—THE OUTLAW MARIACHI— The OutLaw Mariachi is L.A.’s Premiere Rock Mariachi Band. The band’s beginnings started with a decade-long partnership between the original frontmen and musical director of the well known group Metalachi. In 2020, this duo gathered a group of All-Star caliber musicians and gave birth to The OutLaw Mariachi during the pandemic. After creating a great online presence through podcasts and livestream performances, they quickly became a juggernaut on the music scene once live performances started up again post-pandemic. Since then, The group has become one of the most unique and fastest growing shows out of Los Angeles.
These Charros of Rock blend traditional mariachi sounds with the high powered energy of American and Latin Rock. Their music also incorporates heavy influences from genres such as Hard Rock, Afro-Caribbean, Country, and many danceable rhythms such as Cumbia, Merengue, Zapateado, Mambo, etc….. After applying their unique style to familiar hits from countless artists such as Queen, Pink Floyd, Beastie Boys, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eagles, Guns N Roses, Rammstein, etc. Audiences find it hard to stay in their seats as it quickly becomes a dance party!
Fronted by singer “GunSkull” Ricky and trumpeter Mateo “Mad Mav” Durán, the show also entertains with a comedic element that keeps the audience compelled from start to finish. The OutLaw Mariachi may not be your typical Mariachi, but it prides itself in being genuine charros and most band members often perform with traditional mariachi ensembles when not on the road. This versatility also allows the band to entertain both American and Latino audiences of all ages and nationalities with musical selections that are guaranteed to please.

Ruthie Foster’s musical journey is as eclectic and vibrant as her soulful voice. Born into a family steeped in gospel tradition, Ruthie’s earliest influences were the voices of her mother, grandmother, and the gospel singers she grew up listening to — artists like the Gospel Keynotes and the Blind Boys of Alabama. However, her path to becoming a solo artist wasn’t a straightforward one. Despite a deep love for music, Ruthie initially shied away from the spotlight, preferring to play guitar, piano, and write songs for others.

For over a century, the Hotel Congress has stood at the heart of Tucson, a living witness to the city’s history—and to those who refuse to leave it behind. Built in 1919, the hotel was designed for travelers stepping off the Southern Pacific line, with guest rooms, a café, a beauty shop, a barber, and the now-famous Tap Room bar. Yet beneath the grandeur of its architecture lies something far older: the land itself has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, making Tucson one of North America’s oldest, and most haunted, living communities.
On this 30-minute walking tour, you’ll be let in on the hotel’s best-kept secrets. Meet the lace-shrouded lady of the staircase, drifting through the lobby trailing the faint scent of roses; the Victorian Gentleman in Room 214, quietly surveying the plaza in seersucker and top hat; the Locksmith’s Apprentice, tinkering at unseen locks; Vince, the butter-knife handyman, still tending to his work decades after his passing; and the Lady in White, whose presence has startled more than a few male guests. You’ll even hear the story of infamous bank robber John Dillinger, who passed through Hotel Congress in 1934 before a fire exposed his gang’s presence and led to his capture—without a single shot fired.
The tour wraps up in the rarely seen séance room, a space of quiet reflection, lingering echoes, and centuries of footsteps—perfect for anyone curious enough to step just a little closer to the unexplained. It’s more than a ghost tour; it’s a backstage pass to a living portrait of Hotel Congress, where history, humanity, and spirits mingle in plain sight.
Please note: the elevator was destroyed in the famous 1934 fire—guests must climb one flight of stairs to reach the haunted rooms.

Luna Luna is the solo project of Colombian-American artist Kavvi, known for crafting a vibrant sound that seamlessly blends his Spanish and English roots. Mixing nostalgic, feel-good synth-pop with a modern indie edge, Luna Luna has become a standout name in the alt-pop and Latin indie scenes.
What started as a personal creative outlet has evolved into a project that has earned serious recognition — including nods from Rolling Stone as one of “10 Latin Acts to Break Big” and from Variety as one of “8 Latin Indie Artists to Watch.” Luna Luna’s music has been featured by Billboard, PEOPLE, NPR, Paper, FLOOD, Earmilk, REMEZCLA, and more, while also landing on major Spotify playlists like New Music Friday, Lorem, and Mixto.
Known for dreamy live shows and an acclaimed Audiotree session, Luna Luna has built a devoted fanbase and a strong online presence, generating millions of views with over a quarter million followers across platforms. Brand collaborations with Jack Daniel’s, Topo Chico, and Taco Bell highlight the project’s growing cultural impact, all while staying true to the emotional core that makes the music resonate so deeply

— THE MELVINS—The Melvins are one of modern music’s most influential bands. Having formed in 1983 Montesano, Washington, the group – founded by vocalist/guitarist Buzz Osborne, with drummer Dale Crover joining a year later – has been credited with merging the worlds of punk rock and heavy music, forming a new subgenre all their own. Over their 40-plus-year career, they’ve released more than 30 original albums, numerous live records, and far too many to count singles and rarities. Recent releases include 2024’s Tarantula Heart, a really good collection of what the Melvins do, what they can do and what they want to do, and Five Legged Dog (2021), an ambitious 36-track acoustic collection that reimagines their heaviest songs alongside covers of their favorite artists. Throughout their discography, the Melvins have collaborated with Jello Biafra, Mudhoney, and Fantômas for individual releases and toured the world many times over. Remarkably, they had the misfortune to be in both Christchurch and Tokyo for their 2011 earthquakes. In 2012, the Melvins completed the “51 States in 51 Days” (50 states +DC) tour, which was chronicled in the film “Across The USA in 51 Days.” The current incarnation of the band is Osborne, Crover, and Steven McDonald (Redd Kross). Previous line- ups included a pairing of Osborne and Crover with Jared Warren and Coady Willis of Big Business, a four-piece featuring the current trio plus Butthole Surfers’ Jeff Pinkus, as well as Melvins Lite, which partners Osborne and Crover with Mr. Bungle’s Trevor Dunn. Sometimes, if you’re extra lucky, one version of the Melvins will open for the Melvins.
—REDD KROSS—In 1979, two school-kids all hopped-up on punk-rock started their own group in their hometown of Hawthorne, Los Angeles (birthplace of the Beach Boys) and soon found themselves opening shows for notorious scene pioneers Black Flag. Jeff McDonald was 15, his brother Steven only 11. But that didn’t stop their group from becoming one of the most remarkable, enduring and unique outfits punk- rock ever belched up.
2024, then, marks Redd Kross’s 45th birthday – an important anniversary for any group whose heart pulses at 45RPM – and the brothers are celebrating the event with a veritable multimedia extravaganza. There’s a memoir, Now You’re One Of Us, due in November, author Dan Epstein telling the group’s story in the McDonalds’ unmistakable (and occasionally contrary) voices. A brilliant rockumentary, Born Innocent, directed by Andrew Reich, will premiere later in the year. Most exciting of all, a new album – an eponymous double-album, no less, packed with 18 of their sharpest, most addictive songs yet – will hit the racks, courtesy of In The Red Records. These years of joyful service to rock’n’roll have seen Redd Kross evolve into a killer pop-rock concern, dealing in dayglo power-chords, choruses as tall as skyscrapers and a lyric sheet thick with acid couplets and arch pop- cultural references their loyal following will gobble up like quaaludes.

w. Sophia Rankin & The Sound
Glitterfox doesn’t chase the algorithm — they follow instinct, community, and a kind of magia (Basque for magic). Formed by longtime creative partners Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker, the Portland-based band has built their career the analog way: a van, a map, and unforgettable shows stitched across towns like constellations. Their rise has been defined by raw connection and fearless self-expression, with music that fuses garage rock grit, new wave shimmer, southern Americana soul, and a dancefloor pulse – all tangled with heart and heat until what emerges is unmistakably, inimitably Glitterfox.
Now joined by Eric Stalker and Blaine Heinonen, Glitterfox is more than a band – they’re chosen family, held together by sound and the invisible threads that music always knows how to weave. Whether launching Portland’s annual Glitterfest as a wedding reception or channeling the messy middle of life into something unforgettable, Glitterfox’s gift is their transparency, their defiance, and their freedom – sung loud

—**ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO**— Alejandro Escovedo’s new album, Echo Dancing, is an adventure in life. No one has really been able to define themselves and their music like singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo. His life in music sometimes feels like a swirl through the sky, where his songs point out all the majesty and mystery of how he sees the world. The sounds he makes take him places that he might not even predict, but once there, greatness always follows. It’s just the way Escovedo is. It has happened over and over for decades, almost like a fateful agreement he has with the cosmos. There is a good chance it cannot be explained, especially by him.
—**DAVE GONZALEZ**— Dave Gonzalez is a preeminent American roots music guitarist. In 1980 he was the founding member of the rockabilly blues band The Paladins. His group would go on to record twelve albums and headline festivals around the world. Endorsed by Fender, the company made a Signature Model guitar for him called the Guild Paladin and Guitar Player Magazine has called him one of the Top 101 Unsung Guitar Heroes. In 2003 Gonzalez, along with vocalist Chris Gaffney, founded the western soul band, The Hacienda Brothers. This ensemble would go on to gain critical acclaim, including a 2007 nomination by the Americana Music Association for “Group of The Year.” It was during his years with the Hacienda Brothers that he cemented a life changing relationship with Muscle Shoals legend Dan Penn. Penn, who produced the first two Hacienda Brothers records inspired Gonzalez to create RattleShack Analog Recording Studios in Driftwood, Texas. In 2023 his solo record Grits ‘N Gravy Vol. 1 marked the first album produced at the new studio. Dave Gonzalez is doing some exclusive dates with The Paladins this year and he is also very excited to be performing two shows in Arizona backed by Mike Hebert and the Kings of Pleasure featuring Alex Flores.

—BIG RICHARD—Since exploding onto the Colorado scene in 2021, the four women of the supergroup Big Richard have been on a wild ride. Although they showed up to their first gig armed with homemade puff paint t-shirts, a load of crass jokes, and all dressed intentionally like Stevie Nicks, from the first few notes of their tight vocal harmonies, dazzling string virtuosity, and clever arrangements, no one had any choice but to take them seriously.
Determined to be more than a one-night stand, Big Richard hit the road. They slapped as hard as possible on the festival circuit, worked up their stamina on nationwide headlining tours, and left a wake of die-hard Big Richard Heads across the country swooning for their honest songwriting, chilling vocals, and fiddle-driven barn-burners.
Fueled by a steady diet of gas station snacks, Big Richard is currently touring their debut full-length studio album Girl Dinner, following a whirlwind year that included performances on PBS’ the Cavern Sessions, NPR’s World Cafe, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Delfest, Bourbon and Beyond, Jam Cruise, and New Year’s Eve at the Ryman in Nashville.
They often refer to themselves as the gremlins of the bluegrass world, and the gremlins are: platinum recording artist Bonnie Sims, who rips the mandolin and smells like Snoop Dogg’s sock drawer; road dog Eve Panning, who toured extensively with the fiddle band Barrage and has trained her dog to murder on command; bassist Hazel Royer, plucked from the sidewalk in front of Berklee, can probably communicate with crows; and Dr. Joy Adams, who would just rather be skiing.

Built in 1919, the hotel was designed for travelers stepping off the Southern Pacific line, with guest rooms, a café, a beauty shop, a barber, and the now-famous Tap Room bar. Yet beneath the grandeur of its architecture lies something far older: the land itself has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, making Tucson one of North America’s oldest, and most haunted, living communities.
On this 30-minute walking tour, you’ll be let in on the hotel’s best-kept secrets. Meet the lace-shrouded lady of the staircase, drifting through the lobby trailing the faint scent of roses; the Victorian Gentleman in Room 214, quietly surveying the plaza in seersucker and top hat; the Locksmith’s Apprentice, tinkering at unseen locks; Vince, the butter-knife handyman, still tending to his work decades after his passing; and the Lady in White, whose presence has startled more than a few male guests. You’ll even hear the story of infamous bank robber John Dillinger, who passed through Hotel Congress in 1934 before a fire exposed his gang’s presence and led to his capture—without a single shot fired.
The tour wraps up in the rarely seen séance room, a space of quiet reflection, lingering echoes, and centuries of footsteps—perfect for anyone curious enough to step just a little closer to the unexplained. It’s more than a ghost tour; it’s a backstage pass to a living portrait of Hotel Congress, where history, humanity, and spirits mingle in plain sight.
Please note: the elevator was destroyed in the famous 1934 fire—guests must climb one flight of stairs to reach the haunted rooms.

Joining them this time will be Lazer Dad & Hanna Kline presenting a very special pole performance!
–AURELIA ANNE COHEN–Aurelia Anne Cohen is a purveyor of Original Time Travelin Folk music, a multi-instrumentalist and multi medium performance artist, either on tour or collaborating with friends to create one of a kind live entertainment everywhere she goes, Aurelia Anne is a sensation all her own.
–PETUNIA AND THE VIPERS–Petunia is more than just an entertainer, he’s a modern musical enigma. Imagine that David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby, that yodeled… or Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction. This is just one way of describing the man known simply as Petunia. He’s an adventure seeker, a poker player, and a mysterious stranger. He’s been referred to as “The Savior of Country Music”, and a man who exists in a different era, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgotten.

Ray and Paul are brothers from the San Francisco Bay Area who started their band when they were just 17 and 13.
They broke onto the scene in 2019 with their debut single “Mystery”, written by Ray at seventeen. The track made waves in the Bay Area and caught the attention of several Spotify Editorial Playlists. That early momentum led to their self-titled debut album and a sync placement for the song “Butterflies” in HBO’s The Sex Lives of College Girls.
When the brothers moved to Santa Barbara for college, their sound soaked up the raw, carefree energy of the Surf and Garage Rock scenes. Gigging around Isla Vista and connecting with the local DIY community helped them sharpen their live show. In October 2023, they released “Pelican”, which remains their top track on Spotify. Its follow-up, “Blue”, added heavier guitars and their trademark vocal melodies, becoming a staple of their electric live performances.
In 2025, they launched their own label, Desert Lady Records, with AWAL. That same year, they toured with bands like Sun Room and The Moss, and hit festivals including SXSW and Treefort. Their live lineup also features longtime collaborators Aidan Reese (guitar) and Mac Bihn (bass).
After dropping three singles in 2025 — “Tell Me,” “Scars,” and “Alright” — the band is gearing up to release their highly anticipated Fading EP on September 10, featuring six tracks. The release will be supported by The Fading Tour, with headlining dates across California, before joining Australian band Dice as support on their U.S. tour.

Each generation, perhaps once a decade, bluegrass experiences a band or an artist that redefines and recenters the genre itself. Della Mae is one such band.
The GRAMMY-nominated string band was founded in 2010 and over the next decade and a half they’ve demonstrated to the roots music world, once and for all, that a band of all women is not, nor has ever been, a mere novelty. They remain at the forefront of the explosion of women instrumentalists and all-women acts in roots music and their impact is striking and measurable – not just in North America, but around the globe.
Now 15 years since their origin, Della Mae can boast their strongest lineup yet. Founders Kimber Ludiker and Celia Woodsmith are joined by guitarist and songwriter Avril Smith and vocalist and two-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year Vickie Vaughn.
There has never been a band like Della Mae in roots music before, but thanks to Kimber Ludiker, Celia Woodsmith, Avril Smith, Vickie Vaughn – and all of the women who have been part of this band over its long life – we know there will be many more bands, singers, songwriters, and pickers just like Della Mae in the future.

The easiest way to explain ELIJAH’s music is his Spotify bio: “art from the pain”. With each ear-worm hook, rage-inducing breakdown, and perfectly placed lyric, it’s understandable why so many fans have already claimed ELIJAH as their favorite artist. Whether it’s moshing to EASY TO DROWN, or reminiscing to GUILTY, his most recent single, there’s a song for every rock lover in the young artist’s set. And with the release of SKIN on March 7th, a new chapter of ELIJAH’s career begins. One that is louder, more sincere, more vulnerable, and with much more to prove.

Songwriter Joey Wit makes his debut appearance on the Hotel Congress Plaza stage! This time he is joined by up-and-coming Tucson band Porcelain Scorpion!
If Joey Wit had only been a short-lived professional baseball player, that would have been enough of a legacy to satisfy his adventurous spirit. But after three years and multiple concussions, when his career ended abruptly, he was blessed with the hard-earned realization that he never felt as alive or awake in athletics as he did writing and performing music. As a boy who grew up listening to classic rock in the likes of the Beatles and Stones, while drowning in guitar catalogs before and between little league games, his homecoming back to music was both a dream and the hardest thing he’s ever done, yet where he’s supposed to be.

Zoso: The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience
Celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2025, Zoso has become one of the most iconic and respected Led Zeppelin tribute experiences in the world, having played over 4,800 shows across the globe. Known for their unparalleled dedication to faithfully recreating the legendary band’s live performances, Zoso has earned accolades from both critics and fans alike.
Zoso’s live performances focus on the raw energy and intricate musicality of Led Zeppelin’s best-known hits and deeper tracks, with a particular emphasis on recreating their live show experience. The band’s commitment to authenticity has earned them praise from major outlets, with the LA Times calling them “head and shoulders above all other Led Zeppelin tributes,” and the St. Petersburg Times describing them as “the most exacting of all the Led Zeppelin tributes.”
The band was founded in 1995 by Matt Jernigan and Adam Sandling, both of whom are renowned for their exceptional musicianship and passion for Led Zeppelin’s music. Jernigan, who takes on the colossal role of Robert Plant, has a commanding stage presence that rivals the icon himself. Sandling, who brings John Paul Jones to life, masterfully plays bass, keyboards, and mandolin, replicating the multifaceted talent of the Zeppelin legend.
In 2015, Bevan Davies joined Zoso on drums to master the part of John Bonham. An accomplished touring and studio drummer with a resume that includes playing with such artists as Danzig, Jerry Cantrell (of Alice in Chains), and Static X and many more. Davies brings an unmistakable power and precision to Zoso’s live shows, helping the band recreate Bonham’s legendary drum sound. His performance of Bonham’s legendary Moby Dick is something to behold.
In 2025, at the age of 24, Holston Rainero joined the band, taking on the monumental guitar role of Jimmy Page. A fan of Zoso, Rainero didn’t let an opportunity slip away when he learned of an opening in the band’s lineup. His story read like something straight out of a movie script; Rainero reached out directly to the band through social media to request an audition. While dozens of musicians had already contacted the band with no success, Rainero’s determination set him apart.
Refusing to take no for an answer, he began uploading videos of himself playing classic songs from the band in his bedroom. It didn’t take long for the band to recognize his extraordinary talent. His playing was not just skilled, it was a truly inspired performance, with the technical mastery and soul that made it clear he was something special.
The band immediately got him to Atlanta for an in-person audition. Rainero, ever ready, arrived with his bags packed, knowing he was prepared to seize the moment. His live audition exceeded all expectations, and within days, he was on tour with the band, stepping into one of rock history’s most iconic roles.
After starting out 2025 touring with Zakk Wylde on the Zakk Sabbath tour. The band has now embarked on its 30th anniversary headlining tour. New dates for the tour are being added every week with the hopes of reaching 150 shows this year. Find your tickets at Zosoontour.com and come relive the live Zeppelin show as it was played back in the day!

—TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET— Teenage Bottlerocket have been making skatepark pop punk since the turn of the millennium. Formed in Wyoming by twin brothers Ray and Brandon Carlisle, the four-piece’s sound – especially on They Came From The Shadows (2009) and Tales From Wyoming (2015) – is heavily influenced by the work of the Ramones.
—FEA—San Antonio-based band Fea embody one of the most vital tenets of punk: total and unapologetic freedom, fearlessly expressed with both fury and joy. Produced by Chicana punk legend Alice Bag, their sophomore album No Novelties finds Fea following their instincts into entirely unexpected directions (e.g., covering an early-’90s pop anthem from Mexican superstar Gloria Trevi, trash-talking en Français on a yé-yé-inspired track called “Merde”). But even in its most playful moments, No Novelties channels a classic-punk ferocity, endlessly backing Fea’s sticky melodies with breakneck rhythms, blistering guitar riffs, and boldly nuanced vocal work.
—SAM RUSSO—Years ago, Brendan Kelly and Dan Andriano did a tour of Europe, and they brought back a buncha raunchy tales and a pile of band demos intended for Red Scare. As usual, we disregarded their dubious plunder, but they insisted we check out Sam Russo from the UK. “You’re gonna love this guy, he snuck into Cuba!” Not sure the Cuba part is true, but they were right about his songs. They said he was one of us: a solemn wiseass with a very unique sense of cadence and melody, setting him apart from all the other punk/solo stuff that was in our orbit. We’ve now done a handful of singles and EPs with the gent from East Anglia, and 2025’s Hold You Hard marks his fourth full length on Red Scare.
Russo doesn’t live in one of the chic punk hubs like Manchester or London, and boy does it show. For better or worse, Sam is an outsider from England’s hinterlands, and that’s reflected in his art. Themes of solitude persist, but in a plot twist that would confound Shyamalan… Sam has a fixation with American beach culture? Well, he’s a pasty Brit from the Suffolk wheat fields, so let a boy have his harmless dreams. Considering all the traveling he does (toured with Tim Barry, The Lawrence Arms, Lucero, and more), he’ll eventually find his way to the sea and surf that he dreams about in his verses.

I Hope We Can Still Be Friends floats in a liminal plane between timely and timeless, its minimalist instrumentation elevating Johnson’s affecting voice to new heights. Recorded at Unknown Studio in Anacortes, Washington, the record was produced by Sera Cahoone — the Seattle-based singer-songwriter Johnson describes as a “soulmate sibling.” Overdubbing took place at Seattle’s Crackle & Pop!
For the sessions, Johnson assembled a small band of friends including Abbey Blackwell (bass, backing vocals), multi-instrumentalist Sam Peterson and Cahoone (drums, backing vocals), who created a familial tone on the already intimate album. I Hope We Can Still Be Friends, with its sharp observations and stirring personal insights, holds space for both intense reflection and emotional release. You may laugh, or cry or both. In this sense, the album is powerful medicine — a way to both expose yourself to and inoculate yourself against the ugly, absurd, existential and heartbreaking. At its core rests a basic truth that is often difficult to remember or accept: Happiness wouldn’t exist without sadness as its counterpart.
On his uncanny ability to so clearly see and then encapsulate humanity in all its messy glory, Johnson offers this core memory, drawn from his childhood on Camano Island in the Puget Sound. “I was raised on a bluff,” he says. “I’m not trying to make it sound dramatic, but I did have a sweeping view.”

Los Angeles based “Freak Americana” project, Dutch Interior, brings collaborative and earnest songwriting under a veil of classic Americana melancholy for their latest album, Blinded by Fame, the six-piece’s first release since 2021’s demo album Kindergarten.
Dutch Interior began as an aimless, decentralized recording project shared between longtime friends in the isolation of early 2020 centered around an 8-track set up on their living room floor. At this point, there was no band, there were no members, no one had an official instrument, there was no “lead singer”, and there was never any intention of releasing anything concrete.
Post-COVID, the formation of a coherent lineup of full time members saw the band play their first round of live shows and begin work on their second album, Blinded by Fame. Recorded and produced by Dutch Interior in their home studio via an 8-track tape machine & board, the band leaned into the limitations of analog recording techniques to create a stripped back & earnest sound.

The Wrecks instigate an immediate reaction. Thanks to an idiosyncratic and infectious D.I.Y. approach to alternative pop, fans not only hang on to the group’s sticky hooks for dear life, but they also sing along to every word (as loudly as possible) at packed headline shows. The Los Angeles-based band—Nick Anderson [vocals, guitar, keyboard, production], Nicholas “Schmizz” Schmidt [lead guitar], Aaron Kelley [bass], and William “Billy” Nally [drums]—helm every facet of their vision, writing, producing, and cooking up a homegrown signature sound without comparison. As such, the quartet deliver an insanely immersive experience for their diehard audience at shows, within songs, and even on social media. Buoyed by this response, they have sold tens of thousands of tickets and independently stacked up nearly 300 million total streams across songs like “Favorite Liar,” (Top 40 Alternative Single) “Fvck Somebody,” and “Freaking Out” (which spent 23 weeks on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation 18 Peaking at #3 and was also a Top 40 Alternative Single) as well as two full-length offerings, namely Infinitely Ordinary [2020] and Sonder [2022]. Of the latter, EUPHORIA. raved, “There’s also some real versatility on the record,” and Wonderland. added, “The sweet sounds of indie-rock are unparalleled, and four-piece The Wrecks are crashing back onto the scene to prove it.” OnesToWatch went as far as to proclaim, “The Wrecks should be your new favorite alternative rock band.” Sonder also appeared on Spotify’s Top 10 USA Album Debut Chart. Last year the guys signed to Lava/Republic Records, kicking off another chapter in the process. It begins with the arrestingly catchy, yet wonderfully off-kilter lead single “Always, Everytime” and “Speed” and the release of INSIDE :. Let The Wrecks take up residence in your head now. You won’t want them to leave.

How Embarrassing Is Jesus? is a standup-flavored fifty minutes in which idiot journalist Lauren Duca investigates the meaning of life just as soon as she can look through the crowd to see if her parents are there. After going viral for publishing “Donald Trump is Gaslighting America” to Teen Vogue, Duca was profiled in The New York Times and canceled by Buzzfeed before running off to the mountains to join a psychedelic cult, where she was saved by a rainbow alien praying mantis named Jesus, and this show has to ask, “How weird is that?” An exploration of internet culture and “God” that could only be created by someone who has been completely destroyed, this trippy comedy goes beyond the religious and political to create a down-to-Earth conversation about the expansion of consciousness and the way we pay attention.

Season to Risk are an indie noise rock band from Kansas City, Missouri formed in 1989 by singer Steve Tulipana, guitarist Duane Trower and bass player Paul Malinowski (Shiner). They met while playing hardcore shows at legendary punk venue The Outhouse in high school years and formed Season to Risk in college. Season to Risk built an audience for their genre-bending (post-hardcore, noise rock, math rock) music by touring relentlessly, playing shows as a young band with legends like Killing Joke, Prong, Killdozer, and the Melvins. The band toured constantly throughout North America, returning home briefly for a few days or weeks. Early songs were written with Tim Dow of Shiner drumming.

Celebrate The Great Gatsby’s 100th birthday with us! Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby has long been hailed as one of the great American novels. A quintessentially American story of money and love, of class and desire, of wealth and the deceptive shimmer of success, The Great Gatsby continues to impress readers as both a depiction of jazz-age opulence and an excavation of its causes and consequences. We invite you to step into Fitzgerald’s brilliantly crystalline prose and experience The Great Gatsby first hand in an immersive evening designed to bring words to life. Featuring live music from The Genevra Kings, readings by the 1920’s Poetry Salon, drink specials, giveaways, a costume contest, dancers, and performances from the stage play, The Great Gatsby birthday party offers an opportunity to live a jazz-age dream. Costumes are encouraged, so wear your favorite 1920’s finery.
The Great Gatsby: An Immersive Birthday Party is presented with The UA Reading Initiative. The UA Reading Initiative was formed in 2024 in response to the perceived need to study and promote reading as a crucial skill in the current moment of AI, digital technology, and short-attention media. For more information or to get involved, please contact Paul Hurh (jphurh@arizona.edu) or Johanna Skibsrud (jskibsrud@arizona.edu).

—TOGETHER PANGEA—Since they began jamming in William’s Santa Clarita bedroom, the Los Angeles rock trio Together Pangea—made up of William Keegan, Danny Bengston, and Erik Jimenez—has continually challenged itself with each album.
Jelly Jam (2010) poured the gasoline, Living Dummy (2011) struck the match, and Badillac (2014) lit the fire with its revved-up ’90s rock-inspired flames. Along the way, fan favorites like “Sick Shit,” “Badillac,” and “Offer” have racked up millions of Spotify streams. The group has also received support from publications like Consequence of Sound, Pitchfork, MTV, and Stereogum.
In 2015, they teamed up with The Replacements’ Tommy Stinson for The Phage EP, setting the stage for 2017’s Bulls and Roosters. That album showcased their evolution into a sharp, brash, and unapologetically confident rock band. With 2021’s DYE, they blended their past eras, drawing from the grunge-fueled chaos of Badillac, the ’50s pop undercurrent of Living Dummy, and the experimental edge of Bulls and Roosters. In 2024, they released the Misery EP, paving the way for what’s to come.
The band has since toured relentlessly, headlining across North America, the UK, and Europe, and sharing stages with Jimmy Eat World. Earlier this year, Together Pangea made their Coachella debut on the Sonora Stage. They also played a Coachella sideshow in Los Angeles at the El Rey with support from Prison Affair, marking another milestone in their career. Now, with a brand-new album slated for release next year, the band is gearing up for a new chapter.

($35-$45 Tickets + DICE fees | 2pm Doors | 3pm Show)
Jeremy Pelt has become one of the preeminent young trumpeters within the world of jazz. Forging a bond with the Mingus Big Band very early on, as his career progressed, Pelt built upon these relationships and many others which eventually lead to collaborations with some of the genre’s greatest masters. These projects include performances and recordings with Cliff Barbaro, Keter Betts, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Ravi Coltrane, Frank Foster, Winard Harper, Jimmy Heath, Vincent Herring, John Hicks, Charli Persip, Ralph Peterson, Lonnie Plaxico, Bobby Short, Cedar Walton, Frank Wess, Nancy Wilson and The Skatalites, to name a few.
Pelt frequently performs alongside such notable ensembles as the Roy Hargrove Big Band, The Village Vanguard Orchestra and the Duke Ellington Big Band, and is a member of the Lewis Nash Septet and The Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band featuring Louis Hayes. As a leader, Pelt has recorded ten albums and has toured globally with his various ensembles, appearing at many major jazz festivals and concert venues.
Pelt’s recordings and performances have earned him critical acclaim, both nationally and internationally. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal by legendary jazz writer and producer, Nat Hentoff, and was voted Rising Star on the trumpet, five years in a row by Downbeat Magazine and the Jazz Journalist Association. Pelt is currently touring throughout the United States and Europe in support of his latest release, “Soundtrack”.

Sparrow Smith, a multi-instrumentalist based in Marshall, NC, is well loved for her evocative songwriting, tasteful banjo playing, epic accordion chops, and striking outfits. A longtime member and leader of multiple bands (most notably Resonant Rogues) with Keith Josiah Smith, her husband and collaborator, Sparrow is stepping out under her own name with a new album of Appalachian originals. Her journey into old time started in her late teens with freight trains and Tommy Jarrell tapes, and her musical taste is also inspired by a lifelong love of dance. When not on tour, Sparrow can be found in the North Carolina mountains where she teaches Women’s Basic Carpentry and is building her own house from scratch.

With a guitar slung over his shoulder and the amps turned up full tilt, Anthony Gomes electrifies blues and rock at a 21st century crossroads of his own. The Canadian vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and producer wails with all the force of a hurricane in the Mississippi Delta and enough fret-burning fireworks to leave his strings in flames. Over the years, he’s toppled the Billboard Blues Chart at #1, earned the endorsement of legends such as B.B. King, tallied tens of millions of streams, and packed shows on multiple continents. In April 2025, Anthony Gomes released his much-anticipated 14th studio album, Praise the Loud, on Rat Pak Records.
