Skybound Blue is harmony-driven, dig-deep-and-tell-the-story-in-your-bones Americana. Fronted by married duo Matt and Jenny Behnke, Skybound Blue is magic on stage – entertaining, funny, and down to earth. Their songwriting and musicianship hold their own in the vein of Americana greats like Shovels and Rope, Brandi Carlile, and Patty Griffin.

Mikey is a player on the rise in the Pacific Northwest and instrumental guitar community alike. He is the second runner up of the 2023 International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship at the Walnut Valley Music Festival (Winfield, KS) and the apprentice of 6 string bass virtuoso Josh Cohen (@themusicofjoshcohen). Primarily performing on a 7 string Charlie Hunter style hybrid guitar, he combines the fingerstyle technique of Charlie Hunter as well as the polyphonic piano-like tapping technique of Stanley Jordan. He delivers an exceptional melodic harmony without the use of loopers or backing tracks across genres spanning from Blues, Funk, Swing, and Bossa Nova.

Cuchulain is a low-voiced songwriter with a wry wit. Featured four years in a row as the NPR Music Tiny Desk Contest “Desk of the Day,” the multi-instrumentalist’s duets album FEAT was called “an as-yet-unpublished portion of the Great American Songbook.” Cuchulain’s deep baritone and clever lyrics have drawn comparisons to Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, and Randy Newman. From the Kennedy Center to the Oregon Country Fair, from Club Passim to the Cobblestone in Dublin, Cuchulain’s lyrics have brought laughs and tears to audiences across the US and beyond as he shared the stage with renowned folk acts including Ira Wolf, Jeffrey Lewis, Viv & Riley, Billy Keane, Upstate, Julianna Zachariou, and more. His Sing In The Shower single release tour took him to Europe in the summer of 2022, and his nationwide My Dog single release tour criss-crossed the US in summer 2023. His latest album Minute To Win It – a visual album of 20 songs in 20 minutes – peaked at 20,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and will be featured in the 2024 Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation, & Technology. His next album of love songs, Window Seat, comes out Valentine’s Day 2025. His wife says that if he gets 1,000 followers on Spotify, he can order the Oceania expansion pack for Wingspan.

Enjoy the Festival Orchestra in a lively tribute celebrating musical anniversaries from Broadway (Beauty and the Beast, Spamalot, Mary Poppins, Fiddler on the Roof and Leonard Bernstein’s Fancy Free) and Film (The Lion King, Forrest Gump, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, My Fair Lady and Henry Mancini’s Pink Panther).

Multi-Platinum Selling Rockers Candlebox will join the highly-anticipated Bush “Loaded: The Greatest Hits Summer 2024 Tour” on July 26 at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater as special guests with Jerry Cantrell.

During the show, Candlebox will perform songs from their latest critically-acclaimed eighth studio album The Long Goodbye (August 2023) as well as their greatest hits, including “You,” “Change,” “Cover Me,” and “Far Behind” from their eponymous debut record, which was certified quadruple platinum and peaked at #7 on the Billboard 200 Charts.

The group will also include hits from their recent releases including such albums as
Disappearing in Airports (2016), which debuted at #9 on the Billboard Charts, and Wolves (2021), which appeared in the Top 10 on two Billboard Charts (Hard Music Albums and Alternative Albums).

The band spent 2023 on “The Long Goodbye Tour” and with 3 Doors Down.

GRAMMY® Award-nominated, Billboard-topping, rockers The Record Company (TRC) will headline the Domino Room on March 12 as part of their “Roll With It” tour to support their latest release The 4th Album. During the show, the trio will perform tracks from their new record like lead single, “Talk to Me,” which reached #4 at AAA radio, and fan favorites “Dance On Mondays” and “Highway Lady,” as well as hits from their catalog including “Off the Ground” (#1 on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs Chart), “Rita Mae Young” (#12 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart), and “Baby, I’m Broken” (#6 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart).

Comprising Vocalist/Guitarist Chris Vos, Bassist Alex Stiff, and Drummer Marc Cazorla, TRC’s deep-rooted bond is evident in their music, akin to a supportive conversation among siblings. The 4th Album showcases this unparalleled bond further. “We know each other’s personalities on the instruments,” explains Vos, emphasizing the trust that has been their secret weapon since their inception in 2011.

Since their breakthrough 2016 debut album Give It Back To You, which earned a GRAMMY® nomination, the band has consistently delivered chart-topping tracks and performances, including their incendiary performance at Bonnaroo which was hailed by Rolling Stone Country as “a wildly energetic show and one of the most communal experiences of the festival.” The show even garnered them a spot on Rolling Stone’s “5 Best Country and Americana Moments.” The group has since shared the stage with such notable artists as John Mayer, B.B. King, Social Distortion, Bob Seger, Blackberry Smoke and many more.

Today, more than a decade since the band formed, TRC continues to invite fans to be a part of their musical journey through their stripped back approach. “We want people to feel like they’re in the house [studio] with us, being part of this unpolished and homemade thing,” said Stiff. Cazorla added, “We embrace that space as part of the raw element. That’s what we explored on this album, and it’s beautiful. We can’t wait to bring it on the road.”
