Showtime 8pm Doors 6pm Advance $18 (+taxes & fees) Doors $25 (+taxes) Will Wiesenfeld has been recording original music for more than 15 years, most notably under the moniker Baths. Will has had albums, collaborations and remix work released on dozens of independent labels, and toured around the world. He maintains a philosophy of keeping his work as personal as possible, with the majority of his music created in his home studio. For his fourth full-length album Gut, Will embraces a new personal ethos of writing "from the stomach" versus writing from the heart. "I'm sketching my strongest and most pervasive feelings out quickly and treating their roughness as gospel, then exploring them in greater detail with the added sheen of time and perspective." The most impressive Baths album of Wiesenfeld's career, Gut spans a breathtaking spectrum of lacerating hopelessness to lustful joy, inspired by the more unforgiving oeuvre of post-punk and noise music, and any music that works its magic through blunt force rather than careful introspection. Fashion Club is the recording alias of Los Angeles artist Pascal Stevenson, who originally conceived of the project while on tour with her band Moaning. Listening to Fashion Club’s self-produced second album A Love You Cannot Shake feels like being caught in the crossfire of a profound beam of light. You can’t help but feel both enlivened and exposed as its aberrant synth lines, artful strings and disfigured guitars swell into larger-than-life crescendos, which evoke a divine yet probing spotlight. You can bask in the glow of a towering light with self-assured poise, but there’s also something inherently uncomfortable about an imposing light source—revealing yourself to onlookers (and oneself) comes with varying levels of anxiety and self-doubt. This is the tension at the heart of A Love You Cannot Shake, a record of lush radiance and otherworldly scope, with each track functioning as its own twinkling, transportive realm. Dosh is principally a percussionist who usually adds a Rhodes piano to his kit and uses other electronic devices such as samplers and looping pedals. He has been characterized as experimental/electronica due to his use of signal-altering devices in performance to allow him to create live solo performances using keyboards, tuned percussion, and drums. Dosh often collaborates with other musicians in recordings and live performances, both as leader and in support

Equally virtuosic playing acoustic jazz, boundary-stretching electronic music, or next-level rock, he’s become a key collaborator with such original sonic thinkers as St. Vincent, Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden), Brad Mehldau, M83, Meshell Ndegeocello, and the late, great David Bowie. Guiliana’s latest release ‘MARK’, is his first entirely solo work which boldly showcases him as composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist – performing and layering percussion, piano, synthesizers and more. This new foray into his growing body of renowned work, recorded at Studio 606 in Los Angeles, is a culmination of Guiliana's experiences and inspirations, and at the same time the catalyst of a new direction. 'MARK' follows his first two acclaimed Edition Records albums 'the sound of listening' and 'Mischief'.

Working out who you are in front of an ever-growing audience is no small task, but one that the Portland-born, Nashville-based singer/songwriter is up for and thriving. Olive graduated with a liberal arts degree shortly before the 2020 pandemic derailed their plans of pursuing a career in social work. Though they'd recorded and self-released the 2019 EP "Fire Alarm" from a childhood friend's bedroom, up until early 2021, Olive categorized their music as either a hobby or a pipe dream, depending on who was asking. However, after being laid off of a teaching job in late 2020, Olive starting working as a barista and decided to commit all of their extra energy to an ever-growing community of fans online. Olive can't help but be unapologetically themselves, something their community of fans (dubbed the "Klug Bugs" on Instagram and Discord) appreciate most about them. Their debut LP ranges from a playful Americana romp about "watching all the rules disintegrate" to folk-punk anthem "Coming of Age," which somehow manages to reference both pop singer Taylor Swift and existential philosopher Kierkegaard in one song, to "Parched"'s haunting modern ballad about a doomed relationship, to an indie rock closer about learning to take up space as a person with a marginalized identity. Through this no-holds-barred documentation of the struggles of their early adulthood, Klug embraces all their inner contradictions with reckless abandon. Combining their knack for storytelling with a lilting soprano voice, Klug offers observations with an unflinching honesty. "I'll stop seeking to find, start saying what's on my mind," sings Klug on Out Of Line, the lead single from their 2023 label-debut album, Don't You Dare Make Me Jaded. The album takes on the world with visceral and tactile images: it finds them falling in love with reckless abandon, haunted by the ghost of an old lover, waiting for fairies in the backyard of their childhood home. Olive's work is optimistic, but not naive. Klug emerged into the scene in fraught times: for the folk landscape, for the country, for themself. By combining Golden Age folk references and contemporary narratives with ease, Olive Klug is a singular voice for the future of folk: honest, compelling, often unsure, but willing to try anyway. 2024 finds Olive in Nashville, attempting to stabilize after a 3-year whirlwind of viral niche internet-fame, nonstop touring, and music industry naïveté. Olive's social work background grounds them in community, a word they keep coming back to when ego proves unfulfilling. After attending Folk Alliance International for the last two years, Olive is excited to solidify themselves as a fixture of the greater folk community and return to what inspires them the most about music; the catharsis and social change that is possible when people come together and share themselves through song. Pine & Fire is a working class folk duo from the north woods of Minnesota, formed by longtime best friends, Jobi Adams and Brandi Foster. They blend traditional roots music influences with a modern punk sentiment, creating a unique and driving sound. Together they sing original songs woven with themes of love, escapism, home, and growth. Since their start as pine & fire in 2019, they have released three self-produced projects. In 2020 they released their debut EP, 'We're All Thinking It...'. In 2021, they released ‘the son’, a vulnerable, cohesive project created and written by Jobi and accompanied and produced by Brandi. In August of 2022 they released a six song EP called People Come and Go , which takes us through the ups and downs of navigating human relationships. Most recently Pine & Fire have been awarded the 2023 Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship in Music.

North Carolina pianist, producer, and songwriter Phil Cook releases a new standalone single, the piano-centric take on “I Made a Lovers Prayer” alongside a new visualizer made by Daniel Fox. “I Made a Lovers Prayer” — the slow-motion wrecking ball that sways near the end of Gillian Welch’s 2003 album, Soul Journey — contains as many questions as answers: Does love lead to doom or offer deliverance? Does it render us with wonder or woe? There is no easy way to parse any of it. Cook’s solo interpretation of that elliptical gem was recorded in the throes of intense personal upheaval. In Fall 2022, Cook found himself living alone on his friends’ farm in North Carolina’s Piedmont. There, on the edge of forests and fields, he would wake to a dawn chorus, his window left slightly ajar to let the sound in. Cook began recording these birds and responding to them at the instrument that is the prolific multi-instrumentalist’s first and most steadfast love: the piano. For nearly five minutes here on “Lovers Prayer,” Cook indulges in that absolute ambiguity, the racing-heart motion of one hand countered by the stops and starts, furrowed brows and furtive glances of the other. Where is this all going, he seems to ask without a word, and who will I be when I get there? Two decades ago, Welch and David Rawlings built the musical and conceptual frame into which Cook steps here. For himself, at last, he’s trying to solve riddles he knows are beyond us all. From Phil Cook: “This song by Gillian Welch has gotten me through a lot in the last 20 years. The piano has gotten me through a lot in the last 40 years. Putting them together has been a revelation for me and I’m glad to share that with you all today. Much love.” LISTEN HERE: ffm.to/philcook A prolific songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, solo artist, and in-demand musician whose collaborations have run the gamut of genre -- as a founding member of beloved band Megafaun to work with Waxahatchee, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Bon Iver, and Hiss Golden Messenger, to name a few -- here, Cook returns to his primary instrument, today’s single is the first new solo music Cook has released since his debut fully-instrumental piano release, All These Years (“arresting in its intimacy and immediacy” - Pitchfork), which was released in November 2021 via Psychic Hotline.
