AMBER MAE
Saturday
Hailing from Redding, California, and raised in the scenic Napa Valley, Amber Mae was immersed in music from an early age. Coming from a musical family of six girls, the foundation for a lifelong passion was built early by their father which led to a deep connection with sound and storytelling.
Since high school, Amber Mae has been an integral part of various bands, honing skills as a multi-instrumentalist on piano, guitar, and drums. Influenced by the raw emotion of soul, the timeless energy of classic rock, and the grit of the blues, she delivers a sound that is both powerful and deeply authentic.
Known for soulful, gritty vocals that command attention, Amber Mae brings an electrifying presence to every performance, channeling influences while forging a unique musical identity. Whether on stage in a big venue or quaint pubs, the passion and intensity behind every note are unmistakable.

THE JUNEBUGS
Saturday and Sunday
Imagine if Neil Young and Janis Joplin had three love children, and those children grew up to like folk rock and hip hop. The Junebugs combine high-energy pop and rock with Pacific Northwest folksy goodness to create a genre-bending sound you can kick up your heels to.
The Junebugs originated on the Vancouver, BC circuit before moving back home to Portland, OR. There, guitarist Barrett picked up drummer Kyle Owen and bassist Nathaniel Daniel, to round out the dynamic trio. Covering everything from Tom Petty to TLC to Lorde, the eclectic taste of the trio ranges from turn-of-the-century Americana to modern Hip Hop, with a strong emphasis on vocal harmony. Their original tunes have a dreamy, sweet quality reminiscent of Neil Young and Iron & Wine, peppered with fiery banjo lines. There is something for everyone here.
“The American songbook is alive and well, and it didn’t end in the 1950’s,” Barrett says.
The Junebugs are available to play your swanky corporate events, woodsy weddings, or sweet parties. Contact them for more information.

ALLISON SCULL & VICTOR MARTIN
Sunday
Allison Scull & Victor Martin have released their fourth recording, Nation of Jubilation. A blend of acoustic, jazz, and soul sounds, Allison and Victor's unusual collaborative style connects to people from all walks of life. Their title track, Nation of Jubilation, conveys their experiences on the road “in the mountains, the valleys and the sea” and the community that is created around the mystical moments of live music.
With Allison on guitar and vocals, Victor performs on saxophone, vocals, and shaker (yes the egg shaker!). Together, they create a fusion of musical forms by blending roots music — a fusion of jazz, folk, blues, a little funk, originals and some standards laced with some Spanish and French lyrics. Allison learned French where she grew up in Belgium while Victor was born and raised on the East Coast in Middletown, Delaware.
As artists Allison and Victor pride themselves not only on writing and performing original songs, but putting unusual twists on cover songs by greats such as Bob Marley and Antonio Carlos Jobim, and John Prine. While forging their own artistic path and creating a satisfying life of music is most important to these two, they were honored to play music at the Historic Cascade Theater in Redding, California with The Blind Boys of Alabama and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Other artists they have also shared the stage with include Tuck and Patti, Walter “Wolfman” Washington, Craig Chaquico, Shana Morrison, Archie Lee Hooker, Acoustic Alchemy, blues legends John Hammond (Rogue Theatre, Grants Pass) Lazy Lester (Chico, CA) , famed drummer Akira Tana and hall of famer, guitarist Terry Robb.

HOOK
Sunday
