Fronting a powerhouse trio, Kristy delivers a thrilling mix of hard-driving bluegrass, country, folk, and Americana, anchored by dazzling musicianship and rich, soul-stirring harmonies.

The Tray Wellington Band
Banjo player Tray Wellington’s approach to the quintessential American instrument is all about looking forward. An International Bluegrass Music Association Award winner, Wellington is critically acclaimed not only for his technical prowess, but also for leveraging his unique point of view to craft a one-of-a-kind voice on the instrument. It’s a feat that’s all too rare in these roots genres that seem to value emulation and regurgitation over all else. Instead, Wellington has time and time again reasserted that his playing style, and all of the many varied and disparate parts that combine within it, is wholly his own – and it’s unconcerned with tradition.

Colby T. Helms & The Virginia Creepers
You can take Helms out of Virginia, but you can’t take Virginia out of Helms. His songwriting incorporates waltzes, ballads, and old-school rhythms that once formed the backbone of Appalachian dances but have become rare in modern roots music. Songs like “Fool’s Gold,” “Voices Shot,” and “Ballad of the Bondurant Boys” pay tribute to those traditions, while tracks like “Welcome to the Freak Show” serve as a mission statement, reminding us that regardless of background, geography, or circumstance, everyone deserves a seat at the table. “Backwoods or suburbs, you know we are all just the same,” he sings, “’cause no matter where you come from, we all got red blood and it’s coursing through all of our veins.”
Sid Simons w/ Lawn Enforcement
Sid Simons is a New York City-based songwriter and performer whose music is as dynamic and worldly as his background. Born in Portland, OR, raised in Sydney, Australia, and schooled in the underground rock scenes of China and NYC, Simons crafts a sound that seamlessly blends the grit of the early 2000s indie rock revival with the soulful, melodic warmth of 1970s Americana. Having already sold out iconic venues like the Bowery Ballroom and toured extensively across North America and Europe, Sid Simons is a star on the rise, bringing an infectious, crowd-commanding energy to every stage he plays. Lawn Enforcement is a three piece rock band from Wilmington, NC with influences ranging from Dinosaur Jr to Title Fight. Formed by frontman Max Agee in 2021. Their sound ranges from a soft 90s grunge sound to brutal screams and metalcore riffs. Each song presents a new direction without deviating from their three piece dynamic. From playing sororities to hardcore shows, they are not worried about fitting any certain bill, and most definitely aren’t worried about “making it”. This trio values connection, passion, and presents something new while also feeling familiar.
The Local Honeys w/ Grace Rogers
The Local Honeys blend traditional Kentucky music with modern soundscapes and original songwriting. Fuzzed out guitar and a vibey rhythm section set the sonic bedrock to showcase the entwinement of old-time banjo and fiddle styles at the forefront of their sound. The Honeys understand the complexities of contemporary Appalachian life and their music is reflective of such through raw and emotive songs. The narratives and perspective they weave into song, the deep understanding and endearment they share for hillbilly music, and their undeniable charm make it clear the duo is poised to become defining voices of a new Appalachia. Grace Rogers is a musician & writer from Kentucky having just released her debut full length album Mad Dogs (Sophomore Lounge, 2025). Grace Rogers blends rock, country, and traditional influences into tunes that, in the words of Leigh Viner, “hum like hymns and drive like rain.” Pitchfork named Mad Dogs one of the 30 best Rock Albums of 2025, and Stereogum writes, “Rogers has the kind of talent and irrepressible personality that makes a singer-songwriter stand out in a crowded field.”
Jill Andrews (Full Band/Matinee)
Bold, infectious, introspective music that has served as the backdrop to some of America’s most beloved television series including Grey’s Anatomy, This Is Us, Nashville, and Wynnona Earp, to which she composed the theme. “Andrews’ songs are beautifully crafted and the production molds even the more pensive selections into minor masterpieces” — American Songwriter “Jill Andrews is one of the strongest young female songwriters around.” — Paste Magazine

After forming in the city of Bellingham in 2022, the group quickly progressed from running their own house-shows to performing at established local venues such as The Wild Buffalo and the Blue Room. Renowned for emotionally charged vocal melodies and evocative guitar solos, the band’s sound continues to develop as they write relentlessly in the garage of their shared home. Relocating to Seattle in the fall of 2023, the group hit the ground running, and recently cemented their name as a staple in the scene with a sold out EP release show at The Tractor Tavern. Since the release of their debut single in early 2024, the band has amassed over two million streams to date. With a national touring presence now established and new music on the way, the band is excited for what the rest of 2026 has in store.
