The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Mt Fog A conscious mycelial network and perhaps "Seattle's premier art pop eccentric" (Bandcamp Daily), Mt Fog began as the project of singer and classically-trained violinist Carolyn B. and has been "expanded now to large, euphoric dimensions and laced with connective tissues of drum and bass" (dusted mag) with Andy Sells and Casey Rosebridge. Mt Fog has been enchanting audiences across the Northwest and, most recently, Europe with its high-energy, haunted-forest performances. Their new album Ultraviolet Heart Machine has been called "thrillingly theatrical" (Bandcamp Daily) and “a vulnerable, transformative experience" (WASH). Featured in KEXP and named by critics a top album of 2024 in the Seattle Times, it is out on vinyl via Ghost Mountain Records.

Twingle is the moniker of songstress and multi-instrumentalist Anna Sabatino, based out of Portland. Raised in a one-room cabin in Evergreen, Colorado, she began writing songs featuring guitar and banjo at a young age. Her roots are in old-timey folk and bluegrass, but she later went on to realms of Experimental/Psychedelic/French pop, which all work to cultivate her sound and melodic patterns. Her songs live somewhere in the realm of familiar but entirely unexpected. Twingle’s debut album, Future Caviar, coming out August 18, 2024, is a can of worms focusing on the personal lives of female writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The album was recorded on tape in Anna and Eric Sabatino's garage. Produced by their dear friend Tommy Hollywood.

Tispur is a dream-folk project fronted by Samwise Carlson which forms intricate guitar, dream-like vocals, and ornate lyricism to excite evocative imagery of imaginary worlds. Samwise is known for its angelic vocal style, impressive range and gently hypnotic, moving performances akin to the spirits of Nick Drake, Vashti Bunyan, and Joanna Newsom.
