The maestro behind your favorite film scores is stepping out from the orchestra pit and into the spotlight, promising an electrifying night that bridges the gap between cinematic grandeur and rock revolution. Doors swing open at 7PM, so get there early to snag a prime spot—this is standing room only, and you’ll want to dance your heart out. And remember, this isn’t a gig for the kiddies unless they’ve got the parental unit in tow. Secure your spot now or risk being the only one scrolling Instagram with major FOMO while everyone else is lost in the Elfman enchantment.

This one's for the real heads: clear your calendar for a night with Nina Nastasia, the low-key legend who’s been haunting our playlists since your favorite band's favorite band was still in their garage.

Expect to be enveloped in her haunting melodies and raw lyrical honesty, the kind that feels like a secret passed from one kindred spirit to another. Whether you’re a longtime devotee or just tuning into her frequency, missing this would be like skipping out on that obscure pressing of a vinyl that ends up defining your year. In a scene that can sometimes feel like déjà vu, Nina Nastasia is the real deal—intimate, essential, and utterly unmissable. Get ready to feel the feels in a way you thought you’d outgrown. FOMO doesn’t even begin to cover it.

If you've ever found yourself longing for the haunting embrace of fog-drenched coastlines and the echo of whispered secrets, then Liz Harris, aka Grouper, has just the soundscape for your soul's yearning. Her latest sonic tapestry, Shade, is a 15-year pilgrimage through the Pacific Northwest's moody, mist-laden realms. This album isn't just a collection of songs; it's a delicate map of memory and emotion, enveloping you in a cloak of solitude, beauty, and the raw force of nature. Through tracks recorded in places like Mount Tamalpais and Astoria, Harris invites you to lose yourself in the lyrical ebb and flow of love, loss, and the shadows we all hide within. So grab your headphones and find a quiet corner, because after one listen, you'll be wishing you could press your ear to the earth and hear the coast's secrets for yourself. This isn't just an album—it's an experience that will leave even the most jaded of us yearning for the wild caress of maritime storms and the quiet power of Grouper's hidden language.
