LIVE MUSIC LINEUP
Saturday, August 16th
Mercury Coast
Eric and Molly Sappington first formed the duo Mercury 27 years ago after moving from the Midwest to the Oregon Coast. Between 1999 and 2008, they released an EP and two full-length records.
The Dead Lines
The Dead Lines are a mystery wrapped in a conundrum and gently folded into an enigma. A secret enclave of coastal musicians come together to form a one-time supergroup show to support music education. Purveyors of ill ass yacht rap, they emerge in the middle of summer to remind us how to have a good time.
Nik Xandir Wolf
Writer, lyricist, and tomfool, Nik is multitalented. He originally manifested at the 2025 Rockaway Writers Rendezvous and has taken his poetry to new levels by creating his own genre of surf cowboy hip hop. We're putting together a backing band so Nik will be performing his hits as a live band performance!
Mitch Whitaker
To listen to Mitch's music is to hear songs of experience: on existential loneliness; on rejected identity; on grief and a crisis of faith—to listen to Mitch's music is to hear songs on the pretense of greenwashed capitalism; on the pervasiveness of white supremacy; on the trauma of gun violence.
Glitterfox
Glitterfox doesn't chase the algorithm — they follow instinct, community, and a kind of magia (Basque for magic). Formed by longtime creative partners Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker, the Portland-based band has built their career the analog way: a van, a map, and unforgettable shows stitched across towns like constellations.
Typhoon
Typhoon is an American indie rock band that originated in Salem, Oregon, and is now based in Portland. Known for their orchestral arrangements and big-hearted indie rock anthems, Typhoon's sound often incorporates a traditional rock setup complemented by brass, strings, and auxiliary percussion.
