**Grady Philip Drugg** began writing music as a teenager, forming several short-lived bands while attending high school in the rolling hills of Canyon Lake, Texas. Like many other recent high school graduates of the time, Grady decided to skip town and join a Midwest-based fourth wave emo band. Grammer (that band) would eventually record the Awesome Knifes EP in 2014, with Grady pulling double-duty on bass and sound engineering. The band toured the much-loved record across the South and Midwest for two years before permanently disbanding. Shortly after Grammer called it quits, Drugg started post-rock project Importer/Exporter with former bandmate Dakota Jones. The band released a handful of shortplays and toured their sole full-length record, Breathing Techniques, extensively across the United States and Canada. The band is currently on hiatus as of 2018. In the years since, Drugg has maintained laser focus on their developing their skills as a hired gun, touring and recording with artists (and dear friends) such as folk singer-songwriter Willi Carlisle, Arkansas-based crooner Dylan Earl, Seattle lullaby rock outfit Ings, and Springfield darlings Dreamgirl. **Cooper Kenward** As we continue through the crisis of existence, it’s easy to turn away from each other and into the abyss of solitude and digital overwhelm. Distractions abound and it’s harder than ever to stay present, to see the shape of the day or the first flourishes of a new season. What does it mean to be a person, right now? For L.A.–based songwriter and instrumentalist Cooper Kenward, being present means staying curious. Paying close attention to the tiny details allows the absurdity of the world and its inhabitants to unfurl; for Kenward, this means an abundance of inspiration, awe and hilarity. On his latest album haha, now I’m sad, Kenward pokes at this absurdity, creating characters, scenes and stories that feel universal and true. We’ve all met these people or have been them at some point; by recognising this omnipresent thread of existence, haha, now I’m sad helps us to see the silliness in the sorrow. **Harry Katz and the Pistachios** Harry Katz and the Pistachios combine elements of Garage Rock, Soul, Original R&B, and Roots Rock n Roll to make a unique sound all their own. If you’ve never been to a Pistachios show, it’s hard to explain the feeling of community, the exuberance, the wild abandon and the powerful songwriting on display each and every time. This band will remind you why you love to go out and see live music. **Veronica Bianqui** A triple threat as a vocal powerhouse, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Veronica Bianqui channels the raw energy of garage rock with the passion of classic soul and R&B, all packaged with catchy pop hooks -picture the quirky vibes of early B-52s meeting the indie-pop sensibilities of The Strokes. Most recently, she is featured on "Wasting Your Time" by Mickey Avalon, produced by Jesse Hughes of Eagles of Death Metal. She has toured as a member of several LA-based bands across the U.S. and Europe. Her past gigs include supporting Kula Shaker in September 2023 at The Regent theater in LA as well as shared bills with Mikal Cronin, The Coathangers, Dead Sara, The Warlocks, Capital Cities, and many other mainstays of the vibrant Los Angeles music scene.
