In Los Angeles, where the weight and pressure of the city’s fast paced culture can make your legs feel like pillars, emerges psychedelic quartet, Levitation Room, to break the bonds of gravity with their cosmic wall of sound and thought provoking lyrics. “Just as their name suggests, Levitation Room’s music instills the listeners ears with a light feeling of floating. The dreamy guitar and Lo-Fi projections of psychedelic rock and garage are reminiscent of a deep 1960’s era, but still grounded in an alternative dreamgaze flavor that permeates modern indie music today.” - OC Weekly. Their decidedly hallucinogenic songs whisper and hum the same gentle refrain of their summer of love influences, conjuring up the cognitive imagery of sunny days at the park, spent with friends in a euphoric haze along with lyrical and sonic meditations on life, love, society and self-awareness.

Katie Pearlman says what women think but are too afraid to say out loud. With the release of her latest EP “Fumbling Towards Glory” Pearlman explores themes of femininity, defiance, and intuition, set to a lush soundscape that mixes elements of 90’s, folk, and alternative.

An LA native who spent her formative years performing music and studying philosophy in New Orleans, it was New Orleans that awoke the performer in her soul; learning piano and guitar along the way and fronting a live band singing in clubs and at jazz festivals. After returning home from college, Pearlman found success as a songwriter penning Grammy-nominated songs for Kelly Clarkson, Grace Potter, and others. She has also lent her vocals to artists like Gryffin, Dijon, and Lukas Graham.

Pushing the boundaries with both her music and lifestyle, Katie found inspiration in the community she created after moving to Taos, New Mexico, and in the divine feminine energy from influences such as Patti Smith, Joni Mitchell, and Alanis Morissette. “I follow the cosmic feeling,” says Katie. “I’m designing my own life. I want to grow. And I want to make people feel less alone. A pioneer on the journey of coming home to yourself, Katie Pearlman is following her magic.

Katie will be joined by Susy Sun and Francesca Blanchard.

Elf Freedom is the musical and artistic collaboration between Nora Keyes and Bee Appleseed. Using elves as an archetype for the human nature spirit that exists across cultures around the world, the intention of the project is to help people feel more connected to nature through music and create sonic experiences which transcend the stresses of everyday life. Concerts range between more delicate soundbath performances where audiences lie down on the floor to louder rock performances, occasionally featuring multiple guests. Given the improvised nature of the concerts, that no songs are written beforehand nor repeated afterward, the audio from every show is always recorded and archived for later release. Audiences are likely to feel elevated, connected, and transformed during this unique listening experience as the group takes listeners on a musical journey like no other. Elf Freedom is a phenomenon that must be experienced to be believed. It is a band, it is a political movement, and it is certainly a force of nature.

Conjuring a mysterious brew of folk, psychedelia, world music, and progressive rock, Immaterial Possession are a group from Athens, Georgia whose music takes listeners into a world all their own.

Maria Taylor is a singer-songwriter from Birmingham, Alabama, currently residing in Los Angeles California, known for her solo career and as a member of the duo Azure Ray with Orenda Fink. Taylor is a multi-instrumentalist who has collaborated with artists such as Bright Eyes, Phoebe Bridgers, Michael Stipe of REM, Daniel Johnston, and Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows.

Taylor began her career in the band Little Red Rocket, signing to Geffen at just 16 years old, before forming the indie-dream pop dup Azure Ray in the early 2000s. Azure Ray gained recognition with their debut self-titled album, with songs featured in films and TV shows, most notably the song “Sleep,” a favorite of Taylor Swift. After meeting the band in Athens, Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst invited the band on tour and introduced them to Saddle Creek where Azure Ray ultimately released four albums and three EPs. During that time, Taylor also lent her voice, piano and drumming skills to numerous Bright Eyes records.

Maria announced her solo career in 2005 – a change that would pave the way for five critically acclaimed albums and collaborations. Across 8 LPs, Taylor’s critically acclaimed solo work includiesher debut “11:11” which included “Song Beneath the Song” which has appeared multiple times on television including Grey’s Anatomy, through 2017’s “In the Next Life” which included the single “If Only” featuring long time collaborator Conor Oberst, appearing in NBC’s “This Is Us.”

Most recently Taylor and Fink reconnected to release Azure Ray’s first full length record in 6 years, scored music for a Hallmark series, performed with Daniel Johnston during his final tour, appeared on several Phoebe Bridgers’ songs (covers of John Prine "Summer's End” and "Funny Feeling" by Bo Burnham) and on multiple tracks from Bright Eyes' 2022 Companion reissue series. She joined the band as their drummer during Bright Eyes' 2023 world tour of the United States, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.

In 2024, Taylor began recording her yet-to-be titled 9th solo album with producers Mike Mogis (Brights Eyes, BoyGenius) at ARC Studios in Omaha , Brad Armstrong, and Ben Brodin (First Aid Kit), with arrangements by Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes, Red Hot Chili Peppers). The album is currently in production, with plans for a 2025 release.
