The night begins with Breezers, the Los Angeles-based project of Evan apRoberts and Melissa Louise Castellano. Drawing on decades in the West Coast music scene, their songs are shaped by the vastness and romanticism of the natural world. With roots in bands like Tales and the Silver Lining and collaborations alongside folk luminaries like Michael Nau, Joel Jerome, and Kath Bloom, Breezers open the evening with grounded, intimate harmonies that feel windswept and timeless.
Minor Gold (AUS) step onstage and it feels easy - harmonies close and instinctive, guitars chiming and answering each other like old friends. Their songs drift between cosmic country and canyon folk, warm and wide but never overworked. Touring Way to the Sun across the US in 2026, the duo has drawn praise from UNCUT: “Trippy folk wonderment… there’s an alluring telepathy, the way their voices curl around each other, rarely heard since Emmylou Harris rode shotgun with Gram Parsons.”
Los Angeles indie-folk project Swimming Bell, led by Katie Schottland, delivers ethereal melodies, intricate harmonies, and 70s Laurel Canyon atmosphere reimagined for the present. MOJO Magazine writes: “Like folk-era Sharon Van Etten, Meg Baird and Rosali; check Schottland building ‘1988’ and ‘Love Liked You’ to the most elegant crescendos.”
