Igor Yuzov was born in Germany, raised in Ukraine and studied in Russia. He grew up in the former Soviet Union, where folk music was the norm and rock’n’roll was illegal. A rebellious streak, led him to seek out the forbidden music. As soon as it became possible, Igor left Russia for America with his “Folk’n’Roll” band Limpopo, and was personally greeted by Ronald Reagan. In 1993, Limpopo won Ed McMahon’s Star Search and their popularity began to blossom. In 1995, Igor dreamed that Elvis Presley came to him and told him to start playing rock’n’roll. Igor and his Russian friends became Red Elvises and gave street performances on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. As their crowds grew larger, the City of Santa Monica ordered them to discontinue their street performances. Evolving over the years, Igor’s music has been labeled “Siberian Surf Rock” which contains humorous lyrics and grooves that forces his audience to dance. Over the past 20 years, Red Elvises have constantly toured all over the world with occasional breaks to record new music and to participate in film and television projects.
As an independent band, Red Elvises have produced 12 studio albums, two live albums, a live concert DVD, and a Greatest Hits compilation.

Rhys Langston is a rapper and multi-instrumentalist born, raised, and based in Los Angeles, CA. Live in concert and recorded, his works are available in high-definition stereo and full-frontal honesty. As a performer he combines rap, singing, live beat effects, stand-up comedy, and avant-garde poetry into masterful, self-aware spectacles (cue the eye rolls). As a recording artist, he largely self-produces, expertly engineering every facet of his music. Within his releases, his songs' concepts and sounds can range from crooning ballads about a failed relationship funneled through depressed jitters of caffeine to anthemic, 808-heavy take-downs of environmental racism (as a few light examples).
Consequently, he has earned kind nods from the New York Times, the LA Times, SPIN, AFROPUNK, DJ Booth, HipHopDX, HYPEBEAST, Bandcamp, STEREOGUM, and others.
He remains the poet laureate of his living room, and has a higher vertical leap than your favorite rapper.

The Garden State Gargoyle, Fatboi Sharif, is an American avant-garde Hip-Hop artist that is looking to take over the globe with his abstract lyricism, spine-chilling soundscapes, illuminating intensity, and his million-dollar smile. It is either the highest level or nothing for Sharif when it comes to putting out projects and performing on stage. He treats the live show as a spiritual experience where Sharif takes the crowd on a phenomenon in which a person perceives the world as if from a location outside their physical body. By the closing track he tells the crowd to involve themselves in a call & response that simply repeats “MY FAMILY!” because by the end of his set he’s grown a connection with the crowd that could only equate with that of your family.
Different channels of inspiration are always a must. Inspired by Sun Ra, Parliament Funkadelic, Alice Coltrane, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Ultramagnetic MC’s, Freestyle Fellowship, Cannibal Ox, Rob Zombie, Pig Destroyer just to name a few. Fatboi keeps constant inspiration around him to push the limit. If not, he’s better off without it. Sharif has studied all genre-pushing works of music, film, and literature. His debut “Ape Twin” from 2017 was re-released on vinyl, via Needle to the Groove, with exclusive bonus tracks only available on wax. The reason Sharif can re-release a project from 2017 in 2025 is because his sound is evergreen. Fatboi Sharif is one of the most charismatic and embracing individuals you’ll have the pleasure of meeting. The Garden State Gargoyle of Elaborate Literature Challenging the Unknown.
Ready Steady Soul Club: 20th Anniversary Soul Night

Ready Steady Soul Club: 20th Anniversary Weekender Info | Facebook
Ready Steady Soul Club hosts local dance parties spinning ‘60s soul and R&B records at 45rpm
20 years of lo-fi stompers & hip-shaking floor fillers
Ready Steady Soul Club was born one winter evening in 2006 when Aaron, Joe, Ian and Michele met up at The Vet's Club to discuss our next move after a couple soul & reggae nights at Tiny Tavern, hosted by Top Dead Center Scooter Club. Music was provided by Smile'n Joey and Aaron from Portland.
The talent
In the beginning it was Smile'n Joey, Aaron (PDX) and Ian spinning soul & reggae. Then over the next couple years Donovan, Aaron (Eug) and Joe joined in. Soon Geoff came on board. The newest member is Adam from SoCal.
Today's RSSC crew: Joe, Aaron, Geoff, Adam + dozens of special guests over the years!
It's about the music
A couple years prior to the founding of Ready Steady Soul Club, TDC hosted DJs and fellow scooterists Marc Muller and Mike Chrietzberg of Emerald City Flying Monkey's in Seattle to spin records at the annual May Day scooter rally in Eugene. TDC members were also attending the annual High Rollers scooter rally in Las Vegas, where DJs from the UK and California were spinning '60's soul & reggae. Soon Muller and Chrietzberg started Emerald City Soul Club in Seattle. The Eugene crew followed in 2006.
Dirty Grass Players
9pm $12 Adv. / $15 Door 21+
Get ready for an unforgettable night of high-energy bluegrass as Dirty Grass Players bring their progressive sound to Blairally on July 23rd. Known for their explosive musicianship, improvisational spirit, and seamless blend of traditional bluegrass roots with modern influences, the band delivers a live performance that's both powerful and unpredictable. Whether you're a longtime bluegrass fan or simply love great live music, this is a show you won't want to miss. Secure your tickets early and experience one of the most exciting acts on today's jamgrass scene!
————————
With a nod to the past and a wink to the future from behind their sunglasses, Baltimore's The Dirty Grass Players have been pushing the leading edge of bluegrass music since 2015. As convincing on a 10-minute jam as they are on a 2-minute classic, they find an intersection between progress and tradition that in one set could inspire Flatt & Scruggs to reunite and then break up all over again. With harmonies to please any purist, compositions fresh enough to have been written tomorrow, and improvisations that fearlessly stride to the end of every limb, this band can play as clean as anybody but isn't afraid to get a little dirty.
After starting with jams between founders Ben Kolakowski (guitar) and Ryan Rogers (mandolin), DGP quickly made a name in the Baltimore scene before hitting the road. Since then, they've toured the US and Europe and made appearances at festivals like Grey Fox, DelFest, Dark Star Jubilee, ROMP, Bristol Rhythm & Roots, and the Rotterdam Bluegrass Festival. With Connor Murray on bass since 2021 and the addition of Sam Guthridge on banjo in 2024, a reinvigorated lineup is on the road and coming your way.
With two albums and a slew of singles, their latest full-length, “Shiny Side Up”, was produced by Travelin' McCoury's guitarist Cody Kilby and reveals a band probing the possibilities of bluegrass with dark themes and adventurous playing. In its praise of the album, Bluegrass Unlimited says, “Shiny Side Up validates the arrival of the Dirty Grass Players onto the scene and shows bluegrass is in good hands going forward." Their first single with the new lineup, a cover of “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” by Jimi Hendrix, reimagines the rock classic with a driving bluegrass arrangement which makes a compelling argument that sometimes looking to the roots is the most inventive approach a band can take.

Lead songwriter Abigail Cosio crafts songs that unfold like vignettes—emotional, witty, with a hint of the macabre.
Bon Bon Vivant's music is, at its core, a celebration of life in all its messy, beautiful contradictions. Their songs revel in the joys of existence while acknowledging the ever-present specter of loss, a balance deeply embedded in the ethos of New Orleans itself. The band's performances carry this philosophy forward, transforming venues into communal gatherings where revelry and reflection can coexist.
Bon Bon Vivant is proving that it’s more than possible to exist beyond any one label or set of expectations. They are musicians, storytellers, and enthusiastic ambassadors of a city that embraces contradiction and complexity — and they invite you to join in the dance.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the scene or just looking for an intense night of live music, Punx Prom delivers one of the most energetic shows of the season.
————————
The notion of comfort is antithetical to the art of Blacktracks. Hailing from the moody landscapes of Spokane, Washington, the duo has made a habit of trading in the hard-to-grasp currency of emotional evisceration. Their songs exist as tributaries that flow through dark corridors of human vulnerability. Yet, it’s precisely this unyielding journey through emotional complexity that has garnered the duo a committed following, while making them an enigma of sorts in the alternative music scene.
Our exclusive chat with the band reveals an intense preoccupation with the ways in which pain shapes the human condition—a thematic epicenter around which orbits their latest single, “Witches,” an affecting follow-up to their last year’s “Casual Drugs.” While the interview will be presented in full below, it’s pertinent to highlight that lyricist Jake Jerome sees the new track as a narrative continuum of its predecessor. “Witches,” he remarks, is “an ode to the fragile fragments of ourselves we lay before the altar of the infernal priestess.”
The track is more than just a song; it’s an experiential immersion into a disquieting dreamscape, one colored by Jerome’s poetic spoken-word lyricism and intensified by Ben Hoagland’s hauntingly potent instrumentation.
Together, they’ve fashioned a sound that is almost tactile in its rawness, blurring the lines between music and emotional venting. “It’s about losing touch with reality and being under the visceral spell of your own stupor,” says Jerome.

ROT//WOVEN plays crusty anarcho-punk with a healthy addition of melodic hardcore punk in the mix, creating an impassioned sound of indignation. Vocals range from all-out raging screams to a more traditional gravely punk delivery, with lyrical content including topics like abortion and women’s rights, human and animal liberation, and a big middle finger to the pigs.

Ladybird | Temple Grandin | Bike Fight
Ladybird's songs have a sense of casual comfort to them. Everyone you've ever met is inside these songs, though the names and the places change—the feeling they evoke is familiar. The details may be specific to the songwriter, but there's a universal connectivity.
The saying goes that on every block in the Midwest, there's one bar and one church. If you tie one on too tight, you don't have far to go to find a place that's supposed to forgive you for all your sinning. The songs of Milwaukee-based Ladybird live somewhere on that block—on the long, cold walk between the high times at the tavern with your friends and the shadow of the steeple that reminds you of tomorrow's responsibilities and yesterday's mistakes. The band's sophomore album, Clementine, is out now.
What stands out in the canon of the songs that make up Clementine is the kindness to the characters. There’s a forgiveness and a grace that comes from a place of experience. It’s the same grace granted with the silent smile from a grandparent or an uncle when you’re trying to convince them you’ve got it all figured out. They know that you don’t, and only they know how tough it gets when you figure that out, too—but you know they’ll be there for you the next time.
Ladybird has built a story of grit and determination since its inception in 2021. They've toured the country and played some good shows and some really not good shows. They've connected with their hometown in such a way that they've played some of the city's most historic and treasured venues. As the band has evolved, the goals have stayed the same: make good records to be proud of and that would make the place you come from proud, get in the van and play those songs to as many people who will listen, and remain grateful for the opportunity.
The Ladybird universe is a family affair, albeit a drunken backyard extended family reunion type of family affair. The drinks are cold, and everyone's got a story to tell. Pull up a chair and listen in.
