Under his moniker Orillia, Andrew Marczak follows the long tradition of folk music's more progressive stewards, commanding audiences with his unique bracing tenor and oft-skeletal arrangements. He has toured across the US and Germany and currently resides in Chicago with his partner and collaborator, Peach. His newest record, Fire-Weed, features songs from all ends of the indie rock spectrum. On it, the listener is greeted by lo-fi tape hiss-saturated oddities and full-band studio ballads recorded with a team of Chicago superstars including Peach, Local Memory and George Rezek (of Nashville’s Future Crib).
Orillia has received praise and airplay from NPR's Great American Folk Show, Holler Country, The Chicago Tribune, and radio stations across the U.S., Canada, and Germany. He has shared stages with acts like Dylan Earl, Elizabeth Moen, Country Westerns, and hemlock. In 2024, his alt-country band Toadvine performed at Spencer Tweedy's Avrom Farm Fest alongside acts like dehd and Hannah Frances.
2025 brought big things for Orillia, including a 30-day duo tour across the US, a 4-day tour in Germany (including a sold out show in Helmbrechts), and a packed full-band Vinyl Release Show in Chicago at the Hideout for his newest record Fire-Weed, a record which charted #11 for Top Adds on the NACC College Radio Charts in its release week and debuted at #130 on the NACC Top 200.

Nat Myers is a Kentucky country-blues and roots musician. His home is in Kenton county.
Nat’s debut album, Yellow Peril, produced by Dan Auerbach and released with Easy Eye Sound, is filled with jumping blues songs,
while also paying homage to his folk roots as well.
One can tell Nat is running from some danger, but also running toward something harder to define. Full of intelligence and soul, contradiction and nuance, and steeped in his love for history and poetry, Yellow Peril reached #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts. His record remains relevant since its 2023 release.

Born in 2017 in the heart of Lafayette, Indiana, Velocity District is more than a band—it’s a sonic collision of worlds. When musicians from punk, rock, jazz, and classical backgrounds converge, the result is a sound that defies boundaries and expectations.
Neo-soul may be their foundation, but Velocity District thrives on reinvention. From the gritty edge of grunge to the brass-soaked streets of New Orleans, from Mardi Gras rhythms to the irresistible pull of funk and the soul-stirring warmth of R&B, every note is crafted to move your feet and ignite your spirit.

Bobcat Opossum is a tune slinging, harmony singing duo from the back alleys of the Midwestern wilderness. They’ve picked through the field and around the campfires for the tastiest folk songs and fiddle tunes in all the land. They have trod the rugged roads of Irish and Old Time American traditional music and have lived to tell the tales.
Liv LaFluv is a midwestern cutiepie music maker. She reaches into an imperfect world and spins beautiful yarns full of adventure, heartbreak, humor, and hopeful promise. Her voice draws you in with its effortless dynamic range. She is a deep breath of fresh air, with a fire in her belly and a twinkle in her eye! Watch out!

Detroit's Libby DeCamp debuts at People's Brewing Company on Tuesday March 3rd! Deep-diving, time-tracing, cinematic folk blues ramblings from this super talented singer-songwriter! Local Noelle Voglewede opens up the show!
Doors 5pm / Music pm / $15.59 in advance all fees included

Libby DeCamp is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Detroit, MI. Her songs evoke the spirit of roots music from bygone eras, drawing inspiration from prewar blues, old-time string bands, early R&B, and country western. With one foot in the past and an eye on the future, Libby is a writer who tugs at the ageless thread of truth-telling and communal spirit through song, and tramps into continuous new territories- even at times bordering the mystical and psychedelic. Her lyrical edge and sweet, bluesy, un-prettied voice come from the gut and create something delightfully rare- whether solo with guitar in hand, or in the full picture of her band’s unique string and groove-centered alchemy.
