About STS9

With an ethos rooted in exploration, STS9 has been a sonic pioneer for two decades. Using electronic and acoustic means, the instrumental five-piece—comprised of Hunter Brown (guitar/programming), Jeffree Lerner (percussion), David Phipps (keyboards), Zach Velmer (drums), and

Alana Rocklin (bass)—channels the primordial and celestial, producing a cutting-edge sound that has forged a path for multiple generations of electronic dance music.

STS9’s innate sense of innovation is grounded by the group’s desire to forge universal connections. Seamlessly integrating their exploratory and improvisation-based music with a fully immersive light show, each performance is a transcendent celebration of humanity. With the help of the group’s dedicated fanbase, STS9 has performed countless shows nationwide and consistently sells out venues like the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater, where they have played over 30 times. The group has been honored with induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame and earns headlining slots at countless music festivals across the country. The group continues to find ways to build community, consistently spearheading charitable efforts with their own Just Thanks Foundation and founding its own independent record label, 1320 Records.

Having released twelve albums over the last 28 years, STS9’s legacy unfolds into the future with their newest 2025 studio release, Human Dream. These 19 tracks clearly represent the band’s current sound, delving deep into the many facets of music the group is known for. From huge festival bangers, to funk and jazz explorations, intricate drum n bass, and beautiful instrumentals, Human Dream symbolizes the start of sharing music from STS9’s most prolific recording era to date. With more new releases on the horizon, major festival appearances, and a full US tour, STS9 is poised to keep spreading their music and message in 2026 and beyond.

About Dirtwire

Dirtwire stands poised between ancient Mother Earth and modern technology, a blend of ethnomusicology and the psychedelic trance state, gut-bucket delta blues and what the band variously dubs “back-porch space cowboy blues, swamptronica, and electro-twang.” It’s a sound informed by Dirtwire’s travels and performances around the globe, where East meets West and North joins South. From the favelas in Brazil, Femi Kuti’s Shrine in Lagos, Tokyo’s bluegrass clubs, Ayahuasca ceremonies in Central America, Gamelan performances in Bali, desert festivals in the Australian Outback, and the 20th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s modernized new capital Astana, the band spreads its message by building bridges across musical cultures in their own unique way.Dirtwire plays an array of instruments both ancient and modern, including West African kamale ngonis, jaw harps, space fiddles, whamola basses, Rickenbacher electric 12 string guitars, bowed Banjos and mouth harps from around the globe, all interwoven into modern laptop beat creation. Hailing from the underground west coast electronic bass music scene Dirtwire finds itself at the forefront of experimental electronic music production mixing in their wide array of world instruments with sampled beats and 808’s. Dirtwire’s live shows are a communal psychedelic journey, ranging from down home boot stomping get downs, to bass and blues electronic mashups, to ethereal cinematic beat driven soundscapes. Woven into each is the exploration of where live instruments meet computer production, and where tradition meets experimentation.

"Happy Mother's Daze" author Elizabeth Krakow - Reading & Sidewalk Signing at Fact & Fiction
2026-08-27 19:00 - 20:30, 2026-08-29 11:00 - 12:30 | Montana
“Happy Mother’s Daze” author Elizabeth Krakow will be at Fact & Fiction in Downtown Missoula with not one, but two author readings and sidewalk signings at 7:00 pm Thursday, August 27; and at 11:00 am Saturday, August 29

About the Book: Elizabeth Krakow’s Happy Mother’s Daze is a heartfelt memoir that explores the chaotic and miraculous journey of motherhood. Krakow recounts her experiences raising two spirited children while grappling with exhaustion and loss. She writes candidly about her early resistance to marriage and kids, the lingering influence of her mother who died too young, and the comical disasters that defined her family life-from potty training mishaps and runaway toddlers to awkward in-law encounters. At its core, this book celebrates resilience, love, and the transformative power of family. Krakow’s storytelling offers both comfort and comic relief, reminding readers that while parenthood may feel overwhelming, it is also life’s greatest teacher. Happy Mother’s Daze brims with parenting foibles, love stories, and loss stories .. always with an eye for the minor miracles that show God is alive and well in all the details. This is a love letter between generations, exposing how the circles of life can stretch us all out of shape and pull us back together again. It is a celebration of resilience, love, the messy, and the marvelous.About the Author: Liz Krakow is easily mortified and prefers to wear her invisibility cloak most of the time. She writes to try to make sense of life and because it is cheap therapy. She is not now, nor will she ever be, a grown-up. She never intended these words for publication, but her hot hubby—that is how he has programmed himself into her phone so now it’s a well-rehearsed fact—had a bike accident that left him with way too much time on his hands, and he needed a project. She considers the fact that he finally fell in love with her one of her life’s greatest achievements. Thanks go to him, Rog III, Lucy, Meredith, Andrew, and her extended family of friends who inspired these stories and taught her everything she ever wanted to know about love. Liz lives happily ever after on a houseboat in northern California, which rocks her like a cradle daily and has robbed her of all ambition. Names and facts have been tweaked to protect privacy, but these stories really happened.
