But within those\, Donato has carved out a unique and individualized spot for himself\, one that speaks to the deep American music heritage that inspires him — and that he’s pushing towards the future with inspired\, intentional vigor. \n\n\n\nHe calls it Cosmic Country\, a moniker that’s both self-descriptive and a statement of purpose. It’s an organic rock band aesthetic with plenty of roadhouse twang; a showcase for Donato’s instrumental virtuosity and facility for melodically infectious songcraft. Bridging Nashville and the Great West\, Kentucky and mid-60s northern California\, tie-dye and plaid\, it’s a world of his own\, and a wide world of musical adventure at that. \n\n\n\nWhile growing up in Nashville his his father\, who turned his young son on to music of all genres\, suggested the fledgling and industriously minded (even at just 14) artist start busking in Nashville’s lower Broadway area and outside concerts\, for eight hours at a time on the weekends. One night\, the two happened by Robert’s Western World where legendary honky-tonk local mainstay the Don Kelly Band were performing. Donato eventually became a member of the band\, playing four hours a night at Robert’s (464 shows in total). \n\n\n\nHorizons is the follow up to 2023’s Reflector\, which received critical acclaim from a wide range of press\, including No Depression\, Glide Magazine\, Magnet Magazine\, and more. Donato the subject of features in Rolling Stone\, UPROXX\, Garden & Gun and Relix. Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country made their network television debut on CBS Saturday Morning and appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic online series. \n\n\n\nThe whole package of player\, singer\, writer and band leader was in place. Three albums in\, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country\, featuring Nathan “Sugarlegg” Aronowitz (keyboards/guitars/vocals)\, Will “Mustang” McGee (bass/vocals) and Will “Bronco” Clark (drums\, percussion/vocals) are selling out venues throughout the country and bringing their brand of Cosmic Country to an ever growing\, passionate fanbase.

From heartfelt journeys of love and friendship to bold explorations in remote corners of the world\, the films capture the joy\, humor\, and resilience that define life in the backcountry. Audiences will be transported from the rugged peaks of Alaska to the rolling green mountains of Vermont\, from the avalanche terrain of Montana to the icy expanses of Antarctica. Along the way\, they’ll encounter skiers\, riders\, and conservationists whose passion for winter fuels both adventure and advocacy. \n\n\n\nThe festival is more than just a showcase of adrenaline and powder shots—it’s a celebration of community\, creativity\, and stewardship. These films remind us that winter is not only a season but a shared experience\, one that calls us to protect the places we love while finding joy in the challenges they present. Whether it’s redefining access\, weaving art and science together\, or simply chasing turns with friends\, the stories on screen reflect the diverse and vibrant culture of human-powered winter recreation. \n\n\n\nJoin Wild Montana and Winter Wildlands Alliance at the Wilma Theater in Missoula for an unforgettable evening of cinematic adventure. Come for the films\, stay for the stoke\, and leave inspired to embrace winter in all its wild beauty.

SUMMARY:Big Richard & Della Mae - Double Album Release Tour at The Wilma
DESCRIPTION:Logjam Presents welcomes Big Richard & Della Mae for a live Double Album Release performance at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula on Thursday\, February 12\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\nLogjam Presents welcomes Big Richard & Della Mae for a live Double Album Release performance at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula on Thursday\, February 12. \n\n\n\nTickets are on sale at Logjam Presents Box Offices and online while supplies last. All tickets are general admission standing room only. All ages are welcome. \n\n\n\nTake a look at these tips to best prepare yourself for a smooth ticket buying experience. \n\n\n\nAdditional ticketing and venue information can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Big RichardSince exploding onto the Colorado scene in 2021\, the four women of the supergroup Big Richard have been on a wild ride. Although they showed up to their first gig armed with homemade puff paint t-shirts\, a load of crass jokes\, and all dressed intentionally like Stevie Nicks\, from the first few notes of their tight vocal harmonies\, dazzling string virtuosity\, and clever arrangements\, no one had any choice but to take them seriously. \n\n\n\n Determined to be more than a one-night stand\, Big Richard hit the road. They slapped as hard as possible on the festival circuit\, worked up their stamina on nationwide headlining tours\, and left a wake of die-hard Big Richard Heads across the country swooning for their honest songwriting\, chilling vocals\, and fiddle-driven barn-burners. \n\n\n\nFueled by a steady diet of gas station snacks\, Big Richard is currently touring their debut full-length studio album Girl Dinner\, following a whirlwind year that included performances on PBS’ the Cavern Sessions\, NPR’s World Cafe\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival\, Delfest\, Bourbon and Beyond\, Jam Cruise\, and New Year’s Eve at the Ryman in Nashville. \n\n\n\nThey often refer to themselves as the gremlins of the bluegrass world\, and the gremlins are: platinum recording artist Bonnie Sims\, who rips the mandolin and smells like Willie Nelson’s sock drawer; road dog Eve Panning\, who toured extensively with the fiddle band Barrage and has trained her dog to murder on command; bassist Hazel Royer\, plucked from the sidewalk in front of Berklee\, can probably communicate with crows; and Dr. Joy Adams\, who would just rather be skiing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Della MaeThe GRAMMY-nominated string band was founded in 2010 and over the next decade and a half they’ve demonstrated to the roots music world\, once and for all\, that a band of all women is not\, nor has ever been\, a mere novelty. They remain at the forefront of the explosion of women instrumentalists and all-women acts in roots music and their impact is striking and measurable – not just in North America\, but around the globe. \n\n\n\nNow 15 years since their origin\, Della Mae can boast their strongest lineup yet. Founders Kimber Ludiker and Celia Woodsmith are joined by guitarist and songwriter Avril Smith and vocalist and three-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year Vickie Vaughn.

SUMMARY:Pub Sing with Lake Missoula Old Time at Western Cider
DESCRIPTION:Join Lake Missoula Old Time for an a’capella community Pub Sing session at Western Cider from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm the 3rd Sunday each month\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin LMOT and Friends for a Pub Sing at our favorite local pub: Western Cider!This is a beginner-friendly collaborative singing gathering. \n\n\n\nPub Sing is a casual “singing jam” of sorts (not a performance!). A wide variety of songs are welcome\, but ones with catchy choruses\, call and response\, or that are generally “sing-along-able” work best. We take turns leading songs\, and everyone joins in on the chorus or other repeated parts. It’s also totally fine to just sing along! You don’t have to lead a song if you don’t want to. \n\n\n\nTraditional songs\, folk songs\, sea chanties\, etc. are all great genres to draw from. We sing a cappella\, so no instruments are needed. \n\n\n\nFeel free to bring print outs of lyrics to share 🙂We hope you’ll join us!

He’s not interested in telling the rest of us what to do or think. But he is charting out a personal guide for his life\, quieting the noise\, and sitting with his real voice – the one that’s candid\, consistent\, and often inconvenient. \n\n\n\n“We’re Only Human” is Carll’s tenth album. Like his best lyrics\, it is also an understated masterpiece\, an honest snapshot of one man’s confrontation and delight with humanity’s biggest and most intimate questions. Where do we find forgiveness for ourselves and grace for others? How do we hold on to peace of mind and stay present? What can we—and should we––trust? And how can we moor ourselves to\, well\, ourselves\, in the midst of confusing\, trying times? We’re Only Human offers audiences the chance to listen to Carll as he listens to himself. \n\n\n\n“I’ve lived outside of myself for so long\,” Carll admits. “Distractions\, fear\, anxiety\, insecurity\, and the complexity of being human in this world have so often pulled me away from being present or at peace.” \n\n\n\n“I feel like there’s been a voice riding shotgun all my life\, pushing me to do better\, but I’ve struggled to listen to it\,” Carll says. “The idea behind this record was to do the personal work I needed to do\, then codify those lessons in song to serve as sort of breadcrumbs to get me back on the trail if\, and inevitably when\, I get lost again.” \n\n\n\nCarll is more than two decades into a celebrated career. Praise from places such as Pitchfork and the New York Times––the latter of which yoked Carll’s ability to tackle tough issues with wry humor to Bob Dylan––punctuate a resume that includes Americana Music Awards and a Grammy nomination. His songs aren’t safe\, but many of Nashville’s stars have recorded them\, including Kenny Chesney\, Lee Ann Womack\, and Brothers Osborne. As a solo recording artist\, Carll has long-since established himself as one of Americana’s most-played––and most loved––voices. His warm but crackling vocals\, wit\, and heart dance through wordplay that’s always clever\, and never too precious. Through it all\, whenever Carll points a finger\, it’s most often at himself. \n\n\n\nAs We’re Only Human collects moments of Carll figuring out how to be with himself\, the songs feel forthright\, hopeful\, and timely. In today’s onslaught of instant gratification\, rage-baiting headlines\, glorified intolerance\, and falling empathy\, the record is a startling outlier: an artist’s raw\, real-life effort to live well—both with himself and others. Carll embraces private epiphanies\, and shares them with the world\, allowing them to unfold for all to see and share. \n\n\n\nOf course\, We’re Only Human is also art. So while appreciating the motivation and compelling themes driving it will underpin the listener’s experience\, Carll’s album also matters because of the sheer brilliance of its execution. These are songs composed by a writer’s writer\, wielding his considerable skill with precision and beauty. \n\n\n\nThe album’s title track unfolds with plaintive piano and a mantle of grace. Carll sings\, with a calming sincerity\, “We’ll do most anything to avoid the pain / Hiding our hearts and casting the blame / 6\,000 tongues\, but we’re all the same / Ain’t no need to carry that shame / ‘Cause we’re only human.” \n\n\n\nHard-won minutes of quiet clarity inspired some of the record’s most beautiful moments. Accented by bright mandolin and soft\, simple percussion\, “Stay Here a While” captures a peaceful reprieve from a racing mind. “I remember sitting on the couch\, looking out the window\, watching the birds do their thing\,” Carll says with a laugh. “I got lost in their lives for a moment\, and it was such a wonderful feeling because my mind is always going in circles\, seeking excitement\, and frankly\, just thinking about myself. I enjoyed the peace I felt in that moment and I thought\, this is lovely and I’d like to stay in this place.” Carll shared that takeaway with MC Taylor\, aka Hiss Golden Messenger\, who not only could relate\, but helped finish the song. \n\n\n\n“High” offers another invitation to stop and breathe. Opening with a solo horn\, flute\, and stripped down piano\, the track is lovely and sincere\, with Carll’s signature humor hovering comfortably nearby. There are also times when Carll’s sharp wit comes roaring to the foreground. “Progress of Man (Bitcoin and Cattle)” sends up society’s disorienting––and conflicting––forces\, while “Good People (Thank Me)” is a masterclass in comedic timing\, stubborn humanism\, and the untapped potential of gratitude. \n\n\n\nA dogged insistence on acceptance\, both of one’s self and others\, courses through the album— as does Carll’s determination to hold himself accountable. “If I’m judging others\, then I’m not having to look at myself\,” Carll says. “I’m flawed as hell\, judgmental\, and critical of myself and those around me. That’s a loop that feeds itself. But I figure If I can look at myself clear-eyed and acknowledge my own shortcomings\, it might help me have some grace and acceptance for myself and others.” \n\n\n\nIt’s that sort of harmonious duality––embracing one’s self and confessing one’s own mistakes––that solidifies the record’s big-hearted honesty. “The creative process was in large part a self-therapy session. I don’t think that would work if I was only looking at everyone else’s issues\,” Carll says. \n\n\n\nA moving series of grounding vignettes\, realizations\, and self-love roll through “What I Will Be\,” as Carll promises to not compromise himself to fit in. A slow-burning\, blues-tinged standout\, “I Got Away with It” is painful and gorgeous. Brimming with hope\, “One Day” balances the work Carll sees as necessary with the certainty that satisfaction\, contentment\, and peace are reachable by trusting in yourself and the universe. \n\n\n\nFeaturing a parade of Carll’s longtime friends\, album closer “May I Never” is a plea to himself. As Ray Wylie Hubbard\, Shovels & Rope\, Darrell Scott\, Nicole Atkins\, and The Band of Heathens’ Gordy Quist and Ed Jurdi each take verses\, listeners are swept up in a resolute promise to keep after good. “It brings up a lot for me when I hear them singing those lines\,” Carll says. Each of those people – whether they know it or not – have played a part in my story\, and it’s gratifying and humbling to me to have them lend their voices to this song.” \n\n\n\nIn the end\, Carll’s latest album is a lovingly and purposefully written collection of reminders. “I hope other people find something in it\, too” Carll says. “Through it all\, I am trying to stay appreciative\, knowing that I did what I set out to do: write something that can help me navigate this journey with a little more grace and peace.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Ryan MontbleauA relentless road warrior and masterful wordsmith\, Ryan Montbleau has spent the better part of thirty years cultivating a devoted audience on the strength of his ecstatic live shows and exhilarating sonic versatility. He’s collaborated with artists as diverse as Trombone Shorty\, Galactic\, Steel Pulse\, Tall Heights\, Martin Sexton\, Anders Osborne\, and George Porter\, Jr; shared bills with the likes of Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Ani DiFranco\, Todd Snider\, The Wood Brothers\, Rodrigo y Gabriela\, and Mavis Staples; and racked up more than 150 million streams on Spotify alone. NPR’s Mountain Stage compared his “eloquent\, soulful songwriting” to Bill Withers and James Taylor\, while Relix celebrated his “poetic Americana\,” and The Boston Herald raved that “he’s made a career of confident\, danceable positivity.” \n\n\n\nMontbleau’s freewheeling new album finds him exploring the full spectrum of his influences like never before\, touching on folk\, rock\, funk\, soul\, hip-hop\, and reggae\, all with a preternatural ease that belies the intensely focused craftsmanship behind it. The songs are sprawling and unpredictable\, grappling with a modern world perpetually teetering on the edge of chaos\, but the performances are relentlessly optimistic\, insisting on hope and joy in the face of it all. The result is Montbleau’s most vulnerable and cathartic work yet\, an album that acknowledges the inevitability of doubt and pain while at the same time celebrating our limitless capacity for growth and love.

SUMMARY:Magic City Hippies w/ Supertaste at The Top Hat
DESCRIPTION:Logjam Presents welcomes Magic City Hippies for a live performance with Supertaste at the Top Hat in Downtown Missoula at 8:00 pm Tuesday\, February 17\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\nLogjam Presents welcomes Magic City Hippies for a live performance with Supertaste at the Top Hat in Downtown Missoula at 8:00 pm Tuesday\, February 17. \n\n\n\nTickets on sale at Logjam Presents Box Offices and online while supplies last. All tickets are general admission standing room only with limited bench seating. All ages are welcome. \n\n\n\nTake a look at these tips to best prepare yourself for a smooth ticket buying experience. \n\n\n\nAdditional ticketing and venue information can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Magic City HippiesMagic City Hippies have carved out a distinct place in the indie landscape\, blending Miami’s sun-soaked swagger with infectious funk\, psych-pop\, and danceable grooves. What began as the Robby Hunter Band evolved in 2015 with the release of Magic City Hippies\, the album that gave the trio its name and solidified a sound both laid-back and relentlessly kinetic. \n\n\n\nSince then\, the band has built a reputation for genre-fluid songwriting and high-energy performances\, earning spots at major festivals including Bonnaroo\, Austin City Limits\, and Lollapalooza. Their early Hippie Castle EP (2015) introduced their signature mix of poolside melodies and weekend-ready rhythms. Modern Animal (2019) expanded that palette with a deeper\, beachside sensibility\, while Water Your Garden (2022) served as a psychedelic post-pandemic celebration of connection and self-expression. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, the band returned with a run of stylistically diverse singles\, from the disco-funk of “Givin’ Up On Lovin’” (featuring NoMBe) to the acid-house-tinged psych-pop of “I Can’t Let You Go”\, culminating in Enemies (2025)\, a groove-centered breakup album full of emotionally charged\, rhythm-driven tracks. Marrying an indie-rock punch with nostalgic\, synth-forward textures\, Enemies reflects a group willing to evolve without losing the essence of their sound. \n\n\n\nThough their recordings have drawn both critical and fan acclaim\, Magic City Hippies are best known for their live shows: sweaty\, exuberant\, and effortlessly engaging. Their ability to convert casual listeners into loyal fans is no accident\, it’s the result of years of relentless touring\, musical chemistry\, and an unapologetic commitment to making every show feel like a celebration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout SupertasteSupertaste’s debut album “Supernova” is some of the most disco-forward sonics and ambitious thematics from the band to date. The record’s journey pulls you on a cosmic flight path from takeoff\, to deep space flight\, to a breakthrough back into the earth’s atmosphere. \n\n\n\nThrough yearly retreats to a cabin in Tennessee to hone in their sound\, Brooklyn-based Supertaste has developed a colossal atmosphere of sparkling synths\, Chic-inspired guitar riffs\, and unforgettable hooks. \n\n\n\nWhether you run into them late night at a bodega ordering sandwiches or on-stage performing\, you’ll always be met with a smile. \n\n\n\nThe Supertaste Cinematic Universe only continues to expand. Expect some big moments and bigger jams.

SUMMARY:Atmosphere Winter Carnival Tour with Sage Francis\, R.A. the Rugged Man\, Kool Keith and Mr. Dibbs at The Wilma

The Rugged Man\, Kool Keith\, and Mr. Dibbs at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula at 7:00 pm Wednesday\, February 18\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 6:00 pm \n\n\n\nLogjam Presents welcomes Atmosphere for a live concert performance on their 2026 Winter Carnival Tour with Sage Francis\, R.A. The Rugged Man\, Kool Keith\, and Mr. Dibbs at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula at 7:00 pm Wednesday\, February 18. \n\n\n\nTickets on sale at Logjam Presents Box Offices and online while supplies last. All tickets are general admission standing room only. All ages are welcome. \n\n\n\nTake a look at these tips to best prepare yourself for a smooth ticket buying experience. \n\n\n\nAdditional ticketing and venue information can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout AtmosphereFor over two decades\, Atmosphere has maintained a course of rigorous output\, releasing over two dozen studio albums\, EP’s and collaborative side projects in as many years. In that time\, the venerated duo have built a legacy out of bringing honesty\, humility and vulnerability to the forefront of their music\, continually challenging themselves to evolve without straying too far from their roots. Slug has proven masterful at storytelling and writing compelling narratives\, leaving a trail of his own influence while paying homage to the rappers and songwriters that helped shape him. Ant has skillfully molded the soundtracks with inspiration from soul\, funk\, rock\, reggae\, and the wizardry of hip-hop’s pioneering DJ’s and producers\, creating his own trademark sounds while providing the pulse for songs about life\, love\, stress and setbacks. At its essence\, Atmosphere has been a musical shepherd\, and with each new album comes a new journey as they guide generations of listeners through this thing called life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Sage FrancisSage Francis is a forefather of the indie rap movement\, the CEO of Strange Famous Records\, and is widely considered one of our generation’s greatest lyricists. His career derives mainly from gifted wordplay which creates vivid narratives to instigate as well as inspire. There’s a lot more to it\, but who has time for all that during times like these? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout R.A. the Rugged ManR.A. The Rugged Man is one of the most fascinating figures in hip-hop history. His career spans decades\, and defies simple narratives. The Rugged Man has been an up-and-coming star\, an industry outcast banished and forgotten\, an underground cult hero\, an independent success story\, and an influential master of the art form. He can obliterate rappers with ferocious battle rhymes\, craft heartfelt personal songs fans can relate to\, offend sensitive listeners with shocking vulgarity\, challenge corrupt politicians and corporations\, paint pictures with captivating storytelling\, and deliver jaw-dropping flows that prove his lyrical skills are unmatched. He’s also worked with a staggering number of hip-hop’s most respected artists\, including legends like The Notorious B.I.G.\, Wu-Tang\, Tech N9ne\, Rakim\, Mobb Deep\, Talib Kweli\, Kool G Rap\, Public Enemy\, Brother Ali\, and many more. And while others struggle to maintain a foothold in the ever-changing rap landscape\, R.A. The Rugged Man is the rare artist who has become more relevant with time\, with each new album more compelling than the last. \n\n\n\nOriginally from Long Island’s Suffolk County\, R.A. was raised by his father\, a Vietnam veteran whose exposure to Agent Orange left two of R.A.’s siblings with severe disabilities. After building a reputation as one of the most talented unsigned MCs on the scene\, he sparked a bidding war between several major labels. R.A. eventually signed to Jive Records\, but his outspoken defiance and reckless behavior spelled the end of that deal and left him banned from venues\, labels\, and recording studios. The Rugged Man re-emerged in the late 90s\, pioneering the indie rap hustle by pressing up his own 12” singles and contributing to compilations from the celebrated Rawkus Records. He earned a Gold record for his work on the WWE Aggression album\, and his music was featured on the video game Tony Hawk’s Underground\, which sold millions of copies. \n\n\n\nR.A. then unleashed his seminal independent album Die\, Rugged Man\, Die\, along with the critically acclaimed compilation Legendary Classics. The latter included show-stealing collaborations and many of the storied tracks that fueled his rise\, including the Jedi Mind Tricks song “Uncommon Valor”\, on which the Rugged Man delivers what is widely recognized as one of the greatest verses in rap history. R.A. has also made his mark in journalism and film. He’s interviewed Academy Award winning filmmakers and world boxing champions for outlets like Complex and Vibe\, and worked as a screenwriter and director\, notably writing and producing the cult classic Bad Biology. By the time his last album Legends Never Die debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart\, R.A. was thoroughly established as an independent hip-hop icon\, playing sold-out shows across the world and drawing widespread praise for his undeniable contributions to the culture. \n\n\n\nNow\, R.A. The Rugged Man is back with All My Heroes Are Dead\, a brand new album that stands as his best work to date. “So many of the greats are gone\, and the legends who made it out alive are cast aside\,” R.A. says. “Society left our heroes and their culture for dead. We have to dig that greatness out of its grave\, and bring it back with an angry vengeance.” While Legends Never Die was dedicated to the memory of his father\, All My Heroes Are Dead is R.A.’s first album since becoming a father of two himself. “When you have children\, that’s a whole other level of joy and pain and emotion\,” he describes. “It opens whole entire universes with the pen.” The music covers a wide range of moods\, and transcends hip-hop cliches. “I didn’t want to make a whole album of just destroying rappers and rapping better than everyone.” the Rugged Man explains. “There’s a lot of places my albums take you\, and there’s way more storytelling on this one. I love to bring listeners into different worlds.” Now available worldwide\, All My Heroes Are Dead features an all-star cast of hip-hop heavyweights\, including Chuck D\, Slug of Atmosphere\, Ghostface Killah\, Immortal Technique\, Vinnie Paz\, Ice-T\, M.O.P.\, Kool G Rap\, DJ Jazzy Jeff\, Onyx\, Brand Nubian\, Chris Rivers\, Inspectah Deck\, A-F-R-O\, Masta Killa\, and more. The highly-anticipated album showcases the full scope of R.A. The Rugged Man’s considerable talent\, making it a powerful statement from an unforgettable artist. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kool KeithAfter single-handedly redefining “warped” as the mind and mouth behind the Bronx-based Ultramagnetic MC’s\, Keith Thornton — aka Kool Keith\, Big Willie Smith\, Dr. Octagon\, Dr. Dooom\, and Tashan Dorrsett\, among other personas — headed for the outer reaches of the stratosphere with a variety of solo projects. Keith’s lyrical thematics remained as free-flowing here as they ever were with the N.Y.C. trio\, connecting up complex meters with fierce\, layers-deep metaphors and veiled criticisms of those who “water down the sound that comes from the ghetto.” His own debut single\, “Earth People” by Dr. Octagon\, was quietly released in late 1995 on the San Francisco-based Bulk Recordings\, and the track spread like wildfire through the hip-hop underground\, as did the subsequent self-titled full-length released the following year. \n\n\n\nDr. OctagonecologystFeaturing internationally renowned DJ Q-Bert (of Invisibl Skratch Piklz) on turntables\, as well as the Automator and DJ Shadow behind the boards\, Dr. Octagon’s left-field fusion of sound collage\, fierce turntable work\, and bizarre\, impressionistic rapping found audiences in the most unlikely of places\, from hardcore hip-hop heads to jaded rock critics. Although a somewhat sophomoric preoccupation with body parts and scatology tended to dominate the album\, Keith’s complex weave of associations and shifting references is quite often amazing in its intricacy. The record found its way to the U.K.-based abstract hip-hop imprint Mo’Wax (for whom Shadow also recorded) in mid-1996\, and was licensed by the label for European release. Mo’Wax also released a DJ-friendly instrumental version of the album titled\, appropriately\, The Instrumentalyst.First Come\, First Served \n\n\n\nThe widespread popularity of the album eventually landed Keith at DreamWorks in 1997. The label gave Dr. Octagon (retitled Dr. Octagonecologyst) its third release mid-year\, adding a number of bonus cuts. In early 1999\, however\, Keith’s alter ego Dr. Dooom unfortunately “killed off” Dr. Octagon on the opening track of First Come\, First Served (released on Thornton’s own Funky Ass label). Kool Keith signed to Ruffhouse/MCA for his second album under that alias\, 1999’s Black Elvis/Lost in Space. Records released as Kool Keith followed in 2000 (Matthew) and 2001 (Spankmaster)\, while the 2002 collaboration Gene appeared as KHM (Kool Keith plus H-Bomb and Marc Live). His next project was a four-rapper group named Thee Undatakerz with Keith taking on a new persona\, Reverend Tom. Kool Keith Presents Thee Undatakerz hit the streets in May 2004. Keeping busy\, Keith released Diesel Truckers in August of the same year with old friend/producer KutMasta Kurt.Official Space Tape \n\n\n\nAs if 2004 hadn’t been filled with enough Kool Keith releases\, some truly oddball ones started to appear that year. The Official Space Tape borrowed from previous releases to create the ultimate Keith mixtape; the R&B-leaning Personal Album was released in a limited edition of 500 and with a high price tag; plus the Real Talk label issued Dr. Octagon\, Pt. 2\, an unauthorized release that had little to do with the original and was quickly pulled from the shelves by court order. The next year was much calmer\, with the Global Enlightenment\, Pt. 1 DVD released at the beginning of the year\, followed by Lost Masters\, Vol. 2 in the summer. Nogatco Rd. from 2006 introduced a new character\, Mr. Nogatco (“Octagon” backwards). The UFO-obsessed album was a collaboration with producer Iz-Real. The two-CD Collabs Tape compilation and The Return of Dr. Octagon followed soon after.The Best Kept Secret \n\n\n\nIn early 2007\, Keith was part of an Ultramagnetic MC’s reunion that yielded Best Kept Secret. Tashan Dorrsett\, another concept-driven release from Keith\, was released in 2009 with the remix album The Legend of Tashan Dorrsett following in 2011. His 2012 album\, Love and Danger\, hinted at retirement with songs like “Goodbye Rap\,” but he was still in business in 2013\, making a guest appearance on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album Mosquito. In 2015 he collaborated with L’Orange and received co-billing with the producer on their album Time? Astonishing! He also collaborated with Ray West for an album titled A Couple of Slices\, which was released as a standard LP as well as a limited deluxe edition packaged in a pizza box with a bonus 7″ and cassette. A third Tashan Dorrsett album\, The Preacher\, as well as Feature Magnetic\, which featured guest appearances by MF Doom\, Godfather Don\, Sadat X\, and others\, arrived in 2016. Keith revived Dr. Octagon two years later with Moosebumps: An Exploration into Modern Day Horripilation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Mr. DibbsBrad Forste\,better known as Mr. Dibbs\, is a DJ and hip hop producer. The founder of the turntablist collective 1200 Hobos\, he has also appeared on numerous underground hip hop records as producer or DJ as well as releasing a number of solo works. \n\n\n\nBorn in Cincinnati\, Ohio\, Forste was introduced to DJing around 1985\, when he saw Grandmaster Flash performing on the syndicated light news/entertainment show PM Magazine\, but “didn’t really understand what he did”. \n\n\n\nAfter watching an MTV broadcast of Grand Mixer DXT performing with Herbie Hancock on the latter’s 1980 single “Rockit”\, he learned the hand motions and began to learn scratching himself. He estimates that he spent six months “getting the hang of” scratching\, subsequently spending two years “cutting and scratching to whatever was on TV” to practice. \n\n\n\nDibbs formed his own turntablist crew\, the 1200 Hobos\, in the early 1990s. The crew’s rotating line-up has included Buck 65\, Adeem\, Sixtoo\, Doseone\, Jel\, DJ Abilities\, Adverse\, and DJ Signify among others\, and at its largest numbered 23 members. \n\n\n\nThey have released two mixtapes.In addition to the 1200 Hobos\, Mr. Dibbs has also been on-off touring DJ for Minneapolis hip hop group Atmosphere (though never an official member) and\, with anticon.’s Doseone and Jel\, a member of the group Presage\, who released one album\, Outer Perimeter\, in 1998. \n\n\n\nMr. Dibbs’ “Turntable Hardcore” series of releases was notable for its genre-straddling approach\, blending a wide variety of styles along with more usual hip hop turntablism.In 1996\, Forste teamed up with graffiti magazine Scribble to put on the first Scribble Jam event as a promotion for the magazine’s launch. \n\n\n\nThe event has since become America’s largest hip hop festival\, with separate competitions for rapping\, DJing\, graffiti\, b-boying and beatboxing; its past participants and guests have included such names as Eminem\, Big Daddy Kane\, Masta Ace\, Juice\, Prince Paul\, Hi-Tek\, Rhymefest\, Sage Francis\, El-P\, Cage\, Doseone\, Atmosphere\, Buck 65 and Mr. \n\n\n\nDibbs himself.Mr. Dibbs is the founder and owner of his own label\, Self Core Records.Mr. Dibbs is now the tour DJ for rapper El-P.

Her sound\, characterized by lush future textures and atmospheric layers\, draws heavily from her roots in funk and soul. These influences meld with deep melodic bass frequencies and innovative synth designs\, creating a unique sonic space within the electro-soul and bass music communities. Coming up in the Denver scene from 2011 and newly a Los Angeles resident\, Maddy has carved out her distinct niche\, infusing her productions with a signature blend of soulful melodies\, driving basslines\, and glitchy hip-hop rhythms. \n\n\n\nAs a self-taught producer and DJ with a creatively charged background\, Maddy’s live performances are dynamic and immersive. She crafts a narrative journey through her sets\, mixing original compositions with drum pad sequences and diverse tracks ranging from gritty\, low-end bangers to shimmering\, mid-tempo vocal bass and head-nodding disco beats. Her relentless touring schedule\, boasting numerous shows annually for the past five years\, Maddy showcases her unstoppable momentum and ability to energize audiences nationwide. \n\n\n\nMaddy’s discography includes standout tracks like “Zest Please\,” a collaboration with CloZee that garnered over 4 million Spotify plays. Her impressive body of work also features two full length LP’s – “Ricochet” released in 2023 which really began her ascent into the stratosphere and Vital Signs in 2024 which gained credits by publications like billboard and forbes. Her most recent and heaviest EP to date “Creatures Of My Mind” EP showcase Maddy O’Neal’s dynamic range\, sound design and genre-blending prowess. Her extensive catalogue features a discography full soulful\, funky bass music with elements of future bass\, hip-hop\, and electronic vibes.  \n\n\n\nMaddy O’Neal has graced the stages of major festivals including Coachella\, Lollapalooza\, Electric Forest\, Bonnaroo\, Red Rocks (x5)\, to name a few. She has toured with and supported renowned artists such as Pretty Lights\, Griz\, Clozee\, LSDream\, Daily Bread\, Of The Trees\, Big Gigantic\, Liquid Stranger and more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout ArtifaktsArtifakts is the multimedia undertaking of Garret Meyer that blurs the line between electronic genres. An ever-evolving artist\, Artifakts established his project in 2011 and has been able to break out of the confines of modern electronic music while also contributing to the project both sonically and visually. Landing noteworthy shows across the country with a wide array of both live and DJ sets\, this producer has shown his belonging among the ranks of seasoned beat makers. \n\n\n\nSince 2012 Artifakts has worked with a plethora of renown musicians\, labels and producers both musically and in design to provide a unique catalog of music and art very much rooted in the indie-electronic community. While toting a discography frequently favorited by study/relax playlists\, an Artifakts performance is anything but stringent in style\, often showcasing genres from current bass music to classic grooves\, rap flips\, and anything in between.
