Family Company

THE HOUSE BAND

Family Company is a collective of absolute heavy-hitters. They play deep-pocket funk, soul, and R&B with a tightness that only comes from years of playing together. It’s music for dancing, pure and simple.

WHY WE PICKED THEM

Every festival needs a backbone. We booked Family Company because they bring the professional-grade groove. You can’t stand still at their set.

ARTIST BIO

Buddy Wynkoop

ART-PUNK WEIRDNESS

Named after a character in The Music Man, this Portland band plays twitchy, nervous, highly danceable art-punk. Think Devo or Talking Heads, but with more caffeine.

WHY WE PICKED THEM

We champion the local originals. Buddy Wynkoop captures that specific Portland energy—smart, a little odd, and incredibly fun.

Jonny’s Day Out

EXPERIMENTAL ROCK

Jonny’s Day Out plays breezy, infectious indie rock that feels like the first day of summer. It’s catchy hooks, bright guitars, and good vibes only. The Portland five-piece creates a live experience that never stays still for too long.

WHY WE PICKED THEM

The palate cleanser. We booked them because sometimes you just want to smile. It’s the sonic equivalent of a cold drink on a hot afternoon.

Cosmic Tones Research Trio

INTERGALACTIC JAZZ

Deep grooves, spacey synthesizers, and improvisation that aims for the stratosphere. This is music for the late-night travelers.

WHY WE PICKED THEM

For the deep listeners. We booked them to soundtrack the moments between the moments. It’s the perfect vibe for deep in the night.
