The singer/songwriter, Pamela Benton, has assembled an all-star band featuring some of the finest musicians of the Northwest. Experience Benton's newly released originals, familiar favorites and covers with a full-band sound. Classically trained on the violin, Benton's music genres include indie, pop, rock, with an influence of jazz and can be best described as “Norah Jones meets Sting.”

Timeworm is a Spokane-based confluence of musical space-time where indie rock, funk, pop, and psychedelia meet. Timeworm channels the dynamic energy of the Inland Northwest rock scene in live performances while setting themselves apart by delivering catchy melodies in everything from soulful jams to distorted soundscapes. The group joined forces in 2023 and played their first show in January 2024 to a sold-out crowd, inspiring them to bring their infectious sound to more audiences.

Brennen Leigh is an American songwriter, guitar player, mandolin player and singer whose to-the-point storytelling style has elevated her to cult icon status in Europe, Scandinavia, across the United States, South America and the United Kingdom. Awash in full-throttle fiddle, weeping steel guitar, a sprinkling of heavenly backing vocals, and anchored by her warm, expressive vocals, Brennen Leigh’s latest album is an emotion-packed revelation. Rooted in vintage country, Ain’t Through Honky Tonkin’ Yet is an unapologetically beer- and tear-soaked homage to an era when hard-country weepers burst forth from AM transistor radios.
