🎤Steph Strings: an Australian singer-songwriter & virtuoso guitarist from Melbourne known for her intricate fingerstyle technique and percussive acoustic style. Her music blends folk, blues, and Celtic influences, drawing comparisons to artists like John Butler and Ziggy Alberts. She released her debut album this past January, Feel Alive.
🎤Mo Lowda & the Humble: an indie rock band from Philadelphia, known for their energetic live shows and progressive songwriting. Meet lead vocalist Jordan Caiola, drummer Shane Woods, and bassist Nate Matulis.
🎤Bayonne: is the stage name of Roger Sellers, an Austin-based musician & composer known for creating dense, hypnotic soundscapes through intricate live looping. He is highly regarded for his high-energy “one-man band” shows where he builds tracks from scratch on stage using loops & overdubbing.
🎤Lucero: an American alternative country and country-punk band from Memphis. Formed in 1998, they are known for a gritty, “Memphisian” sound that blends rock, soul, and country. The band is led by singer and primary songwriter Ben Nichols, whose raspy vocals and storytelling lyrics define their style. Over nearly three decades, they have released 12 studio albums, including fan favorites like Tennessee and 1372 Overton Park, the latter of which famously introduced a horn section to their sound.
Don’t miss Steph Strings at WMF on Saturday, June 20! Known for her unique ability to tell stories through her instrument, Steph’s signature sound fuses intricate fingerstyle guitar, percussive rhythms, and earthy, organic textures with lyrics that balance vulnerability with strength. You definitely won’t want to miss her set!
