Tickets $25 Advanced / $30 Day of Show
Forrest VanTuyl is a songwriter, touring musician, and working cowboy from rural Washington State. VanTuyl has worked as a backing musician and collaborator with critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Margo Cilker, become a regular fixture at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, shared stages with Sera Cahoone, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, and Corb Lund, and been featured by The New York Times, National Geographic, NPR, and KEXP. VanTuyl’s newest album Old Trails, released in September 2025 on Fossil Records, is peopled with characters just as concerned with the minutiae of feed trucks and fenceposts as with the enormity of their loves and longings. By overstuffing his songs with closely observed details of a modern-day cowboy’s work and life, VanTuyl is consistently able to find the beating heart at the center of his deromanticized American West.
Shadow Basket is an indie folk/rock band from San Juan Island, WA. They have toured through the PNW, West Coast, and Mountain West. Their upcoming album is scheduled to be released in August 2025. Their live performance brings an artfully crafted sound, melded harmonies, and droney jams into the room. Described by The Bay Bridged, “Within their music is connection and care, which makes it all the more compelling.”
