Kolumbo is a ‘synthedelic’ tropicalia lounge act concept centered upon the stylings of one incredible keyboard wizard named Frank LoCrasto (Cass McCombs, Fruit Bats). As a live 4-piece act, their performances on both U.S. coasts have had an intoxicating effect; smooth sailing on groovy waves of saccharine synth lines are sometimes swept up into a storm of virtuoso-induced vertigo, transporting us to a faraway island of sound and feeling that can only be reached by tuning into the love language of music. Kolumbo’s first full-length offering ‘Sandy Legs’ surfaced in 2024 on the Allah-Las’ imprint Calico Discos to rave reviews.

with support from: Miller Carr
Miller Carr songs slither into your consciousness like peace pipe smoke crawling through the wilderness, imbuing the listener with a bewildering tapestry of musical cultures – but most importantly a sense of purpose. His music and poetry hit with the rare air of asylum seekers; immigrants and bohemians; anarchists and beats. Despite his reverential nods to a bygone era, his music is always in motion: imaginative progressions chugging along as his steely voice serenades the restless spirit in all of us. A native son of Northern California who has become a widely respected artist and raconteur, Miller Carr has toured the U.S. and Spain, and is currently working on his 10th studio album.
For fans of: Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan
