BILLY STOOPS & THE DIRT ANGELS
-------------------------------------
"Stoops is a world-class, alt-country, Americana poet." Polly O'Keary, Washington Blues Society
Born and raised in Louisville, KY, Americana singer, songwriter, and guitarist Billy Stoops has called the Pacific Northwest home for over four decades.
The energetic and charismatic front man was named “Entertainer of the Year” and “Best Male Vocalist” by the Washington Blues Society, while his distinctive guitar style on both electric and acoustic along with his groove-oriented songwriting garnered him a Tacoma Music Award for "Male Performer of the Year".
His band, Billy Stoops & the Dirt Angels, features the tight and driving rhythm section of bassist Barbra Blue and drummer Trevor Cutler, with the incomparable Troy Moss on lead guitar. Billy’s long-time music partner Leanne Trevalyan, with her spot-on harmony and tasteful percussion is the icing on the cake.
Stoops 2024 release “Bad Decisions” - the long awaited follow up to his acclaimed 2021 acoustic based recording “Wolf Moon”, features Stoops’ rich, soulful vocals and poignant lyrics on 10 all-original, pure-D, roots rockin’ tunes. “Stoops is a world class, alt-country, Americana poet.” Polly O’Keary, Washington Blues Society
Stoops is also a founding member of the popular swamp/roots band Junkyard Jane, a group with a briefcase full of accolades that has released eight CD’s of original music in their 25+ year tenure.
A former president of the Wichita Blues Society, Billy served on the Board of Directors for LMIA (Louisville Music Association), MERF (Musicians Emergency Resource Foundation), and the Tacoma Music Awards Committee. He is currently in his 27th year as Emcee of the semiannual “Sunbanks Festival”, and was promoted to Director of Festivals in 2001.
His other past and present festival involvement includes production coordinator for the “Untapped Brews and Blues Festival”, co-producer and emcee for the “Tacoma Jazz and Blues Festival”, talent coordinator and board member of the “Leavenworth Music Festival”, emcee and talent coordinator for “Moonfest”, and emcee and co-director of the “Emerald City Music Fest”.
And if all that’s not enough - the Reverend Billy Stoops is a wedding officiant and has performed over 35 unique and interesting ceremonies since 1999.
A proud father and grandfather, Billy’s hobbies include cycling, cooking, and most of all hanging out in Sayulita, Mexico where his kids and grandchildren live.

— Thomas Edison Music Awards (NY)
Sirsy is singer-songwriter rock duo with a charming intensity and lots of heart. Sirsy is fronted by a charismatic singer-songwriter named Mel - who's also on drums, piano, flute and melodica. Mel's incredible voice and passionate delivery immediately draw you in. (AND she also plays bass on a keyboard while she's rocking the drums at the same time). Mel's bandmate, husband, co-writer, & bestie is Rich - who masterfully plays a well-loved and road worn Rickenbacker through a pedal board full of vintage effects. (Live, he also plays bass on a pedal board with his feet!) These 2 multi-instrumentalists manage to sound like a full band and somehow do it all with big smiles on their faces.
Sirsy's live shows are filled with honest, intimate, storytelling that is an art all to itself. They wow crowds at 200+ shows/year all over the US. Sometimes even with their nerdy jokes.
Sirsy's warmed stages for: Grace Potter, Brandi Carlile, Train, Maroon 5, Collective Soul, Cheap Trick, Patty Smyth, Lifehouse, Spindoctors, Blues Traveler, and many more. Their songs have been featured on HBO, PBS, MTV, NPR, and on Showtime's hit TV show "Shameless". Their last few records were produced by Grammy-Winner Paul Q Kolderie. Come celebrate life with them!
"SIRSY is your favorite band, you just don’t know it yet."
— Rochester City Newspaper
“Clever, smart songs that have more hooks than a tackle box. Krahmer has one of the most powerful and flexible voices you’ll ever hear.” — Times Union (Albany, NY)
“It’s pretty clear to see that these two have remarkable souls. The stories shared and the honesty about life are remarkably endearing and a lost art.” — Andy O’ Riley, 100.9 FM/98.9 FM (MI)
SIRSY is NOT simply a two piece, they are a head scratching, WOW! The guitar player is flawless and raw. Clean enough to be enjoyed, and just edgy enough to make you grin. The lead singer/drummer/bass player was stunning. — SXSW Music Blog (Austin, TX)

THE COLIN TRIO
-------------------------------------
The Colin Trio
Less of a trio and more of a triple-headed hydra roving through an alluring array of genre-blending styles, The Colin Trio is anything but typical.
Named after lead singer, guitarist, pianist, Colin Hogan, listeners would be hard-pressed to name any specific member of the trio as lead.
Whether it’s Colin’s knack for slipping in and out of musical eras, or bassist Brian Link’s adeptness with any groove, or drummer Cheo Larcombe’s ability to start at the flick of a match, watching The Colin Trio perform live is akin to three improvisational masters besting one another at every turn between a cavalcade of rock, soul, jazz, funk and the blues.
Their modest 2016 debut LP, Tightening The Wire, was followed up with a pair of Live Rye Room Session performances, welcoming trumpet player John Dover and showcasing their more delicate and meticulous side. Their 2020 release, Live from Under the Brim, captured two sizzling nights of music performed for a captivated audience.
