FORREST VANTUYL

Working cowboy, mule packer, and fencepost enthusiast Forrest VanTuyl's music hews closer to the literature of Annie Proulx and Cormac McCarthy than to Marty Robbin's Gunfighter Ballads. Inspired by his time on horseback in the remote corners of eastern Oregon and Washington, Forrest's songs are redolent with carefully crafted details of rural life in the West, speaking of the taciturn men and women who work this land of beauty, raising and herding cattle through landscapes that would be inhospitable to most agricultural crops. There’s a kind of deep pride to this work that unites folks who live this far from the mainstream, and Forrest is one of the few songwriters who can truly express it. In addition to touring extensively in Margo Cilker's band, Forrest is a regular performer at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, has played with Sera Cahoone, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, and Corb Lund, and been featured by The New York Times, National Geographic, NPR, and KEXP.

SHADOW BASKET

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.”
