Based in Oakland, California, the band brings their high-energy show to venues, festivals, and private events all across the San Francisco Bay Area.​ With vocals, guitar, bass, keyboard, and drums, Guilty Pleasures recreates the sound and spirit of icons like Blondie, Pat Benatar, the Pretenders, Joan Jett, and Stevie Nicks. Their performances blend spot-on musicianship with the flair and attitude of the decade’s most influential female rockers.  The setlists are packed with the hits fans know and love, along with deeper cuts that keep every show fresh and surprising.

The Columbus, OH producer titled his new album Visions Out of Limelight in honor of his comfortable place in the underground and his "self-imposed exile" at work on the tracks. For his latest instrumental LP, the producer found inspiration in sources that can be taken for granted by less-discerning listeners. Thanks to time at home with his son, RJD2 was completely immersed in the TV theme songs of the '70s, '80s, and '90s. "I realized how incredibly composed and skillfully complex many of them were. These songs contained a few core tenets: a great groove, a great chord change, a strong melody, and a concise time frame," he says. "It made me realize how hard it is to make instrumental music with a melody that's as memorable as a lead vocal." The producer was also determined to build tracks around interesting basslines, inspired by classic parts in Dr. Dre's "Deep Cover," KMD's "Black Bastards," and [Diamond D example]. It was a deliberate change from the chord-centric compositions in post-millennial hip-hop and funk. It became a "mini-mission" for the producer to make a modern album that puts the bass in the forefront of the songs. Both approaches align on single "Catch The Exit Door," as electric bass percolates up and down the neck under wah-wah guitars and horns straight out of a syndicated cop drama. "Through It All" features crooning from English vocalist Jamie Lidell, pondering his existence over piano stabs and a steady breakbeat. Frequent collaborator Jordan Brown flexes his paranoid android falsetto to fit the loose groove of "Fools at the Haul" with robotic precision. Some songs were recorded with li less

The recording, entitled We Are Not The Headliner , captures the very heart of Quarteto Americanos, a sonic universe in which Latin roots converge with the worlds of jazz, classical, and hip-hop. It’s a deeply personal sound built on the art of dialogue – a steady, soulful conversation between friends who share a common bond with complete freedom and humility. It’s a musical landscape both sophisticated and authentically grounded. Omar Sosa is a Cuban-born pianist, composer, and bandleader whose musical horizons span world jazz, Cuban, Caribbean, Latin American, European, and African traditions. Over a three-decade career including some 38 recordings, Sosa has gained a devoted following, while garnering numerous commissions and residencies, Rockefeller Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts support, the Smithsonian Lifetime Achievement Award, two BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards, four Grammy nominations, and three Latin Grammy nominations. Sosa’s creative trajectory embodies the expansive perspective of a visionary artist who has taken Monk’s uncompromising attitude to heart. Rooted in Afro-Cuban percussive, dance, and spiritual traditions, intimately versed in a range of contemporary musical forms, but defying easy labels, Sosa’s finely textured compositions and ensemble leadership complement, engage with, and amplify the animating talent of his collaborators through a va less

Comprised of multi-instrumentalists Amber Navran, Max Bryk, and Andris Mattson, the Los Angeles-based band blends velvety vocals, intricate horn arrangements, jazz-rooted harmony, and forward-thinking production into a signature sound that’s as intimate as it is expansive. At the core of Moonchild’s creative magic is their uniquely fluid, ego-free collaboration. All three are songwriters, producers, and instrumentalists, and songs often pass between them digitally until the right arrangement emerges. “Our process is about serving the song,” says Max. “We trust each other so much creatively.” That trust has empowered the band to evolve with every release, taking more risks in songwriting, production, and lyrical vulnerability. Now, with their upcoming album Waves, Moonchild enters a bold new chapter. A deeply personal and emotionally raw project, Waves explores themes of grief, healing, resilience, and self-worth, eschewing the love songs that once dominated their catalog. “This album is about processing loss and stepping into your power,” says Amber. “It’s a lyrical departure, but it reflects what I’ve been going through these past few years.” less

Orquesta Akokán burst onto the global music scene in 2018 with their no-holds-barred 21st century take on the venerable Cuban mambo lit up stages around the world with a fierce and unremitting joy. Chulo Records producer and multi instrumentalist Jacob Plasse , and arranger Michael Eckroth joined forces with a carefully curated selection of Havana’s most extraordinary musicians as Orquesta Akokán, polishing Cuban mambo’s golden sound to a luminous, contemporary sheen. Along the way Orquesta Akokán imbued these legendary Cuban grooves with a renewed vitality and powerful sense of akokán ---the Yoruba word used by Cubans to mean “from the heart” or “soul. Orquesta Akokán’s eponymous 2018 debut riffed on Cuba’s golden grooves from the 1940s and 1950s with fresh style and panache. In contrast, 2021’s 16 Rayos pushed the envelope of the classic mambo by coloring it with an edgy variety of rhythms and styles. These years were marked by widespread critical acclaim, intense world-wide touring, and a multitude of awards for Orquesta Akokán: Billboard Latin Music Award, Telemundo Latin American Music Award, Songlines Music Awards, and a Grammy nomination. “The groove is so infectious that if this doesn't get your foot tapping, you may be dead.” - NPR Website | Facebook | Instagram DANCE FLOOR/STANDING AREA OPEN!

Zola Jesus aka Nika is an American born singer, songwriter and producer. Since 2008, she has released two EPs and seven full-length albums majoratively on NY multi-decade tastemaker label Sacred Bones. Nika began training as an opera singer at the age of 10. She dismantled that training to deliver her breakthrough lo-fi record The Spoils in 2009, most of which she recorded as an undergrad in her dorm room at UW Madison. On the release of her follow EP, Stridulum , NME declared her “goth’s new figurehead”. A few years later, The LA Times described her as, “a focused, serious creator with a solid aesthetic, breathtaking musical vocabulary and a confident vision.” Both publications turned out to be right. Her unmissable voice cuts through the fascia of reality. In the last fifteen years, Nika has created a catalog of music which shall forever remain in the lexicon of alternative music of the 21st century. She will be in the textbooks as a genre defining artist of this generation, who served as a template for all of modern goth and by proxy, much of SoundCloud rap, amongst many other things. She has already collaborated with: David Lynch, Big Dean Hurley, David Byrne, Jean Claude Vannier, Johnny Jewel, Run the Jewels, JG Thirlwell, The Orbital, Flood, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, and Jim Jarmusch. She has appeared on Jools Holland, Conan O’Brien w/ El-P, the cover of the Fader, and recently, in Architectural Digest, for her self-designed home, in the woods of northern Wisconsin.

Jeff Parker is a guitarist and composer known for his genre-defying work as a solo artist, with his group The New Breed, as part of the legendary band Tortoise. His music in the last decade has ranged from the jazz-informed psychedelic beat music song cycle Suite For Max Brown to the delicate improvisational solo guitar of Forfolks. He has made music with everyone from jaimie branch to Tom Zé to Flea. ETA IVtet is an improvising ensemble led by Parker. The band—featuring drummer Jay Bellerose , bassist Anna Butterss , and saxophonist Josh Johnson —grew out of a weekly residency started by Parker in 2016 at the now defunct Highland Park Los Angeles venue ETA. By the time the venue closed its doors in 2023 the IVtet had evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form (sometimes stretching out for 45 minutes or more) journeys into innovative, often uncharted territories of groove-oriented, painterly, polyrhythmic, minimalist and mantric improvised music. The band’s audience simultaneously grew from a low key weekly hang mostly populated by friends and regulars, to a high-buzz event with a line of fresh faces stretching down the block each Monday. Part laboratory, part low-stakes proving ground, ETA is where the musical language of the IVtet percolated and coalesced into an instantly recognizable, egalitarian group sound. The sum of four distinct and equal voices, that sound was initially captured on two critically-acclaimed records recorded live in the club’s humble corner—2022’s Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy and 2024’s The Way Out of Easy . Happy Today , out May 2026 on International Anthem and Nonesuch Records, is the IVtet’s latest album. Its soun less

The twelve tunes here open uncanny depths of expression as Bill continues to blaze one of the most original songwriting-and-performance trails out there. With My Days of 58, he applies the living, breathing energies of his live shows to the studio process, sharpening his slice-of-life portraiture to cut deeper than ever before. The core musicians featured on My Days of 58 is the group that toured for 2022’s REALITY: guitarist Matt Kinsey, saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi and drummer Jim White, whose synergy was evident in 2024’s live Resuscitate!. This showed Bill, as he puts it, “that they could handle anything I threw at them,” adding: “Improv/unpredictability/the unknown is the thing that keeps me motivated to keep making music. It’s all about listening to yourself and others. A lot of the best parts of a recording are the mistakes—making them into strengths, using them as springboards into something human.” less

The Freight’s old store front location on San Pablo Ave. marked the very first of the thousands of shows he'd play in California. In September 1968, Bill accepted an offer to play bass with High Country, at the time a duo of Butch Waller and Mylos Sonka. A guitarist, Bill had never played bass before, but hey, how hard could it be? Hard enough, it turned out. So his career as a bass player was unanimously decreed over. One and done.
