Expanding on their love of American R&B, The Resolectrics are a rock & soul power trio exploring the vast landscapes of roots music with layered harmonies, multi-tonal guitar tracks, and ambitious arrangements. Since releasing their “Booker T. meets The Band” debut record, High Water, guitarist Tate Peterson, drummer John Becher, and bassist Bob Dunham have honed a leaner, meaner approach through continuous gigging and constant refinement. The band’s latest record, Open Seas, adds some timeless, British Invasion-style psychedelia to the mix along with a touch of horns and harmonica that help reconnect the music to its soul-based heritage.

Ford released her debut EP, Bobbypin Graveyard, in 2016, followed by her debut full-length, Sugarcane, in 2019. She and Sallie released their first album together, a country album as The Barbaras, in late 2022; Weezy’s partner, Mark Robertson, who records much of her music, mixed and provided backing vocals.
“We definitely grew up listening to a lot of classic country, like Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams,” she says. “Sallie had this idea of wanting to make country music, and so we had one song that we co-wrote together at first, and then it sort of evolved from there.”
https://lolasauvageot.bandcamp.com/album/lanimale
Lola Sauvageot is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and performer. With her smooth, languid voice, she sings of intimacy, our relationship with nature, and love, set to a pop-rock sound infused with psychedelic guitars and shoegaze influences. Somewhere between Courtney Barnett and Julia Jacklin, she nevertheless writes in French. Her first EP, L’Animale, was released in the spring of 2025.

With what PopMatters describes as “tenacious swagger,” critically-acclaimed solo artist Ashleigh Flynn recently dialed up the volume and debuted an all-female rock band as a nod to the “Rosie the Riveter” archetype from WWII.
Flynn grew up in Kentucky and cut her teeth on local bluegrass music and Motown. A prolific songwriter and performer blessed with unbridled charisma, she arrived on the Americana scene in 2008 with the release of her third LP, American Dream, a poetic lament to the elusiveness of that national ethos. A Million Stars followed in 2013 – a rollicking journey celebrating the women pioneers of the American West.
Ashleigh Flynn & The Riveters’ inaugural LP hit the streets in 2018 featuring a sound that hearkens back to early Stones, ‘70s psychedelic country rock, and alternately charms like a Sunday afternoon front porch session…

Josh Cole has been playing bluegrass in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years. It started in the late 90s, when he first heard “Midnight Moonlight” from Old and In the Way. That moment forever bonded Josh to bluegrass music.
He went on to serve as President of the Oregon Bluegrass Association and continues to host “Music From the True Vine” on KBOO-FM, the longest running bluegrass show West of the Mississippi.
Josh’s influences include Ralph Stanley, Larry Sparks, and Bill Monroe, many of whom are featured on the Josh Cole Bluegrass Show, his podcast with nearly 200 episodes of traditional bluegrass recordings.
Josh has played in dozens of bands, along with running his own hard-driving bluegrass band for nearly two decades. That’s why hometown fans have lovingly nicknamed him “The Elvis of Portland Bluegrass.”

Event Details
Wes Youssi is a singer & songwriter of country music. Though originally hailing from the woods of Boone County, Illinois, he’s called Oregon home since 1995. In his short life of 38 some odd years he has: bused tables in Indiana, punched a man in the face, been laid-off, married, made kids, lived in Detroit, ate a cockroach, shot down a tree, and unknowingly purchased a former cop car.
With his original songs and loyal companions he: plays bars, sweats hard, and meets all kinds of great people along the way to which he is eternally grateful.
On Tin Corazón wandering bass, keening pedal steel, martial percussion forms a foundation over which Delgado’s dusky vocals glide like swallows greeting twilight. It is flecked with post-punk grit, drenched in reverb and mesquite smoke. Dubbed “Dark Desert Swoon”, Tin Corazón is expansive, haunting, and undeniably engaging.
The tale of Delgado begins at age twenty, our native New Mexican newly arrived in Chicago with $20 in his pocket, a Fender Mustang, and couches to surf. He cut his teeth playing solo acoustic shows in the best of the worst bars, from sleazy dives to the back room of a filthy taqueria in Wicker Park. After building a hard-won career playing in shoegaze and punk bands around the Chicago scene and touring regionally, it was soon once again time to head the call of the wandering spirit. Delgado recalls, “I gave myself until I was 33 years old to try and build a career as a musician in Chicago. After that, I figured that it was time to cut my losses.”
Delgado headed east, attending design school in Detroit. After a decade in the Motor City, he once again pulled stakes. “I was going through a painful break-up and had to lay my cat to rest on the same day I moved into my own apartment” he tells. “I moved to California a few months later, and it just went from bad to worse. The stress of that situation just wasn’t allowing me to process all the changes and heartache. That’s when the music just started flowing out of me. And from that moment forward, I just kept on writing to exorcise the demons.”
What resulted was Tin Corazón, Delgado’s first release after ten years of silence. The songs on Tin Corazón were born from heartache, regret, anger, salvation, and everything in between. The more he wrote, the more the songs touched on modern social issues. “I think the isolation of these times forces us to stop and take deeper notice of our immediate surroundings, and that includes trying to understand our place in the world” Delgado explains.
Tracked remotely across four states during the pandemic with his band, Los Conejos De Amor (The Rabbits of Love), Tin Corazón was arranged, produced and mixed by Jason Davis at Off The Cuff Sound. The two had first come together when Davis had tracked a demo for Delgado’s band Toro, Toro, Toro!!!. They clicked and knew they would work together again. In late 2019 they reconnected, and Delgado started sending Davis demos.
“As we’ve grown more comfortable working together, I spend less time sweating the fine details early on and just send over a rough idea” tells Delgado. “In this way, the instrumentation has become a bit more stream of consciousness. Instead of trying to control the wild horse, we just jump on and let the ride take us wherever we end up.”
In production, they focused more on the vibe of a take rather than chasing perfection. “It’s the first time I let go of the reins and stopped being overbearing about direction. I just kind of pointed us in a direction and let it happen.” Combining Delgado’s surf guitar tones and the pervasive atmospherics drawn from his shoegaze days, Tin Corazón breathes deeply of his New Mexican roots. The traditional Mariachi 1950s Rock n’ Roll and the country-western music that soundtracked his youth echo throughout the record. In essence, “These songs are a return to a life of music I thought I lost. And I don’t take that lightly.”
So, we have Tin Corazón, an immersive work of art that draws you in like a great work of prose – and satisfies such the same. Give yourself over to Delgado, for it is a broad and deeply human journey through which he guides us.
