THE COFFIS BROTHERS

With two songwriters, six albums, and more than a thousand shows under their belt, The Coffis Brothers have earned their reputation as modern-day torchbearers of all-American rock & roll. It's a sound caught halfway between amplified Americana, acoustic folk, roadhouse R&B, and electrifying roots music, crafted by a pair of California-born siblings who've been sharing the stage since childhood, and the five piece band filled out by their childhood friend, Kyle Poppen on lead guitar, and the rhythm section of Aidan Collins (bass), and Cory Graves (drums).

IAN GEORGE & THE KNEE POCKETS

Ian George & the Knee Pockets are a subtly explosive and peculiarly adventurous band delivering the sort of concert you’ll likely dance, sway, sing, laugh and probably cry too. There is one motive: ALLOW A GOOD TIME

THE LOSTINES/Sequoia at Trout Lake Hall

The Trout Lake Hall in Trout Lake, Washington brings live music and community events to its historic venue. https://www.troutlakehall.com/

Friday, July 17, $25 Advance // $30 Day Of Show, 6 p.m. Doors / 7 p.m. Show, All Ages

THE LOSTINES/THE LOSTINES: Superimposing Everly Brothers-style harmonies atop lilting guitar and doo-wop-inspired instrumentation, Camille Wind Weatherford and Casey Jane Reece-Kaigler transmit messages of disillusionment, enduring romanticism, and tenacious hope. Named after a river in the duo’s native Oregon and cultivated in the New Orleans DIY scene where the pair met, The Lostines’ chemistry is both forward-looking and a throwback, born of seemingly disparate aesthetics — classic country, Louisiana dance hall, mid-century girl groups.

SEQUOIA

Sequoia spent his early life in transience and instability, relocating several times before landing in rural Vermont. Growing up in a family full of wanderlust, adulthood maintained the same momentum, moving consistently, seeking belonging. Having recently returned to his adopted hometown of Portland, Oregon, he spends months on the road, touring nationally as a solo artist.
