Malachi Graham

Portland songwriter Malachi Graham’s new album Caretaker is what comes out when a bad breakup opens your eyes to pathological behavior all around you - and in yourself. She is embracing a rockier sound to chart a rockier road, and using her deft, sometimes blunt, lyrics to examine codependency, unraveling love, chronic pain, grudges, flings, addictions of all sorts, and the boundaries of the self. The emotions she dredges up cover a spectrum from bitter humor to gentle despair, and the music similarly ranges from delicate to raw. As she wrote these songs different anxieties rushed out like a breath she didn’t realize she was holding in.

 Graham has been writing and performing for ten years as the vocalist and lyricist of the indie pop outfit Small Million (Tender Loving Empire). Her earlier solo songs had an observant, literary flavor, full of empathy and poetry. “Those felt like more of an intellectual exercise. These are the first songs I've written that are like, ‘Oh! this is actually scary to sing in public’,” Graham says of her new work. Caretaker is an evolution, her most mature, emotional, resonant, vulnerable work.

Ezza Rose 

Ezza and band are stoked to be back in PDX, their hometown, for this incredible lineup and their local winter performance. 

Since 2009, Ezza Rose and band have been cultivating a sound of their own. Drawing on several influences from the likes of Mazzy Star, Patti Smith, and their residency in Portland, ERB writes and performs music which reflects the listeners’ lives back at them while hinting at a new perspective. The fluidity of love, the ebb and flow of relationships, and getting caught in the machine of expectations, all are deconstructed with flowy rhythm, aggressive electric guitars, and dreamy vocal melodies. This winter they’re working on their fifth full band album and her second solo acoustic record to be released in 2024.

Rascal Miles

After moving from Portland to Minneapolis nearly two years ago, Rascal Miles is back in town for his only Portland show this year, and he's got a brand new concept album in the works to tease you with (more on this later). Think Radiohead meets The Cure meets Nana Grizol, but with a healthy dose of trans tenderness, and you're on your way to understanding the sonic world Miles is about to let you in on.
