Kash’d Out – The Mirage Tour
Florida-based reggae/rock band Kash’d Out has been hustling hard since day one. Formed when Greg Shields (lead vocals) and Jackson Hauserman (guitar) first met during a studio session, the band quickly found its sound. With the addition of Joey Brohawn on bass, Marshall Hearne on drums, and most recently A-Mac on keys, Kash’d Out’s clever lyrics, tasteful guitar riffs, and infectious grooves came to life. Their breakout caught the attention of Hawaiian legends Pepper, who signed them to LAW Records and released their debut full-length album, The Hookup. Before the album even dropped, the band hit the road with Pepper and Less Than Jake, launching them onto the Billboard Reggae Charts and into households across the country. Since then, Kash’d Out has become a relentless touring force, supporting genre staples like Collie Buddz, The Expendables, and Iration, while also headlining multiple national tours. Their most recent album, Butter (released on LAW Records), showcased the band’s musical growth and experimentation, further solidifying their reputation for crafting songs that blend catchy melodies with honest, introspective lyrics. Now signed to Ineffable Records, the band continues to evolve. Their latest single, “Mushroom Tea” featuring Little Stranger, dives into a playful, psychedelic groove—bringing together bounce, wit, and a touch of nostalgic stoner charm. It marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as they gear up for their next full-length album, due out in 2026. With a packed touring schedule and a high-energy live show, Kash’d Out continues to bring their music to fans across the country—spreading good vibes and authentic connection at every stop.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
Few bands command a stage, or a crowd, quite like Baltimore’s Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. Driven by an infectious live energy and a relentless touring schedule spanning nearly two decades, the dynamic quintet—”Scrambled Greg” Ormont [vocals, guitar], Jeremy Schon [guitar, vocals], Ben Carrey [bass, vocals], Alex “Gator” Petropulos [drums, vocals], and new member Jon Brady [keys, vocals]—has built an undeniable reputation as one of the most electric live acts on the tour circuit today. To experience Pigeons Playing Ping Pong live is to step into a high-octane celebration powered by soaring jams, infectious funk, and the unmatched energy of their devoted fanbase, The Flock. Their signature dynamic psychedelic funk sound, a seamless fusion of soaring guitar solos, danceable grooves, explosive rhythms, and exploratory jamming, turns every show into a unified, high-voltage dance party. “Making music and connecting with people feels like something we were born to do,” explains Ormont. “We have an unwavering commitment to keep evolving together.” That evolution reached a major milestone when the band officially welcomed longtime collaborator Jon Brady as their newest official member. After enriching the group’s sonic textures with frequent guest appearances on stage and in the studio, Brady’s full integration was announced in unforgettable fashion via a surprise on-stage proposal during Domefest. The band’s annual music festival recently celebrated its biggest event yet at ACE Adventure Resort in New River Gorge, WV, showcasing a thriving, joyful community at its absolute peak. While recent releases like their eighth studio album, Feed The Fire, capture their sharpened musicianship, exploratory arrangements, and collaborative spirit, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong remain a force best experienced in the wild. Refreshingly dynamic, irresistibly danceable, and forever fueled by their road-tested chemistry, they continue to ignite crowds and push their sonic boundaries from coast to coast. As Ormont sums it up best, “We’ve been given the gift of this passion. So it’s our responsibility to nurture it, embrace it, and spread it wild. Because when the band and fans reach new heights together, that’s where the real magic happens.”
The Motet
Formed over two decades ago, the funk six-piece The Motethave learned to work as an interlocking unit, with each member bolstering one another towards the best creative output. This symbiosis has led to a unique style and cohesive musical chemistry, as seen in the band’s immaculate live performances and seamless blend of funk, soul, jazz, and rock. With a fervent fanbase in tow, The Motet have sold out shows across the nation, performed seven headlining slots at Red Rocks and sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Bottlerock, Electric Forest, Bumbershoot, Summer Camp, and High Sierra. But even after their 20+ years of accolades and recognition, the legendary outfit -composed of Dave Watts(drums), Garrett Sayers(bass), Drew Sayers(keys and saxophone), Ryan Jalbert(guitar), and Sarah Clarke(vocals)-are still exploring new sonic ideas and finding new ways to showcase each other’s skill sets.
Funk Trek
Railroad Earth
For over two decades, Railroad Earth has captivated audiences with gleefully unpredictable live shows and eloquent and elevated studio output. The group introduced its signature sound on 2001’s The Black Bear Sessions. Between selling out hallowed venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, they’ve launched the longstanding annual Hangtown Music Festival in Placerville, CA and Hillberry: The Harvest Moon Festival in Ozark, AR—both running for a decade-plus. Sought after by legends, the John Denver Estate tapped them to put lyrics penned by the late John Denver to music on the 2019 vinyl EP, Railroad Earth: The John Denver Letters. Beyond tallying tens of millions of streams, the collective have earned widespread critical acclaim from David Fricke of Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, Glide Magazine, and NPR who assured, “Well-versed in rambling around, as you might expect from a band named after a Jack Kerouac poem, the New Jersey-built jam-grass engine Railroad Earth has let no moss grow under its rustic wheels.”
