Lead singer Loren Carlile of Ultra Bloom starts the night with a bang with the indie-rock track “Sleepwalker.”
Carlile, guitarist Jeffrey Lance, drummer Johnn Hesseltine, and bassist Jamie Bassett bring up the energy with “Signals.”
Carlile motions around the room as she sings “Signals”: “Are your signals mixed or my head twisted? / You stared back at me / You thought I missed it, but I didn’t.”
Drummer Johnn Hesseltine of Ultra Bloom plays repeating harmonic rhythms to keep the beat during “Velouria.”
Lead singer of Soft Blue Shimmer, Meredith Ramond, joins Carlile to sing a cover of “All You Wanted” by Michelle Branch.
Fawn rocks out while performing “Hill” off its latest EP, Paper Thin.
Guitarist Enrique Bonilla strums the electric chords of “Paper Thin,” while drummer Jes Morales goes wild on the drums.
Lead singer of Fawn, Trevor Humphreys, joins in on the guitar for “melt.”
Soft Blue Shimmer starts its set with dreamy guitar and soft vocals in “Sunpools.”
Drummer Morgan Fields and guitarists Charlie Crowley and Nicky Howard supplement lead singer Meredith Ramond with punchy chords.
Ramond sings the crushing lyrics of “Soonby” off Soft Blue Shimmer’s latest album They Will Leave Us With Nothing: “Insignificant to them / We’re just vague shapes to line their pockets.”
