All Ages // 7 PM Doors // Tickets $35
Timecop1983 is a producer from Eindhoven in The Netherlands. His style is best described as romantic and cinematic, inspired by the 80's. He is a one-man band, creating Synthwave music with (vintage) synthesizers and a computer, but he works together with other musicians and vocalists regularly.
He started making music when he was 12 when a friend gave him a floppy disk with Scream Tracker for MS-DOS. He didn't have any musical background and he never learned to play a musical instrument, but he was determined to learn to make his own music.
After years of experimenting and learning how to create music he got inspired by the movie Drive (2011) and he decided to create Synthwave. That's when Timecop1983 was born and soon his music was picked up by NewRetroWave on Youtube. He is now considered as one of the top artists in the Synthwave genre and he has released multiple albums, EP's and singles which have accumulated millions of plays on the major digital music platforms. All the while staying independent.
His music has been featured in various (short) films, including major productions like DC's "Legends of Tomorrow", Netflix' "Lucifer" and "Stream" from the producers of "Terrifier". He has also done several soundtracks for videogames and other productions. His dream is to create more soundtracks in the future.
Timecop1983 has played many international live shows, including gigs at the world famous Amsterdam Dance Event and he has done 4 US headline tours.

Towr's
Towr's is an indie folk rock band from Northern Arizona. At the heart of the band is duo Kyle and Gretta Miller. They've spent the last eleven years making music in their backyard studio and touring the country with their band and two kids. The music translates their memories, questions, heartbreak, and hope into raw, honest indie-folk-rock songs, driven by an alternative singer-songwriter pulse. The group is set to release their eighth studio album this coming March 2026. An intentional collection of poems made into songs meant as reminders and hopes in the quiet of morning or reflection of evening. The album will be celebrated in a series of shows along the West coast of the U.S in mid march 2026.

Frail Talk
Formed in the foothills of Northern Colorado in early 2020, Alex Woodchek and Cor Wright of Frail Talk are creating a blooming universe of squiggly indie music for squiggly people. Like the kind surprise of a backyard garden, their songs spring up from the dirt with folk roots, soft pop colors, and burgeoning lyricism ready to welcome every listener with daydream-love.
In August of 2024, Frail Talk released their sophomore album, Microspirit. Recorded in seven days of heat-sweat-friend-magic in Silsbee, TX alongside producers Hannah Read (Lomelda), Tommy Read and with the help of Tobias Bank (drums) and Nathaniel Riley (bass). With more attention to the emotion and substance of sound than ever but with the same honesty Frail Talk has always valued, Microspirit touches on the landscape of the queer divinity in all things, and world speaking through bugs, dogs, sunsets and friends.
The album itself has already had a life in the months it's been out, being featured on NPR Tiny Desk's Top Shelf, getting multiple features from their video "little al" and landing singles its first two weeks on Spotify's "Fresh Finds" and "Fresh Finds Folk" playlists.
Through the art of mashing folk-pop sensibilities with strange-space-synthetic-sounds, Frail Talk offers a landscape where one's self, surrounding, and experiences are as much a part of the songs as the music itself.
The future is bright for Frail Talk. It's all love now.
Join this celebrated community event that has been taking place biennially since 1999! Volunteers from near and far unite to remove trash from the Nehalem Bay Estuary and then celebrate at the ‘Sorting Pit’ with food and friends. In 2022 we pulled over 2 tons of trash and hundreds of pounds of recyclables from the Estuary, including half a canoe, two refrigerators, a yoga mat and an entire boat! Let’s do it again!
Volunteer activities range from collecting debris, sorting materials, and helping with set-up and take down. This event is hosted by the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, Nehalem Bay Watershed Council and Heart of Cartm.
When? Sunday, March 8th, 2026. Orientation Begins: 9:00 am
Cleanup: Begins at 9:00AM and runs until 1:00PM.
Celebrate: After you finish the cleanup, hang out at the sorting pit with food, family and friends. Get your warm soup in a special mug donated by Hoffman Center for the Arts Volunteers!
Location: Multiple Locations around Nehalem Bay. Party at HeartWorks Studio in Wheeler.
What we’ll do: During low tide we will work in teams to walk the high tide lines to collect trash. Boats and trucks will then bring it back to the Wheeler Waterfront Park Boat Ramp to be sorted, counted, weighed, and disposed of. All ages welcome.
What to Expect: There are different cleanup zones around the estuary with different distances and terrain. Please consult the Zone Map to determine which zone is most appropriate for you. We have done our best to include opportunities for diverse abilities. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can help to accommodate your participation or answer any questions.

The Technicolors
The Technicolors are an American rock band from Phoenix, AZ. The band's line-up includes founder Brennan Smiley (lead vocals, guitar), Sean Silverman (guitar, backing vocals), Nico Nicolette (bass guitar), and Kim Vi (keys).
Since introducing themselves in 2012, The Technicolors have woven a luminous sonic tapestry of fuzz-fueled riffs existing somewhere between the gloomy echoes of 90's Britpop and the snake-charmed stars of the Sonoran desert. The band's vast and diverse catalog is highlighted by a slew of critically-praised singles, including: "Tonight You Are Mine," "Neon Roses," "Space Cadet" and "Dress Up For You."
Over the years, The Technicolors have evolved their sound, most notably on their 2021 album Cinema Sublimina. Their music often explores themes of introspection, youth, and surreal storytelling, carried by Smiley's distinct vocals and cinematic production.
The band has amassed over 500 thousand monthly listeners and 100 million streams on Spotify to date. Their new LP "Heavy Pulp" is set for release this August.
VEAUX
Nashville-based alt-pop band VEAUX is on the rise - and they aren't coming down any time soon.
Formed in 2016, the trio, comprising brothers Aaron and Dominick Wagner along with Andrew Black, has carved a unique niche in Nashville's music scene, creating authentically alt-pop songs that weave in elements of R&B and rock alike.
VEAUX's journey is a testament to the power of DIY spirit and independent artistry. Operating outside the conventional music industry pathways, they have sculpted a sound that is authentically theirs, while paying homage to their eclectic inspirations from Pharrell to Coldplay, and Portugal. The Man.
The trio's music reflects their commitment to not just making good music, but crafting sonic experiences. Frontman Aaron Wagner is celebrated as one of the top 25 songwriters in Nashville - and it makes sense. The band consistently pens unabashed bangers ??that keep listeners coming back for more (and more). This magnetic appeal is part of what cements VEAUX's status as one of Nashville's must-watch bands.
Since their conception, the band has toured coast to coast, sharing the stage with the likes of Wet Leg, Charlotte Sands, Twen, and indie rock legends Mae. VEAUX's impact extends beyond live performances, with millions of streams to their credit and TV placements on MTV and ABC.
As they continue to tour and release jam after jam, VEAUX stands as a beacon of what modern alt-pop can be - diverse, dynamic, and utterly unmissable.

The Ramona Flowers
The Ramona Flowers are on a roll - their latest release Human is climbing up the US Alt Radio charts and hitting over 1 millions global streams, and track Dangerous hit the Top 30 at US Alt Radio. Hit single Up All Night has reached over 1.8 million streams on Spotify and over 4 million global streams, and is the band's biggest radio hit with over 100k plays at US Radio with 10k plays a week. Globally, the track has had huge support, becoming a radio hit in Italy and multiple plays across Germany, Canada, Belgium, the US and the UK. Up All Night has hit the top 25 on Alt US Radio, entered the Billboard Chart earlier this year and was included in the NBA 2K24, which has now sold over 135 million copies. "We've been a band for over a decade, we've released a few albums, but this is where it's really connected", Dyson says. "Whatever we're doing, it's really working".
The band now are now readying their brand new album Made By Humans, due Oct 10th, 13 slick tracks that seamlessly blends genres disco, funk and indie, featuring previously released singles Up All Night, California, and most recent single, Human. Without the boundaries of one genre, the album is their most creative and honest to date. Alongside their familiar upbeat tracks, Made By Humans is multifaceted with emotive tracks Sins Of The Father and Three Minus Two. Sure to be fan favourites are synth filled Circles and funk-infused Hopeless Romantic.
Speaking about their upcoming album the band said, "Made by Humans is an album that dives deep into the raw, unfiltered emotions that define us-love, heartbreak, addiction, and everything in between. It's a reminder that, in an age of artificial perfection, these songs are crafted from real experiences, real pain, and real passion- things only humans can truly feel. It's a soundtrack to the highs and lows of being alive, exploring the connections we make, the ones we lose, and the vices we turn to in between."
The Ramona Flowers kick off this bold new chapter with That Summer, the infectious lead single from their upcoming album. Reflecting on a whirlwind romance, the vibrant track is built for long summer road trips.
Rewind to 2020, when the band brought their disco-inspired track "Up All Night" to the studio, they had a distinct vision for it. "We wanted the guitar to sound like Chic, to the extent that every guitar track I laid down was labeled 'Nile' in the file," Sam Dyson says. "Next thing I know, Nile Rodgers is calling me up, saying he loves the song and wants to play on it." While the band's manager suggested reaching out, Dyson never imagined Rodgers would be interested in collaborating on a song with a band out of Bristol who had yet to meet their moment. As it turned out, "Up All Night" delivered it. Since it debuted in 2021, "Up All Night" has become The Ramona Flowers biggest track to date and continues to soar. After reaching over 1.8 million streams on Spotify and 5 million global streams, "Up All Night" is the band's biggest radio hit with over 100k plays at US Radio with 10k plays a week. Globally, the track has had huge support, becoming a radio hit in Italy and multiple plays across Germany, Canada, Belgium, the US and the UK. Up All Night was taken from their 2022 6-track EP Gotta Get Home, has hit the top 25 on the Alt US Radio, entered the Billboard Chart earlier this year and was included in the NBA 2K24, which has now sold over 135 million copies. "We've been a band for over a decade, we've released a few albums, but this is where it's really connected," Dyson says. "Whatever we're doing, it's really working."
Founded in 2012, The Ramona Flowers got their start gigging around their hometown of Bristol, a city still steeped in the legacy of trip hop and dance music. While Dyson and his bandmates, Steve Bird (vocals), Dave Betts (keys, guitar), and Ed Gallimore (drums), hit the scene as a rock band, they had a flexible definition of "rock" in mind. "Growing up, I loved guitar music, but while I was playing guitar at home, I was also going out clubbing, listening to dance music, and meeting DJs. In Bristol, that crossover is all happening at the same time," Dyson says.
The Ramona Flowers released their debut LP, Dismantle and Rebuild, in 2014 via Dyson's own Distiller Records, an independent label he founded out of love for his local music community and frustration with the treatment small artists often experienced when they signed to majors. "I saw how little care or attention was paid to nurturing new artists. Friends of mine would sign huge deals and then their albums would get shelved, and they couldn't get out of the contract," Dyson says. "I didn't have a clue, and I didn't know anyone, but I started taking meetings, knowing I wanted to support new and emerging artists in the really difficult early stages of a career." Moreover, Dyson was in a financial position to make constructive changes to a flawed label system; his father invented the first bagless vacuum cleaner, and while things hadn't always been easy for the family, by the time Sam was grown enough to begin his own venture, he had the means to back it.
Since it officially launched in 2009, Distiller Records has grown into Distiller Music Group, becoming a venerable force in the UK., championing celebrated artists like Danny Goffey (Supergrass), Reverend And The Makers, Sports Team and of course, The Ramona Flowers. The band followed up Dismantle and Rebuild with Part Time Spies (2016) and Strangers (2018) along with three EPs and a smattering of one-off singles, including "Up All Night." Andy Barlow (Lamb) and Chris Zane (Passion Pit, Jack Antonoff, Holy Ghost!) grace their list of collaborators alongside Nile Rodgers, and in recent years the band has landed tour spots with British mainstay acts like the Libertines, Placebo, and Muse.
Most recently, the band debuted Hey You, an EP written and recorded in 2020 when, per Dyson, The Ramona Flowers experienced a creative and collaborative rush like no other. Decamping to a studio in Ireland, the members of The Ramona Flowers each brought a set of songs to work on, and in a process Dyson likens to "an old school hit factory," the members got to work alongside producer Dimitri Tikovoi. "We each set up our own production station in the studio and passed tracks back and forth before sending them over to the producer," Dyson explains. The Ramona Flowers left the sessions with an arsenal of new music in hand, much of which is as-yet unreleased. Some of those new songs were heard on The Ramona Flowers' most recent tour supporting Barns Courtney in the States, where their reputation for being an outrageously good live band has only grown. That, coupled with a radio tour of various stations on the East Coast has piqued American interest in the group. Dyson attributes the lingering success of "Up All Night" to NBA 2K24, but also to those radio spots, which gave the band an opportunity to pitch themselves to an audience far from home. "We've worked hard for a long time, and in those studios, it was gratifying to hear DJs say, 'We fucking love it. We love everything you're doing, and we'll keep playing you.'"
That promise is a sure reminder that The Ramona Flowers have hits on deck and that they've more than earned their moment in the spotlight. "This is so ridiculously British, but I used to be really embarrassed about my backstory, and worried that people would discredit the band, which is bigger than me," Dyson says. "Now, I'm just incredibly thankful that we were able to pursue this career the way we wanted to. A lot of musicians don't get this luxury." Dyson's paying that luxury forward with Distiller, recently signing a handful of new artists he excitedly talks up with the enthusiasm of a lifelong fan, all while managing the affairs of The Ramona Flowers, who, over a decade in, have finally met their moment. "We wrote an album in lockdown, and since coming out of that, we've written another," Dyson says. "We've got a whole catalog of amazing songs that we can't wait to get out there."
