GOLDEN DAWN ARKESTRA

We come in peace. Golden Dawn Arkestra continues to spread a message of love, light & tolerance in the hope that Earth beings can someday live in unity, having learned to love one another despite their many differences. To aid in this purpose, Golden Dawn Arkestra conducts extra-dimensional experiments involving space and time travel through the use of sound and movement. Their followers delight in these rituals; all bear witnesses to their higher selves and joyously bask in the eternal light that joins us all as one. The Arkestra ’s theatrical visuals inspired by Sun Ra Arkestra are enriched further by appearances from various dancers who, like the musicians, are adorned in shimmering garments reminiscent of intergalactic kingdoms of yore. Inspired to exuberance by ritualistic practices such as processions, chanting, and the power of the music itself, the audience falls into spellbound frenzies. GOLDEN DAWN ARKESTRA invites you to join in their cosmic explorations in the hopes that you too may experience the ecstatic joy of drifting upon the ever-loving rays of RA.

JUNACO

Junaco began as an experiment of music and art, using the project as a timeline of our lives. Each song is a vignette of an emotion, an ode to a feeling. Junaco's first full length album, "Where Does It Go?" was recorded in upstate New York in the early spring of 2022. The days were getting warmer, and the flowers were starting to bloom. The 12 song record shares feelings of coming to terms with ourselves, and feeling certain about who we are. A coming of age record, if you will. A transition towards accepting uncertainty, and recognizing that the strongest thing we have is our own minds.

JOHN FRANCIS + THE POOR CLARES

Desert daydreams and moon lit ramblings, John Francis & The Poor Clares' melodious rock & roll is rooted in images. These are songs of sincerity -the hopes and pains of a poet in an age of reduction. Keen songwriting harkens back to late 60's/early 70's greats Paul Simon and Neil Young, deftly decorated with golden harmony, cohesive and dynamic instrumentation, vulnerability and polish. A new story is being told in Santa Fe, and it feels as familiar as a whisper.

KAYLA VON DER HEIDE

Kayla von der Heide lives and haunts the town of Bisbee, AZ. Her voice and her songs sing with the spirit of the desert as she has taken inspiration from the place she grew up in. She was 2020's "Gems in the Roughs" , Gems on Vhs' singer song-writer winner, and a contestant on Team Gwen for the voice's season 22. Her favorite thing is to write her own songs though and make videos to them in abandoned places all by herself. She travels through spooky desert lands and haunted spots to find inspiration with her dog Bodie, and she is sure to bring lots of handmade candles and so much more to any performance.
