DIZGO:
Born from attic jam sessions between childhood friends Andrew Pickel and Kevin Hinnefeld, Dizgo’s story began with two guitars, a tape recorder, and a dream - literally. The band’s name came to Hinnefeld in a dream, before their first gig, reflecting the cosmic, boundary-breaking sound they’d soon deliver. Later joined by Jake Evatt on keys/vocals and Justin Clark on drums, the Bloomington-based quartet has since evolved into one of the country's premiere touring acts.

Critics have called Dizgo “one of the most operative names in the jam band scene” and “Indiana’s psychedelic powerhouse,” blending the adventurous spirit of jamtronica with the deep-pocket pulse of funk, the warmth of soul, explosive guitar, and the kaleidoscopic textures of psychedelic rock. Their live shows are immersive journeys - a dance party and mind-trip rolled into one. Interweaving soulful vocals, analog synths, and searing guitar complete with intricate compositions and extended improvisation. The result is something both danceable and introspective: a dance floor where heads and hearts move in equal measure.

Dizgo’s touring resume reads like a true music lover’s bucket list - standout sets at Peach Music Festival, Summer Camp, Secret Dreams, Domefest & Sonic Bloom, alongside club & amphitheater performances supporting Goose, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, lespecial, Dogs in a Pile, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and more. Their 2024 studio album “Melt” crystallized their ethos: when everything locks in, the band and the fans “melt into one collective unit,” channeling energy between themselves and the crowd in a feedback loop of groove.
From your local venue to the biggest festival stage, Dizgo creates a communal experience - one where genre is merely a suggestion, the band and the fans are a living organism, and every note is a step further down the rabbit hole.
SPACE BACON:
New York City based jam quartet that weaves composition and improvisation through an ever-changing landscape. Drawing from an array of inspirations including jam bands, electronic music, film scores, and a bit of metal, Space Bacon seeks to challenge conventions and pave the way in the modern era of improvisational music.
“They’re constantly searching to bring their jams into unchartered territory, taking the necessary risks to have those mind-altering breakthroughs which propel bands to the next level.” – Live for Live Music
