About this Event

Ethan

Los Angeles indie folk/pop troubadour, activist, and community builder wants you to see who he really is: his traumas and triumphs, anxieties and hopes. His debut LP Treading Water, produced by grammy-nominee Justin Glasco (Paris Paloma, Lone Bellow), weaves between moments both intimate and anthemic, exploring struggles that are both deeply personal and unavoidably collective.
Following a whirlwind year of touring and releases, including a headline debut at LA’s iconic Troubadour, Ethan and Justin are hard at work on Ephemera, his second LP. The project is Ethan’s reckoning and redemption, written after Ethan found himself immobilized for months in early 2025 following a severe back injury. His new work casts an invitation to embrace vulnerability as a source of power.

Jessie

is a singer-songwriter from Seattle, Washington. Drawing inspiration from classic storytellers like Joni Mitchell and John Prine, Jessie Thoreson pairs folk roots and instrumentation with the emotional grit and complexity of artists like Fiona Apple, Madison Cunningham, and St. Vincent.
Her most recent single, Tides, is a meditation on life’s cyclical nature. Using the ocean’s rhythms as a metaphor for human experience, each verse of the song connects ecological patterns to emotional cycles, exploring themes of change, repetition, and renewal.
The single anchors Jessie’s forthcoming album, Return To The Ground, arriving on Friday, April 10, which Jessie Thoreson describes as a record about transformation and interconnectedness. “Being alive is a promise to return to the ground,” a lyric from Tides, serves as the album’s thesis.
When not playing music, Jessie works as a fire ecologist, studying how wildfire reshapes, renews, and reinforces our cultural and ecological systems. That idea of transformation runs through her music, which often explores natural systems, human behavior, and the tension between destruction and renewal. Playful yet sophisticated, her songs celebrate life’s contradictions, cycles, and the beauty found in between.
