ABOUT LAURA JANE GRACE:Laura Jane Grace is a major figure in today’s rock scene as both a solo artist and the front person of Against Me!, which she founded in Naples, FL in the late 1990s. As a working artist, she has released six solo offerings and seven albums with Against Me!, and in 2012 went public with her gender transition in the pages of Rolling Stone. In her music, she continues to detail her journey all while staying true to her earlier themes of outspoken political critique – environmentalism along with personal and social liberation – with a base in American music including country and folk-rock, with a penchant for noise and anarchy. Laura Jane has been joined in the past by her band featuring Matt Patton of Drive-By Truckers (bass) and Mikey Erg of The Ergs (drums). On the upcoming tour in 2026, she will be joined by Ara Babajian from the Slackers/Leftover Crack (drums), Mike Abbate from Screaming Females (bass) and Lulu Lucious from Thelma & the Sleeze (2nd guitar/vocals).
ABOUT LUNG:
Since their inception in Cincinnati in 2016, Lung has gained a cult-like following with their impeccable, candy-coated, melodies atop a whirring, chainsaw, thunderclap of cello and drums. Lung consists of Kate Wakefield, a classically trained opera singer, cellist and now a member of The Breeders, along with local show booker and former Foxy Shazam bassist Daisy Caplan on drums. Fierce, ethereal, and heavy as hell, Lung plays with the intensity of early grunge layered with sinister undertones. Described as "loud, dissonant, innovative, and fearless" (Fair Shakes and Just Dessert), Wakefield runs her cello through distortion pedals and big amps, while Caplan pounds out earthquaking beats on epic horn-shaped vintage drums. A relentless touring machine, Lung has played over 800 shows across North America and Europe, sharing bills with The Jesus Lizard, Dead Bob (ex NoMeansNo), Brainiac, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Guided By Voices, Screaming Females, Big Business, Chat Pile and so many more. The band’s fifth studio album, The Swankeeper, (released this May on Feel It Records) sees them continue to develop and expand their genre defying sound.
ABOUT BLACK GUY FAWKES:
Black Guy Fawkes is a Folk Singer-Songwriter born and raised in Baltimore, MD. He currently resides in Cumberland MD. Growing up in the DIY music scene, he is now taking his music on the road for all to experience. Drawing influence from artists such as: Against Me!, Frank Turner, Green Day, and Bob Dylan; Black Guy Fawkes creates a sound that is heartfelt folk yet energetic and punk driven.
