Nick Delffs with special guests Rosy Nolan and Victoria Fragoso

Nick Delffs

Delffs cut his teeth playing basement shows in Portland a dozen years ago. Delffs first emerged in 2003 as the frontman for the seminal Portland band The Shaky Hands, known for their jangly, pulsing and introspective songs and their high-energy live shows. The band would sign to the venerable K*ll Rock Stars imprint and tour internationally with bands like The Shins and Meat Puppets.

The Shaky Hands went on hiatus in 2011, and the changes come fast and furious for Delffs. He released a stripped-down, self-titled EP as Death Songs. He became a father. He located to Idaho. Living in Boise, Delffs remained a beloved figure throughout the Northwest-traveling often and moonlighting in friends' touring bands. Slowly, through collaboration and time off, the pressure of being a full-time songwriter subsided and a thrilling new confidence emerged in Delffs' own work. In a world of noice and madness, he will use his music to try and scrath at something human and real.

Rosy Nolan

Move over Nashville, and make room for California’s own Rosy Nolan. Nolan is part of the current California Gold rush of female Singer-Songwriters that bring old-time music to new audiences with fresh tales. Her music follows the touchstones of Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton. Rosy delivers hymns, ballads, and folk melodies with a mesmerizing rawness that sweeps up her audiences. Landing a performance at the renowned Stagecoach Festival in 2020 solidifies her legitimate place in Country Folk music but it did not happen overnight. For years Nolan has dug deep into honing her craft by frequenting many old-time music jams, banjo twangs, and partnering in a traditional bluegrass duo called Old Time Machine. In addition, Nolan is a veteran of touring nationally and internationally grabbing new fans from quite different landscapes like London, New York, and Northern California. Her 2019 release, Footprints and Broken Branches is her best work yet. It delivers a signature sound that is all things Rosy Nolan.
