A special treat with visiting musicians Rae Island and Ali Angel - preorder tickets online or see you at the door! $12Rae Isla –
Rae Isla is an independent American singer-songwriter and musician from Bainbridge Island, WA, now based in Los Angeles. Drawing from her early years playing classical cello, learning piano and guitar as a teenager, and attending Berklee College of Music on a vocal scholarship, Rae weaves together a unique blend of folk, indie rock, and alt-country influences to create lush, evocative songs.
Her 2021 debut album, Another Life, garnered critical acclaim with features in Rolling Stone and Billboard, and charted #27 on NACC radio. Her newly released sophomore album, New Frontier—featuring fan favorites like “Miles and Miles” and “Free to Love”—marks an evolution in her artistry as a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and visual storyteller.
Rae’s voice has also reached new audiences through film and television. She performed the lead original song for Ezra, a feature film starring Robert De Niro and Rose Byrne, and composed the theme for the upcoming docuseries SCENE: SILVER LAKE.
Known as a “traveling bard,” Rae’s live performances are both intimate and immersive, sharing fantastical stories from the road and creating a communal experience that breaks down the barrier between artist and audience. A burgeoning American songwriter in her own right, Rae’s ability to blend honest and intimate storytelling with cinematic arrangement will draw you in—and keep you there.
Ali Angel –
With her retro soul meets indie twang style, independent artist Ali Angel is carving a distinct niche in the LA music scene. Her songwriting echoes classic influences like Sheryl Crow, yet her voice and presence are unmistakably her own.
Since launching her artist project, Ali has earned editorial placements from Spotify’s “The New Retro,” “Fresh Finds,” “Feel Good Dinner” and Apple Music’s “New in Alternative” for her songs “Play Pretend” and “Hold”. She’s received attention from radio stations including 88.5 The SoCal Sound and 88.9 KXLU, and her songs have been featured on prominent shows like Tulsa King on Paramount Plus.
Set to arrive this October, Angel’s debut full-length album Is This Really Happening? combines her warm vintage sound with a modern indie touch, while lyrically tapping into vulnerable topics like sexuality, mental health, and self-discovery.
