Chanel Beads | 5:15 pm Central Atrium
An experimental dream pop project by New York-based Shane Levers, Chanel Beads makes their first appearance in Memphis at Raised By Sound Fest. Their June 2026 sophomore album, Your Day Will Come (same title as their first album), earned praise from renowned Indie Music staples NME, Pitchfork and Paste.
Hand Habits | 3:55 pm East Atrium
WYXR is elated to present the Memphis debut of Hand Habits, aka Meg Duffy. Their contributions to collaboration and community in the Indie music world are right in line with WYXR. Along with their incredible solo project, Hand Habits, they’ve brought their immense swiss-army-like talents (vocals, keys, bass, guitar, slide) and vision to work by Kevin Morby, The War on Drugs, Perfume Genius, and more.
Out On The Eaves | 2:50 pm East Atrium
The current creative venture by Memphis mainstay, Patrick Carey, is a stunning display of psychedelic folk and pop. Patrick cut his teeth in Athens, Georgia, but since landing in Memphis, has become embedded in the local arts scene and has released two exceptional albums as Out On The Eaves. His 2026 release, With No Reflection, is a revelation and was launched at a release party with none other than Bonnie “Prince” Billy.
Marcella Simien + Qemist | 2 pm Central Atrium
On their own, Marcella and Qemist are beloved, prolific and ground-breaking Memphis artists. Together, their powers double. Swamp Soul Queen Marcella’s transcendent vocals soar over Qemist’s infectious, perfectly layered beats and melodies. It’s something to behold. This is the first performance of its kind, with visual and stylistic surprises in store.
Blue Tom Revue | 1 pm Central Atrium
The only performance that’s kicked off Raised By Sound Fest since the very beginning. These young artists historically go on to BIG things - including spots at RIVERBEAT and Mempho Fest. It’s your chance to see the future of Memphis music for free - and you can say “I saw them when . . .”
