Zailee Haze, Counterproductive, Canyon Drive & Jake Curran + the Slough

Zailee Haze:

Zailee Haze is a Seattle-based alternative rock band founded in 2022 by front-woman Zailee Truex. The group's sound is characterized by a mix of heavy guitar riffs and hard-hitting rhythms, often drawing comparisons to indie and power pop.

Counterproductive:

Born in the hollow Northwest darkness, Counterproductive is like a scream in an empty cathedral, anguishing life, and death, as if they bore no difference. The band formed in 2016 in Everett, Washington and quickly found their home in Seattle’s DIY scene. Angry and intense, Maniac broke ground in 2023, followed by several memorable shows at Seattle’s favorite venues (Barboza, Cafe Racer, Real Art) and a coast-to-coast crowd surf, playing in backyard and bars from Seattle to San Diego to Connecticut. 

2025 was a huge year for the band as Sperry Falls, their first full-length EP released in May. Hope Josang and Madison Dusseau were added on guitars and a new, explosive yet intimate sound came forward. Combining influences from midwest emo and 2000's hardcore, the band is excited to share their new sound on new stages nationwide in 2026.

Canyon Drive:

Often described as having a “nostalgic” sound - Canyon Drive blends many unique influences to create a one-of-a-kind sound that is danceable but also lyrically driven. Ranging from chill acoustic vibes to high-energy rock, their versatility is highlighted by all three members (Guitar, Bass, Drums) weaving between lead, backup and group singing. Combine that with the banter of some ol’ college buds and a kickass visual show - Canyon Drive is all about bringing a great time to the stage. They are a Portland, OR based group that feels ‘at home’ from Eugene to Seattle. Canyon Drive is; Ethan Moser (Guitar/Vocals) Patrick Fajardo (Bass/Vocals) Noah Conner (Drums/Vocals) & Jimmy Shrimp (Visuals/Stage).

Jake Curran & the Slough:

Most music is about the beginning of things—the rush of new love—or the end of things—the bitterness of the breakup. Jake Curran & The Slough writes about the middle. The project was born out of a period of profound transition: the birth of children, the settling into a home in the Snohomish County suburbs, and the realization that the most radical thing a person can do is stay. The name "The Slough" is a nod to the tidal marshes of the Northwest; it represents a place of filtration and slow, necessary change. In their latest work, Purgative Ways, Curran explores the concept of "purgation"—the messy, often uncomfortable process of clearing away the ego to make room for what matters. From the driving rhythms of Indie-Rock anthems to the hushed, finger-picked vulnerability of his Americana ballads, the music of The Slough serves as a soundtrack for those navigating the beautiful, exhausting, and holy reality of a life built to last.
