Lara Ruggles | @sharkkheartt
In 2025, Tucson, Arizona songwriter Lara Ruggles is touring nationally in support of her new album, Anchor Me. Released on November 15, 2024, Anchor Me has been praised for its “soaring vocals spread across a progressive indie-folk production throughout” (Flex Music Blog) and was #1 most added on the NACC radio Folk chart the week following its release. Raised in the desert outside Tucson, Lara Ruggles’ music draws from her isolated upbringing and introspective spirit. From her early EP Out of an Eggshell (2011) to the electro-pop stylings of her Sharkk Heartt project, Ruggles has continued to evolve as an artist. With Anchor Me, she returns to her indie-folk roots, delivering a vulnerable and heartfelt body of work. Ruggles has shared the stage with grammy winner LeAnn Rimes, spent a month as artist-in-residence at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park with the National Parks Arts Foundation, and won awards for her "Work Fires" music video. She placed 3rd in the Tucson Folk Festival's 2025 Stefan George Memorial Songwriting Competition.
Kid Reverie | @kid_reverie
KID REVERIE is out of Boulder featuring the voice and writing of Steve Varney, pianist/guitarist/banjoist for Gregory Alan Isakov and former leader of the band Glowing House. In September 2018, Varney officially introduced Kid Reverie with a rock record both tender and furious. As an artist with several aesthetic interests, Kid Reverie will ebb and flow throughout time, with a perpetual emphasis on solid songwriting and honesty.
Jacob Russo | @jacobrussomusic
Known for his compelling duality—reserved and thoughtful offstage, yet electric and magnetic on it—Jacob transforms live shows into unforgettable experiences. Performing with a tight 3-piece band, he brings his songs to life with dynamic arrangements, unfiltered passion, and a presence that leaves a lasting impression on every room he plays.
