SOU’WESTER EVENTS!

!mindparade is a psychedelic/experimental project that formed in Bloomington, Indiana. Originally the solo bedroom project of Alex Arnold, the live show and recordings are fleshed out by a revolving cast of musicians utilizing electronics and orchestration. !mindparade’s beautiful cacophony of bombast is pleasantly bewildering. Wild flourishes of dreamy psychedelic instrumentation zoom past you in all directions like standing in the middle of a busy intersection.

Currently based in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Micah Subar : Presented by Sou’wester Arts

Micah Subar is a Seattle, Washington based guitar player, singer, songwriter, bassist, producer, and collaborator on an eclectic group of musical projects. His imaginative songwriting tells stories of misadventure and the search for creative freedom through the lens of folk music, yet is delivered with a reverence for classic soul. Micah released his debut LP ‘Daydream Ledger’ in January 2019. This album draws the listener in with a toned-down energy and minimalist aesthetic. He followed this up with the EP ‘For Now,’ a luminous, down-to-earth, modern take on the classic singer-songwriter genre. Micah is currently touring the Pacific Northwest and surrounding areas.

Hayley Lynn : Presented by Sou’wester Arts
Hayley Lynn is a Portland based west coast indie rock artist with folk fashioned storytelling.  Lynn has been quietly growing songs and albums from her hometown over the last five years. Now, with a new album on the horizon, Lynn unveils a twist in her sound with her single “Tail Lights,” a 90s indie-rock throwback that shows us that Lynn’s powerful pop-rock sensibility and bold lyricism is just beginning.

creating a dreamy landscape with unpredictable hooks and turns. Pat’s newest release ‘St. Clare’
showcases his delicate yet raw ability to compose, sing, write, and perform. Prior recordings
