The Dip is a Seattle-based Rhythm and Blues band known for its poignant songwriting, detailed arrangements, and vintage sound. Featuring a three-piece horn section, their music blends soul, funk, and jazz influences, creating a distinct sonic character that has captivated millions of listeners. Their latest album, Love Direction, follows 2022’s Sticking With It, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Current R&B Albums Chart, marking their continued evolution in sound and storytelling. Rather than straightforward love songs, the album explores the complexities of relationships—navigating challenges, learning to communicate, and growing together. With a history of sold-out headline shows and appearances at major festivals like Bonnaroo and Outside Lands, The Dip is set to bring Love Direction to life on the road, continuing their journey into the depths of love and connection.
Music has been in King Isis' blood for generations. They were taught on the piano of their great-great-grandmother Omega King, one of the first Black opera singers in Chicago. Stifled by years of stringent classic training, they began to explore alternative worlds. A counter-culture weirdo, King Isis creates for those outside the margins.

Formed in the subway systems of Oakland, retro-soul outfit The California Honeydrops are an electrifying group that defy convention at every turn. They’ve become a mainstay at festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest (Australia), Outside Lands, Monterey Jazz, Lightning In A Bottle, and touring with B.B. King, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, and Allen Toussaint. Led by the enigmatic and energetic frontman, Lech Wierzynski, and percussionist Benjamin Malament, each member of the band is a virtuoso in their own rite — Yanos “Johnny Bones” Lustig on saxophone, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards/guitar, Beaumont Beaullieu on drums, Miles Blackwell on bass, and regularly accompanied by Oliver Tuttle on trombone, Leon Cotter on saxophone/clarinet, and Miles Lyons on trombone/sousaphone — navigating through a vast repertoire of original songs and timeless classics every night. But what truly sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to the art of improvisation - a skill so finely honed that they have completely abandoned the use of set lists and no two shows are ever the same. Off stage, their music has been streamed more than 200 million times, and placed in a variety of TV and films, including “Dead To Me,” “Alaska Daily,” “Black-ish” and more. They are currently touring North America in support of their new album, ‘Keep On Diggin’.
