State Champion Zanzabar, Saturday, June 22
Ryan Davis and company create country-adjacent indie that can dive into the evocative, melancholy depths of folk or the more visceral aspects of punk. Their latest album, Send Flowers, is a winding, stream-of-conscious roller coaster ride that sounds part Desire-era Dylan with dense wordplay and Scarlet Rivera-like violin and part lingering punk dispositions. Tommy Jays LFS and The Other Years open. Music starts at 8 p.m.

Nicholas Jamerson one half of the now defunct band Sundy Best sings small town hymns about Eastern Kentucky, remembrances of the people and places that impacted his formative years. Tyler Lance Walker Gill opens. Music start at 9 p.m.
