Pigeon Pit

Crazy Arms is the 5th LP by Olympia, WA country/punk poets Pigeon Pit, and their first since becoming a nationally touring 6-piece band. It's a melodic call to action for folks who listen to both Bright Eyes and CRASS. A night at the Ryman on slow-burn psychedelics and the dreams you choose to think out loud at sunrise. Crazy Arms is the sound of a band hitting their stride, comfortable in the chaos, letting you know you aren't alone.

Walter Etc

The eclectic musical project of California's Dustin Cole Hayes. FKA Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra, Dustin has been touring and releasing music for over a decade with a DIY ethic and unorthodox career moves. His sound formed a unique niche characterized by honest lyrics, jangly instrumentation, and home recording charm. Although their DIY ethic and nonchalant attitude kept them away from press and under the radar for five years, the band's four LP's developed a devout cult following.

Cheap Dirty Horse

Cheap Dirty Horse are a 6-piece queer-trash folk-punk band from Nottingham, UK. There are usually six of them and they are horses. They have a banjo, an acoustic guitar and an accordion, but also an electric guitar, a bass, and a drum kit. They write songs about stealing things, trans rights, and octopuses. Their friend Cloughster once said, 'I may have never got to see Bomb the Music Industry! live, but at least I got to see Cheap Dirty Horse.' This is actually true but if it wasn't they still would've put it in this bio.

Boom Boom Racoon

A scrappy, anarcho-acoustic DIY ska punk trio from Bristol. They describe themselves as 80% politics, 30% nonsense, and enjoy singing about everything from the Simpsons to biscuit heists to anti-fascism!

Boogedy Smak

Kingston Upon Thames based 4-piece metal inspired acoustic folk punk. This lot are entrancing with a blend of acoustic guitars, cello and powerful vocals. Their 2022 album 'To New Beginnings' is a staple of the Firejam playlist and we honestly cannot wait to bring them to this party.
