A Rivertown tradition in which members of The Crux plus John Courage back up a revolving cast of artists on our beautiful Barn Stage. This year features performances by, Tru Lyric, Maya McNeil, Spike Sikes, Simoné Mosely, Rafael Sarria Bustamante from La Gente SF, and Sierra Camille.

The Crux has appeared as a chain-rattling folk punk crew, an unhinged gospel service, a theatrical film-noir jazz combo, and more... This band is a true North Bay institution with a revolving cast of musicians assembled and coaxed into action by regional impresario Josh Windmiller. Ever-evolving and constantly pushing their own boundaries, The Crux explores the last remaining wild places through music and art.

John Courage is soulful vocals and vast sonic scapes set to the backdrop of a lockstep rhythm section.

Introspective, soul centered hip hop.
