Jon Camp is a fingerstyle guitarist and composer based out of the DC region. Jon blends melody, twang, and drone into a cohesive whole that is exploratory without forsaking the hook. Jon will be celebrating his new record, Proceed, out October 17th through Centripetal Force Records. Proceed is a full-band affair that is electric, expansive, and emotionally muscular, channeling a spirit of forward motion amidst the weight of memory and uncertainty. For Jon's Rhizome set, he'll be joined by regular collaborators Dave Jones (The Caribbean), Julian Comanda (Visitors), Scott Verrastro (Kohoutek, Jeffrey Alexander & The Heavy Lidders), and some guests.

Marian McLaughlin is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. She toured extensively in the United States and the UK, released four studio albums, and performed an NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert. She was a Strathmore Artist-in-Residence in 2015 and led an ensemble for the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage series in 2018. McLaughlin was a featured guest for WTMD’s Baltimore Hit Parade and recorded a live set in their studio. McLaughlin most recent album, Alcove, is a compilation of peaceful songs inspired by time spent outside gardening and walking in the woods. The album highlights the joy and gratitude felt from witnessing simple yet transcendental moments in nature, like watching the golden hour, fireflies emerging, a hummingbird zipping by, or two hawks flying overhead.

Dura is the solo project of DC's Mattson Ogg, comprising blissed out guitar picking and groovy tremolo drones. Through cassette releases on Patient Sounds, Scissor Tail, Atlantic Rhythms, and most recently Aural Canton, Dura is always trying to find a lower way to listen.
