About this Event
Liam St. John is a Spokane, WA-born, Nashville-based rock and alt-country artist — a blues-tinged singer and songwriter who first turned heads with his viral streamer “Dipped In Bleach” in 2022. Liam has since built a devoted fanbase with chart-topping projects, and his debut full-length studio album Man of the North, released September 2025 via Big Loud Rock, features collaborations with Houndmouth and Grammy winner Molly Tuttle, expanding his sound further into Americana and rock & roll. With 235K+ Instagram followers, a 57-date North American headline tour under his belt, and 2026 international dates including C2C (Country to Country) in Rotterdam, Berlin, and London, Liam is one of the most compelling live performers emerging from Nashville today.
Izzy Mahoubi is a 21-year-old artist from Phoenix. Mahoubi’s songs carry the sonic charm of the Southwest, where she grew up on Stevie Nicks and dreamed up lyrics on the edge of Camelback Mountain. Her sound draws from Tom Petty’s honesty, and the raw vocals of Janis Joplin. Her music speaks to the girls and the ’70s-rock dads alike, blending tongue-in-cheek songwriting and Laurel Canyon-esque pop with the grit and wide-open atmosphere of the desert. That desert grit comes through in a voice that commands every room to lean in, whether she’s performing with a full band or alone with her pawnshop guitar where it all began.
Mahoubi has supported artists including Sawyer Hill, Em Beihold, and Adam Melchor, while sharing bills with The Lumineers and Mt. Joy. Accidentally stumbling into some 90s grunge virality, Izzy posted a “Southwest Emo” version of a Rage Against The Machine song that has accumulated over 10 million views. She has independently released her version of, “Killing in the Name” coining her singular sound as “Southwest Emo” and “Desert Blues”. Her latest single, “Hound Of The Strays” is out now.
