RAGING BRASS: Raging Brass is a 7-piece Afro-Caribbean ensemble from Southern Maine.

This eclectic group was established in 2014 by trumpeter and bandleader Marc Chillemi in Southern Maine.

GRASSHOLES: The World Famous Grassholes play high-energy bluegrass (yes, a little bit like that Billy Strings guy, but also like Greensky and Leftover Salmon and Mighty Poplar, etc.), a mix of original compositions, classics, and cool covers. It’s good for dancing and nodding your head and tapping your feet, and meant to be enjoyed with friends and family. Part of a long legacy of performers that goes back to 2000, the Grassholes feature the Bangor Symphony's Heather Kahill on fiddle, Merrill Marsh and Sam Pfeifle on guitars, Flann O’Brien on the stand-up bass, and Field Rider on Banjo and harmonica. Everybody sings a bit here and there, and they hope you sing along when you feel like it.
LOLABELLE (LEAF Artist Showcase): Lolabelle is an alt-rock band hailing from West Buxton. A group of neighbors gathered in a shared basement in 2024, bringing together the unlikely pairing of musicians from the diverse worlds of opera, jazz, indie rock, and grunge. Over the past year of performing the band’s sound has evolved, combining heavy hooks with strong vocals. The result is a dynamic and dense live show that’s both bittersweet and deeply visceral. Lolabelle is Stephen Bennett (guitar), Kurt Fedora (bass), Gene Gill (drums), and Caroline Homer
MELVIN GRADIZ (LEAF Artist Showcase): Melvin Gradiz was born in Miami, Florida, and has been drawn to music for as long as he can remember.

THOMAS CHARLES CLUKEY (LEAF Artist Showcase): Thomas Charles Clukey grew up in rural Maine, where music first found him through classic country radio, school bands, and time spent singing with his dad. Though he spent years working with his hands in welding and manufacturing, songwriting remained a quiet constant in the background. In recent years, that spark has grown into a full-blown pursuit—leading to award-winning songs, local performances, and the release of his first singles as he works toward his debut album.

They draw influences from modern and classic progressive metal/rock, nu metal, mathrock, hardcore, electronica and more. Their songs contain technical, melodic runs mixed with sprawling, iconic big-chord riffs, the occasional catchy chorus or furiously shouted verse, reinforced by big beautiful bass lines over top bright, tight percussive drums. After releasing two separate EPs in 2021 and 2022, they proudly self-released their first full length debut album titled ’THE MOTHER’ in 2023, followed by a third EP, simply titled ‘EP3’, in 2024.
