Meet the 2025 Artists

We’ve scoured the music scene far and wide—from the streets of New York to the hills of Ireland—to bring you a lineup that’s fresh, genre-spanning, and full of discovery. Each band plays two sets on two different stages, offering a fresh experience every time. Artists camp with us all weekend, so don’t be surprised if you see them at the pool, in the dining hall, or jamming at a cabin late-night.

Barnaby Bright

Barnaby Bright crafts cinematic folk-pop with rich harmonies, poetic lyrics, and the kind of intimacy that hushes a room and leaves hearts a little fuller.

Boys Go To Jupiter

Boys Go To Jupiter deliver high-energy, horn-filled sets packed with humor, heart, and indie-pop storytelling that turns every show into a full-on, can't-miss spectacle.

Gráinne Hunt

Hailing from Ireland, Gráinne Hunt brings smoky vocals and heartfelt songwriting to the alt-country/folk scene, bridging Celtic soul with Nashville storytelling.

Low Down Brass Band

Chicago’s LowDown Brass Band fuses New Orleans brass, hip hop, soul, and reggae into a high-octane live show that feels like a second-line parade crossed with a block party.

The Free Label

Toronto’s The Free Label brings slick funk, R&B swagger, and non-stop energy—an irresistible dance party wrapped in falsetto hooks and groove-heavy jams.

The Rumble

The Rumble brings the thunder straight outta New Orleans. Made up of six Grammy-nominated artists and members of the Black Masking Indian tradition, their sound is a fierce blend of funk, hip-hop, and streetwise soul layered with ancestral rhythm and spiritual pride. It’s a movement as much as a band—and when they hit the stage, they don’t just play, they proclaim.
