Ora Cogan with Bong Wish
Friday, September 25, 2026
$15 adv / $18 day of
Ora Cogan’s music is alchemical: part instinct, part ritual, and always conjured from the edges where life feels sharpest. With Hard Hearted Woman, she mixes haunted folk, psych rock, and a shadowy strain of country, building a realm where catharsis feels lush, mysterious and vital. Shaken by the tenor of modern life, Cogan pulled in a circle of kindred musicians and made a record shaped by someone who has looked into the abyss and decided, again and again, to choose curiosity.

TASHI DORJI grew up in Bhutan, on the eastern side of the Himalayas. Dorji developed a playing style unbound by tradition, yet with a direct line to intuitive artistry. His recordings feature improvisations that spasmodically grow along tangential, surprising paths. DUNUMS is a collaborative project founded by Sijal Nasralla. Based in NC, shifting players and contributors to the project have recorded, performed, and created in direct response to, albeit humbly in transmission, of events commonly known as "summer in Gaza" or "revolution in Syria." KEITH FULLERTON WHITMAN Starting in the mid-1990's, Keith began exploring electronic music's many facets, eventually yielding dozens of full length albums, singles, remixes, and compilation appearances for influential labels. MEM1 seamlessly blends the sounds of cello and electronics to create a limitless palette of sonic possibilities. LUKE MOLDOF + REN SCHOFIELD Modular synthesis, forced feedback, beats on beats, on beets on beats. get it.

Bella's Bartok: Maybe you had a bad day, and you thought it was unredeemable. Maybe you have a cold and you don’t feel like moving around. Maybe you fancy yourself someone who watches a concert quietly from the back, attentively listening. In a few seconds, it’s not going to matter who you are.
When the Balkan-inspired, circusy sound of Bella’s Bartok hits your ears, you are no longer in control. You are out of your seat bouncing up and down, and soon your arms are flailing and you’re smiling and screaming. Your bad day, your cold, your fatigue have all vanished, and it’s not even the end of the first song.
Bella’s Bartok makes everyone dance, regardless. From living rooms to concert halls the band’s energy makes getting up and moving irresistible. Without fail, someone from the audience comes up after every single show and says the same thing: “I couldn’t help it.” Plus AdapterAdapter and GHOST TOWN REVIVAL
(Members of SASQUATCH AND THE SICK-A-BILLYS).
