About of Montreal:
Led by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Barnes, of Montreal have spent nearly three decades redefining pop, with their kaleidoscopic blend of glam rock, psychedelia, funk, and synth-driven indie rock. Emerging from the Elephant 6 Recording Company in the late ’90s, the band quickly built a cult following for their inventive songwriting and wildly theatrical live performances.
From the breakthrough brilliance of Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? to a steady run of boundary-pushing releases, of Montreal have remained fearless sonic shapeshifters—equally at home crafting hook-laden anthems as they are exploring surreal, experimental textures. The band’s prolific output has led to numerous late-night TV appearances—including The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon—and brilliant collaborations with artists such as Solange, Janelle Monáe, and Jon Brion.
On stage, they transform concerts into immersive spectacles of color, costume, and cathartic energy. The band has performed across the globe, gracing festival stages at Coachella, Primavera, Lollapalooza, Vive Latino among dozens of others and headlining countless marquee venues, while also amassing hundreds of millions of streams worldwide. With a new tour on the horizon, of Montreal continue to celebrate their legacy while pushing boldly forward—delivering a live experience that is as unpredictable and electrifying as ever.
About The Crane Wives:
Born out of the 2010s folk boom and now comfortably settled into their rock-and-roll era, The Crane Wives embody the evolving landscape of indie folk. Known for high-energy live performances “charged with emotion and technical skill” (Blurred Culture LA), the band pairs harmony-dense melodies with deeply resonant lyrics that explore both the vulnerable and the uncomfortable sides of the human experience.
The Crane Wives have built a devoted global following, with over 1.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify and more than 150 million streams across their most popular songs. Their audience spans far beyond the U.S., reaching listeners in the U.K., Australia, Germany, Brazil, Poland, Mexico, and the Philippines. The band has been featured by Michigan Radio and NPR’s All Songs Considered.
In September 2024, The Crane Wives released their sixth full-length studio album, Beyond Beyond Beyond, to widespread acclaim. Glasse Factory praised the record as “a testament to the band’s ability to turn personal struggles into universally relatable anthems,” while Niner Times described it as “angsty, haunting, and gritty,” noting its departure from the band’s earlier, more traditional folk sound. Since its release, Beyond Beyond Beyond has accumulated over 24 million streams on Spotify.
The band’s driving pulse comes from Ben Zito (bass) and Dan Rickabus (drums), creating a dynamic foundation beneath co-leads Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury, whose electric guitars engage in expansive, gritty conversation. A web of three-part harmony softens the emotional weight of their songwriting, balancing intensity with warmth and cohesion.
With six full-length albums under their belts, The Crane Wives have performed more than 600 shows across the United States, sharing stages with artists such as The Avett Brothers, Lake Street Dive, Rusted Root, The Dead South, Joseph, and many more.

In September 2024, The Crane Wives released their sixth full-length studio album, Beyond Beyond Beyond, to widespread acclaim. Glasse Factory praised the record as “a testament to the band’s ability to turn personal struggles into universally relatable anthems,” while Niner Times described it as “angsty, haunting, and gritty,” noting its departure from the band’s earlier, more traditional folk sound. Since its release, Beyond Beyond Beyond has accumulated over 24 million streams on Spotify.
The band’s driving pulse comes from Ben Zito (bass) and Dan Rickabus (drums), creating a dynamic foundation beneath co-leads Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury, whose electric guitars engage in expansive, gritty conversation. A web of three-part harmony softens the emotional weight of their songwriting, balancing intensity with warmth and cohesion.
With six full-length albums under their belts, The Crane Wives have performed more than 600 shows across the United States, sharing stages with artists such as The Avett Brothers, Lake Street Dive, Rusted Root, The Dead South, Joseph, and many more.
