Bucolic Valley

We had seen Rahill a few times with Habibi, but we saw our first Rahill set as she and her band opened for Allah-Las in Woodstock last summer. We knew at the end of that set that she'd be a perfect fit for the psych fest, and we're so excited that she's playing Bucolic Valley!

Give Rahill's album "Flowers At Your Feet" a listen, check out her fantastic "Bahar" single that came out earlier this year, and give our official playlist a listen to hear Rahill and all of the other seven bands on the lineup.

When The Mystery Lights finished their set on the main stage at King Gizzard's Field of Vision last summer, we knew that they were the perfect band to headline Bucolic Valley. We'd had the pleasure of seeing them play back home in New York and out to Austin Psych Fest, too, and we cannot wait to see them headline our fest on the outdoor stage at the West Kortright Center on August 22. Get your tickets to this intimate one-day, eight-band psych fest at the link in bio!

If you're new to the Mystery Lights, all three of their albums on Wick Records are fantastic, and so is the 7" that they released on p(doom). Our official playlist, which is on Apple Music and Spotify, has plenty of their music throughout, and we strongly recommend adding their records to your collection.

Here's to the West Kortright Center for allowing us the opportunity to curate this festival and providing their leadership and expertise in putting all of the pieces together. And a big thank you goes to Sapce Agency Booking for always being willing to chat about this idea and for working with the WKC to book this stellar band.

The Mystery Lights are: Mike Brandon (lead vocals / guitar), LA Solano (lead guitar), Alex Amini (bass), Lily Rogers (keys), and Zach Butler (drums).
