The Bones of J.R. Jones is our last, but definitely not least, closer for ORMF26! We are excited to jam with these guys, hopefully you all freshen up with their jams so we can have an epic finale!!!

Radio Waves is Jonathon Linaberry’s attempt to reconnect with the spark that first made him fall in love with music — the late‑night thrill of waiting by a radio, the mystery of discovery, the feeling that a song could change everything. After years of touring and the overwhelming pace of modern music culture, he wanted to strip things back and rediscover that sense of wonder.
Working with producer Robbie Lackritz in Toronto, Linaberry built the album around simple, lo‑fi foundations: drum machines, fingerpicked guitars, and retro synths. The result is a moody, nocturnal blend of ’80s/’90s textures and raw, vulnerable performances. The songs feel like memories you can almost touch — imperfect, emotional, and honest.
Lyrically, the album digs into youth, identity, and the complicated relationship we have with our past. Instead of romanticizing “the good old days,” Linaberry examines how our understanding of those years shifts over time. The tracks explore first loves, heartbreaks, bad decisions, long drives, loneliness, and the lingering question of who we might have become.
Across the record — from the tender “Car Crash” to the restless “Drive” and the self‑interrogating “Shameless” — Linaberry chases the feelings that shaped him. Radio Waves suggests that those emotions never disappear; they just drift around us, waiting to be tuned in again.

The Sweet Lillies are returning for another epic show on Saturday July 25 at 7pm!
The Sweet Lillies' music is first and foremost heartfelt and collaborative. Those
defining traits are given life by the quartet of musicians who make up the Lillies.
Together they have combined their individual strengths to deliver powerful narratives of life in song. With their lineup of guitar, viola, upright bass, drums, washboard, djembe and ethereal vocal harmonies that float like a dream, the Sweet Lillies' music has a hard hitting original flavor with a forward looking eye. They have incorporated
all of their cumulative life experiences into their music, songwriting and artistry, crafting an
uncommonly beautiful style which is a nod to the band’s all encompassing musical
tastes and willingness to experiment with genres ranging from folk and rock al
l the way

Sicard Hollow is going to close out our Friday night jams! They'll be on stage at 9pm on July 24!
Sicard Hollow is a four-piece progressive bluegrass band who formed with a mutual passion for pushing the boundaries of genre. Heavily influenced by the Grateful Dead and New Grass Revival, these young pickers bring new energy to a timeless style with a combination of fearless improvisation and instrumental prowess.
Nashville’s psychedelic punk-grass rockers, Sicard Hollow, grew up sick of any existing institution telling them who and what to be. Now, as they navigate adulthood, they’re equally tired of the music institutions telling them what their music should sound like—so they dunked it in patchouli and a skate-and-destroy ethos that brings an enduring sound into the modern age.
Before the band met in 2018, none of the members ever considered playing bluegrass. Matt Rennick (violin) was working on electronic music, Will Herrin (mandolin/vocals) was playing guitar in rock bands, and Alex King (guitar/vocals) was barely playing music at all. After a few jam sessions, the bluegrass just kind of happened. Since adding Parrish Gabriel (bass) in the Fall of 2019, the band has been on a journey of self discovery within the genre while challenging themselves to make it their own.

are back! They'll be playing Saturday July 25 at 5pm!
Rooted in the wide-open landscapes of Wyoming, The Two Tracks create music that fuses rich storytelling, soulful harmonies, and the spirit of the American West. Led by songwriters Julie and Dave Huebner—with Taylor Phillips on bass and Fernando Serna on drums—the band has carved out a sound that nods to ’70s Americana while forging something entirely their own. Dave’s signature cello playing, woven into the band’s four-part harmonies, brings a distinctive edge that sets them apart.
With four acclaimed albums and tours across the U.S. and abroad—including a performance at the World Expo in Dubai—the band has graced major stages such as Americanafest (TN), Kate Wolf Music Festival (CA), Albino Skunk Music Festival (SC), Red Ants Pants (MT), and NewWestFest (CO). They’ve also shared bills with artists like Orville Peck, Eilen Jewell, The Brothers Comatose, and Shook Twins.
​Their most recent release, It’s a Complicated Life, produced by Will Kimbrough and engineered by Grammy-winner Sean Sullivan, highlights the band’s dynamic range: from Julie’s raw reflections in The Push and The Pull and Dave’s heartfelt Momma’s Gone, to political anthems like Workingman’s Blues and the infectious rocker In the Morning.
At the heart of The Two Tracks is a deep commitment to connection—on stage and on record. Their four-part harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and joyful energy resonate long after the last note, leaving audiences with the sense of having truly shared an experience. Album #5 is already on the horizon, slated for a 2026 release.

are always a good time, they'll be playing Friday July 24 at 3pm!
Liam & Layne are 15-year-old identical twin musicians from rural Wyoming who form an energetic musical duo inspired by the vast landscapes of their home. Their sound blends folk, rock, bluegrass, and Americana, and has been described as "grungy mountain folk".
The brothers' musical journey began in 2021 when they started playing open mic nights in Ten Sleep, WY. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a passion, leading to performances at clubs and festivals, where they shared the stage with acts like The Po' Ramblin' Boys, The White Buffalo, Jalan Crossland, and more.
After their debut EP "Don't Slow Down" in 2024, the brothers released a new full-band EP entitled "The Fight with Time" in summer of 2025.

Wasatch Valley Drifters is a bluegrass, country, and jam band based out of Salt Lake City, UT. The group was founded in 2024 through a variety of bluegrass jams and has evolved to include the highly skilled 6-piece lineup that exists today. Vocal tone and songwriting are two of the things that separate Wasatch Valley Drifters from the pack of bluegrass fusion bands. The band is gearing up for its summer 2026 festival circuit (playing in Utah, Colorado, Idaho, and Montana) and with a weekly residency at RoHa Brewing since 2025, Wasatch Valley Drifters has the ability to bring fans to your venue or festival.

are joining us this year on Saturday July 25 at 1pm!
Hailing from the mountain town of Evergreen, Colorado, The Wrecklunds have been lighting up Front Range stages for nearly a decade with their genre-bending blend of roots, rock, and jam-infused Americana.
Originally formed as an acoustic string band — and earning recognition as RockyGrass Band Competition finalists — The Wrecklunds have evolved into a powerful electric outfit inspired by the late ‘60s and early ‘70s soundscape. Swapping banjo and fiddle for keys and drums has given new life to their catalog of originals and opened the door to a fresh era of songwriting, improvisation, and high-energy live performance.

The Steppers are on stage Friday July 24 at 2pm!
The Steppers are a fast-picking, hard-driving, mind-bending psychedelic string-band out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, blending bluegrass roots with the freewheeling energy of improvisational rock, funk, and folk. With Jake Tobey on guitar and vocals, Theran Lantz on mandolin and vocals, and Lawson Popejoy on bass and vocals, the band has built a sound that gleefully ignores genre lines while honoring the traditions that inspired them. Their music stretches from tender to ferocious, weaving sharp songwriting with adventurous, shape-shifting musicianship that refuses to sit still.
