Scott Pemberton O Theory with Ten Foot Tiger

Scott Pemberton O Theory with Ten Foot Tiger

Get ready to dance your socks off with Scott Pemberton O Theory’s infectious dance music. It’s funky, surfy, rock at its finest, and it’s propelled by Scott’s virtuosic guitar playing! Scott is an emerging force on the festival circuit, with his wild approach to the guitar and nimble funky band he is immediately recognizable and undeniably original. The mastery of his guitar playing combined with the fun recklessness of his songwriting show that the rules of songwriting and playing the guitar no longer exist for him.

Since it’s inception, Ten Foot Tiger has adapted and evolved into one of Sacramento’s most unique bands. With a sound beyond traditional categories, they’ve found themselves absorbed into the jam-band scene, although they stand well outside that label with their catchy indie-pop like tunes. They have poignant and provocative songs as well as powerful improvisations that stem from so many genres there’s “something for everyone” says frontman Dan Green. But it is unmistakable that their exhilarating live performances make Ten Foot Tiger a must see for any music lover.

Mini Trees and Flume St. Station

Stroll through the Thursday market and then head over to Lost on Main for Mini Trees with Flume Street Station. It’s gonna be a vibe.

Mini Trees' lush, introspective indie pop/rock is the creation of California musician Lexi Vega. Using the alias Mini Trees, her first song, "Take It Back," appeared in July 2018, combining elements of angsty indie rock and melancholy bedroom pop. Although still warm and introspective, Vega’s newer music has reflected an effort by Vega to achieve a more pop-oriented sound that was helped along by the addition of guests like Zac Rae (Deathcab for Cutie) and James McAlister (Sufjan Stevens, Ester Drang).

Rooted in rich harmonies and heartfelt songwriting, Flume St. Station is a three-piece folk-indie-americana group blending mandolin, guitar, and lap steel into a sound that's as timeless as it is fresh. As Chico natives and loved personalities in the community, they were all great friends before the band organically formed. Their on-stage chemistry radiates the joy and passion for life they each walk with, creating a welcoming and electric atmosphere wherever they play. With a mix of original tunes and handpicked classics from their favorite artists, their performances deliver a vibrant blend of soul, storytelling, and toe-tapping energy that leaves audiences smiling and buzzing with energy.
