Puddle Jumping & Catfight with opener Milli Bear
For the Puddle Jumping show, your cover charge is a donation to the Cody Cupboard. They’re in need of flour, baking ingredients, and canned or boxed goods. Bring an item and come enjoy the night.
Puddle Jumping is an experimental folk-rock band from Powell, Wyoming, blending lo-fi warmth with surreal storytelling and restless melodic shifts. Led by songwriter Orion LaMar, the band’s music drifts between tender acoustic moments, warped indie rock, and playful left-turns that feel both intimate and unpredictable.
Originally a solo project, Puddle Jumping evolved into a full band with Christian Hayes, Ash Heck, and Cody Champlin, shaping a collaborative sound influenced by artists like Alex G, Ween, Beck, and Prosperity Lanes. Their releases—There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly (Deluxe Edition) (2023), Philosophical Ultra-Snails Reincarnating in Egypt (2024), and Prancing Towards Milk & Honey (2025, with Prosperity Lanes)—highlight a steady growth in scope while staying rooted in a handmade, emotionally direct approach.
Milli Bear is an alternative singer/songwriter who writes imaginatively personal songs with enigmatic lyrics and chaotic stylings, drawing from inspirations as varied as jazz, history, and gothic literature. She self-accompanies on piano and ukulele, playing in a unique and expressive style that defies genre conventions. Whether she’s executing frenzied piano solos or belting out heartfelt anthems, Milli Bear gives a performance full of energy, drama, and feeling that uses music to express what words alone cannot.

Ellis Bullard
$10 on Eventbrite. $15 at the door.
In the wake of 2024’s Honky Tonk Ain’t Noise Pollution, Ellis Bullard has left no doubt that country music is still yearning for the true-blue honky-tonk experience he brings to the stage and studio. Listen to Bullard, and you’re listening to a life of barnstorming,hard living, and layers of musical influences. His 2024 itinerary included headlining shows in dance halls and clubs from coast to coast and top billing at the historic Festival Country De Crappone in France.
Ellis kicked off 2025 at the Mile 0 Festival in Key West this past anuary. “I’m just a person, just a guy out there having a good time and trying to make sure other people are too,” Bullard says. “I give my time to people, and I think that means a lot to them. I’m genuinely trying to forge relationships and have meaningful interactions with all the fans I meet on the road.” After sharing the stage with Texas mainstays like Cody Jinks, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Jason Boland, Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers, and Whiskey Myers, Bullard has become his own. For his part, Bullard knows he’s on to something, and he’s enjoying the ride.

$10 on Evenbrite. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/matt-axton-and-bad-moon-the-colonel-tickets-1983929161528?aff=oddtdtcreator $15 at the door.
Some say rock is dead, but fans of Matt Axton know that Mountain-Soul-Rock & Roll is alive and kicking. This West Coast-based singer/songwriter and band leader’s music is a powerful mix of classic storytelling and guitar-driven roots-rock resulting in a true modern Americana sound. Axton’s distinct baritone voice, unique finger-picker guitar style and wealth of legacy stories lands perfectly in an intimate listening room or a late-night honky-tonk. Axton tours nationally playing large festivals and iconic institutions as well as opening up for acts like Midland, Paul Cauthen, Jim Lauderdale, and Nikki Lane. He has recorded with music legends Steve Feroni (Tom Petty), Hal Cragin (Iggy Pop), Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd) and collaborated on projects such as “Abbey Road Reimaged - A Tribute to the Beatles” where Aaron Badgley of Spill Magazine called Axton’s cover of ‘Octopus’ Garden’ “pure genius.” Axton honors his deep legacy roots at every show with his own versions of his family's #1 hits “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Joy to the World” and many more. Boasting over 300 original songs and founder of the Americana Joy Music Series and Tahoe Joy Festival, Axton proudly continues the family tradition of bringing just a little more musical “Joy to The World.”
JARROD MORRIS
$15 on Eventbrite. $18 at the door.
The Texas-based singer-songwriter spent most of his early twenties in isolation, working hard shoeing horses. This lifestyle laid the groundwork and set the stage for him to write hundreds of songs, eventually leading to an opportunity to record his first full album, ‘West of East’. Emphasizing social media marketing, the records and singles achieved immediate success in the Texas country format, laying a strong foundation for the next chapter of his musical journey. Jarrod aims to capture the free, wild spirit of the American Cowboy, with smooth, memorable melodies and gritty vocals that can range from a sensitive, contemplative, lonely late-night drive to a full-on summertime folk-rock revival. Jarrod's musical influences are wide and it shows, often making formatting and placement difficult. However, this is purposeful. Jarrod believes that the music he is planning to release will appeal to a very broad audience. Fans often use a wide variety of references to describe his style, including Tom Petty, Kacey Musgraves, Ryan Bingham, Sting, John Mellencamp, and Ryan Adams. Jarrod's musical personality can best be described as an indie sound and old soul with a dedicated modern songwriter's heart.
