Headlining the show is Racing Mount Pleasant (formerly known as Kingfisher), a seven-piece indie rock band hailing from Detroit. All band members are alumni of University of Michigan’s School of Music, and have performed at many notable venues around Ann Arbor and Detroit. The band consists of Sam Dubose on guitar and vocals, Connor Hoyt on alto saxophone, Sam Uribe-Botero on tenor saxophone, Callum Roberts on trumpet, Kaysen Chown on fiddle and guitar, Tyler Thendstedt on bass and Casey Cheatham on drums.

Opening for Racing Mount Pleasant this year is Trillium Groove, a Northern Michigan trio consisting of Skylea Martin, Keagan Kalbfleisch and Ruby Bardenhagen. All three are vocalists and instrumentalists who use their songwriting as a means to explore themes of mental health, self reflection and emotional healing. The band formed as the trio studied together in NMC's Audio Tech program. Joining their performance this year is drummer Aaron Rossan, another Audio Tech alumni, and bassist Abi Umstead.

This concert is produced entirely by NMC Audio Tech students as an experiential learning project. During production, students are involved in sound mixing, stage managing and audio and video recording.
