For this episode of the Ghost Canyon Fest podcast, Brian and Sean are joined by Dustin Travis White of American Motors. Their debut album Content was recorded by the legendary J. Robbins at Magpie Cage and is a must-listen for fans of Can-inflected post-punk and evocative lyrics about abandoned spaces and hollowed-out Americana. We talked to Dustin about meeting strangers in parking lots to buy music gear, the genius of Dave Berman and much more. American Motors will kick off the insanely stacked Sunday evening lineup of this year's fest at Hi-Dive. Single-event and weekend passes are available now at ghostcanyonfest.com/tickets

Content (2024) was a co-release from The Ghost Is Clear and Expert Work records.

For this episode of the Ghost Canyon Fest podcast, Jeremy and Sean are joined by Zachary Visconti and Gail McDonald-Crook of the Fort Collins indie rock collective safekeeper. A staple of the great Denver music scene, safekeeper began in 2018 as the brainchild of Zach and childhood friend Matt Scorca. Over the years the band has evolved across multiple incarnations, all built around Zach's songwriting and production talents. From slacker rock anthems to lo-fi bedroom pop to spacey instrumental collages, safekeeper embodies the adventurous DIY spirit of the fest and we're thrilled to have them on this year.

safekeeper's most recent release is 2024's Halloweekender EP

For this episode of the Ghost Canyon Fest podcast, Sean is joined by multi-hyphenate performance artist, guitarist and vocalist Meredith Haines of Chicago's Latter. Emerging from musical ideas that she recorded solo before linking up with drummer Jon Alvarado, this duo has exploded onto the Chicago noise rock scene and we're thrilled to be bringing them to the fest.

Latter's debut album "My Body Is My Sickness" is available now and "Hope You Love Her," the first single from their next release will debut on June 17th.

For the inaugural episode of the Ghost Canyon Fest podcast, Jeremy and Sean are joined by Devin Rombough (vocals) and Matt Rinehart (bass) of Denver's own Suicide Cages. Formed when guitarist Mhyk Monroe began passing demos to Devin during the early days of the COVID pandemic and later joined by drummer Andrew Richo and former bassist Thom McLoughlin, they've quickly become an unstoppable force. Blending mind-bendingly tight metalcore riffage and outspoken, no-bullshit progressive values, Suicide Cages are already an institution in the Denver heavy music scene and we're thrilled to chat with them.

Suicide Cages' new EP "Live Without" will be released on July 7, 2025 through Braeburn Records.
