**Butch Bastard** is the moniker of Ian Murray (he/him), a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer crafting literate, emotionally resonant music. Originally hailing from Seattle and now based in Los Angeles, Murray’s work as Butch Bastard reflects a deep commitment to narrative songwriting, melodic sophistication, and a quietly defiant independence. **Dixie**\-the first solo effort of Father John Misty’s guitar man, Chris Dixie Darley-presents an entirely new standard. Upbeat harmony-driven rockers that are as impressive for their miusical acumen as they are for their sheer enjoyability. “Heartache”, the first single off of Dixie’s upcoming LP (due Fall 2025) is struck of frill and entirely without lull. Think NRBQ with and Brinsley Schwartz go to Bakersfield. Doors at 8 PM $15 adv + DICE fees / $20 at the door ($11.25 for Initiate members, $7.50 for Sponsor members, $0 +1 for Patron members, www.healingforcerecords.com/memberships)
