Festival Music

Facilitated by globally recognized drummer, Mark Clark, this drum circle will enable participants to create rhythms in a safe space that is inclusive and non-judgmental. No experience necessary!

In addition to the festival's mission to raise much needed funds for this amazing organization, festival goers will be treated to original songs written and performed by Soldier Songs and Voices leaders and participants. What an honor to witness Santa Fe veterans telling their stories through the songs they've written!

NDVRS
NDVRS
We love it when alumni of our globally award-winning Summer Rock Camp and Rock School go on to do great things in music. NDVRS has certainly made their own name in New Mexico and we're so proud of this all-girl alumni. We're thrilled to have them play our festival stage!
NDVRS is an indie pop group from Santa Fe, NM bringing high energy and audience-captivating performances to every show. Blending familiar sing-along covers with creative originals - this band knows how to entertain. These young musicians instantly capture your attention with their vibrant musical souls and astound with surprising control of their instruments that reach far beyond their age. Audience members have described NDVRS as "refreshing and excellent musicianship," "upbeat music that people of all ages can dance and sing along to," and "a band with an amazing feel-good vibe with shows that can be enjoyed by everyone."

Pappy O'Daniels
Porch Time Band
Pappy O'Daniel's Porch Time Band
Born from our weekly, Pappy O'Daniel's Porch Time Jam, this traditional music-themed band will perform songs everyone can sing and dance along to. Banjos, fiddles, stand up bass, mandolins, guitars and more, this band is an exquisite aftershock of the old time music dating back to the 1920s.

The High Vibes
The High Vibes
The High Vibes are an Alternative Rock band formed in early 2018 in the mountainous desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Jake Reynolds (guitar/vocals), Saunj (bass/vocals), Justin Reynolds (keys/synth/upright bass/szechuan sauce) and Marcus Newell (drums) are the North, West, East and South that direct this band of high vibing frequencies and groovy beats. They are always exploring new realms of sonic bliss with lyrical ideas that promote one love, peace and the expansion of consciousness.

Sabbath
Sabbath impeccably covers songs of the iconic pioneers of heavy metal music, Black Sabbath. Performing tunes from the early Ozzy years, Sabbath resurrects the ethos for a highly relevant experience for today's audiences. Delivering the exquisite mayhem of Black Sabbath from the stage, are band members Chris Riggins (guitar), James Donald Stuart III (bass), Tom Valencia, (guitar), Jake Pruitt (vocals), Jessie Otero (drums) and guest musician, Freddy Lopez (harmonica).

John Francis and the Poor Clares
Warm melodies, rich harmonies and heartwarming rhythms. The Poor Clares are a trio of musical friends committed to crafting original songs into familiar favorites. Classic Americana finds a new voice in Santa Fe.
