MUSIC SUSAN ALCORN One of the world’s premier pedal steel guitar players, Baltimore-based Susan Alcorn paid her dues in Texas country-and-western bands before expanding the vocabulary of her instrument through her study of 20th-century classical music, visionary jazz, and world musics.

THOR HARRIS Polymath Thor Harris has a Wikipedia page of
instruments played and artists accompanied too long to reference. Considering the atmospheric sound of percussive keyboards and drones he is known for, one would not be remiss for wondering if his spirit has been at T/F all this time just waiting for his body to arrive. Venmo: @littlelindsey
TINY DANIEL We found Tiny Daniel moonwalking on a cloud and singing songs to the stars and immediately began building a ladder tall enough to fetch him down to play for us at T/F. Venmo: @tinydaniel
TITONTON DUVANTE Titonton Duvante is a producer, DJ, record-
label owner (Residual Recordings), event promoter, and all-around arbiter of all things musically funky. Hailing from Ohio, he has been on a mission to provide the world with depth and warmth. Venmo: @titonton-duvante
TRAVIS MCFARLANE The phantom of the opera Travis McFarlane
will once again descend upon the keys of the Missouri Theatre’s impressive, expressive pipe organ. Venmo: @travis-mcfarlane
TRISTAÑO Under the combined influence of jazz legends, hip-hop
maestros, and contemporary beatmakers, this St. Louis three-piece provides a contemplative yet engaging soundtrack to the ebb and flow of the Fest. Venmo: @tristanobeats
ZAP TURA
Don't expect this project of Andrew Jones to fall neatly into any categories. After wading through some psychedelic weirdness, you'll find yourself afloat on poppy goodness and melodies that won't let you go. Venmo: @andrewjonesandrewjones
