Flow Tribe

Get ready to move: Flow Tribe is making their triumphant return to the BMF stage for the first time since their legendary 2019 appearance. Hailing from New Orleans, this powerhouse outfit has built a devoted following on a simple promise: relentlessly fun, high-energy live shows. Their signature sound pulls from deep-pocket funk, rock, psychedelia, and jam-band traditions, all wrapped in the undeniable, joyful spirit of a true NOLA street party. If you were there for their last BMF set, you already know. If you're new, consider this your warning: DO NOT MISS.

Making Movies

Blending Latin American influences with psychedelic rock, funk, and cinematic songwriting, Making Movies has built a reputation for powerful live performances that feel both deeply personal and wildly celebratory. Their shows move effortlessly between hypnotic grooves, explosive jams, and emotional storytelling, all while creating the kind of shared energy that feels tailor-made for a weekend in the mountains.

Slap Dragon

Slap Dragon is one of those bands that feels impossible to neatly categorize, which is probably exactly the point. Led by bassist Scott Mulvahill and vocalist Laura Berens, the Nashville-based group blends bluegrass chops, soul vocals, deep grooves, improvisation, and joyful energy into something completely their own. Their live shows feel playful, communal, and deeply musical in a way that pulls all kinds of listeners into the same orbit by the end of the night.

Griffin Sherry

We’re thrilled to welcome Griffin William Sherry back to BMF. Many of you may remember him from 2018, when he joined us with his former band, The Ghost of Paul Revere. Since then, Griffin has continued carving out a deeply personal path as a songwriter, creating music filled with warmth, honesty, and timeless Americana storytelling. There’s an intimacy to his songs that feels perfectly suited for BMF, and we’re excited to welcome Griffin back to The Lair once again, this time in a whole new way.

2/3rds of a Threesome

2/3 of a Threesome is not your typical festival booking… which is exactly why they belong at BMF! Created by real-life partners Caitlin Cook and A.J. Holmes (Broadway's The Book of Mormon and director of Caitlin’s solo show above), this powerhouse duo blends razor-sharp comedy, stellar musicianship, and gloriously awkward storytelling into a live experience that feels both hilariously chaotic and deeply human. It’s musical comedy with genuine heart, and just enough unpredictability to keep everyone on their toes. With just one performance over the weekend, this is likely to become one of those “were you there?” BMF moments not to miss.

Bumpercar

Meet Bumpercar, the magnetic duo of Jason Ewald and Devon Yesberger—a fresh and funky pair with classic, old-school soul and a love for the unexpected. Jason’s rich vocals and deep-pocket drumming perfectly pair with Devon’s cosmic piano and bass to create a sound that’s playful, nostalgic, and authentically human. Their original songs are pure feel-good energy, backed by the kind of effortless, live chemistry that pulls you right into the present moment and keeps you smiling long after the final note. For OG BMFers: Devon may look (and sound) familiar! He first graced the Lair back in 2016 with Caleb Hawley, and returned in 2017 with his band Lohai. We are thrilled to welcome him home.

The Writing On The Stall

Music isn't the only thing you'll discover at BMF. We are thrilled to welcome Caitlin Cook's acclaimed Off-Broadway one-woman musical comedy, The Writing on the Stall. A massive hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, the show went on to spark multiple sold-out runs at New York's iconic Soho Playhouse and London’s Soho Theatre. Confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny, this one-of-a-kind show—literally set in a dive bar bathroom—transforms graffiti scrawled all over the bathroom stalls into the lyrics of Caitlin's original songs and the trail markers along a hilarious and heartfelt journey. Experience an internationally acclaimed, New York Times Critic’s Pick in our own intimate, mountain stage. Laugh, think, and look at bathrooms in a whole new light.
