7:00pm The Aces
Alternative Pop, Indie Rock| Provo, Utah
(This sister-duo and friends lead single, “Daydream,” has 35 million streams. Their sound is often compared to bands like HAIM, The 1975, and Chappell Roan)
Hailing from Provo, Utah, The Aces were formed by then pre-teen sisters Cristal and Alisa Ramirez (lead vocals/guitar and drums), Katie Henderson (lead guitar/vocals), and McKenna Petty (bass). The members of the group were longtime friends, and it didn’t take long for them to click as songwriters and musicians. Known for their infectious melodies & emotional honesty, the group has released 3 LP’s where they’ve solidified their sound and space in music. With their latest single release, “The Magic”, The Aces have reached new pop heights and build on their many previous successes. To date, the group has earned over 250 million career streams; their third LP, Under My Influence alone garnered more than 80 million (including 41 million across DSPs on its lead single ‘Daydream’). Furthermore, The Aces have toured with the likes of 5 Seconds of Summer, X Ambassadors, The Vamps, and COIN, and have played at festivals all over the world,
including NY Pride, Lollapalooza, Firefly, Bonnaroo, OUTFEST, Sziget, Pukkelpop and more. In 2024, they opened for Chappell Roan at Kentucky Pride and recently completed a US tour with Goth Babe – rapidly becoming one of pop’s most exciting and authentic voices.
5:30pm Pluck
Growing up in the countryside of Livingston County, Pluck is a living experiment that proves the collective love of music shared by childhood friends can and will continue to bring light into the lives of friends, family, and strangers alike. Influenced by the songwriting of local bands, vintage records, and a constant stream of indie, alternative, shoegaze, bluegrass, folk, and the almighty Led Zeppelin, we have taken an unspoken oath to create music as a collaborative effort that connects with our feelings and collective life experiences. Fearlessly pushing ourselves to grow as musicians, Pluck has found a space free of expectations, rules, and genre boundaries. We live for the hook and the ability to communicate the contents of our hearts.
Carried by the rhythmic constancy of Benjamin Chesnes on the drums and Alyssa Zaso on bass, Javan Levey (lead guitar) and Brock Saltsman (guitar & vocals) have been privileged to expand and flourish melodically in a perpetual duet of soulful riffs and heartfelt lyricism. Pluck tells stories of love, struggle, and growing pains through performance, and promises to never stop living untethered, unapologetically, and for your entertainment.
