The Clinton Davis String Band has emerged as a compelling new presence in the West Coast old-time music community. This trio of versatile multi-instrumentalists plays a repertoire representing old time, bluegrass, and ragtime traditions from across the country.
The band is led by native Kentuckian Clinton Davis, who has been called “a master...carrying on the traditional music torch of Mike Seeger” by Stefan Grossman, and “simply sublime” by Deering Banjos.
Band member Tim McNalley is a composer, arranger, and songwriter from Southern California. While most seen on the upright and electric bass, he also performs on guitar, keyboards, cello, violin, mandolin, and sitar. He has collaborated with Paul McCartney, Ariana Grande, Adam Melchor, Changuito, Jim Kweskin, Burt Turetzky, among others.
Ryan Finch pursued his love of music starting in his hometown of Bishop, California, then moving to the Bay Area, to Boston, and then back. Focusing on the technical side of music production, Ryan moved to San Diego, where he engineers and produces artists. He performs on piano, guitar, bass, banjo, and mandolin.

A week from now The Blushes will be making their way from the 818 to the 92104 to kick off North Park Music Fest, Friday May 31st! These Valley Girls aren’t your average Dolls… they’ll be taking to the Mini Park Stage at 5PM to F S* 🆙! 🎀 🤘
——
The Blushes are three life-long best friends forever from Los Angeles, California. Taking to the stage with sweet bows and frills, these three Southern California sweethearts electrify with a surprising rawness, calling back the excitement of the early 90’s West Coast music scene. Setting out to inject joy, glitter and hardcore girliness into alternative rock, The Blushes walk in the footsteps of foremothers Bikini Kill, The Shangri-Las, Babes in Toyland, Poly Styrene, Courtney Love, Patti Smith and the Spice Girls - defining their version of intersectional punk-feminism within the Southern California landscape.

Please Ask for Paul is the haunting song that gently drifts through the forgotten woods, where the night is long and the shadows whisper. Propelled by their signature moon-jeweled vocals, atmospheric guitar & driving rhythms, the group offers their brand of ethereal indie rock that is both foreign and familiar. Surreptitiously blending celestial dreamscapes with restless angst, San Diego based- PAFP is the resulting spectral equinox between two kindred spirits seeking company within their songs. Their upcoming EP “The Realm of Hungry Ghosts” is slated for an October release and you can listen to its first single “The Dove” - out now—- and Friday, May 31st at North Park Music Fest!!

Enjoy an amazing weekend of music and art in San Diego's coolest neighborhood!
While often described as a jazz duo, that hardly encapsulates the genre-bending sounds of the twin-brother band The Mattson 2. For more than a decade, Jonathan and Jared Mattson have recorded songs that gleefully dance between jazz, psychedelic and more, collaborating with fellow experimentalists like Chaz Bundick (aka Toro y Moi) along the way. Watch the Mattsons do their thing on stage next weekend at North Park Music Fest.
