The Two Tracks

Husband and wife Julie and Dave Huebner write songs that traverse the male and female perspective with emotional and natural images of rural American life. The band cares about lyrics, story, and the power of the song, and every arrangement is designed to fully highlight that direct connection between the song and the listener. Hailing from the eastern side of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming, the band has traversed the country bringing their joyful, unique sound to stages big and small, including Americanafest (TN), Deadwood Jam (SD), Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival (CA), MeadowGrass (CO), Albino Skunk Music Festival (SC), Red Ants Pants Music Festival (MT), Levitt Sioux Falls (SD), LevittAMP Green Bay (WI), Millpond Music Festival (CA), Schellraiser Music Festival (NV), Ashley for the Arts (WI), Beartrap Summer Festival (WY), Sioux River Folk Festival (SD), Music on the Mothership (NM), Oystergrass (WY), and The LAWN (CO), to name a few, and opened for artists such as Orville Peck, Eilen Jewell, Kitchen Dwellers, Black Lillies, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades and more. They recently completed their first international trip, traveling to Dubai for performances at the World Expo.

General Mojo’s

General Mojo's is a high energy alt-psych, art-pop, rock group that specializes in ethereal jams and glossy sonic landscapes, all atop a driving rhythmic backbone. The band includes a rotating cast of Seattle musicians that bring a powerhouse rhythm section of two drummers with dueling guitars, synths, bass, and crystalline vocal melodies that soar over the top. The sonic pallet evokes nostalgia and the undeniable desire to move, while taking one on a journey through time, sound, and spirit. Bassist and lead vocalist Dune Butler leads the band as the primary songwriter and visionary in the center of a whirlwind of ideas brought in by others in the little Mojo community, whether as a band members, muses, supporters, visual artists, etc… “Overall, General Mojo’s creates the type of music that you’d love to have soundtrack a sunny spring day, with sun flares hitting your eyes, and a little bit of mushroom magic swirling in your head.” -Alma Tacoma https://almatacoma.com/alma-tacoma/pnw-indie-sound-at-alma Always ambitious to dive deeper into the mysteries of the human experience through sound, General Mojo’s is truly an example of a musical endeavor in search of pushing against the limits and norms of the alt-psych, pop-art scene.

Some of our favorite Sandpoint silly cats will be ripping up the Matchwood Stage with their best dad jokes and their keytar solos.
