The Black Keys with The Head And The Heart and Jon Muq

Seattle's indie folk band, the Head and the Heart, blends Americana and Beatlesque pop. Known for hits like "All We Ever Knew," they soared on U.S. charts with albums like "Let's Be Still" and "Signs of Light." Formed in 2009, they've signed with Sub Pop and Warner Bros.

Akron's Black Keys, comprising Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, evolved from blues-rock roots into a versatile act. Known for hits "Tighten Up" and "Lonely Boy," they achieved Grammy wins, hit platinum with Brothers, and expanded their sound with producer Danger Mouse. Collaborations include ZZ Top's Billy F. Gibbons and Kings of Leon's Angelo Petraglia. After a hiatus, they returned with Let's Rock in 2019 and the acclaimed Delta Kream in 2021, showcasing Mississippi blues. Frequent collaborators, they've worked with Alice Cooper, releasing "Stay in Your Grave."

Ugandan-born Jon Muq, now in Austin, Texas, blends African and Western music to create reflective, resilient songs. Collaborated with Dan Auerbach; tours with Billy Joel, Norah Jones, Mavis Staples.
