Known around St. Louis for their use of loop pedals and onstage chemistry, West End Junction is an alternative folk duo from St. Louis, MO, comprised of Cara Ristau (vocals, keys, and percussion) and Dan Ristau (guitar). The pair met in 2014 in a south St. Louis apartment jam session through mutual friends. Unable to stay away from the music that brought them together, they created the name West End Junction in 2019. Their music, heavily influenced by folk, Americana, and indie country, has been described as "haunting" by Gesso Magazine and "ethereal" by Grateful Web. Lyricist Cara Ristau's words often reflect themes around social justice and spiritualism with a particular focus on climate change.

Jumpin' blues and vintage R&B
Saint Louis based jump blues band Robbie & his Rockin' Fools has been entertaining audiences since 2013 with their signature mix of danceable jump blues and early rock n roll.
Led by charismatic and irreverent guitar player Robbie, their sound evokes mid century dance halls and juke joints filled with honking tenor sax, jangly piano, swinging drums and doghouse bass.
With guitar, accordion, harmonica, mandolin, keyboards, percussion, and electronic sounds, what makes the Xceptions exceptional is their unique song list. Listeners are treated to a wide variety of music that other bands never cover - the “deep album cuts” that we are all familiar with but rarely hear - by artists ranging from Nat King Cole to Hank Williams, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Steppenwolf, Rag’n Bone Man, and even Donna Summer. This dynamic trio always leaves the audience with smiles.
