Peter Liu is a NYC-based stand-up comic with a passport full of stamps and a set full of punchlines. Raised in China, Australia, New Zealand, New Jersey and New England, Peter brings an outsider’s eye and an insider’s charm to every stage he steps on.

His comedy mixes sharp observations, wild family stories, and just the right amount of chaos. Whether he’s roasting cultural norms, navigating relationships, or unpacking life with his wonderfully weird relatives, Peter keeps the crowd laughing and guessing the whole way through.

He’s performed at top venues like The Wilbur, The Gramercy, Don’t Tell Comedy, The Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, and more. He’s also hit festivals across the country—from SF Sketchfest and New York Comedy Festival to Boston, Boulder and Rogue Island. Along the way, he’s opened for renowned acts like Ronny Chieng, Joe Wong and Jason Leong.

Basically, if you like your comedy smart, personal, and a little unhinged—Peter’s your guy.

Vinnie Guidera & The Dead Birds are an indie rock trio based in Northern CA. The band are touring the West Coast in support of their third studio album, Afterimage, which was praised in the Sacramento Bee for its "deliberately forged grooves" and "spacious, brain-twisting instrumentals. With an acoustic guitar plugged into a Marshall halfstack, their dynamic, textured arrangements occupy a unique sonic space, with comparisons ranging from Iron & Wine to Dinosaur Jr.

Miracle Man is the new power pop project from Seattle local Blake Turner, formerly of North West staples Regress and New You. On the heels of their debut EP, Cool World, Miracle Man aims to debut their anthemic hooks and big chords this September.

Breakneck Love is an alt-rock/pop-punk band from Everett, WA led by longtime friends and music collaborators Gio Recchi and Sawyer Thompson. Focused on writing catchy songs about big emotions, their new album Aestivation captures the moody vibe of the Pacific Northwest and the nature it's known for and uses it to work through a range of emotions and mental health challenges.
