Magic Tuber Stringband / Tacoma Park / Jon Camp Band
Magic Tuber Stringband, Tacoma Park, and the Jon Camp Band share a bill at Rhizome DC on Saturday, July 11, 2026, offering a evening that spans avant folk, drone/electronic landscapes, and fingerstyle guitar compositions. Magic Tuber Stringband, a North Carolina trio, weaves folk instrumentation with avant-garde composition, drawing from regional traditions and natural histories; their latest album *Heavy Water* is due out May 22 on Thrill Jockey Records. Tacoma Park, also based in North Carolina, performs as a duo blending heavily processed guitars and richly textured synths into what IndyWeek called “homespun monumental” drone music, augmented by video projections; their album *Baltimore* is out on Centripetal Force Records. The Jon Camp Band features the DC-area fingerstyle guitarist and composer, joined by collaborators Dave Jones (guitar), Julian Comanda (bass), and Scott Verrastro (drums/percussion), performing music from his recent full-band album *Proceed* (Centripetal Force Records), which Aquarium Drunkard praised for its intimacy and immediacy.
