Jarboe’s voice and music is known for  versatility and emotional conveyance in bold experimental as  well as melodic diversity and expression.

Over the course of  her life through efforts in past and present disciplines, Jarboe explores the rebuilding / reinventing of identity and  the elemental structures of personae. Highlights from Jarboe’s career include co-fronting, vocals, keyboard performances on stage, studio song arrangements, songwriting. recording in Swans US Tour, London performance and album with Neurosis. Jarboe’s new album will be released by Belgian cult imprint Consouling Sounds in April 2026.

Opening the night is Dead Western, the soundtrack to your fever dreams. Hailing from the “New Weird America,” Troy Mighty sings like an age-old tree—a deep, theatrical timbre channeling love, sorrow, and destruction.
