 Jeffrey “Cap’n” Cook has commandeered a combo of old pals (Kevin Wilson, Craig Kuehnert, Andy Sodt, and Adam Dahlquist) from Seattle bands The Ukadelics, Lushy, and Burien for an exotic adventure into the boozy waters of vintage south seas tunes and exotica lounge. 

A jigger of jazz, a splash of the tropics, a dash of humor all shaken together with classic stylings and a strong beat set the tiki mood between relaxation and gotta dance! When you need an escape, this music is like a trip to the place we all really wish we were soaking up the sun, surf and sand.

Known as the “Duchess of Rhythm and Blues”, Angela Tini has been gracing stages for almost 25 years with her commanding vocals that channel the heat, swing and swagger of rhythm & blues, soul and early rock ’n’ roll. 

Renowned for her powerhouse voice, magnetic presence, and unapologetic charm, Angela has carried her music to major stages and international festivals, earning a reputation as a true torchbearer of vintage rhythm & blues. Her solo debut, Have You Met Me Yet? (Rum Bar Records), places her unmistakable voice front and center. She is an artist who doesn’t imitate the past, but inhabits it with style, confidence, and fire. 

Angela Tini's second album, which will release on April 3, 2026, signals an evolution, which draws from early rhythm and blues and rock n' roll, soul, jazz and beyond. She fuses vintage influences with modern confidence and emotional depth. The result is a fearless record that showcases her growth as a versatile and authentic roots music artist.

Simone Turkington has performed extensively doing hundreds of shows in the eleven years since she seriously took up magic. She has taken her unique style of magic around the US and the world to Australia, New Zealand and the UK. She is a regular performer at the mecca of magic, The Magic Castle.

Simone brings a cool, mod, 1960s aesthetic to her show rarely seen unless you watch a lot of magic videos from the 60s. Her music choices will have your feet a-tappin and her rapport with the audience will leave a smile on your face. She aspires to live up to what she wrote on her childhood magic kit: Prepare to be Amazed.

After moving to Los Angeles, a far cry from Melbourne, Australia where she grew up, she found herself surrounded by creatives and dabbled in acting herself which had long been her passion. Shortly after discovering a new friend was also into magic, the cogs started turning and the idea for a 60s themed magic act popped into her head. With concept in place, she just needed to learn magic. In 2018, she was honored to achieve her biggest goal; to be booked to perform in the Parlour of Prestidigitation at The Magic Castle. She has gone on to perform over 1,000 shows and over 400 at the Magic Castle since.

Simone has been featured on Penn and Teller's Fool Us, KTLA’s LA Unscripted, The Washington Post, Genii magazine, and was a regular contributor to the Hocus in Focus column in The Linking Ring magazine. Her Jenny Lewis telethon performance had Jeff Goldblum awarding her 10 out of 10 Goldblums ahead of her stint at the Melbourne Magic Festival with her show ‘Suspicious Minds’. In 2022 she was thrilled to open for her favorite band, Britpop legends, Supergrass. For four years, she was a board member of the Women Magicians Association (WMA) and also a member of the Women in Magic Committee (WiMC) for the Academy of Magical Arts. Since 2023 she has been an instructor at the Magic University at the Magic Castle. In 2025 she was elected to the Board of Directors of the Academy of Magical Arts leading to her 2026 election as President of the Academy. 

Simone continues to push her act forward finding fresh, funny, and beautiful ways to shape her magic. For more information, check out Simone’s webpage:
