The Rabbit Box presents Brenna Bruce (Album Release), Lightweight Champion & Stonefruit
Friday, June 12th // Doors 7:30 // Music 8:30pm
Brenna Bruce is a singer-songwriter residing in Seattle, Washington. Following a path of curiosity and introspection, her music moves with a quiet power, balancing sharpness and tenderness with an understood patience. Bruce pulls from the tradition of vulnerable folk songwriting through delicate and crystalline vocal prowess akin to Courtney Marie Andrews and Emmylou Harris, with the simplicity and focus of Gillian Welch’s storytelling. On her debut EP “Honest Bloom”, Bruce weaves heartfelt stories of her youth in the vast desert landscapes of Arizona with her present day home in the lush mountains of the Pacific Northwest. She explores spaces of liminality and cyclical growth, spinning themes of connection, belonging, and becoming, with Brenna’s vocal harmonies carrying each sentiment to fruition. In 2026, Bruce returns with a matured sound and focused production for her sophomore project “Light Catcher”. Supported by the refined textures of earthy percussion, woodwinds, strings, guitars, and keys, the songs embody threads of rootlessness entangled in visceral memories of love, loss, and everything between.
Lightweight Champion is an alt-country band based out of Seattle and Port Townsend, WA. The band's sound comprises compelling indie songwriting and lyricism with a twangy edge. The band released their first EP “Valley” on Seattle cassette label Den Tapes in April 2023. The EP demonstrates the band's versatility and arrangement prowess – it merges Spieldenner’s lyrics-forward style with warm and textural production, leaning on alt-country influences augmented by explorations into indie/alternative sonic territory. Members include Aaron Spieldenner (Vocals/Guitar), Cam Hancock (Drums) and Tom Moskal (Bass).
Stonefruit is an indie alternative rock band local to Bozeman, MT. With a debut album set to release in summer 2026 and their first tour on the books, Stonefruit is reaching the escape velocity necessary to blast off. Made up of one lifelong Montanan and three lads with southern roots, Stonefruit's sound seamlessly blends noisy tones, sweet bends, and driving drums with Olivia Langan's idiosyncratic lyrics and guitar play. From dreamy alt that has you staring at the floor to crunchy quickness that breaks you from the spell, Stonefruit's genre blending has no limits
