Meet the Official Musician Showcases of Song of Sunset: UNDERGROUND

On October 24, 2026, Song of Sunset: UNDERGROUND returns to Silver Moon Brewing in Bend, Oregon, bringing original short films, live conversations, and music together for one immersive evening.

Music is not an intermission from the films—it is part of the storytelling. This year’s official musician showcases span acoustic punk, cinematic songwriting, live looping, and Native hip-hop, with each artist bringing a distinct perspective to the Song of Sunset stage.

Six Eyed Cat

Joe Estrada

Otherwise known as the “Six Eyed Cat,” for reasons unknown to any living mortal being—tends to arrive with an acoustic guitar and a spirited mix of punk songs that sound like country songs wishing they were bluegrass songs.

Never interested in playing the same show twice, Estrada often brings friends and musical cohorts along to share songs and stories. The result is spontaneous, communal, and unpredictable: you never fully know what is in store when Six Eyed Cat takes the stage.

Ghost of Brian Craig

Ghost of Brian Craig

A Bend-based singer-songwriter, filmmaker, and storyteller whose work explores music, culture, memory, and human connection.

Blending acoustic rock, harmonica, and live looping, Brian creates performances that move between intimate songwriting and layered, atmospheric sound. He is also the creator and host of Song of Sunset, the award-winning live cinema experience that brings original films, live performances, and meaningful conversations together in a single show.

His October 24 showcase will connect the evening’s cinematic and musical worlds from inside the experience he created.

Sho Rilla

Sho Rilla

A Pacific Northwest Native hip-hop artist known for culturally grounded, emotionally reflective music rooted in lived experience.

Raised in Warm Springs, Oregon, he began writing at sixteen after witnessing the effects of addiction and generational trauma within his community. Music became a way to process those experiences, tell the truth, and create a stronger path forward.

Since performing his first show in 2022, Sho Rilla has built his career independently, touring throughout the region and opening for artists including DJ Yella of N.W.A, Masta Killa of Wu-Tang Clan, Stella Standingbear, and The Neighborhood Kids.

Sho Rilla will bring Song of Sunset: UNDERGROUND to its live-performance finale with a showcase grounded in resilience, identity, and the power of personal storytelling.

Closing Social with DJ NBT RedBear

DJ NBT REDBEAR

The night will continue after the final performance with a closing social featuring music from DJ NBT RedBear. It will be a chance for the audience, artists, filmmakers, and presenters to gather, connect, and bring the evening to a close together.

One Night of Film, Music, and Conversation

Song of Sunset is not a traditional film festival or concert. It is a curated live-cinema experience in which every film, conversation, and performance contributes to the arc of the night.

Join Six Eyed Cat, Ghost of Brian Craig, Sho Rilla, and DJ NBT RedBear on October 24 at Silver Moon Brewing in Bend, Oregon, and experience what is waiting beneath the surface.
