On Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 7PM, Gesa Power House Theatre welcomes Amelia Day and the Cloves! This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission. This project is also supported in part by Creative West which receives support in part from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
Amelia Day is a folk rock powerhouse entering the conversation with mainstays like Sheryl Crow, Hozier, and Brandi Carlile. Underscoring her carefree melodies with gritty, confessional lyricism and raw, heartfelt delivery, she shares stories of young queer life with an intimacy that makes even new listeners feel familiar.
Raised in Washington state, Amelia is deeply influenced by the folk and grunge artists that also found their footing in the overcast forests and slick streets of Seattle (like The Head And The Heart, Fleet Foxes, Nirvana, and again, Brandi Carlile). Mixing elements of her adolescent mixtapes of folk, rock, and jazz, she creates music that plays freely with genre, but is still undeniably “Amelia Day”.
Whether you find Amelia through a live show with her backing band “The Cloves” or her innovative online content, her humor, joy, and authenticity are bound to win you over. Without a label, manager, or agent, Amelia has sold out venues in Seattle, DC, and Boston; been played on popular stations like “KEXP” and “107.7 The End”; and even been booked for iconic festivals like “Bumbershoot” and “Capitol Hill Block Party”.

This unique sound, described by the band as a ‘musical gumbo,’ has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across 5 continents and more than 30 countries, record 12 studio albums and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Widespread Panic to Norah Jones. Forty five-plus years later, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world famous music machine whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances.

The Sharp Five Jazz Collective is a group of experienced musicians who came together because of their mutual desire to play the post-bop jazz of the late 50’s and early 60’s. While all the members play in numerous other ensembles, this is the one where they can play the music they love the most. Their repertoire includes music by Horace Silver, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Hank Mobley and other jazz greats of that era, and also includes songs by more modern artists such as Roy Hargrove and Christian McBride that carry the same great vibe. The group was conceived as a collective to provide an opportunity for many like-minded players to participate and share in bringing this remarkable music to audiences in the Northwest Washington.
On January 17th, Hearne is bringing his vulnerable new EP, "Dancing to Sad Songs," to the stage!

While the songs may come from tender places, the night promises to be funky, electric, and unforgettable.

Come dance, feel something, and celebrate a new chapter with Hearne.
