This event is All Ages

Join the music scene at UNIT B as James Raymond hosts an intimate evening of original songs, stories, and shared musicianship. This edition features the evocative songwriting of Kipp Bentley, Ruby Oland, Cali Shaw, and Eb Lottimer, joined by an outstanding band: James Raymond on piano, Jon Gagan on bass, and Jon Bartlit on drums.

Kipp Bentley
Santa Fe’s own heart-and-hustle songwriter, Kipp Bentley snagged Album of the Year at the 2021 New Mexico Music Awards for Rose of Jericho, then doubled down with another Best‑of‑the‑Year nod in 2024 for Durable Goods. He’s a rug weaver turned musical staple whose next record is barreling toward us in 2025—expect authenticity and sharp-as-a-razor lyrics, all wrapped in that desert-drenched sound.

Ruby Oland
Ruby Oland is Santa Fe’s "y’allternative" songstress, weaving in a honeyed country twang over indie-folk roots that trace through Utah and Portland before taking root in Northern New Mexico. With two LPs and two EPs already under her belt, her songs feel like canyon breezes wrapped in nostalgia—and she’s only getting more compelling.

Cali Shaw
Cali Shaw channels Santa Fe's rugged beauty into songs that feel both wide-open and deeply intimate. A fixture at local venues like the Plaza and brewery stages, his music is steeped in the high-desert soul—laid-back, soulful, and brimming with real-life grit and charm. If you're walking the wide horizons of New Mexico, his tunes will walk with you.

Eb Lottimer
Eb Lottimer isn’t your average songwriter—he’s a multi-talented creative force: writer, director, actor, and bard of Santa Fe. His Americana project Baylin earned Album of the Year at the New Mexico Music Awards, and his cross-disciplinary storytelling offers one hell of a nuanced, cinematic sound.

Come enjoy a night of heartfelt performances and the vibrant spirit of New Mexico’s music community.

Doors open at 5:30 for dinner, wine and craft cocktails. Showtime is 7:00 pm.
