Cultivate Performing and Arts Festival - Blue Moon Marquee
Sunday, July 12, 2026 (8:00 PM - 9:00 PM) (PDT)
Description

Blue Moon Marquee writes and performs original compositions influenced by anything that swings, jumps, or grooves. A.W. Cardinal (vocals/guitar) and Jasmine Colette, a.k.a. Badlands Jass (vocals/bass/drums), have played for audiences everywhere from jazz clubs and folk venues to dive bars and prestigious festival stages.
Colette commands the upright bass while bringing the rhythm with a custom foot drum kit, all while singing in her signature honey-dipped tone. Cardinal’s soulful vocals and jazz-infused blues guitar deliver a powerful and unmistakable sound.
The result of nine years of touring across Europe and North America is a distinct style that blends blues, jazz, jump jive, folk, country, swing, and Indigenous soul. Their gift lies in weaving these influences together with lyrics that explore the underbelly of society through Indigenous storytelling and poetic cadence. Unbound by genre or era, Blue Moon Marquee creates music that is authentic, timeless, and impossible to ignore.
Triple bill including Anemara and Oktopus!
