Folk? Bluegrass? Rock? Irish? Pop? TopHouse are taking America by storm and the UK are up next! Don't miss their WemsFest debut as part of their UK tour this autumn!

TopHouse is a Montana-raised Americana/Folk band made up of Jesse Davis, Joe Larson, Will Cook, and Andy LaFave. Created in 2015, the band began as a duo when two Music Composition majors at the University of Montana, guitarist/songwriter Jesse Davis and violinist William Cook, realized they loved playing music together and wanted to start - immediately. Lacking both a drummer and a singer, the first iteration of TopHouse was a virtuosity 'Celtic folk' instrumental duo with next-to-no connections. For about a year TopHouse performed in the bottom of parking garages in the cold Missoula air because "the reverb was cool." William and Jesse eventually snuck their way into a local farmer's market, and then moved onto the illustrious stardom of coffee shops, breweries, and weddings....the rest is history and you should come meet the excellent band they created when they play the intimate Westbourne Community Hall in November!

British-American act Raynes have wasted no time making themselves heard. Signing with Sony Music Publishing less than a year after their inception, the group has since released six singles and four EPs, performed at BottleRock Festival in 2025 and at sold-out venues across the US and the UK. Now, their singular blend of pop, folk, and world music is being featured on television shows, commercials, and tastemakers’ playlists, earning them hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners and millions of streams across platforms. Join us for fun when they share the stage with TopHouse in November!
