An indie rock band based in Skagit County, Mild Mallard plays an eclectic melding of genres from traditional folk to funk. Featuring Aida Miller on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Nakos "Dobro DJ" Marker on slide guitar, Kaleb Wyatt holding down the beat on drums, and Miguel Garibay on upright bass reminding everyone to "stomp it", these mild mannered ducks will have you grooving to a collection of unique originals and blues-y jams.

They'll share the bill with the Librarians -- pretty and gritty, combining the dreamy and the everyday, the surreal and political, the archetypal and personal, shining a defiant light in these dark days. (And they don't just sing about making change -- Carly's running for Port Commissioner. Vote!!)

Together, this should make for a fine and fun evening of music and good vibes.
