BIO
Apis Mellifera is a traveling bard, with theatrical expressions that guide the emotion of her pieces. Her music ranges from grim to ecstatic, covering an expanse of human experiences, both relatable, and unique. Her lilting tunes and cheeky lyrics capture audience imagination and move their hearts. She's known for her improv, and for dragging other musicians on stage mid-gig for a trial-by-fire collaborative jam.
Currently she's following the folk festival circuit, ranging from Washington to Texas. Her most powerful venues are intimate listening rooms and house shows, so be sure to reach out if you'd like a visit from this whimsical honeybee on her way through your cit.y or on your camping trips.

Revival: Pando
Performing for her second time, this festival is a mushroom positive event, inspired by The Divine Association, a group of intellectual mystics who use psilocybin as their sacrament. This year there was a team of student researchers from Harvard, seeking to study the connection between ex-cult members, spiritual phenomenons, and the imbibement of magic mushrooms.

Oregon Country Fair
Performing on two stages at THE most magical festival villages in modern history, OCF is a 53 year old renaissance, built into the forest of Veneta, Oregon.
Dozens of thousands shuffle through the dusty paths over the weekend, and each night are herded out around 7pm.
Some say this is where the true OCF begins, as volunteers emerge from their duties or rests to embark on colorfully psychedelic experiences.
July 25-27 2025
