LyonsDen is playing ZAOstock.

ZAOstock is a free music festival on Saturday 3 October, on the Franklin Street Parklet in downtown Ellsworth, Maine. 1 stage, 8 acts, 12 to 6. At 6 the street clears, and Black Moon Public House next door hosts its own evening from 6. It is part of the 9th annual Art of Ellsworth, during Maine Craft Weekend.

LyonsDen is one of the 8.

LyonsDen Rez Muzik is a Native American, self-produced independent artist from the Onondaga Reservation. His sound weaves reggae roots, hip hop, blues, R&B, and EDM into a single set, grounded in authentic Rez storytelling. He writes, records, and produces his own music from start to finish. After a steady run of singles and the EP "Tales From SouthEnd", he released his debut full-length album, "The SouthEnd Kid".

He earned a spot at SXSW after winning a Battle of the Bands, then joined the Beyond The Block Tour. His collaborative reach extends internationally with artists in the Netherlands and Belgium.

We have worked with him before. He played ZAOville in Laurel, Maryland on 25 July, the pool party chapter of the ZAO Festivals series, sharing the stage on the same day as DCoop. Now he is the second act we are publishing for Ellsworth.

His full bio, genre breakdown, and music are live on his official festival page:

ZAOstock stage program and running order

We publish each artist one at a time, and only after they have confirmed in writing and sent a bio and a photo. So the page fills slowly, and nobody is on it who has not said yes.

RSVP is free at ticket.zaostock.com so we know how many people to plan for. If you want to put something behind the day you can donate at zaostock.com/tickets.
