About Ellie James
Enter the world of singer- songwriter and producer Ellie James, and treat yourself to a show unlike any you've ever seen. Stylistically unique and captivating, Ellie James mixes lush indie-pop sounds with the style and edge of her rock 'n' roll background. Her music is both genuine and dance-inducing, as she uses real instruments and electronic production to weave musical stories all her own. With nearly sold-out headlining shows at Hopmonk, Ellie shows no signs of stopping with a year ahead full of new shows and new music.

About Pumas
Mariachi Pumas is the student mariachi ensemble of Maria Carrillo High School in Santa Rosa, California. Founded in 2022 by former director Matthew Isais Bowker as the first mariachi class in Santa Rosa City Schools history, the group has quickly become one of the most recognized ensembles in the district, bringing the rich musical traditions of Mexico to audiences across Sonoma County. Following Bowker's departure in spring 2026, the Pumas, now the only school mariachi program in Santa Rosa, continue to thrive under strengthened student leadership and new teacher direction. Highlights include three school concerts each year, two appearances at the Railroad Square Music Festival, and performances at Mexican restaurants throughout Santa Rosa.
