Bottom of the Hill featured three bands Saturday Night. San Francisco-based indie artist Maggie Gently started the night. Maggie Gently music is melody-driven and electric.

The night’s second performer was Canadian-based Thanya Iyer. Thanya Iyer is both a person and a band lead by lead vocalist, keyboardist and violinist of the same name, bassist Pompey and Daniel Gélinas on drums. The band’s sound infuses many genres including pop, jazz and orchestral experimentation into their music.

The Canadian indie rock band Land of Talk was the headliner and put on a great show. The band is led by singer, guitarist and chief songwriter Elizabeth Powell hailing from Montreal Canada. The band formed in 2006 and currently promoting 2023’s LP Performances. Land of Talk put on a great show telling band stories in between songs to a lot of laughter from the crowd. The stories and music together created a warm intimacy between the artist and the audience.

Petyr Campos I've been creating images solely with my iPhone since 2009 when my DSLR camera broke and I've never looked back. I like the advantages and challenges that are unique to photographing and creating imagery within the iPhone ecosystem. The iPhone serves as both my camera and darkroom. Many of my images leverage specific photographic apps to create a mood, emotion, or idea I want to convey. My work and photographic style is a mixture of documentary and free-form art leveraging IOS apps post process to create distinct and unique imagery. Originally from Chicago, IL, San Francisco has been my home since 1996. I currently reside in the Outer Richmond.
