Stagecoach '18 news: Half-Pint Hootenanny Stage performers

Continuing the tradition of bringing the hottest new talent to the festival, Stagecoach 2018 has invited teen rockers Minor Emergency, singer-songwriter Julia Rizik and country-pop trio Auburn Road, to join the ranks of Half Pint Hootenanny stage alumni, Tegan Marie and Temecula Road as this year’s festival newcomers.

To kick off the 3-day festival on Friday, April 27 Coachella Valley’s Minor Emergency (Luke, 12, Zoe, 12, Brayden, 13 and Jake, 14) will take the stage. The foursome has already made a name for themselves by rocking favorite classic rock and Americana hits and playing venues alongside established popular Desert bands. 


On April 28, 17-year-old singer-songwriter Julia Rizik (pictured) will play. She was the 2014 winner of the Arizona Teen Idol singing competition and has performed multiple national anthems for sporting events. She will be performing on Good Morning Arizona on April 20, making her mark at Stagecoach 2018 and graduating from high school in May. 

Closing out the weekend on April 29, pop/country/Americana teen trio Auburn Road will display their three-part harmonies. Alicia Paulson, Paxton Martin and Kristen Brown are life-long friends who are staying true to their country roots, but also daring to push the boundaries of the modern genre. They self-released their debut Fancy in their senior year of high school, graduated, and have since been busy playing shows, writing and recording songs for their upcoming EP series, Mustang Vol. 1 and Mustang Vol. 2. They are funding the upcoming releases through their touring, merchandise sales and a pre-order campaign on PledgeMusic (http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/auburnroad.)
