KELLY MCFARLING - Bay Area indie-folk singer-songwriter with serious roots in melody, groove, and soul. Think Laura Marling meets Bonnie Raitt — beautiful, well-crafted songs delivered with real emotion.

We’ve never NOT been floored by her performances, including on the OBMF stage in 2017, 2023, & 2025 and are delighted to have her back in Reno for OTR!

KINGWHISTLER - Based in Reno, NV, frontman, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Nick Aliberti—better known as Kingwhistler—brings a passion for classic rock and catchy hooks to the indie scene. With a focus on storytelling and rich harmonies, Kingwhistler’s unpretentious melodies sound as comfortable at home on your turntable as they do fueling your weekend party playlist.Looking ahead?
