The Orange Twin ACE Foundation’s Summer Jam with Nana Grizol is a queer music showcase celebrating 15 years since Orange Twin Records released the indie folk-punk band’s album Love It, Love It, as well as singer Theo Hilton’s 40th birthday. The nonprofit, which is dedicated to promoting art, conservation and education, has returned to hosting outdoor concerts for the first time since the pandemic. In addition to Nana Grizol, three other bands will perform at the event. Dog Person is made up of Nana Grizol and Circulatory System band members who make an organ-driven pop sound. Their goal as a band is to perform songs within dog minutes (two human minutes) and deliver songs that reflect an entire range of canine emotion from happy to sad to hungry. Nihilist Cheerleader will also make an appearance to play a riot grrrl-inspired set of punk songs. Finally, Kym Register + Meltdown Rodeo (Durham, NC) will perform country originals highlighting queer storytelling and identity within Southern culture.
