One Stage.
One Spotlight.
One Breakout Artist.
WASHINGTON MUSICIANS, THIS IS YOUR CASTING CALL.
Doc Swinson’s Whiskey and Northwest Tune-Up are teaming up to give one rising musician or band the kind of opportunity you can’t buy: an opening slot on the main stage at Northwest Tune-Up 2026.
Tune Up Your Curiosity
Northwest Tune-Up has always been about discovering fun: on bikes, in community and on stage. Doc Swinson’s Whiskey shares that same spirit with its craft, creativity and curiosity for the next big moment.
Together, we’re building a platform that elevates emerging Washington musicians, creates real performance opportunities and connects community through live music. This is how opening acts become headliners.
