The Soundtrack to Mound City
Live music, DJs, and St. Louis sounds all day long.
From the first beat in the morning to our evening headliner, music will be woven throughout the Mound City Film Festival experience. Enjoy live performances from Neil C. Luke, Lo Stone and Atomic Junction, with DJs keeping the Pavilion Stage and festival grounds energized between sets. Come for the films. Stay for the music.
🎸 Meet the Artists
Neil C. Luke
12:20–1:20 PM
Kick off the afternoon with Neil C. Luke, bringing his distinctive songwriting and live performance to the Mound City stage. Luke's music sits comfortably in the St. Louis roots and rock tradition, making him a natural fit for a festival celebrating stories, place and community.
Come early, grab a drink, explore the artists and vendors, and settle in for an afternoon of live music.
🎤 Lo Stone
3:15–4:15 PM
St. Louis singer-songwriter Lo Stone brings a soulful, melodic indie sound to the festival. Her music combines thoughtful songwriting with an intimate, engaging style that makes her a perfect soundtrack for a fall afternoon at Atomic.
With two full-length albums, including Only a Sound, Lo Stone has developed a sound that is distinctly her own while remaining deeply connected to the St. Louis music community.
Come hear Lo Stone while exploring the environmental art exhibition, grabbing a bite or checking out the festival's many activations.
🔥 Atomic Junction
6:10–7:10 PM
We'll turn up the volume as Atomic Junction takes the stage for our evening headline performance.
The St. Louis roots-rock band blends outlaw country, Southern rock, blues and punk-tinged Americana into a gritty, Midwest-rooted sound. Their music is driven by storytelling, guitars, harmonica and a distinctly St. Louis perspective.
Atomic Junction's performance will provide the musical crescendo of the festival before we transition into our evening Mountainfilm presentation.
Come ready to stay awhile.
🎧 Music All Day Long
Between our featured performances, DJs will keep the Pavilion Stage and festival grounds moving throughout the day.
We're bringing together DJs from CRSTL.FM and the local community to create a continuous musical backdrop for the festival—from the moment the doors open through the evening.
Whether you're watching a film, checking out the environmental art, visiting our community partners and sponsors, grabbing food and drinks, or simply hanging out with friends, there will be music happening somewhere at Mound City Film Festival.
