Dutch Holly Performance and Album Release Party — October 17, 2026
The Hazeltine Theater “Underworld” • 208 N. Marina St. Prescott, Arizona – Entrance on Willis St.
Doors at 7:00 PM
Three days after the direct-to-fans release of Persephone’s Picnic, Dutch Holly brings the album home to Prescott for an evening of electronic music, mythology, art, light, shadow, and a little carefully organized descent into the Underworld.
Persephone’s Picnic gathers songs Dutch Holly has developed and transformed through years of live performance into a new album of electronic indie pop, dream-pop atmosphere, synth-driven rhythms, guitars, layered vocals, and cinematic production. On October 17, Dutch Holly will perform the album live as the centerpiece of a release party built around the same ideas that run through the record: transformation, darkness and light, departure and return.
The evening begins with music by ALLHAILPAN and electronic noise duo Made of 1000 Dead Gods, accompanied by an art/craftivity table run by Phoenix artist Erin Pulford.
At 7:45, The Uman Torch – “Hades” arrives to preside over the proceedings, perform, stir up the living, and otherwise prepare the room for its descent.
At 8:15 Meg Bohrman takes us briefly into the mythology behind the evening, exploring the stories of Inanna and/or Persephone and their journeys between worlds—and the ways those stories connect to music concerned with light, darkness, loss, transformation and return.
Then, at 8:30, Dutch Holly performs Persephone’s Picnic.
ALLHAILPAN returns afterward to carry the evening back toward the surface.

About Persephone’s Picnic
Persephone’s Picnic is the new album from Arizona electronic indie pop duo Dutch Holly — Jen Juniper and Tres Ikner.
The record brings together newly recorded versions of songs developed across years of live performance alongside new material from Dutch Holly’s current era. Its sound moves through dream pop, indie electronic, art-pop and new-wave textures, combining synthesizers, guitars, programmed rhythms and layered vocals with songs about perception, transformation, identity, darkness, hope and the peculiar business of being human.
The album arrives direct to fans and subscribers October 14, 2026 here on the Dutch Holly website, our BandCamp, and YouTube with other streaming platforms to follow after.
Three nights later, Persephone invites us all to her Picnic in the Underworld.
