Houseplant

Formed during the isolation of 2020, Houseplant has steadily evolved into a genre-fluid band rooted in Louisville, Kentucky, blending improvisation, indie-rock storytelling, lush psychedelic soundscapes, and groove-driven rhythm. The band’s music lives at the intersection of structure and exploration—balancing emotionally resonant songwriting with an open-ended, collaborative approach to performance.

While the early years saw Houseplant cultivating a grassroots following, 2025 marks a clear turning point in the band’s trajectory. The additions of Ben Atkind (formerly of Goose), Chris “Roadie” Rodahaffer, and the official onboarding of Sam Richardson—who began performing with the band in late 2024—have brought new energy and cohesion to the group’s sound. Built on the creative foundation laid by founding members Tavis Conley and Tommy Arnspiger, these lineup shifts have deepened the band’s improvisational instincts and sharpened their musical identity.

The band’s live show remains the centerpiece of its creative output: dynamic, immersive, and ever-changing. Setlists are structured but designed to stretch—anchored by thoughtful compositions that allow the music to breathe, shift, and surprise. While improvisation is central to their identity, Houseplant’s focus on lyrical craft and song structure sets them apart within the broader jam landscape.

With a growing slate of live dates and new recordings underway, Houseplant is entering a new chapter—focused, fully formed, and ready to expand their reach on and off stage.

For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday

By: Sarah Ruhl

Directed By: Renee Prince

When Ann thinks of her father, she immediately remembers playing Peter Pan in her hometown theater in Iowa, particularly when he used to bring her flowers after her performance. Her memory is jogged by the fact that she and her four siblings are in their father’s hospital room during his final moments. His death sparks a conversational wake that includes everything from arguments over politics to when each sibling realized that they grew up. A loving look at a family’s view of death, life, and the allure of never growing up.
