Elliot Rayman

"The Suitcase Junket is Matt Lorenz's one-man-band: overtone-singing americana blues with home-made junk-drums on each foot."

"Adam Klein and The Wildfires, hailing from Athens, GA, are touring in support of their new album Sky Blue Deville. "Lonely americana and country soul...Sky Blue Deville [is] tender and honest, reflects the calm genius of Lyle Lovett’s Pontiac.”- Andre Gallant, Athens Banner Herald.

Elliot Rayman, former valley resident and NYC convert, is coming back to town to share his atmospheric wash of delicate and reflective song.

J.Mascis
Passerine
Dredd Foole

It’s all but inconceivable that J Mascis requires an introduction. In the quarter-century since he founded Dinosaur (Jr.), Mascis has created some of the era’s signature songs, albums and styles. The laconically-based roar of his guitar, drums and vocals have driven a long string of bands: Deep Wound, Dinosaur Jr., Gobblehoof, Velvet Monkeys, the Fog, Witch, Sweet Apple and he has guested on innumerable sessions.

Passerine is Eric Gagne from Redwing Blackbird, Death to Tyrants, and Dweller on the Threshold. Mellow, stoned songs from the woods of New Hampshire.

Dredd Foole is a singer / guitarist both ferocious and gentle. Having cut his teeth in Boston whipping up frenzies of blaring heaviness, he now has taken to the woods and mellowed it out a bit. The heaviness is still there, and delivered with soul and sincerity, the gain has just been rolled back. He has collaborated with Mission of Burma, Thurston Moore, Chris Corsano, Ben Chasny, J Mascis, Matt Valentine, Paul Flaherty, and many more.

*We will be selling tickets beginning May 11th. We do not sell tickets over the phone day of the concert.

Known as a lead guitarist and saxophone player in the past few years with Colin Langenus, CSC Funk Band, Jonny Fritz, Pancho the Kid and Sam Marine & County, these performances give you a chance to hear the man singing and playing his original material.

Two wild animals pretending to be one human girl! CATFOX was born and raised in the pits of paradise, fingerpicking through trashcan music, spinning cobwebs in the cupboard beneath the stairs, spilling family secrets and telling tall bushy tales.
