Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Dan English For the longing listener… The music of composer Dan English is the communing of the head and the heart sharing secrets. The songs subsume time into feelings and images of purity, sonically and spiritually, and then, somewhat masochistically, play with lyrics drawn from the dingier parts of life: love, family, and capricious head-spaces. It’s movie-music; eternal scores for an espionage film with a protagonist who’s a clandestine, time-traveling romantic tailing the spirit itself. Born in a quiet town in Iowa, he grew up chasing invisible things: codes in books, echoes in movies, half-sentences in songs. English found himself glued to the radio from an early age and, after picking up guitar at 10, language and sound conspired. The music is part confession, part séance— lush spells where the sacred and the stained trade places. Emotions arrive in disguises: Tenderness (smoke), grief (rhythm), silence (a cathedral on the verge of collapse). Following a move to New York City, Dan released his first album “Fruit Boy” in 2018 followed by 2020’s “In Grace” EP. Since, Dan has journeyed into his next body of work with the release of “Across my Jaw”: a song that trembles beneath restraint before bursting open— a shattering modern hymn. In addition to his solo work, Dan moonlights as a guitarist for beloved NYC rock outfit Porches and is often to be found collaborating with his mysterious cousin Melody English. His second full-length, Sky Record, is due Summer 2025. It’s less an album, more a weather system.

Who Knows ~ Dual Identity
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets.Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PM Who Knows Who Knows is a genre-blending collective led by producer and guitarist Ameya Deshpande. Drawing inspiration from artists like Yussef Dayes, Tom Misch, and the new wave of chill, groove-heavy jazz, the group brings a fresh, atmospheric sound that’s equal parts laid-back and musically sophisticated. Set to release their self-titled debut EP on June 14, Who Knows showcases a tight ensemble of local Philly based musicians: Daniel Wilfred (drums), Joab Alexander (keys), Miguel Cid (bass), and Chet Williams (saxophone), with guest solos by guitarist Dave Thaker. Together, the group delivers smooth, improvisation-forward sets that balance jazz sensibility with a contemporary edge. The live show will feature Joshua Peeler on Saxophone and Taylor Kelly on guest vocals. Dual IdentityDual Identity is a boundary-pushing jazz fusion group based in Philadelphia.

Their debut live album, captured across multiple shows, is currently in production.
OK Cool ~ Lowercoaster ~ Grocer
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets.Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PM OK Cool Across the ten tracks on their debut album Chit Chat, Bridget Stiebris (she/her) and Haley Blomquist Waller (she/her) of OK Cool not only build on the trademark sound that helped grant them their status as one of the most exciting bands in Chicago’s thriving DIY scene, but also explore new musical and thematic ideas that push their artistry in exciting directions. The new album was entirely written, performed, and produced by the duo, with engineering support from fellow Chicago musicians Avery Black, Brad Harvey, and Wesley Reno, and pulls from new material as well as songs the band had written as far back as 2019. That Stiebris and Blomquist can evolve while maintaining hat has consistently made them great since their inception five years ago shows how keenly aware they are of their strengths, and also how willing they are to keep discovering new places for their sound to go after three EPs. Chit Chat pulls influence from a wide range of contemporary indie artists who value lyricism and experimenting with production and form, such as Great Grandpa, Rosie Tucker, Indigo De Souza, Illuminati Hotties, Alex G and Oso Oso. The album blends songs with hooky melodies (“Fading Out Forever”), shoegaze sensibilities (“Splitting”), guitar theatrics (“Jeans (I Get It Now)”) and even delicate piano (“Loop”), but these tracks never feel disparate thanks to the thoughtful songwriting and instrumentation that fans have come to expect from OK Cool. Standouts from the album include singles “Waawooweewaa,” which Stiebris describes as “an oldie but a goodie” and highlights the band indulging in their most straightforwardly rock and roll sensibilities; “Safety Car,” an ode to the people who have your back that features synth over the album’s most endearingly pop chorus; and “Last,” the album closer, a heartfelt reflection on self-doubt over a perfect blend of acoustic and electric guitars that Stiebris and Blomquist say is a mutual favorite OK Cool track. Chit Chat is the sound of a band simultaneously continuing to invent their voice and remaining confident in leveraging what’s worked. It’s the sound of two best friends collaborating effortlessly to craft a singular sonic language. And it’s the sound of two masters of their art creating a debut full-length worthy of the hard work they’ve put into getting to this point in their career. Lowercoaster Big riffs, bigger hearts. Grocer Grocer is a band from Philadelphia.

Amy Jay ~ Alison Stiel ~ Stone Cold Grace
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets.Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PM Amy Jay New York based indie alt-folk singer songwriter Amy Jay’s songs are like plastic knives — pliable, yet cutting. Throughout the 10 songs on her new album, Mnemonics, Jay proves she knows how to wield them tenaciously. She is a master of exploring what makes the vulnerable acceptable, alluding to the Joycean concept of what makes the universal specific. Throughout Mnemonics and across her oeuvre, she transforms sketches of folk songs into fully formed indie rock panoramas that alternatingly float, stun, and comfort. The architecture of her songwriting, varied in length, tone, and dynamic, stands out, but it’s Jay’s voice that’s the connecting tissue, whether performing with a full band or solo. Amy Jay’s Mnemonics is due out November 7 via Mother West. Alison Stiel Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter ALISON STIEL has always been fascinated by the concept of memory – why, after so many minutes lived, only a handful actually stay with us years later. As of December 2024, her ten track album “Memory” is out in the world and available to stream everywhere. The isolation of lockdown pushed Stiel to start writing her own music, and by the time the world reopened, she had become adept at capturing her most standout moments – ones that haunted her, ones that comforted her, ones that she lived in for probably too long. Drawing inspiration from the open tunings and intricate guitar patterns of Adrianne Lenker, as well as the anthemic lyrics and vocals of artists such as Mitski and Samia, Stiel’s songs are deeply personal yet deeply relatable. Stone Cold Grace STONE COLD GRACE is the pseudonym of indie folk singer/songwriter Sara Johnson. Compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Patti Griffin and Allegra Krieger, Johnson weaves stories of love, loss and becoming into delicately crafted songs. When Johnson isn’t making music for Stone Cold Grace, she fronts philly-based indie rock outfit Caring Less.
