Olivia Barton ~ Brittany Ann Tranbaugh
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: 8:00 PM Olivia BartonOlivia Barton writes songs that sound like stream-of-consciousness journal entries—because they are. Olivia asks and answers questions in real time, taking you through a “diary of the healing process” (Sound of Boston). The 90s-inspired folk-pop songs live in a raw but playful space Olivia (sort of) jokingly describes as “somewhere between Elliott Smith and Hilary Duff.” After releasing her sophomore album This is a Good Sign at the end of 2022, she is gearing up for her biggest year yet supporting Lizzy McAlpine’s full US tour in spring of 2023. This is a Good Sign has been written about in publications such as Stereogum and Brooklyn Vegan, charted at #3 on college radio, featured on Spotify editorial playlists, and gained the attention of dream collaborators, including Madi Diaz, Carol Ades, and Evan Stephens Hall of the band Pinegrove. The album’s opening track, “I Don’t Sing My Songs” is reflective of Olivia’s infectious ability to hold darkness and light in the same hand, starting by directly facing reality: “I stay inside / I call my dad / I wait to feel” and ending with an inner knowing: “Good feelings are so possible within me.” She leaves you feeling cracked open, seen, and vibrating with hope in the connectedness of things. Brittany Ann TranbaughBrittany Ann Tranbaugh (pronounced TRAN-baw) is a Philadelphia-based songwriter whose queer Americana heartbreaker “Kiss You” won Song of the Year in the 2021 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Tranbaugh has been writing songs and playing shows as a side gig since she was a teenager, but in February 2023, at 31 years old, she finally quit her office job to pursue a full-time career in music. Her newest release is a self-titled EP produced by Grammy-winner Tyler Chester which showcases Tranbaugh in her new era: energetic, self-assured, surrounded by her beloved musical community, and more commanding as a vocalist and writer than ever before.

Smokeyy ~ twentythreenineteen ~ Time of Man
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: 6:30 PMShow: 7:00 PMSmokeyy -https://linktr.ee/smokeyymusic Raised on the cusp of Philadelphia and South Jersey, Indie artist Smokeyy is making an uprising in the music industry. His unique blend of relatable melody and wanderlust takes us on a soulful exploration of Smokeyy’s life experiences leaving fans wanting to know more. Smokeyy has been in various musical projects beginning at the age of 15. He has taught himself how to play the drums and guitar, as well as other instruments. While living the band life was great, Smokeyy discovered a new passion for producing, which introduces who he is today. Growing up listening to legendary bands like The Doors and Pink Floyd has inspired Smokeyy to create music that not only makes people feel in touch with their inner freedom, but also their willingness to explore. twentythreenineteen https://linktr.ee/twentythreenineteen philly’s twentythreenineteen (members of Sweet Pill/ Typopro ) is a study in the many ways we can experience communication breakdown. Yet, the melodic vocabulary this young band already displays shows a way out of these uneasy moments. After having released their self-titled album, XIIIXIX, “All This Love” is their next step to diving into the bands future. Most twentythreenineteen songs unfold in a similar manner: the band wraps their textures in light, delicate frameworks that can veer off in manic directions that are anchored by McCall’s misty vocal presence and flanked by close friends. Time of Manhttps://linktr.ee/timeofmanphl “In Joni Mitchell’s 1969 track “Woodstock,” written about the festival of the same name, she sings, “Well, maybe it’s just the time of year / Or maybe it’s the time of man / I don’t know who I am / But, you know, life is for learning.” The namesake of musical journeyman Rob Rich’s latest project and the song that played over the PhilaMOCA speakers before he took the stage for his first solo show, these lyrics say more about Rich and his solo venture Time Of Man than you’d think. …” “…The songs on his debut full-length “Moment of Silence” explore a variety of topics from growing up alongside religion and addiction to love and sex to death and grief and more.
