Josh Cashman ~ Miss Cantaloupe
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMJosh CashmanJosh Cashman is a natural born storyteller. Growing up in a household that was known for music blaring out of the living room as opposed to the television, he picked up the guitar at 11 and from the first chord he strummed, he knew music was his lifelong devotion. Cashman has come a long way since playing at school assemblies and open mics in his early teens. Now 27, he’s been on multiple international tours throughout North America, released two albums, and has a year ahead that will see him playing to thousands of music lovers across the globe in support of Tash Sultana’s world tour.When the world came to a standstill in March 2020 Cashman locked down and got down to business, writing over 70 songs in a 10 month span. “I wanted this global pause to mean something. I needed to give myself a sense of purpose when there was nothing very positive going on in the world and so I did the only thing I could do which was write, exercise, read and write some more. I’m grateful that I was able to stay motivated and had more than enough time to hone in on my craft and really explore, learn and develop my songwriting and production.” The latest release titled ‘Blue eyes’ is out June 22. “Blue Eyes’ narrative was inspired by a love letter that I wrote to my favourite internet girl as a young teenager. I found old notebooks/lyrics/poems at my parents house, opened one up, felt instant nostalgia and thought, this has to be a song. It’s clever, cute, and probably going to be relatable to many.” Already lauded by Triple J as having an “enchanting performance, charismatic vocals, [all] blended among sublime [with] warm guitar tones [and] a groove that’s hard to ignore,” there’s no telling what new heights Cashman can achieve over this next chapter of his promising career.https://www.instagram.com/joshjcashman/ Miss CantaloupeMiss Cantaloupe is a Philly based dream pop band formed in 2016 by singer/songwriter Christina Klaproth & drummer Sean Youngman.

The Pauses ~ Honeythunder ~ Disaster Artist
**All shows 21+ – valid ID required**THE PAUSESWith their sophomore release Unbuilding (Arctic Rodeo Recordings), the Pauses have hit their sonic geyser, and attentive listeners can marvel at the resulting indierocktronica glints and glitter. Based in Orlando, Florida, the Pauses are multi-instrumentalist Jason Kupfer, vocalist-bassistkeyboardist Tierney Tough, and drummer Nathan Chase. Produced and mixed by J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines), his influence can be heard in the heavier guitar propulsion that churns under the allure of the electronic ear candy on the surface. This combination live makes dancing feel like a decision the whole room made at once. On Unbuilding, the Pauses have evolved their collaborative songwriting, and few tracks show the pop heft of that effort as well as “Digital Detox.” It slams you almost like a wall of sound, with Tough’s typically clear-as-a-bell vocal distorted to great effect, evoking ‘60s girl groups with warped sensibilities. Trumpets, timpani, cello, theremin and electronic elements are called upon to create the Pauses’ authentic sound, and then whisked away to allow the vocals space, as in the sparse, unusual dreamscape on “Had/Have.” Other times, the sound can bound in bilateral increments, like the playful piano to guitar crush of “The Means.” Their range is key, with loud live rockers like “Don’t Wake Me Up” and “Animus?”, which is particularly intense as it dangles wildly at the album’s end and concludes, “What a way to feel nothing real.” That line evokes an overarching theme of the album, which gazes into the black mirror and is smart enough not to take it seriously. Songs like “Eventually, Everything Connects,” “Digital Detox” and “Don’t Wake Me Up” suggest a rebellion against the online drone, with lines that invite you to throw your arms up and sing out, “I don’t need the details shoved down my throat.”https://thepauses.bandcamp.com/HONEYTHUNDERFriendly punks making indie grunge in a basement in West Philadelphiahttps://honeythunderphl.bandcamp.com/album/thats-baseball-babyDISASTER ARTISThttps://disasterartistband.bandcamp.com/

The Ghost Club ~ Micky James
THE GHOST CLUB”Pittsburgh native Domenic Dunegan is the frontman to the popular band The Ghost Club. Amassing over 10 million streams across streaming platforms since their 2018 debut, the band is certainly making a name for themselves with Dunegan’s vocal style at the forefront.The Ghost Club’s new single “All I Know,” released on Mon., May 10, is a fun, synth-heavy, pop-rock anthem that really lets Dunegan’s vocals shine. Dunegan is a multi-instrumentalist as well, so his talents lie far beyond his ability to sing. “All I Know” is definitely an infectious song, with snappy lyrics in the chorus that resonate.” -Pittsburgh City Paperhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/5dXivPEjgjJmjTemfAPRnXMICKY JAMESBorn and raised in the shadows of Philly and NYC, Micky James naturally developed a taste for the theatrical and aspired to become a performer from a young age. In his music and personal style, Micky explores a sound and aesthetic that is nostalgic of a bygone era in rock-n-roll music, while still maintaining a contemporary pop ambition. Micky’s unique vocals are reminiscent of great character voices such as David Bowie and Julian Casablancas, alluding to the dark, mysterious, and romantic qualities that are so distinct to those artists. While Micky’s flamboyant fashions evoke the glamour and swagger of past rock icons, his work is both equal parts style and substance. Inspired by the authentic energy of 60’s and 70’s iconic rock band’s, James is successful in crafting a modern and fresh approach to a timeless genre, “I wanted to take pieces of nostalgia and give it a contemporary twist”, explains James. Successfully taking his vision and turning it into a reality. In July 2020, Micky released his most recent single “Kings”. The song garnered critical acclaim, with one critic calling it “a defiant uprising of the generationally damned and disgruntled, as well as the most authentic rock n’ roll you’ve heard in years”.https://www.themickyjames.com/
