Pan Arcadia ~ Cab Ellis ~ The New You

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 PM Show: 7:30 PM Pan Arcadia Pan Arcadia has been making waves in the NYC music scene. With their high-energy performances and anthemic sound, the band has quickly gained a reputation for electrifying live shows and raw, unapologetic music. Their blend of dueling guitars, soulful crooning vocals, and powerful rhythms captures the essence of rock while pushing boundaries with modern sensibilities. Through sold out gigs at Bowery Ballroom and spotlights in Spin Magazine, the 5-piece has proven themselves a musical force not to be missed. The band’s next LP, produced by Hugo White (Jessie Ware, The Maccabees, Jamie T, Matt Maltese) and Pete Harper (Sara Bareilles, Madison Cunningham, Theo Katzman) is due this fall. SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1eIFYyCbgvc6LT4ViIveax Cab Ellis If I told you New York’s alt rock scene is back, you might ask who’s responsible. Best known for their uninhibited, intoxicating live performances, Cab Ellis is the underground revival’s best-kept-secret. With a penchant for stage diving, spitting beer into mosh pits and splitting guitar strings center stage, the band stirs a certain chaos and confusion in young fans while conjuring a deep nostalgia for a bygone era in older listeners. At the age of sixteen, frontman Connor Abeles began rapping over YouTube beats at his family’s desktop computer in Hagerstown, Maryland. In 2018, Abeles moved to Los Angeles, where he met a group of USC jazz students and formed what would become the first full band iteration of Cab Ellis. While in LA, Cab Ellis released Nighttime OCD, their self-produced debut album, and The East Coast Hold On, with the help of legendary producer Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor).  In 2021, Abeles moved across the country to New York. Since then, Cab Ellis has completed two national tours and has sold-out iconic venues like Bowery Ballroom and Baby’s All Right. In an age where everything is polished and perfect, Cab Ellis’ live show and sound are a complete rebellion. Backed by an army of 6 jazz musicians bucking against the confines of their traditional training, Abeles’ heartfelt, explosive energy is capable of uniting a room full of strangers into one anarchic being. Cab Ellis is set to release their third studio album in April 2025. SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7hDfnuDsxOlgBPBEoa34Rh The New You

A powerful blend of jazz harmony, funky rhythmic concepts, and inner reflections; “Resolution” is a triumphant celebration of growth, spirit, and determination.

Joining Andrei is his trusty and mind-bendingly talented studio band featuring Christian Klinefelter (bass), Elliot Garland (keyboards), and Michael Mester (drums). An evening of acrobatic, daring, grooving, and expansive music awaits you on April 9th for a show that all music lovers will not want to miss. B.P.M. B.P.M is a group of local Philadelphia musicians consisting of Eli Pace on bass, Tate Berkey on drums, and Jake Miller on guitar. Even though they met through the jazz studies program at Temple University, each member of B.P.M has a rich history of playing styles outside of the jazz idiom. Through their shared interests in blues, rock, metal, and funk, Tate, Jake, and Eli decided to form a trio that honored the styles of music they grew up playing while also maintaining the aspects of jazz that brought them all together. B.P.M seeks to recreate the innovations of genre-defying musicians such as Wayne Krantz, Adam Rogers, and Oz Noy while providing their spin on the music, influenced by each member’s unique sound, and musical upbringing.

Johann is most recognizable for her raw, relatable lyrics and powerful voice. Super Jack You can ask a bunch of different people what “Super Jack” means to them and get many different answers. To you however, Super Jack is a singer-songwriter/producer who picks up soundscapes and concepts as he pleases like broken toys left strewn across the floor. His latest album “Icemaker” tries to find solace in a cold and icy synth landscape, though it remains a mystery if he ever actually found it. His music has been described as “outsider pop”, “post-punk”, and “alternative soul” alongside many other names that we can’t print on this website. Sore Winner Born from the ashes of their former band, Sore Winner is unstoppable. They are back and they are better than ever. Their live shows are incredibly immersive, leaving your ears ringing from the sheer power of their performance as well as from the cheers of both new and old fans alike. In addition to their thoughtful songwriting, this band’s unique and infectious melodies and grooves have a visceral effect on anyone who sees them perform.

The Portland-based duo first explored collaborating when they were 14, recording a song together in Josh’s childhood bedroom, before spending the next 15 years exploring their individual approaches to music separately and eventually crafting the dynamic perspective that would become New Constellations. The two debuted with the single, “Hot Blooded,” an incomprehensibly magnetic voyage that offers warmth and compassion, and has now amassed over 45 million streams. Following a monumental year, Harlee and Josh continue to radiate their electrifying chemistry, now amplified by the addition of Kyle, a remarkable third member. With his exceptional musical prowess, Kyle infuses their live performances with a refreshing and captivating new energy. They are gearing themselves for an upcoming album release that can only be described as a continuation of their signature gilded alchemy. Johnny Dynamite and the Bloodsuckers
