Dana Johann ~ Super Jack ~ Sore Winner

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 Dana Johann Originally from New Jersey and currently residing in Philadelphia, Dana Johann expresses herself through dreary, indie rock. 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.

New Constellations

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 New Constellations New Constellations – the ethereal brainchild of lifelong sidekicks Harlee Case and Josh Smith, and recent addition Kyle Farook – encapsulates a sonic dreamscape of eager melodies, striking guitar hooks, and celestial vocals that softly tangles listeners into a web of cosmic glory. 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.

Those Clever Foxes ~ latewaves ~ James Barrett

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 Those Clever Foxes Rock band from Pennsylvania who just wants to hang out. They do move in herds. https://www.facebook.com/thosecleverfoxespa https://open.spotify.com/artist/4BCZEZWe5wAYnOId1nRpRG Latewaves latewaves is a rock band from Asbury Park, NJ that is trying their best. https://www.facebook.com/latewaves https://open.spotify.com/artist/3cI085TbIyCN0OVGnd5K9u James Barrett James Barrett’s “before” looks a lot like yours. After releasing his debut LP The Price of Comfort, the Scranton singer-songwriter moved onto his next planning phase, stuck between eras labeled by plaintive acoustic tracks and the ringing clarity of a full-band effort. In October 2019, Barrett began writing what would become A Series Of… Mostly Nothing, a modest name for his most realized work yet. It’s a love letter to the hushed splendor of The National and the spaced-out bombast of Angels & Airwaves, embellished with a theatrical identity boosted by live strings, horns, and good friend Amanda Rogan lending vocals to many moments. https://open.spotify.com/artist/1PQvOviSTmHfSBsbKFXW09 https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=james%20barrett%20music

Winyah

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 Winyah Hailing from a small South Carolina beach town, Winyah emerged onto the music scene in early 2023 and has swiftly made their mark. They’ve shared stages with acclaimed artists such as The Red Clay Strays, The Vegabonds and The Stews, while also shredding festivals like Bonnaroo. Winyah’s live performances are a testament to their distinctive blend of indie and southern rock, featuring electrifying guitar solos and soulful vocals reminiscent of icons like Led Zeppelin, The Backseat Lovers, and flipturn. The band draws its name from Winyah Bay, a cherished landmark in their hometown where all five members spent their formative years. Their music is a reflection of the five rivers that converge into Winyah Bay, capturing the eternal summer vibes of their coastal upbringing. On the surface, Winyah delivers youthful energy and raw power, but their music also delves into themes of nostalgia and the bittersweet longing for childhood memories and cherished places.

Frankie and the Witch Fingers ~ Population II

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: 8:00 PM Frankie and the Witch Fingers Los Angeles psych-punk shapeshifters Frankie and the Witch Fingers have spent the last decade mutating their sound into bold, electrifying new forms. Their latest release, Trash Classic (via Greenway Records and The Reverberation Appreciation Society), plunges into a sewer-slick fusion of proto-punk venom, fractured new wave, and industrial grime. Brimming with wiry synths, angular melodies, and grooves that squirm and bite, it’s all delivered with a sly, playful wink. Fueled by relentless global touring and a fierce DIY ethos, the band has shared stages with OFF!, Ty Segall, Oh Sees, Cheap Trick, and ZZ Top, cementing their place as one of the most unforgettable live acts around. Frankie and the Witch Fingers continue to morph, dragging listeners into whatever warped direction their experimental journey takes next. Population II Population II is a band dedicated to its disengagement, constantly working on refining their imposing, yet unpretentious sound. A trio consisting of singer/drummer Pierre-Luc Gratton, guitarist/keyboardist Tristan Lacombe and bassist Sébastien Provençal, Population II are masters at both improvised madness and sophisticated composition, delivering heavy psychedelic rock infused with feverish funk rhythms, a hint of jazz philosophy, a burst of energy reminiscent of punk’s early days, and a love of minor scales that harkens back to the roots of heavy metal.
