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 Big ShrimpBig Shrimp, formerly known as Baked Shrimp, is reborn with a new lineup and an invigorated sound, ready to take the music world by storm. The versatile quartet is home to Bridgeport, CT, and features established members Jared Sage Cowen (Guitar/Vocals) and Jager Soss (Drums/Vocals), along with new additions Max Perrotti (Bass/Vocals) and Matt Takesh (Keyboard/Vocals). Their transformation from a power trio to a quartet has expanded their musical horizons, blending risk-taking progressive fusion rock with fresh, polished, innovative elements. Since their original formation in 2017, the band’s high-octane energy, unique songwriting, and improvisational prowess have secured them a prominent spot in the festival circuit. Known as the hardest-working band in the business, they performed over 215 concerts between 2022 and 2023. Last summer, they made their debut at prestigious festivals like Peach Music Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Northlands Live, and Mile of Music. In addition to these festival appearances, they had the honor of supporting acts such as Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead, The Disco Biscuits, Dopapod, Twiddle, and Andy Frasco & The U.N. Despite their relentless touring schedule, the band consistently released new music, including their latest fifth album, “Baked Shrimp.” This album featured songs like “Chop Suey” and “Can’t Cut the Mustard,” which earned an honorable spot on the Spotify editorial playlist “Modern Jam Band.” Uncle Kunkel’s One Gram Band

Thumpasaurus & Guerilla Toss
Thumpasaurus + Guerilla Toss at Underground ArtsFriday, December 1st, 2023Doors: 7:00 PM | Show: 7:30 PM21+ ThumpasaurusWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | Spotify In the beginning there was Thump… The primordial groove of the Universe. Thump thumped its way through all things. In the beginning groove was harmony, and harmony was groove, and it was good. Long before the age of humans, the Thumpasaurus roamed the Earth, serving the cosmos as the teachers of the Thump. The thump traversed all beings, and the Thumpasarus helped distribute its secret wisdom to all sentient and non-sentient creatures. It was good. As time passed and the Earth fluctuated between periods of great peace and great unrest, the Thumpasaurus became a threat to growing forces of evil- who fueled by a primary motivation in consumerism sought to eliminate the Thumpasaurus. To save the species and protect the goodness of the Universe, The Thumpasaurus fled the earth to the outer reaches of space time – though the Thumpasaurus swore to return to the Earth as harbingers of the age of reawakening. In their last gift to the consciousness of the cosmic manifestation of the Earth and its beings, the Thumpasaurus wrote down the secrets of the Thump in a manuscript of real troof and buried it in a sacredly SECRET location (the Appalachian mountains) in hopes that the Thump would survive and benefit future generations with happiness, love, and thump. As buildings turned to sand, and memories to dust, so too did the ancient memory of the Thumpasaurus and with them disappeared the philosophy of Thump. Guerilla TossWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | SpotifyDig deep enough inside yourself—start treating your body as your sanctuary rather than your enemy—and eventually you’ll find yourself blooming right back out into the sun. That’s the transformation Guerilla Toss trace on their newest album “Famously Alive,” their effervescent Sub Pop debut. After a decade sprinkling glitter into grit, building a reputation as one of the most ferociously creative art-rock groups working, the upstate New York band have eased fully into their light. This is Guerilla Toss at their most luminescent—awake, alive, and extending an open invitation to anyone who wants to soak it all up beside them. Singer and lyricist Kassie Carlson, multi-instrumentalist Peter Negroponte and guitarist Arian Shafiee wrote “Famously Alive” at home in the Catskills during the pervading quiet of the pandemic year.
