Twain (solo)
LOW TICKETS
Thurdsay 3.27.25 - 5:30pm - Tickets
“There is nothing remarkable about my life that is necessary to know in order to appreciate the songs,” says Matthew Davidson of Twain.

Esther Rose (solo)
LOW TICKETS
Thurdsay 3.27.25 - 5:30pm - Tickets
Everything clicks on Safe to Run, the fourth album from singer, songwriter and perpetual searcher Esther Rose. It’s the quiet culmination of years spent fully immersed in a developing artistry, and presents Rose’s always vividly detailed emotional scenes with new levels of clarity and control. As with previous work, her songwriting transfigures the chaos and uncertainty of a life in progress, but here she sharpens the pop elements and attaches unshakably catchy hooks to even the darkest stretches of the journey.
After spending her formative years in Michigan, Rose relocated to New Orleans and got her start in music there while awash in the unparalleled energy of the city’s scene. Over the course of her first three records, an infatuation with traditional country gradually evolved into a more distinctive style and increasingly personal material.
Rose’s music traced her changes as she moved through stages, studios, and home addresses, and she eventually left NOLA for New Mexico where the two year writing process for Safe to Run unfolded. Making the transition to this new environment after spending the better part of a decade building a life somewhere else demanded looking around and taking stock. All the heaviness, sweetness, levity, and self-discovery that had led up to that point began funneling into new songs that moved slower in order to dig deeper, taking on the intricate hues of a desert horizon as they came together.
The Wormdogs

TAXIDERMISTS
w/ Dari Bay
& Rockin' Worms
Saturday 3.29.25 - 10:30pm - Tickets
Since meeting in high school, Salvadore McNamara and Cooper Handy have slowly and steadily worn down their own distinct rut in the East Coast post-everything guitar based music underground. As Taxidermists, the duo have been flying on the cusp of above and below the radar for a few years now. With a handful of excellent releases, and a constant stream of live shows, the Massachusetts based band has wholeheartedly embraced what the kids used to call DIY. No pretension, no gimmick and having nothing to prove to anyone but themselves has melded their playing into a sound of their own. Drums playing as much melody as they are keeping time, high-IQ guitar playing, and lyrics that simultaneously remain fractured and hit straight to the point. Taxidermists songs and shows are often short and to the point, leaving you both satisfied and wanting more. Recently Cooper has found success with his solo project LUCY (Cooper B. Handy).

JATOBA

"In my music, writing and performance, I attempt my level best to fashion old skins from new grapes and graft the weird branch of U.S. American vernacular onto our post-nuclear bough. All tradition should be inoculated, contaminated from without because never pure to begin with. In no particular order and recently, Apollinaire (always), Elizabeth Bishop, Chögyam Trungpa, David Graeber, Lorca, Nina Simone, Robert Macfarlane.
My father has been a professional storyteller and children’s performer, my mother his manager. So the question as a kid was always where is the storyline here, who’s that speaking with the accent anyway and what are they carrying over the hill in that large black bag of theirs? My work seems to have preferred hard-to-come-by places over the years—underpopulated bars in Berlin Germany, street corners, defunct blogs, one time the Princeton University Graduate Center on a Tuesday night, yikes. I’m not at all sure how you came across this website, but however you did, you’re very welcome. It’s intended as a sort of portal to the various incarnations all the time and effort taken over the years, and I hope you delight in the spelunk. If you do enjoy the work it is available for purchase, all received gratefully in the form of encouragement and a warm cup of coffee." - Noah B. Harley
BABE REPORT
& PREWN
w/ Greaseface
& the leatherbound books
Wednesday 4.9.25 - 8:00pm - Tickets
Babe Report is a freshly minted fuzzy post-punk/rock band from Chicago, containing previous members of Yeesh, Geronimo!, FCKR JR, and others. Drawing inspiration from varied sources such as Kleenex, Lightning Bolt, and Yo La Tengo, the band manages to carve their own path forward through a crunchy abyss of sing-song melodies, lush reverb, and crushing drums.
Prewn has grown to become one of Western Massachusetts’ most in-demand bands. Through The Window is an intimate introduction to the project, capturing a place and time, the songs urgently needing to find their way out. The attention to detail throughout the album is obvious, these are thoughtful songs, nuanced in construction, from the raw and pinched guitars to the stability (and lack of stability) in the rhythms. There’s a sense of warbling character in the music, Prewn’s songs are standing firm but on shaky legs. That’s the magic inherent in Hagerup’s writing, she’s steadfast and holding on, but she’s not immune to slipping in stormy weather.

DUTCH EXPERTS
w/ VOID BRINGER
Friday 4.11.25 - 10:00pm - Tickets available soon!
Dutch Experts was born out of the Covid pandemic amidst the crumbling of societal infrastructure. This destruction mirrored singer/songwriter Hannah Hoffman’s own experiences during lockdown. Turning one of her lowest and most challenging points into a revisitation of her approach to sound, Hoffman began experimenting with layering synths and electronic drum beats in Garageband, creating a sonic landscape that bore the fruits of Dutch Experts and the creation of a debut EP, ‘Bound by This’. Inspired by her personal challenges, the gothic landscape of The Cure, and melodic choices informed by Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins, Hoffman locked into a sound that became uniquely modern yet captured an 80s sonic sensibility: synth pop with a darkwave edge.
Currently in the process of writing a full-length album, Dutch Experts draws inspiration from excavating through darkness to find the light. Seven Days says, “Hoffman is world-building, and the atmosphere she's cultivated is at once retro and speculative, bringing sonic comfort and uneasy emotional possibility to the same songs…this EP makes me feel as if I'm on the cusp of a vast universe, and as the Vermont music scene reemerges post-pandemic, I'm excited to see Hoffman making a fresh home within it.”

Thanya Iyer is both a person and a band. Thanya Iyer the person, is 1/3 of Thanya Iyer the band. The other 2/3s are made up of Alex, Dan, and other great friends. Thanya Iyer (the band) has done a lot (released an album, released a mixtape, played at festivals, played in every time zone in North America, etc). Thanya Iyer (the person) has done all this and then some. Thanya Iyer (the person) is a very busy person. Thanya Iyer (the band) is a very busy band and the sound has evolved to reflect this. Thanya Iyer (the band) struggles to define their music (only when asked, they don't think about it the rest of the time) and rather than recite a list of genres and sub-genres, they would rather you just listen and tell them. But for the lazy (or busy) people out there maybe Future-Folk is accurate (or vague) enough? Thanya Iyer (the person and the band) will continue her and their never-ending quest to bring joy to those they come in contact with. Using music, conversation, green tea, and miscellaneous.

The ballroom thieves
LOW TICKETS
Sunday 4.20.25 - 7:00pm - Tickets
As acclaimed indie folk band The Ballroom Thieves wrote and recorded their upcoming album, one central question emerged as the theme: “What if we could all just be a little more tender?” The duo – Calin Peters (vocals, cello, bass) and Martin Earley (vocals, guitar) – started to ponder what they could do to be more self-aware of their mental health and of those around them in a world oversaturated by social media, pop-culture, and digital consumption. The result is a personal, lush, 10-track collection of thoughts on the human experience called Sundust.
Their most personal album to date, Sundust is about self-awareness, breaking down walls that trauma creates, and healing from harshness, but it's also about finding the glimmers, the striking beauty of being a person, and a longing for connection with healthy people. Sundust will be released on April 12 via Nettwerk.

She is inspired by the rich sounds of New York City, the peaceful quiet of her small hometown, and everything in between.
ANNA MCCLELLAN
Thursday 4.24.25 - 8:00pm - Tickets avaailable soon!
Anna McClellan’s childhood summers were spent in front of the TV, cementing a love of narrative that would later reveal itself through songwriting. By seventeen, Anna McClellan was performing original songs in her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Her debut album, Fire Flames, garnered attention and earned her an opening slot on a Frankie Cosmos tour, setting the stage for her subsequently adored albums, 2018’s Yes and No and I saw first light, released in late 2020. Now, with her forthcoming fourth album Electric Bouquet, McClellan crafts a musical journey that unfolds like one of her cherished television series.
Each track is an episode, chronicling the past four years of her life – navigating electrician school, a cross-country move, and relationships gone sour.
Electric Bouquet showcases McClellan's ability to transform life's myriad experiences into captivating musical stories. Recorded in multiple sessions in Baltimore, MD and Omaha and co-produced with long-time collaborator Ryan McKeever and Another Recording Company Studios engineer Adam Roberts, Electric Bouquet shifts seamlessly between piano-driven melodies and guitar-anchored anthems, each song a miniature universe slowly opening unto itself.
