TEJON STREET CORNET THIEVES vs. THEM COULEE BOYS

with JASON CRUZ AND HOWL

Doors 7pm/ Show 8pm

Tejon Street Corner Thieves 

Outlaw Alt-Folk group Tejon Street Corner Thieves hails from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, bringing new energy to the Bluegrass genre by mingling darker subjects and tones with depth-driven lyricism and performative musicianship. 

The musicians behind Tejon have been playing together since 2013, where they gained momentum in the local Colorado scene with accolades and press coverage around the state, spanning from Colorado Springs’ Colorado Springs Gazette to Denver’s 303 Magazine. The band eventually caught the eye of Banjo-attacking murder folk troubadour Amigo The Devil and signed to his recently-launched record label Liars Club.

Tejon Street Corner Thieves released their latest project ‘Thick As Thieves’ on May 20th, a 12-track LP. The record was recorded at Royal Recordings in Colorado Springs with producer Bill Douglas, and combines Americana, folk, and bluegrass into an intoxicating mix with a unique outlaw, trash-grass twist.

Over the past few years, Tejon has grown out of their local acclaim, becoming a national voice amongst the Bluegrass community for both their unique sound and charming antics. Following the COVID-19 shutdown, Tejon got extensive news coverage when the band took to the road (on a school bus), performing their music for fans from a safe distance. Their ingenuity brought in a stream of new fans, propelling their music mainstream. 

Tejon is set to embark on an extensive tour in 2022, headlining a string of dates on the Thick As Thieves tour, and as support on The Dead South’s summer tour. For all upcoming TSCT tour dates, head to:  https://www.cornerthieves.com/tour

Them Coulee Boys

“from pure and genuine ballads to a leaping, countrified take on rock and roll”

Soren Staff and Beau Janke—co-founders of folk/rock/Americana outfit Them Coulee
Boys—met as camp counselors in northern Wisconsin in 2011. Their weekend workshopping of
Avett Brothers tunes led to original songs and adding Soren’s brother Jens on mandolin. As the
years grew, the band turned into a more rollicking outfit, adding Neil Krause on electric bass
and Stas Hable on drums.
The band’s name is a nod to the glacial melt-carved river valleys they call home, known by early
French fur trappers as coulees. 2023 marks the 10th year since launching themselves during a
now legendary apple farm hootenanny. Known for wild swings of emotion during sets, it is not
unusual to see fans in tears and minutes later dancing with abandon. The honesty and ability to
talk and sing about the feelings and emotions that shape them has endeared them to a growing
group of fans and friends.
With four full-length albums and an EP behind them, including 2019’s Die Happy (produced by
Trampled By Turtles’ Dave Simonett on Lo-Hi Records) and 2021’s Namesake (produced by
Grammy winner Brian Joseph), the band has garnered international attention and earned press
in American Songwriter, Ditty TV, Folk Alley, and The Bluegrass Situation, as well as tours with
Trampled By Turtles and a spot on the songwriter’s Cayamo Cruise.
2021’s Namesake found the band following a new trajectory, combining their signature take on
folk-grass and Americana with comfort on electric instruments and playing rock and roll. The
record lives and breathes. It’s both intimate and bombastic. It’s the sweet aunt who makes
delicious pies and the wiley uncle who’s not afraid to hit a bit of the hooch. At the bottom is the
acceptance that comes with family and old friends; none of us are perfect, but there’s enough
love out there to make up for it.
In 2020, they were named Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Band to Watch. In 2021, they won
Bluegrass/Americana Band of the Year by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry.

FREDDIE GIBBS

with MAXO and REAPER MOOK

Doors 8pm / Show 9pm

Gangsta Gibbs season continues…

$oul $old $eparately has arrived as one of the most universally applauded hip-hop album of 2022. Rolling Stone proclaimed, “$oul $old $eparately is the culmination of a long journey that brings to mind a boxing legend,” going as far as to assert, “Every step Freddie Gibbs takes is historic.” PAPER attested, “Across the album’s 15 tracks, Gibbs explores every inch of his futuristic space casino as he stomps over a wide collection of beats ranging from Madlib to James Blake, DJ Paul to Kaytranada,” and Variety declared, “$oul $old $eparately is the pinnacle of Gibbs’ rap career.” NPR hailed, “It’s a rewarding listen from an artist still in his prime,” and The FADER named it one of “The 15 Projects You Should Stream Right Now.”

The new LP, which boasts features from Pusha T, Moneybagg Yo, Kelly Price, Rick Ross, Offset, and many more, finds the GRAMMY®-nominated artist digging deeper into his past and his psyche than ever before, further cementing his status as one of hip-hop’s most authoritative voices. Gibbs celebrated the release by unveiling a surreal visual for album highlight "Space Rabbit" which finds him wandering the desert with the titular character.

$oul $old $eparately marks 15+ years of an illustrious career and a reputation for ruthless honesty and deeply personal writing which have built Gibbs an extensive rolodex. His collaborators include the two producers with whom he’s become most closely associated: Madlib, who helmed 2014’s Pinata and 2019’s Bandana, and Alchemist, who teamed with Gibbs for 2020’s Alfredo, which earned the pair a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Rap Album. Kaytranada, Jake One, Boi-1da, Justice League, and DJ Dahi also make contributions behind the boards, while James Blake, Anderson .Paak and Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul produce and contribute vocals. Beyond the musicians are celebrities like Kevin Durant, Joe Rogan, and Jeff Ross, who pay tribute to Gibbs’ grind or rib him for his vices.

Gibbs joined Warner Records shortly after releasing his collaborative album with Alchemist. In addition to his continued musical dominance, Gibbs shows huge promise as an actor, starring in Diego Ongaro’s award-winning film Down with the King, and appearing on TV shows like 50 Cent’s Power Book IV: Force and Peacock’s Bust Down. His on-screen work has already received critical praise, suggesting he will be a potent dual threat for years to come.

MOONSHINE BANDITS

with CHARLIE FARLEY, GOAT, and BRANDON HART

Doors 7pm/ Show 8pm

Backwoods bravado, patriot’s pride, country soul, keg-thumping beats — these are the qualities that Moonshine Bandits have championed since they began their journey.  Armed with a hybrid arsenal of country and hip hop fusion, the California duo of Dusty ‘Tex’ Dahlgren and Brett ‘Bird’ Brooks are back with the grittiest, spirited and distinctly grass-roots release of their sixteen year campaign of musical badassery – “Gold Rush.”

If you ain’t about this life then you ain’t about shit.” – From the Track ‘Mud Money’ on the Moonshine Bandits latest release ‘Gold Rush”’

Since their formation in Los Banos California in 2003 the Moonshine Bandits have continued a campaign of crossover genre-bending musical mayhem that appeals to the eclectic, color-outside-the-lines tastes of listeners, aka The Shiners, and they fiercely refuse to have their tastes confined and filed into categories. “Our musical style has always been full throttle and in your face,” says Moonshine Bandit Tex.  Just like the rumrunners, bootleggers, smugglers and outlaws of old – the Moonshine Bandits provide a supply of the goods for the demand, defying the mandates and trends of mainstream pop culture.

The course of their career has seen ups and downs, hard partying and self-reflection. The Moonshine Bandits have crisscrossed the country performing hundreds of shows a year, ventured into branding their own beef jerky and moonshine, collaborated with some of the music business’s most prolific artists, outshined in the face of record industry roadblocks, earned a fiercely loyal fan following, and embrace the unconventional.  Hell, they’ve even had the honor of friend and adult film legend Tera Patrick spicing up a music video! It’s all part of a journey filled with good, bad and even some ugly, but ultimately the Moonshine Bandit philosophy is summed up by Tex and Bird’s joint statement – “We always felt there aren’t stops or boundaries if you pave your own lane.”

And now the Moonshine Bandits have hit the proverbial motherlode with the release of Gold Rush on their very own record label MSB. Taking its inspiration from all that embodied the struggles and successes of America’s extraordinary era when dreams were being made while hunting for that elusive precious gem. It wasn’t entirely about the dollar sign though.  The Gold Rush was far more dynamic in terms of the greater meaning and effect it had on all those who took part. Big or small, bust or windfall, for many people the Gold Rush ultimately provided the experience of building a new life in a wild place that had a code of its own.

“Our Gold Rush wasn’t always about the glitter because we took the long haul,” Tex says, and just like many of the hopeful dreamers who panned the creeks of the old west’s badlands, the Moonshine Bandits encountered their share of setbacks but never quit. “We got in the trenches,” Tex continues, “learned and got burned.”  The group’s Gold Rush reflects on a career that wasn’t about following some set of rules; this is about living by a code. Now with the debut of their own label, the group can fully exercise that code. “There’s a right way, a wrong way, and now there’s our way.”  Characterize it as rebellion, call it anti-establishment, or perhaps it’s a little bit of symbolic of an elusive time when there actually was Honor among thieves, but the Bandits simply see it as lessons learned from experience.

Thematically, Tex and Bird describe the Gold Rush album as homage not only to the band’s career journey but also, and profoundly, “a journey about the people we have come in contact with.  The people that inspire our songs.”  This is especially true of the track “Two Bar Town” which speaks volumes of the brick and mortar, mom and pop’s, local friends and corner watering holes that truly provided the foundation of everyday life, culture and economics in America. Tex says the theme is all about the ‘small town’ and despite the fact that ‘small towns’ have naturally changed with time that “doesn’t mean you have to, you can still be proud of where you came from and keep those memories forever.

Long before people figured out country and rap had a lot in common, the Moonshine Bandits released their genre-blending album, “Whiskey & Women,” and took the world of outlaw music by storm. The group’s blue-collar work ethic and unwavering persistence has led to over 60 million views on the ShinerTV YouTube channel – collectively over 80 million views on YouTube – while their video for “My Kind of Country” peaked at #1 on CMT Pure. The Bandits also charted Billboard simultaneously with a top 10 in Rap and a top 20 in Country Music and have been Recognized by Rolling Stone Magazine, CMT, Youtube Honors, MTV, AOL THE BOOT, YAHOO, and the list goes on.  Connecting with fans on all levels, Moonshine Bandits have built a solid “Shiner Nation” of loyal fans, started their own 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization known as Operation Packing Company, Inc. that specializes in sending supplies to our Troops Overseas, Beef Jerky and legal Moonshine. The Bandits earned a 2018 Telly Award for their “Take This Job” music video featuring David Allan Coe

WHITEY MORGAN

Doors 7pm / Show 8pm

In a career spanning 15 years, Morgan has released five studio albums and a live recording from his
hometown of Flint, Michigan. Additionally, he has toured relentlessly averaging over 125 shows annually.
Rolling Stone has described him as a "Waylon Jennings acolyte.. modern day outlaw [with a] hard hitting
blue-collar brand of music" while NPR Music hailed, "Staying close to the sound and subject matter of
classic outlaw artists like Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and David Allan Coe, Morgan is poised to lead
this hand-worn brand of country to the next generation." His most recent LP, Sonic Ranch (2015), was
released to critical acclaim and praised by Detroit Free Press as, "a bold well-crafted album that doesn't
forsake the gritty undercurrent running through Morgan's stuff."
Whitey Morgan and the 78's anticipated new album, self-produced by Morgan, was recorded in the Neve
Room at famed Sonic Ranch Studios in Tornillo, Texas. Featured on the record are collaborations with
acclaimed songwriters Travis Meadows and Ward Davis plus a cover of ZZ Top's "Just Got Paid."
Alongside Morgan, the 78's consist of Brett Robinson (pedal steel guitar), Joey Spina (guitar), Alex Lyon
(bass) and Eric Savage (drums).
Of the recording, Morgan shares, "It's not like my vision happened overnight. I've been chipping away at it
forever. It's slowly evolving and it's going in a little bit different direction. It's not so straightforward
anymore. This record definitely has a wider path, it's broader, but it still sounds like a Whitey Morgan
record." With grandparents from Tennessee and Kentucky and hometown roots in Flint, Michigan,
Morgan's family geography has factored into his approach to music.

It’s only through tireless perseverance and attention to artistry, that they were proudly able toachieve these awards completely independently.

The saga continues as the group continues to release a new, genre-spanning single every two weeks as apart of the Maoli Music Overload project.

SPECIAL EARLY SHOW: VIOLENT FEMMES

with JESSE AHERN

Doors 5pm / Show 6pm

The world may look different, but every generation goes through high school—or something like it.

Back in 1983,Violent Femmes documented the boredom,theanxiety,theelation,thedepression, and the wonder of the high school experience, while living it on their seminal self-titled full-length debut,Violent Femmes. Akin to other totems to growing up a la Catcher In The Rye, this album has only proven more relevant as it’s lived through the fall of the Berlin Wall,the advent of the internet, an uneventfu lY2K, a very eventful turn-of-the-century, seven presidents, and one pandemic to celebrateits 40th birthday.

So, how did these tracks make it this long?

For starters, they’re real. Frontman, singer, songwriter, and guitarist Gordon Gano chronicled life as a high schooler in Milwaukee as it was happening to him (he didn’t do so years retrospectively as a twenty-something). So, his lyrics reeked of glorious awkwardness, whether it be the head-scratching confession of “I stain my sheets” on opener “Blister In The Sun” or the prick principal’s warning,“I hope you knowthat this will go down on your permanent record,”during “Kiss Off.” This was the ultimate report fromthe frontlines of the teenage experiencebefore we got so used to such a thingin wantonly self-indulgent social media posts(back then the drinking age was 18!).

As the story goes, Gordon and band mates drummer Victor DeLorenzo and bassist Brian Ritiche recorded in at Castle Recording Studios in Lake Geneva, WIover the course ofone weekend. For as open-heartedas the lyrics may be, the single takes allowedfor the cracks and grooves of Brian’s sole snare drum torattle your brain and Brian’s acoustic bass to throb intently and wildlylike a bucking bronco on crystalmeth.Also,who could forget Gordon’s masterfully plucky riffs?

The record also harbors a quirky history befitting of its whacky legacy. Of note, their fans practically destroyed Carnegie Hall when they played in ’86, leading to a ban for the group and every other rock band for twenty years!

It was also the album that enshrined Violent Femmes folk punk progenitors. It led to sales of 3 million-plus, placements on“greatest albums of the eighties” lists by the likes of Pitchfork, a slot on the first Lollapaloozain 1991, coheadlining Big Day Out Festival with Nirvana in 1992, prevalence in Grosse Pointe Blank in 1997, and a cover of “Gone Daddy Gone” by Gnarls Barkley [Danger Mouse x Cee Lo] on their platinum St. Elsewherein 2006.

Some of their contemporaries may have shifted tens of millions of units, received constant rotation on MTV, picked up GRAMMY Awards, and sold more shirts at Hot Topic, but few (if any) made an album asprescient, potent, and powerful from top-to-bottom as Violent Femmes. The master recordings mayhave been lost for over three decades, but the band will play it once again in its entirety on tour in 2023.

If you haven’t seen them since high school or college, bring your kids and their friends, because they are just as daring, dangerous, and dynamic as ever.You know high school still sucks, but Violent Femmes fucking rule

An Evening of Comedy with

STEVE HOFSTETTER (LATE SHOW)

Doors 9:30pm/ Show 10pm // Fully Seated 

Author, columnist, and comedian Steve Hofstetter is often called the hardest working man in show-business. With all due respect to the late James Brown.

Hofstetter's national TV debut came on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has also appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson", Showtime's "White Boyz in the Hood", VH1's "Countdown", Sundance's "On the Road in America", and ABC's "Barbara Walter's Special", where he thankfully did not cry. He is the host and executive producer of "Laughs" on Fox networks, where he only cries occasionally.

One of the top booked acts on the college circuit, the original writer for collegehumor.com has also released six albums. Hofstetter has written humor columns for the New York Times, SportsIllustrated.com, and NHL.com, where he publicly admitted to being a Ranger fan.

After hosting Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio for two seasons, Hofstetter moved to broadcast radio, and his Sports Minute (Or So) was syndicated on over 170 stations and in over 30 newspapers. Hofstetter's second live comedy album ("Cure For the Cable Guy") reached #20 on Billboard's comedy charts. His third album ("Dark Side of the Room") was the first ever pay-what-you-want" comedy album, since people were going to steal it anyway. His fourth album consisted of an hour of 100% ad-libbed material, which is, frankly, nuts. And his fifth album hit #1 on iTunes' comedy charts, which is also a bit nuts.

Hofstetter's brutal tour schedule consists of over 100 colleges and dozens of clubs every year, and is fueled by an immense online popularity, tons of press, and a Prius with great gas mileage. He reached 200,000 friends on Facebook (still the world record), 400,000 more on MySpace, and high shelves in grocery stores.

While Hofstetter's live shows are routinely sold out, he is best known for his writing, first published at age 15, mainly to impress girls. At 18, he co-founded "Sports Jerk of the Week", an irreverent website featured by press like USA Today's Baseball Weekly, Sports Illustrated and CNN. And at 20, Hofstetter took a year off of school to head up web content for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series that year, which would have been wonderful if they hadn't beaten Hofstetter's Mets. Yes, he's also a Mets fan. Poor kid.

While an undergraduate at Columbia University, Hofstetter was a well-read columnist for the Columbia Daily Spectator and a voice of the Lions. After a summer writing for Maxim, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated for Kids, Hofstetter syndicated his column in several newspapers.

Without his glasses, Hofstetter also looks a great deal like Michael Rappaport.

PORANGUÍ

with ASHLEY KLEIN and MURRAY KYLE

Doors 6pm / Show 7pm

Beauty Way Tour: A Music, Dance, and Healing Experience

Multicultural musician, healer, and educator Poranguí will return to Ventura, CA on 5/7/2023 at Ventura Music Hall. He and co-facilitator Ashley Klein will create an intentional container to experience the healing power of music, dance, and authentic expression. Poranguí’s live music set will be complemented by Ashley’s vocal guidance and live visual projections creating an unforgettable journey through the beauty of the earth and the tapestry of life. 

The Beauty Way album and tour are inspired by Diné (Navajo) teachings from Poranguí & Ashley’s beloved Southwest. To walk in the Beauty Way is to live in balance and harmony with the unfolding of all life. Walking the Beauty Way together, we weave ourselves more deeply into the fabric of the earth, herself. Porangui’s forthcoming album, Beauty Way, will be released on April 21, 2023.
Poranguí and Ashley will be joined by Murray Kyle, a mystic troubadour hailing from the visionary Byron Bay region of Australia, for an opening set of heart medicine and Earth honoring songs. His contagious soul restoring music will sweep you off your feet, out of your head, and into your heart.
Hózhóogo naasháa doo.  May we all walk in beauty.

About Poranguí:

Reared among the three cultures of Brazil, Mexico and the U.S., Poranguí was steeped in various traditional forms of music, healing and ceremony since birth. Drawing from his cross-cultural background and ethnomusicology training at Duke University, Poranguí has over twenty-five years of international work experience as an artist, musician, healer, and educator, utilizing the healing properties of sound and movement to foster our individual and collective well being.

As a live looping artist and one-man orchestra Poranguí weaves ancestral songs and indigenous rhythms from around the globe. Creating his performances from scratch using looping technology, Poranguí’s live grooves range from meditative to dance, moving the body, lifting the spirit, and transcending the divide between performer and audience. His World Soul concerts have taken him around the globe and led him to collaborate with many artists, including a current album series titled Kuya Sessions with Liquid Bloom.

JACKIE GREENE

Doors 7pm / Show 8pm

Americana and roots singer-songwriter Jackie Greene is a jack-of-all-trades, and an artist who can croon over soulful piano ballads as much as he can shred a bluesy guitar solo (like he did as the lead guitarist for The Black Crowes in 2013). A road warrior and musician's musician, Greene's new EP 'The Modern Lives - Vol 2' (out October 2018 on Blue Rose Music) finds him at a new chapter in his life: his first months of fatherhood, time off his relentless touring circuit, and a cross-country move from Brooklyn to his birthplace of Northern California.

This new collection of six original songs is a thematic extension of 'The Modern Lives - Vol 1' EP (released in 2017 on Blue Rose Music), imbued with a Brooklyn basement DIY feel and ethos. He is a student of American music, transfixed upon its progression through time, as well as how regional sounds fit in a contemporary context. Whereas 'Vol 1' saw Greene experiment with the Delta blues as a canvas for his examinations of modern society, 'Vol 2' sees Greene embrace the sounds of the bluegrass and folk tapes of his youth.

Lead single "Crazy Comes Easy" showcases Greene's dynamic, multi-instrumental range as he plays slide guitar, organ, bass, and percussion, the guitar licks an appreciative nod to his time in The Black Crowes. Meanwhile, "Good Old Bad Times" highlights Greene as the songwriter as he rattles off lines like "How can somebody find a future? / If they ain't got a foothold in the past?" while taking a critical eye to the idea of nostalgia. Piano ballad "Victim Of The Crime" was one of Jackie's oldest demos up until the feel of these sessions gave him the tools to finish a song that, in his words, was written for his wife before she was his wife. While the title possesses a kind of melodrama, the song itself is tender and heartfelt as he details love's trials and tribulations.

Greene partnered with Academy Award-nominated "king of indie animation" Bill Plympton for a series of music videos for 'The Modern Lives - Vol 1' that would eventually become an animated short film titled 'The Modern Lives'. The film is currently making the rounds at film festivals where it has already won the Jury Award at the USA Film Festival in Dallas, TX, and the Grand Remi Award / Best in Show at WorldFest in Houstin, TX. The short is also being exhibited at the 71st Festival de Cannes/Court Metrage, Melbourne International Animation Festival, and ASIFA-East Festival, amongst others.

GBH Embark on US "City Babys"40th Anniversary Tour

  1. Punk rock legends celebrate their classic albums"City Baby Attacked by Rats"(1982) and "City Babys Revenge"(1983)"
  2. It all started as a bit of fun and something to do really." GBH guitarist Jock Blyth is talking about the band he formed with three friends 45 years ago in Birmingham, England. Like many other British youth at the time, GBH formed after seeing The Clash live. The enthusiastic teens setabout their craft with a determination typical of their working-class upbringings. "We were writing songs at a furious pace then and would throw them in the set straight away", says Blyth. Their energy paid off as the band was quickly signed to Clay Records, an independent label run by Mike Stone. "He came to see us supporting Discharge on one of our early tours and came up to the dressing room afterwards to say how much he’d enjoyed our set. He asked us to join Clay records shortly after and we jumped at the chance."
  3. The signing paid off as the band exploded onto the charts upon the release of their first full length LP, City Baby Attacked by Rats, in 1982. Jock realized his world was forever changed."I remember listening to the album chart countdown on the radio.It was a Sunday afternoon and straight after a Jimi Hendrix track from a compilation album they played the title track. I couldn’t believe it and ran to my father's room to let him hear it. He’d been of the opinion of 'you’ll never get anywhere' and 'you should get aproper job' up till then, and in his own way I could tell he was impressed even though he was reluctant to show it. "Attacked reached number 17 in the UK charts and the band embarked on a whirlwind year of touring and recording, culminating in the release of their second album City Babys Revenge in 1983. Revenge defied the sophomore slump of many bands, presenting a tighter, even more ferocious sound, tempered with GBH's trademark sense of humor. It spawned two UK Top 10 singles, "Give Me Fire" and "Do What You Do" and brought the band to international audiences." Shortly after its release we did ourfirst American tour" says Blyth. "It lasted 3 months. We met so many interesting people, many of who are friends of ours up until today". "The songs had been pretty well rehearsed," Blyth observes, "they kept the energy from the live shows in the recordings." Combined, the albums form a 1-2 punch that has influenced countless bands since and maintained relevance in both the punk and metal canon.
  4. GBH stayed on the road and having been touring the globe almost continuously since then, often playing 100 or more shows a year. The band has released 9 more studio albums, along with numerous EPs, live albums and bootlegs. 2023 sees GBH return to the US, on a 26-citytour, where the band will be celebrating these two iconic early albums. "We love playing these songs live. It transports us back to those times and places and never gets old to us. 40 years later we never dreamed we’d still be doing this...It’s turned into life itself."

THE MOTHER HIPS

Doors 8pm/ Show 9pm

  1. Founded nearly 30 years ago, The Mother Hips caught their first big break before they’d even finished college, when legendary producer Rick Rubin signed the band to his American Recordings label. In the decades to come, the group would go on to release ten critically acclaimed studio albums and cement themselves as architects of a new breed of California rock and soul, one equally informed by the breezy harmonies of the Beach Boys, the funky roots of The Band, and the psychedelic Americana of Buffalo Springfield. Praised by Rolling Stone as “divinely inspired” and hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “one of the Bay Area’s most beloved live outfits,” the group’s headline and festival performances have become the stuff of legend, earning them slots everywhere from High Sierra to Outside Lands alongside dates with the likes of Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams, Wilco, and The Black Crowes.

    Written and recorded through the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, the band’s new album, Glowing Lantern, is a work of great comfort and companionship, even as it grapples with the deep anxiety of these profoundly uncertain times. The songs are weighty, abstract ruminations wrapped in unflagging optimism, bittersweet streams of consciousness delivered with a palpable sense of camaraderie and brotherhood. Glowing Lantern is as collaborative a record as the band has ever made, and it’s impossible not to feel the joy and gratitude radiating out of it like a beacon in the night.

KT TUNSTALL

Doors 7pm/ Show 8pm

KT Tunstall burst onto the music scene with her 2004 multi-platinum debut, Eye to the Telescope, which spawned the global hits "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and "Suddenly I See." These songs established Tunstall as a captivating, must-see performer, as well as a Songwriter with a singular knack for balancing introspective folk and propulsive rock. "I feel there are two immediate, recognizable pillars of my style," she says. "I have this troubadour, acoustic guitar-driven emotional side. Then there's definitely a rocker side of me with sharper teeth."

In the last few years, the Grammy-nominated Scottish Musician has expanded on these musical selves by focusing on a trilogy of records, where each album zeroes in on a single concept: soul, body and mind. The first, 2016's KIN, was the soul record; 2018's WAX was the body record, and the new NUT is the mind record.

Produced by Martin Terefe, who co-wrote her 2005 global hit "Other Side of the World," NUTdraws on Tunstall's love of percussive West African grooves as a metaphor for the learning patterns of the mind, and is an eclectic album that seamlessly weaves together disparate styles. She found her writing mojo thanks to "Canyons," a song propelled by a grimy, heavy rock riff. In keeping with NUT’s theme, the song's lyrics are about the canyon-like physiology of the brain,and explore the parallels between humans developing unique identities and the way nature evolves and is shaped over time. Elsewhere, NUT’s lyrics and sound delve into KT’s own personalevolution, and the way we all evolve through the repetition of behaviors and our reactions to life experiences. "Private Eyes" grew out of Tunstall's brush with the vampiric downside of fame, while "Three," summarizes the arc of the trilogy, inspired by a journal practice where she wouldwrite multiple entries on one topic from the different perspectives of mind, body and soul.

"It was necessary in the circumstances to make NUT completely differently from any other record I’ve made," Tunstall says. "But I was excited and ready for that. The reason I pursued music was because I had to avoid a repetitive job. I need to feel a constant sense of exploration in life. I've realized you can easily fall into repetition even in this job. And so for NUT, I was like, 'Come on, let's do what we said we were going to do. Let's push into something new.' What’s always most important is making an exciting, meaningful record that I love, and to have fun while I’m doing it."

MATISYAHU

with DENM and CYDEWAYS

Doors 6pm / Show 7pm

When Matisyahu first started touring to packed clubs more than eleven years ago, it was prior to the release of Live at Stubbs, the now Gold record, and prior to that record’s single “King without a Crown” reaching #1 on the alternative rock radio charts. His performances were a raw expression of his spirituality at that time and were supported by musicians who played a foundation of roots reggae augmented by the energy of a rock trio. Fans latched on quickly for a variety of reasons, but in August of 2005, just months after the release of Live at Stubbs, Matisyahu found himself on stage at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival with the de facto leader of improvisational rock-n-roll; Phish’s front man Trey Anastasio. Many early fans of Matisyahu remember that moment clearly not because of the songs he played in front of the 80,000 person crowd, but because of his seemingly unfettered confidence (or perhaps naiveté) in helping lead Trey and his band through an improvisational display of beat boxing and lyrical gymnastics during the two songs performed. It may have been unrefined, but Matisyahu’s passion for full band improvisation was laid bare.

Fans within the improvisational-jam scene began flocking to Matisyahu’s shows shortly thereafter. “King without a Crown” climbed the charts and Matisyahu’s follow up record Youth was nominated for a Grammy, but the blessings and curses of mainstream success each took root. While Matisyahu’s bands have always been comprised of serious multidimensional players who have artfully molded the foundations of roots reggae into many genres, that early; if only a brief display of complete surrender to the music, seemed in some way to take a back seat. Through his lyrics however, Matisyahu developed a more personal, artistic, and sophisticated way to express the yearning for deep spiritual meaning, and as his own beliefs opened up to find more variety and depth, the desire for his performances to match the unpredictable flow of life developed as well.

Now, more than a decade later, Matisyahu has formed a band that truly gives itself over to the music on par with his lyrical desire to connect to something beyond the self. The band features original Stubbs guitarist and longtime staple of the downtown New York improv scene Aaron DuganJason Fraticelli on bass, Jason Lindner on keyboards, and Matt Scarano on drums. Combined, the music and lyrics transcend their parts. At its most basic moments the music now feels alive; an entity unto itself, being born in the moment and evolving each night. No two performances of a song are alike. At its most exultant moments the music becomes full-band improvisation. Lyrics are rearranged on the spot to serve the energy of the jam, no instrumentalist is playing simply to demonstrate individual skill, and Keiper’s percussive mastery finds the subtle cracks within Matisyahu’s beat boxing to propel the music beyond anything it’s ever achieved previously.

What makes this music so engaging and unmatched, is that Matisyahu; a vocalist with no other instrument at his disposal, is an integral creative part in the improvisation. Dugan and Yuki work well beyond the constraints of the “solo” constantly working to modulate the improvisation, while Brook’s pocket is so deep and harmonically smart, that regardless of how far the melodic elements of a jam may get pushed, it’s impossible not to feel rooted to the core of any tune performed. Matisyahu allows his band to breathe within each tune, finding his place with a wordless melody that serves to enhance the harmonic elements of an improvisation, developing the rhythmic ideas with his beat boxing, or crowning a jam with a full-on lyrical call-to-the-heavens and the great unknown. It’s that cathartic moment as a jam summits and the audience lets out its release that tells the performers we are all in it together. During the most recent Fall 2015 tour, video and audio posts of these moments inspired a steady stream of comments and inquiries asking, “What album is this song on?” It’s not on any album. It is the song of that moment, and that moment only.   

These moments have the ability to connect the many different kinds of Matisyahu fans. The fan going through a hard time, looking to connect to lyrics about faith and searching. The fan looking for that unmatched connection inherent in the risk-reward of improvisational music. The fan who finds pride or representation in some of the ancient sources of Matisyahu’s inspiration. All of these fans share the space together with Matisyahu who is now both a player and a playee, bound to his bandmates’ creation in song and in spirit. It’s been more than a decade for Matisyahu the singer; this is the time of Matisyahu the band.

DeathByRomy. In 2021, the band came back with yet another collaboration: DREAMERS teamed up with legendary rapper Big Boi and UPSAHL for “Palm Reader,” off their EP of the same name, which also got the remix treatment by legendary rock band All Time Low.

DREAMERS closed out the year with the two-track release “Internet Junkie” and “Betting On A Good Time” and two successful tours: the No More Bad Days tour with The Score followed by the “Cameras & Coastlines” tour with Smallpools.

This album features collaborations with Canadian electro-pop phenom LIGHTS on “Did It to Myself,” and two songs with the super-talented artist, ASHE on “Better In College” and “Rest of My Life.” These singles were met with global praise including placement on Spotify’s New Music Friday in 12 countries as well as key placements on Apple, Amazon and YouTube.

At The Disco) who signed her to their label DCD2 Records.
