Karl Blau ~ Atmospheric Streams
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: 7:45 PMKarl BlauKarl Blau is an American indie rock and country vocalist, producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but originally from Anacortes, Washington. A member of the Knw-Yr-Own/K Records collective, he is known for his musical output, live shows, and self recording and distribution. Blau incorporates elements of folk, dub, R&B, bossa nova, grunge, hip hop, drone, country, & worldbeat.https://www.karlblau.com/Atmospheric StreamsWith a new sound clearly apparent following lineup changes and an evolving songwriting approach, Atmospheric Streams is the latest iteration of Britt Thomas and her group (formerly Britt Thomas and the Breaker Boys). Combining dream-inspired lyrics, a new appreciation for technical chord and rhythmic choices, and a collaborative group ethos, the new album Looking Sideways is a romp through psychedelia, rock and world music-inspired compositions. Backed up by drummer Danny Albi, guitarist Todd Faustnacht, keyboardist Jeff Gregorio, and bassist Aaron Jollay, Atmospheric Streams crafts mystery and elation into their songs with a nod to Echoes-era Pink Floyd, early Fairport Convention, and the Velvet Underground’s Loaded. Experimentation and technicality are focus points on the new album, and you can hear a certain Krautrock influence on tunes like “Walls” and “Looking Sideways” ‒ inspired in part by Britt’s birthplace of Frankfurt, Germany, where she spent portions of her childhood. The vocal harmonies on songs like “Edge of a Dream,” and, “Thought Sound Vibration,” allude to the styles of Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane, Neko Case, and Fairport Convention. https://atmosphericstreams.bandcamp.com/album/looking-sideways

Y-Not Radio 14th Anniversary: Lauran Hibberd ~ Harlee Torres
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 PMY-NOT RADIO 14th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONLauran HibberdLife, as Ronan Keating famously once sang, is a rollercoaster – you’ve just got to ride it. Over the last 12 months, Lauran Hibberd has been strapped into a journey resembling hurtling along a loop-the-looping track, being thrown up to dizzying highs before plummeting to life-changing lows and back again. In August 2022, as her hook-filled triumph of a debut album ‘Garageband Superstar’ was soaring into the UK Top 40, she was grieving for her father, who’d died in the weeks ahead of the release. “A lot of stuff happened to me around that time – I lost my dad, I went through my first big break-up, I was living on my own for the first time,” she reflects now. It would have made sense if this intense period of grief, change and adaptation had left the 26-year-old needing to hit pause and focus on something other than music for a moment. Writing, though, became a way for her to deal with and continue processing the things she was going through. As she re-entered sessions in the studio, her second album ‘Girlfriend Material’ “just fell out” of her. “It felt like it needed to happen. I felt so much freer and a bit more capable of writing about certain topics than I did before,” she reasons. “It’s like, for the first album, someone sent me to Spain without me knowing any Spanish, and I’ve been like, ‘I’ll figure it out’. This time, I’ve had a year of learning Spanish, and I can ask for the time.” Now more confident and comfortable in the language of songwriting, the new album takes the foundations Hibberd started laying on ‘Garageband Superstar’ and builds them up several accomplished storeys. The tongue-in-cheek humour that won her praise from the likes of DIY, NME, Rolling Stone UK, Kerrang!, Radio 1 and more is still present, but it’s joined by new layers of nuance and candidness – think songs that can make you laugh, cry and feel less alone, all within under four minutes. Sonically, too, she’s entering new ground, bringing together forever influences like Avril Lavigne, Weezer and Green Day with the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Liz Phair and Taylor Swift. https://www.lauranhibberd.com/Harlee TorresHarlee Torres is a bassist and songwriter based in Philadelphia and New York. After debuting with her 70’s disco jam ‘Call Me Again,’ Harlee followed up with ‘Passerby,’ a breezier, indie soul track that takes inspiration from the likes of Sade and Portishead. While she experiments with different genres upon each release, Harlee infuses each tune with Latin percussion, groovy basslines, eccentric harmonies, and introspective lyricism.https://linktr.ee/harleetorres
