The Lagoons ~ Jelly Ellington
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM The LagoonsThe Lagoons are the musical project of Los Angeles-raised multi-instrumentalist brothers Ryan and Joey Selan. The duo writes, produces, and records their music out of their home studio in Los Angeles. Their unique sound was first heard on their debut single “California” and was followed up by Gems EP & Escape EP. The duo then went on to release their debut album Midnight Afternoon in June 2020 and their sophomore album Daybreak in January 2022. Their third EP titled Surf Rock was released in September 2022. Their critically acclaimed catalog has received rave reviews from tastemakers and fans across the globe, having been featured in NPR, The New York Times, Paste Magazine, Earmilk, Ones To Watch, and Indie Shuffle. The brothers have completed three headline tours and are rapidly becoming known for their vibrant live shows. Their versatile ability to switch between instruments as well as perform a completely fresh and different set each night makes their live show a must-see.Jelly EllingtonClaiming Texas home for the last nine years and originally from Asheville, North Carolina, Jonathan “Jelly” Ellington, has been courageously crafting his unique sound as an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter since first picking up the guitar at age seven. An electrifying fusion of impassioned vocals and vivacious guitar playing, Jelly delivers his Blues-centric Rock and Roll by way of his dynamic stage presence and evident classical training. The inspirational spark was first ignited at a young age after seeing the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. Since that moment, Jelly picked up the nylon string classical guitar and studied and trained only classical music until the age of 14, when he was introduced to the electrifying musical prowess of Led Zeppelin. The segway between Jimmy Page’s classical approach to songwriting and guitar playing is what led to Jelly’s passion for going full electric Rock and Roll. Attending hometown hero Warren Haynes’ Annual Christmas Jams in Asheville, with his Dad, he became even more influenced to meticulously craft his musical destiny.
Why Bonnie ~ Foyer Red ~ Kolezanka
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Why Bonnie90 in November, the first full-length LP from Texas quintet Why Bonnie, crashes into existence with a squeal of feedback and a burst of distorted guitar. It’s a dynamic introduction to a more raw-edged indie sound from a band who have matured from bedroom dream pop into a sophisticated rock act, their evolving sound a reflection of the journey undertaken by songwriter Blair Howerton on this vividly rendered collection of songs. As much a product of songwriter Howerton’s love for the intimate songwriting of fellow Texans Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley as it is her affection for the alt-rock of the Lemonheads and the Replacements, the eccentric pop of Sparklehorse, and “definitely Sheryl Crow,” 90 in November is a meditation on the pains and pleasures of nostalgia and a lesson in learning how to look back at the people, places, and experiences that have shaped us, with room for both unvarnished honesty and rose-tinted melancholy. https://whybonnie.bandcamp.com/Foyer Red Foyer Red’s EP Zigzag Wombat is somehow both twee and aggressive at the same time; their playfully chaotic arrangements bridge art-punk, math rock, and sweetly sung indie with a dash of the zoomies. Imbuing their lyrics with fantastical imagery derived from quotidian experiences (“I saw this graffiti tag one day, “zig zag wombat angel” says Elana Riordan on the inspiration behind “Plutterbee” and title of their EP), the songwriting trio of Elana Riordan, Marco Ocampo, and Mitch Myers have crafted a compelling, complex and clever introduction to their varied sound. Citing Canadian underground math-rock legends Luge (Riordan), Atlanta’s incredible post-punk Omni (Ocampo), and Björk (Myers) as musical inspirations there’s something confounding and utterly brilliant about Foyer Red’s debut EP Zigzag Wombat.https://foyerred.bandcamp.com/track/etc-2 Kolezanka After years recording under various monikers, from her youth back in Phoenix to her recent years in New York, Moore released a few early projects as koleżanka before making her official debut with 2021’s “Place Is”. Created with long-time koleżanka collaborator Ark Calkins, “Place Is” is an exegesis into the very notion of “place” and all of the ways place can be interacted with and identified. After her debut release, she joined ascendant art-punk group Foyer Red. Moore characterizes it as an era of discovery, from “getting a foothold” with Place Is to crediting the adventurousness of Foyer Red with opening up her own writing for koleżanka. During the long, dire winter months of late 2020 and early 2021, Moore found herself holed up in her Brooklyn apartment. This chapter became the genesis for koleżanka’s sophomore album, “Alone With The Sound The Mind Makes”. Fittingly for an album concerned with the internal workings of our thoughts and emotions, Moore let herself wander when writing “Alone With The Sound The Mind Makes”, following stream of consciousness wherever it led. Moore had to learn to navigate it solo, to “make friends” with various unsettled states, and in the process, she wrote an album that dives deep into a person’s reckoning with themself, their body, their experiences, their perceptions. https://linktr.ee/kolezanka

Fever Dolls ~ Pons ~ Heavy Harold
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:40 PMFever DollsFever Dolls is the shape-shifting, label-defying project of producer-songwriter Evan Allis. Founded in 2018 with singer Renn Mulloy, Fever Dolls was born out of a desire to forego the self-seriousness of indie rock in favor of big hooks, clever lyrics, and broad musical range. Reflecting the highs and lows of modern life, Fever Dolls’s sound draws on everything from country folk to heavy metal to present a catalog of material as diverse and varied as its audience. 2020’s The Phantasm at Lake Wallenpaupack EP, produced by Paul Kolderie (Hole, Radiohead), showcased Fever Dolls’ hit-making sensibilities while continuing to push listeners’ expectations of what a single musical act could be, with Vox’s Emily Van Der Werf remarking “Fever Dolls (and songwriter Evan Allis) seem to borrow from an entirely new set of artistic influences on each and every track, while still sounding like themselves.”www.feverdolls.comPonsBIO: NYC NO WAVE / GOLD STANDARD GROOVEhttps://www.instagram.com/pons_the_band/ Heavy HaroldHeavy Harold finally took the hint. After years of their friends not wanting them around, they vanished. The Philadelphia indie natives, once considered “Philly’s latest heroes” by impose magazine, had slipped into the shadows like a dormant volcano. But now that volcano is rumbling, and ready to spew out the hits once again. Heavy Harold’s sound is a mix of diy indie and new wave that they have crafted since high school. The members can usually be seen in the background of a few other local artists like Schilly, Joy Again, and ARTHUR. But now it’s their time to shine. Clapping is encouraged.https://open.spotify.com/artist/2iJ4w0mTdAGwrH7ReI9uiF?si=VuTLmz69RcmgMp3K7nUzzg
Nicole Saphos Band ~ Brittany Ann Tranbaugh ~ Sadie Gustafson-Zook
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM NICOLE SAPHOS BANDSinger/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Nicole Saphos’ musical identity can be categorized somewhere between jazz and indie rock. To date, she’s released three critically acclaimed albums, and has performed at venerated venues such as The Kennedy Center, Rockwood Music Hall, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, among others. Downbeat Magazine describes her as a ‘distinctive & warm presence on the bandstand’. Operating in the Fiona Apple / Dirty Projectors sphere of the alternative music spectrum, the LA-native, Philadelphia based artist is known for her harmonically bold and rhythmically driven original music. In 2019, Nicole became the first songwriter invited to attend the prestigious residency program at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine. She has also received several prominent grant awards for her work in songwriting and performance, including 2018 & 2020 Artist & Scholars grants from the Montgomery County Arts Council, and a 2020 Regional Independent Artist Award from the Maryland State Arts Council. nicolesaphosband.comBRITTANY ANN TRANBAUGHBrittany Ann Tranbaugh (pronounced TRAN-baw) is an award-winning singer/songwriter based in Philadelphia, PA. Originally from the Lehigh Valley area in PA, she kicked off her music career as a teenager playing at Godfrey Daniels, one of the country’s only remaining bona fide folk listening rooms. She has since performed all over the US and Canada in theaters, living rooms, basements, bars, coffee shops, backyards, and on festival stages including Firefly and Philly Folk Fest. Accolades include 2021 Song of the Year in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for her queer country heartbreaker “Kiss You” and finalist spots in the Gems in the Rough, Kerrville New Folk, and LEAF NewSong competitions. In April 2022, she debuted an EP entitled “Quarter Life Crisis Haircut,” her first official release in over a decade. In this new batch of memorable and thoughtfully crafted songs produced by Jackson Emmer, she tackles a wide range of topics including her sixth grade queer awakening, an awkward run-in with an old acquaintance, and the impossibility of true folk music authenticity in this day and age. At times witty and sarcastic, at other times heartbreaking and raw, the EP undoubtedly showcases Tranbaugh’s finest work to date.brittanyanntranbaugh.com SADIE GUSTAFSON-ZOOK Every time Sadie Gustafson-Zook carves a linoleum block, sews a pencil case out of scraps, or admires the way the ink in her Pilot G-2 glides over her journal, she thinks, “I should be doing this all the time.” The act of creating something tangible is the air Sadie breathes. Her songwriting is the same- weaving an internal dialogue, the stories she tells herself, warm melodies and clever chords into something real, something she can physically feel with her hands and her throat. And chances are that you’ll be able to feel them too. Sadie is widely recognized for her songwriting, winning the 2022 Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition, the 2022 Newsong + LEAF Songwriting Contest, as well placing in the top two at the 2022 Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Showcase. She’s been featured on Folk Alley and the Basic Folk Podcast and has performed at renowned festivals and venues including Kerrville Folk Festival, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, Walnut Valley Festival, and Club Passim, among others. sadiegustafsonzook.com/
