Dan Spencer ~ Maxwell Stern
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 PM Dan SpencerThe late singer-songwriter Judee Sill considered her style Country Cult Baroque, and Dan Spencer finds that this is a perfect way to describe his own music. His penchant for mixing morbid lyrical content and black metal imagery with country-fried Southern rock doesn’t feel forced at all, considering his eclectic taste and background as a mortician. No, really. Born near Nashville in Smyrna in 1993, the Tennessee troubadour grew up going to see hardcore bands in the region because there were no age restrictions on those kind of shows. He eventually moved to the college town of Cookeville, TN of which he notes, “It’s got this pretty unique history of having a way better music scene than it ought to.” Despite being in the heartland of country music, his interest in the genre coalesced in an entirely circuitous way, via the California-based, punk-pedigreed experimental band Amps For Christ. “They would cover a lot of traditional Scottish folk songs that morphed into Appalachian mountain music, which morphed into country music. I had to hear it through that lens to get into it.” After having played guitar in indie rock band Holy Coast and managing vocal/guitar duties for the CCR/Allman Brothers-inspired group Pumpkinseed, Spencer began writing and recording solo material in early 2020, just in time for the pandemic to hit. His debut album Bursting With Country-Fresh Flavor (a Seinfeld reference) was unceremoniously released online two years later. Music seemed like a dead end pursuit so he enrolled in mortuary school; a career path that shaped his music. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4nZhCPagwfGtHV2tASZkpU Maxwell Stern Maxwell Stern is a singer and songwriter living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Hismusical career began and blossomed in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio at thetail end of the 00’s with his band Signals Midwest. As Signals grew to become oneof the tentpoles of Cleveland’s independent music community, Stern’s songwritingprowess grew and his world-traveling continued, with various iterations andprojects eventually reaching the UK, Europe, Australia, China, and Japan. https://lauren-records.com/collections/maxwell-sternhttp://maxwellstern.bandcamp.com http://instagram.com/maxwellstern
