Dan Spencer ~ Maxwell Stern

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.

J. Roddy Walston
J. Roddy J. Roddy Walston is a force of nature. If his hits like Heavy Bells is are a war cry, then the deep cuts like Boys Can Never Tell are a tactical cosmic retreat. For some, his music is a form of religion, psychedelic in its intensity, transformative in its grip on the body, shaking loose something primal that’s been buried too long. It’s not about thinking. It’s about moving, feeling, surrendering. His influences are a riot of contradictions: Kurt Cobain’s fury, Nilsson’s fractured sweetness, Zeppelin’s power, and some where in there a perverted nod to William Onyeabor’s lonely calculator funk. Critics try to box him in, but Walston can’t be contained—he does chaos, and his live shows do damage, but fortunately his the songs can pay the tab. Catch him and his band before he burns it all down again.
