Born in the 1980’s near a perpetually burning coal mine fire in rural PA, Rocky had few ambitions in life aside from making licks on his guitar. Strapped for cash as a young man, he participated in a clinical trial for experimental anti-aging drugs that caused him to live well into the 22nd century and meet multi-instrumentalist Quasaria Bognes. A time-traveling garbage truck transports them to gigs throughout the fabric of spacetime, where they dazzle audiences with a band of superpowered musicians, telling tales of a future dystopia. https://www.rockykaminski.com/
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
Christiana Ward ~ Pale Shade ~ Mandy Valentine
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 0:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Christina WardChristina Ward is a musician & producer from the Philadelphia area. Her songwriting & arrangements guide the listener through a forest of drum machines, synthesizers, & effects that create an intimate & immersive space. She lives mostly in a little river town & spins her existential dread into sad songs. linktr.ee/Cward Pale Shade linktr.ee/paleshade Mandy ValentineNever taking themselves too seriously, Philadelphia based 5 (or more) piece Mandy Valentine brings a fresh take to some classic country and rock n roll themes. With galloping rhythms, close harmonies, and lyrics like, “I see a whippoorwill, oh, start to fly and feel so lonesome baby I could cry”, Mandy Valentine hopes to evoke mid century country icons like Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, and the Everly Brothers—just if they were a little more punk. Fronted by predominant song writer, Missy Pidgeon, MV will surely appeal to anyone previously a fan of the catchy, singable melodies found in her prior Philly based garage/surf band, Blushed. Missy is joined by Abbey Heir on percussion and vocals, Sam Perduta on guitar, Jay Johnson on bass, and Mattie Klauser on drums. While MV is a new band on the scene, all of its members have been active in Philly DIY for a while including in ongoing projects like Pillow Princess, Elison Jackson, and Three Yards to Dover. With their experience comes a relaxed comfort on stage that invites audiences to get loose, boot scoot, and tumble along like a tumbling tumbleweed. MV is currently working on recording music at Tralfamadore in South Philly with Mattie leading production.https://instagram.com/xomandyvalentine?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

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/
