The Bret Tobias Set
Bret cut his teeth co-fronting the Bigger Lovers, a Philly guitar pop group that swung for the fences in the aughts. Dude re-emerged in 2023 with a set of sharp-edged melodic numbers that have deeply resonated with dozens. Bret’s songs are typically 1) nasty, 2) heart-breaking or 3) self-immolating, sometimes all at once. His cause is aided and abetted by Krista Umile (harmonies/keys), Tracy Stanton (bass), Jeff Tanner (skilled guitar) and Mike Kennedy (tubs).

Mesmer
First active in the mid-90s to early aughts, we took a 20-something-year break to play in other bands like Lefty’s Deceiver, Audible, The Bigger Lovers, Rhode Island, The Swivel Chairs, Static Shapes and more. We’re back now.

I Think Like Midnight
Super-melodic and original indie instrumental rock music, with quirky intelligent twists, guitar twang, and hints of Surf, Folk Rock, and Motorik. Tremendous driving music. Close cousins: Pell Mell, The Mermen, Luna, Television, Spoon, Yo La Tengo.
