Olivia Lurrie's
Album Release Show
w/ Queen City Cut-Ups
Thursday 2.13.25 - 8:00pm - Tickets
A touch of Midnight Cowboy and a little magic from Willie & Waylon gives Olivia her footing in the modern world of Country and Americana music, from the other gritty perspective of the Urban Cowboy.
Trading deserts and horses for subway cars and pigeons, Olivia’s music sheds light on the alienating aspects of living in a city, heartbreak and complicated relationships. Her songs draw on love lost, anxiety, feeling out of place and humor as a coping mechanism.

LUTALO
Friday 2.14.25 - 8:30pm - Tickets
Lutalo’s highly visceral folk goes electric on The Academy, the Vermont multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer’s debut LP. On The Academy, Lutalo embraces a literary approach to self-referential songwriting, turning memories from their adolescence into impressionistic folk and rock compositions that are equal parts searing and vulnerable. With their unique baritone and finesse for lyrical world building, Lutalo cuts to the bone–while only just beginning to reveal the depth of their artistry and vision.

CALEB KLAUDER
& REEB WILLMS
COUNTRY BAND


Tuesday 3.4.25- 7:00pm - Tickets
Dust off your boots and gather around for some true and original modern honky tonk music. An all-star cast of master musicians backs these two soul singers of country music, Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms. These two are known to roots music fans across the globe for their soulful harmonies, driving dance tunes, classic original songs, and commitment to the raw truth of rural American music. They live in the San Juan Islands of Washington, though until recently, home was Portland, OR. They are foundational to the exceptional old-time and country music scene in the Pacific NW with the Caleb Klauder Reeb Willms Country Band and their membership in the Foghorn Stringband, of which Caleb was a founding member. Charismatic performers, they bring their unique set of talents to the stage with an eye towards good times and an ear towards the deepest songs and tunes.
Sometimes we get so unnecessarily swept up in who’s rising and falling in music these days that the sheer joy of music is overlooked. One of the great things about Caleb and Reeb is that they are a world apart from all of that nonsense and let you immerse yourself in the melody and story of classic sounding country music until all other cares of life fade away. Country music is the music of working people who use it to pass the time and forget about the ever-present hardships in their lives. After years of touring together, Reeb and Caleb work intuitively.
Caleb’s study and understanding of roots music is so dedicated and rich, that he can hauntingly immerse himself in the same perspective of those old primitive country composers and write as if he was right beside them. Their album Innocent Road includes a clutch of lovingly arranged Klauder originals, along with well-placed and rare covers. The pair bring the spirit of legendary country duos into their contemporary takes on country music. Trading vocals back and forth, they complement each other strikingly well in an attractive meld of honky-tonk that brushes shoulders with trad bluegrass.

Twain (solo)
EARLY SHOW ADDED!
Thurdsay 3.27.25 - 5:30pm - Tickets
“There is nothing remarkable about my life that is necessary to know in order to appreciate the songs,” says Matthew Davidson of Twain. He describes the project as “a modern folk-opera of indefinite length consisting of songs and images from my life, a self-caricature of the musician and writer Matthew Davidson.”

Esther Rose (solo)
EARLY SHOW ADDED!
Thurdsay 3.27.25 - 5:30pm - Tickets
Everything clicks on Safe to Run, the fourth album from singer, songwriter and perpetual searcher Esther Rose. It’s the quiet culmination of years spent fully immersed in a developing artistry, and presents Rose’s always vividly detailed emotional scenes with new levels of clarity and control. As with previous work, her songwriting transfigures the chaos and uncertainty of a life in progress, but here she sharpens the pop elements and attaches unshakably catchy hooks to even the darkest stretches of the journey.
After spending her formative years in Michigan, Rose relocated to New Orleans and got her start in music there while awash in the unparalleled energy of the city’s scene. Over the course of her first three records, an infatuation with traditional country gradually evolved into a more distinctive style and increasingly personal material.
Rose’s music traced her changes as she moved through stages, studios, and home addresses, and she eventually left NOLA for New Mexico where the two year writing process for Safe to Run unfolded. Making the transition to this new environment after spending the better part of a decade building a life somewhere else demanded looking around and taking stock. All the heaviness, sweetness, levity, and self-discovery that had led up to that point began funneling into new songs that moved slower in order to dig deeper, taking on the intricate hues of a desert horizon as they came together.


The Wormdogs
Thursday 3.27.25 - 10:00pm - Tickets!

TAXIDERMISTS
w/ Dari Bay
Saturday 3.29.25 - 10:30pm - Tickets
Since meeting in high school, Salvadore McNamara and Cooper Handy have slowly and steadily worn down their own distinct rut in the East Coast post-everything guitar based music underground. As Taxidermists, the duo have been flying on the cusp of above and below the radar for a few years now. With a handful of excellent releases, and a constant stream of live shows, the Massachusetts based band has wholeheartedly embraced what the kids used to call DIY. No pretension, no gimmick and having nothing to prove to anyone but themselves has melded their playing into a sound of their own. Drums playing as much melody as they are keeping time, high-IQ guitar playing, and lyrics that simultaneously remain fractured and hit straight to the point. Taxidermists songs and shows are often short and to the point, leaving you both satisfied and wanting more. Recently Cooper has found success with his solo project LUCY (Cooper B. Handy).

Bugcatcher

"In my music, writing and performance, I attempt my level best to fashion old skins from new grapes and graft the weird branch of U.S. American vernacular onto our post-nuclear bough. All tradition should be inoculated, contaminated from without because never pure to begin with. In no particular order and recently, Apollinaire (always), Elizabeth Bishop, Chögyam Trungpa, David Graeber, Lorca, Nina Simone, Robert Macfarlane.
My father has been a professional storyteller and children’s performer, my mother his manager. So the question as a kid was always where is the storyline here, who’s that speaking with the accent anyway and what are they carrying over the hill in that large black bag of theirs? My work seems to have preferred hard-to-come-by places over the years—underpopulated bars in Berlin Germany, street corners, defunct blogs, one time the Princeton University Graduate Center on a Tuesday night, yikes. I’m not at all sure how you came across this website, but however you did, you’re very welcome. It’s intended as a sort of portal to the various incarnations all the time and effort taken over the years, and I hope you delight in the spelunk. If you do enjoy the work it is available for purchase, all received gratefully in the form of encouragement and a warm cup of coffee." - Noah B. Harley

BABE REPORT
& PREWN
w/ Greaseface
& the leatherbound books

Wednesday 4.9.25 - 8:00pm - Tickets available soon!
Babe Report is a freshly minted fuzzy post-punk/rock band from Chicago, containing previous members of Yeesh, Geronimo!, FCKR JR, and others. Drawing inspiration from varied sources such as Kleenex, Lightning Bolt, and Yo La Tengo, the band manages to carve their own path forward through a crunchy abyss of sing-song melodies, lush reverb, and crushing drums.
Prewn has grown to become one of Western Massachusetts’ most in-demand bands. Through The Window is an intimate introduction to the project, capturing a place and time, the songs urgently needing to find their way out. The attention to detail throughout the album is obvious, these are thoughtful songs, nuanced in construction, from the raw and pinched guitars to the stability (and lack of stability) in the rhythms. There’s a sense of warbling character in the music, Prewn’s songs are standing firm but on shaky legs. That’s the magic inherent in Hagerup’s writing, she’s steadfast and holding on, but she’s not immune to slipping in stormy weather.

Tuesday 4.22.25 - 8:00pm - Tickets
Olivia Ellen Lloyd will try anything once. From flight attendant school in Dallas to producing theater in New York and teaching in Guatemala, Lloyd sought adventure but struggled to find a greater sense of purpose––until she found her way back to music. Channeling that restless spirit, she writes songs that dig deep for hope in the face of hardship. Never once to mince words, Lloyd crafts straightforward songs where no word is wasted and every emotion is well-earned.
Heavily influenced by country, folk, and indie rock, Lloyd’s sound combines the rooted sounds of her traditional Appalachian upbringing with the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants nature of her current life. She is inspired by the rich sounds of New York City, the peaceful quiet of her small hometown, and everything in between.
