SUMMARY:Session Americana
DESCRIPTION:Tickets:\nStudent\, advance $10\, at the door $12\nAdult\, advance $18\, at the door $22 \nDoors open at 7pm. Show begins at 8pm. \nSession Americana (Boston) is a rock band in a tea cup\, or possibly a folk band in a whiskey bottle. This band/collective of talented musicians craft an musical experience unlike any other. On stage is a collapsible bar table wired with microphones\, a vintage suitcase recast as a kick drum\, an old Estey field organ\, a pre-war parlor guitar\, a mandocello and all of its smaller siblings\, a harmonica case fire damaged when Jack’s bar went up in flames and graffitied by Depeche Mode roadies\, and an assortment of other instruments that get passed around in this freewheeling modern hootenanny. The anything-could-happen feel of a Session show depends on craft that’s not accidental or easilywon; they bring a kind of ease and genuineness to this timeless music\, sometimes presenting the latest batch of original songs\, sometimes reaching back into depths of the American “song bag”. \n“Their sound lives on the edge of exploration\, where the freewheeling crackle of a great jam session meets the lean groove of classic country music. The result is rock-solid\, rippling with surprise\, and delivered by some of the best acoustic musicians around’\n-Boston Globe \n“Session Americana has developed into a travelling medicine show which eschews snake oil in favour of an ongoing grail quest for the perfect collaborative experience.”\n-Hot Press Ireland \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:The Citizens
DESCRIPTION:Tickets:\nStudents\, advance $10\, at-the-door $12\nAdults\, advance $18\, at-the-door $22 \nDoors open at 7pm.  Show starts at 8pm. \n“The Citizens shouldn’t be missed! It’s easy to say that this band or that band is the best new thing to hit the streets\, but in the case of this NYC quintet it would be impossible not to sing the members’ praises. Fans of any sort of quirky pop or rock should get their hands on Post Cro-Magnon Drift immediately and let the bliss-out begin.”\n				-Jenn O’Donnell\, DOA \n“Mark Lesseraux can sing his ass off and he isn’t afraid to do it” – Pitchfork\, Joe Tangari \nThe Citizens are a four piece band from New York City that began playing together in early 2003. Known for their impressive dynamic range\, the Citizens’ songs vary from British-influenced rock to quiet\, sometimes experimental pieces that play with the boundaries of traditional song forms.  Some of the groups influences include:  The Beatles\, The Smiths\, Big Star\, Sly and The Family Stone\, Velvet Underground and The Pretenders. \nThe band’s Oregon spawned rhythm section consists of Jason DiMatteo (Valerie June\, Chocolate Genius\, Burnt Sugar) on bass and John Bollinger (Antony and The Johnsons\, Sway Machinery\, Barbez)on drums. Jason and John have known each other since grade school. With a background together in rock\, r&b and jazz\, they provide a solid\, time-honed core for the band’s music. \nThom Loubet is the band’s guitarist. Thom is a versatile player with a knack for texture who can easily move from aggressive to delicate playing styles.  Thom has played with some of the New York scene’s most prominent musicians such as Alice Smith\, Tamar-Kali\, Burnt Sugar\, and Nu Afrika. \nThe group’s lead singer\, lyricist and keyboard player is Mark Lesseraux. Mark is known for his dramatic live performances and considerable vocal ability. Mark was the lead singer of the psych/pop trio Lazy Susan in 1999/2000. He has recorded two solo CDs and one other collaborative CD with the NY multi-cultural collective Earthdriver. \nSonically and lyrically\, the Citizens’ music is both inviting and challenging. Employing a unique variety of themes\, moods and melodies\, they manage to produce consistently captivating and original “Avant Rock.” \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:Wild Reeds with opener Will Mosheim and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Tickets:\nStudents\, advance $10\, at-the-door $12\nAdults\, advance $18\, at-the-door $22 \nDoors open at 7pm.  Show starts at 8pm. \nThe Wild Reeds can be defined by one word: Harmony. However\, the music is nearly indefinable. The sound from this LA based band fronted by Kinsey Lee\, Mackenzie Howe and Sharon Silva dips in and out of multiple genres – some etherial folk\, a hint of country twang and some rock and roll rhythm (from Nick Jones and Nick Phakpiseth)\, but it all comes back to the root of this band’s power: the fact that Lee\, Howe and Silva harmonize like triplets separated at birth. \nIn the past year\, the Los Angeles based band supported such acts as Noah Gundersen\, Langhorne Slim\, Della Mae\, Spirit Family Reunion and Israel Nash and they’ve made appearances at Way Over Yonder Festival\, Outside Lands\, Echo Park Rising\, Claremont Folk Festival\, and Lightning in a Bottle. \nThe Wild Reeds released their formal debut album “Blind and Brave\,” in August 2014 at The Troubadour in West Hollywood. The album\, produced by Raymond Richards at Red Rockets Glare Studios (Local Natives\, Parson Redheads\, Honey Honey\, Dustbowl Revival)\, expounds on loss\, love\, growing up\, and the experience of artists and workers alike pursuing their dreams. \nA year out from the “Blind and Brave” release finds The Wild Reeds crafting new material for their second release in Los Angeles and touring the country with stops at the AMA Festival in Nashville in September\, The Bluegrass Situation Festival at the Greek Theater in LA and the CMJ festival in New York in October. \nBuy Tickets
