SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Tank and The Bangas / Big Freedia
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Bowery Boston \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nSOLD OUT! \nPlease note: this show is 18+ with valid ID. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent. Opening acts and set times are subject to change without notice. All sales are final unless a show is postponed or canceled. All bags larger than 12 inches x 12 inches\, backpacks\, professional cameras\, video equipment\, large bags\, luggage and like articles are strictly prohibited from the venue. Please make sure necessary arrangements are made ahead of time. All patrons subject to search upon venue entry. \n*** \n \n*** \nTank and The Bangas \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nOriginating in New Orleans\, Tank and The Bangas have all the qualities that relates them\, to the city that birth them but a flair that separates them as well. Their performances range from being “One of the most energetic shows you’ll ever see” to “A gospel tent in Mississippi”. Rummaging through their sound like a thrift store hippie\, you’ll find the Bangas to provoke a musical reference of Rhythmic Soul and Spoken word among other genres such as Rock\, Gospel\, Funk\, and Folk. Combining the various musical techniques among the Bangas\, coupled with the instilling play on lyrics from the lead vocalist; Tank and The Bangas have quilted a unique sound that singles them as one of the most distinctive groups to come out of New Orleans. The group has graced the cover of one of New Orleans most recognized magazines\, “OffBeat” and recently won band of the year at the New Orleans Big Easy Awards. The group has opened for acts such as LiAnne LaHavas\, PJ Morton\, Galactic\, Big Freedia\, The Revivalist\, and The Soul Rebels. Most recently the band was titled as the 2017 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winners.  \n*** \nBig Freedia \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nThe scope of Big Freedia’s impact is undeniable. Over the past few decades\, the New Orleans native has catapulted herself from local favorite to becoming the anointed Queen of Bounce\, sharing some of her high energy flavor on massive hit tracks like Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning “Formation” and Drake’s “Nice For What” while shaping contemporary culture by bringing twerking\, shaking and wiggling to a national platform. \n“I just want to inspire people to understand that New Orleans culture is very special\, it’s a phenomenal place and that we’re on a rise to bigger and better things and we speak it through our music and everyday living down here\,” says Freedia\, who was born and raised in the city’s 3rd Ward. “The pain and suffering that we go through here in New Orleans\, we take it and we flip it around.” \nIt’s the heartbeat of her Asylum Records debut 3rd Ward Bounce\, a fiver-track EP releasing this June. Aerobic\, ceaseless and a touch more mainstream than prior releases\, the project has all the signifiers of Freedia’s brand of Bounce— throbbing instrumentals\, booming vocals\, frenetic handclaps—with even sharper songwriting that pushes her sound into new territory. Lead single “Rent” is all attitude\, rebuffing the type of people who occupy a space in your mind\, while “Karaoke” featuring Lizzo pounds along with robust horns\, intended to become the freewheeling type of anthem that soundtracks a night out of singing. Elsewhere\, the Goldie-assisted “Play” nods to the “slay” echoed on Freedia’s “Formation” collab with Beyoncé\, and “Bomb” plays like a chest-thump\, a nod to all that Freedia’s accomplished. \nIn fact\, it’s hard not to feel Freedia’s presence in pop culture. In addition to high-level appearances on culturally-defining tracks and a string of her own impacting releases\, Freedia has become one of the strongest voices from the South\, in part thanks to Big Freedia Bounces Back on Fuse TV\, a weekly docu-series that’s been on for six seasons and become the network’s highest rated original series. \nIn addition to living life as a member of the LGBTQ community\, she’s consistently used her music to lift listeners of all gender and sexual identity\, using music as a bridge to unite. “I’m a voice for different communities\,” she says. “Live your life and live the best way you know how. Love whoever you choose to love. Be whoever you want to be\, do whatever you want to do. It’s a much broader mission for me to encourage people all over—not just the LGBTQ community but heterosexuals as well to live out they life loud and proud.” \nA former choirboy\, Freedia cut her teeth on the bounce circuit in New Orleans\, quickly garnering national acclaim and becoming a staple on the touring circuit. In the past\, she’s dazzled crowds at festivals spanning Outside Lands to FYF\, as well as sprinkled her Bounce magic on songs from Diplo\, Spank Rock\, Galactic and Elliphant. She’s shared her life in other facets of media as well\, including the critically-acclaimed memoir Big Freedia: God Save the Queen Diva! on Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster. \nBut at the core\, Bounce music is where Freedia got her start\, and where she continues to touch people most. “When people come to visit New Orleans\, it’s an infectious city: the culture\, the people\, the food\, the whole city\,” she says. “We have so many talented musicians here and people want to taste a little piece of it every time they go somewhere. Bounce is getting ready to keep making a part of history and keep opening doors for the music industry. We are on our rise to people recognizing the music that has been captivating for so long locally here in New Orleans\, and now the world has got a taste. It’s just so infectious\, baby.” \n*** \nNaughty Professor \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nNaughty Professor is an iconoclastic New Orleans-based jazz-funk sextet whose adventurous recordings and horn-charged\, high-energy live performances have earned them an enthusiastic fan base\, critical acclaim\, and widespread attention from their musical peers. \nTheir diligent roadwork has established Naughty Professor as a beloved live act.  Weaving together complex\, inventive compositions and loose\, organic improvisation\, the band honors their hometown’s jazz\, R&B and brass-band traditions while looking to the future. \nNaughty Professor raises the stakes on its new album Identity (Release date June 23\, 2017).  Where their prior four releases showcased the group’s knack for self-contained instrumental experimentation\, Identity finds the band teaming with a stellar assortment of more than a dozen cutting-edge collaborators\, whose vocal\, instrumental and compositional contributions expand the music into new musical territory. \nIdentity’s prestigious gallery of guests includes Jurassic 5’s Chali 2na\, who’s featured on a pair of tracks\, “Darker Daze” and “Sugar Coat\,” which also features contributions from New Orleans legend Ivan Neville. David Shaw of the Revivalists lends his vocals on “Stray” and singer/guitarist Dexter Gilmore contributes on “I Can’t Sleep At Night.” Additional special collaborators include trumpet player Eric “Benny” Bloom of Lettuce\, percussionist Mike Dillon\, much-lauded jazz vocalist Sasha Masakowski and members of the renowned New Orleans horn outfit Soul Rebels\, who turn up the brass on the album-closer “Funk 4 Lunch.” \n“They’re not just guests\,” explains Naughty Professor drummer Sam Shahin.  “The collaborators on this album were chosen because we respected what they do and felt that they could be a complement to our ensemble.” \n“When these kids first started coming up on the scene\, I could tell right away that there was something very special about their energy and music\,” David Shaw comments on his excitement to collaborate with Naughty Professor.  “I believe that the sky has no limit for these boys.” \n“My first impression of Naughty Professor was one of amazement\,” Chali 2na notes.  “New Orleans is full of musicians that are masters of their craft\, and Naughty P is no exception.  They are also perfectionists and students of the game.  This is immediately apparent once you hear them play. \n“I am loving the resurgence of jazz combined with this youthful mindstate that musicians have today\,” Chali continues\,” and Naughty Professor is pushing that envelope.” \nThe band recorded each track on Identity live in the studio\, heightening the immediacy of the performances and solidifying the band’s connection with the guest collaborators.  The sessions were also documented on video\, with an eye towards releasing a video version of the album. \nA wide range of musical impulses has driven Naughty Professor ever since the band members first convened in 2010\, having met while students at Loyola University’s jazz program.  The musicians’ potent collective chemistry quickly won attention on the New Orleans music scene.  After graduating\, they began touring\, expanding their audience nationwide. \nNaughty Professor’s first three albums—2013’s Until the Next Time\, 2015’s Out On A Limb and 2016’s live In the Flesh—further raised the band’s national profile. Lauded by critics for having a musical “depth and vision far beyond their young years\,” Naughty Professor’s name regularly appears alongside New Orleans’ veteran luminaries. In 2013\, the band was nominated by Gambit’ Weekly’s Big Easy Music Awards for “Best Emerging Artist\,” and for “Best Funk Band” every year since. Naughty Professor was also nominated in 2015\, 2016 and 2017 by Offbeat Magazine’s Best of the Beat Awards for “Best R&B/Funk Artist.” In the magazine’s most recent poll\, bassist Noah Young and Drummer Sam Shahin were named finalists as the “Best at their Instruments\,” furthering the band’s stellar musical reputation. \nIdentity continues Naughty Professor’s unyielding exploration of their home city’s eclectic musical landscape.  “New Orleans is the reason that we were all able to come together\, and it’s the reason we’ve been able to continue making music together\,” says alto and baritone saxophonist Nick Ellman. “We all were drawn to the city\, and we all have a tremendous respect for the history of the music culture in New Orleans. In no way are we a traditional New Orleans band\, and this is not a traditional New Orleans record\, but New Orleans’ musical and cultural traditions have everything to do with how we make music.” \nNew Orleans’ vital spirit is present throughout Identity\, which combines artfully-crafted studio creations with material developed through live performance. “We like being adventurous and cerebral\, but fun is also important\,” Shahin concludes. “We operate with a jazz mentality\, but we like verse/chorus structures.  We definitely embrace the idea that we’re bridging the gap between the more thought-provoking side of jazz and popular mainstream music\, and making the whole thing fun and accessible.” \nThe result is Identity\, Naughty Professor’s most potent and ambitious musical statement to date. It is a record that\, by collecting together diverse and disparate musical voices into a seamless whole\, simultaneously honors the past and pushes into the future. \nNaughty Professor are:\nIan Bowman – tenor saxophone\nJohn Culbreth – trumpet\nBill Daniel – guitar\nNick Ellman – alto and baritone saxophones\nSam Shahin – drums\nNoah Young – bass

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Yacht Rock Revue - Night 1 of 2
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Bowery Boston \nDoors: 6:00 pm / Show: 7:00 pm \nSOLD OUT \nPlease note: this show is 18+ with valid ID. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent.

Ever. Their spot-on renditions of Hall & Oates\, Michael McDonald\, Steely Dan\, and the rest of the Time-LifeInfomercial Catalog have enthralled fans across the United States. It goes without saying they have taken their act to the high seas\, performing showcase sets on music cruises with Weezer\, Kid Rock\, Train\, Zac Brown Band\, Sister Hazel\, and fitness guru Jillian Michaels. \nBy blurring the lines between a tribute\, an original act\, and a comedic troupe\, the Yacht Rock Revue has forged a unique niche market and a special bond with their fans.

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Dermot Kennedy
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Bowery Boston \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis show is SOLD OUT! \nTickets available at AXS.COM\, or by phone at 855-482-2090. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. \nPlease note: this show is 18+ with valid ID. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent. Opening acts and set times are subject to change without notice. All sales are final unless a show is postponed or canceled.

Please make sure necessary arrangements are made ahead of time. All patrons subject to search upon venue entry. \n*** \nDermot Kennedy \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nThere’s a sign on the house Dermot Kennedy has called home for 25 years. “Cois Coille\,” it reads: Irish for “beside the forest\,” a nod to the vast mountains and huge sprawl of trees not far from his front door. “Whenever I’ve been away\, eventually I need to come back and reset\,” admits the fast-rising star\, who grew up here in Rathcoole\, a village nestled between the wilderness of County Kildare and the frantic bustle of Dublin. It’s a contrast that also exists at the heart of his music: rustic\, tender singer-songwriter laments full of scenic beauty\, set to urban\, electronic beats. “I really like that clash\,” he explains of his acclaimed mix of intimate\, guitar-led storytelling and hip-hop-inspired production. “Making those two worlds collide is really exciting to me.”  \nHe’s not the only one who’s excited. Since the release of his stunning April 2017 EP\, Doves and Ravens\, and follow-up single ‘Moments Passed’\, Kennedy has shot to over 80m plays on streaming platforms\, been hailed as a “big\, beautiful and bold” new voice by Beats 1’s Zane Lowe\, won praise from everyone from TIME Magazine to Wonderland. He’s also supported Lana Del Rey and worked his way on the radar of rap super producer Mike Dean\, best known for his work with Kanye West and Travis Scott\, with whom he’s currently cooking up a mixtape.  \nRegularly compared to Bon Iver – whose For Emma Forever Ago album was a turning point in Kennedy’s musical adolescence (“he just blew my mind”) – the 25-year-old describes his songs as struggles between two extremes: light and dark\, love and loss\, life and death\, happiness and sorrow. “All my tracks sort of toggle between two themes\, even within the same song: it can go back and forth from line to line\,” he says. The deeply personal ‘Moments Passed’\, for example\, was dragged from the rubble of a time of simultaneous pain and blossoming romance for the young Irishman\, who was both mourning the death of a friend and falling in love when he wrote it. “Sometimes it’s hard to pin a song down. More often it’s a battle between two opposites like that.” \nKennedy got his first guitar aged 11\, and “got serious” aged six years later\, before a chance encounter with another of his musical heroes gave him his first big break. Beloved Irish songwriter Glen Hansard had been walking through Dublin when Kennedy spotted him one day in the street\, around the time of his first recordings. “I invited him to the studio\,” Kennedy recalls. “He couldn’t make it\, but he called back and offered me ten minutes onstage at his sold-out Christmas show.” The youngster performed his 2016 single ‘After Rain’ and the response was immediate: the track went on to rack up a staggering 33m million streams on Spotify. ‘Moments Passed’ – now with a spectacular video directed by Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar collaborator Nabil – won’t be far behind. \nWith new music set for release in early 2018 and bigger\, better live shows around the corner\, momentum is building quickly behind Kennedy. Not that he’s really noticed: the 25-year-old is too focused on pushing his artistic boundaries on his upcoming debut album to pay attention to any hype. “Having spent a lot of time in the acoustic world\, it felt really good to do something new and push myself out of my comfort zone on these recent tracks\,” he says of his increasing electronic experimentation. “I’d be letting myself down if I didn’t chase that\, if I just did what came easy to me.”  \nJust don’t expect him to abandon his roots entirely. “I don’t want to go too far. The trick is to be able to strip a song of all its production and for it to still tell a good story that makes you feel something. Certain things run through all sorts of music that appeal to me\, whether that’s a hip-hop artist or a singer-songwriter: honesty and a good story.” Dermot Kennedy’s story\, you get the feeling\, is just beginning.  \n*** \nThe Oh’My’s \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nFormed by Maceo Haymes and Nick Hennessy\, Chicago soul band The O’My’s have etched out an important place in the city’s music scene. From collaborations with Chance The Rapper and BJ The Chicago Kid to TDE’s Ab-Soul\, The O’My’s bring a traditionally vintage sound to a new era of music in seamless fashion. With a new project slated for 2018\, The O’My’s are ready to capture the hearts of music fans\, both old and young.

Their main influences at that time were Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps\, and The Velvet Underground. Their goal was to rock harder than any other acoustic act on the planet. \nThey were rejected for an audition by a local nightclub and set up outside a Pretenders gig. Chrissie Hynde asked them to open that night’s show. This gave the early Femmes a publicity boost which led to them being invited to play in NYC supporting Richard Hell. A rave review in the New York Times led eventually to a record deal\, which in turn spawned worldwide touring. \nTheir eponymous first album became the first and only album in Billboard history to enter the charts as a platinum album\, eight years after its release. The Femmes became a mainstay of festivals\, clubs and theatres in over 30 countries worldwide in the ensuing three decades. \nMTV’s “Unplugged” show was inspired by the Femmes\, although they never actually appeared on it. Their raw sound and honest lyrical perspective has been cited as an influence by artists as diverse as Pink\, Keith Urban\, The Smiths\, Nirvana\, Lou Reed\, John Cusack\, Mark Morris\, and Wim Wenders. \nViolent Femmes are currently touring in commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of the release of their first album.  \n*** \nYour Smith \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nMinneapolis native Your Smith (aka Caroline Smith)\, relocated to Los Angeles after signing to Pulse Recording (DRAM\, Miike Snow\, Gallant\, et. al). Inspired by the history of Laurel Canyon and moving through a city that’s been immortalized in music throughout the ages\, Smith concocted her own sound\, bringing together the funk / R&B “Minneapolis Sound” of her roots and the classic songwriting of the LA folk heroes. Your Smith is currently wrapping up her debut EP\, produced by Tommy English (BØRNS)\, Stint (Gallant\, Aluna George\, NAO)\, and Nicky Davey (Internet\, Syd The Kid)\, arriving on Neon Gold Records (HAIM\, Christine & The Queens\, et. al) this spring. She also recently appeared as a featured artist on alt rapper Rejjie Snow’s debut.

SUMMARY:Pond
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Bowery Boston \nDoors: 6:00 pm / Show: 7:00 pm \nTickets on sale Fri. 7/27 at 10AM! \nTickets available at AXS.COM\, or by phone at 855-482-2090.

A group who were often considered the younger sibling\, who have come into their own? Artists who just released their best piece of work yet\, and musicians who unleashed one of the rowdiest and strongest live touring sets 2014 witnessed? You call them POND. \n2014 unveiled the full-formed POND and the Northern Hemisphere barely survived. POND supported the Arctic Monkeys throughout Australia and then jumped on the next plane to Europe. There\, POND stunned audiences at Primavera Spain + Portugal\, UK festival Field Day\, and brought the house down\, every night\, across their UK/EU headlining tour. Touring with Nick Allbrook (Vocals / Guitar / Astronaut)\, Jay Watson (Drums / Vocals / Dad Jokes)\, Joseph Ryan (Guitar / Bass / Vocals / Actual spaceman)\, Jamie Terry (Keys / Good vibes) and with barely a breather between\, POND tore through North America\, with sell-out shows ranging from one coast to the next\, bouncing between countries like a pogo-stick. Pond’s 6th album “Man\, It Feels Like Space Again” hit the shelves January 23 (AUS) / January 26 (UK/EU) / January 27 (US) 2015\, with more festivals and headline tours booked around the globe to showcase the new tunes and support this stellar album release. \n“Man It Feels Like Space Again” was recorded in Melbourne Australia and once again mixed by buddy Kevin Parker. The band showcased “MIFLSA” songs throughout their first headline tour of the US in October. Starting at a festival in Mexico\, heading to New England\, traipsing through Canada\, and back down the west coast\, POND pondered\, why stop there? After their sold-out Los Angeles Halloween show\, POND ventured south to play music festivals in South America\, where audiences exploded upon hearing “MIFLSA”‘s hits and partied-hard with the melodious entertainers. \nHailing from Perth\, Australia’s POND formed in 2008 after good friends Joseph Ryan (Mink Mussel Creek)\, Nick Allbrook (Mink Mussel Creek\, Allbrook/Avery\, Tame Impala\, Peter Bibby & His Bottles of Confidence)\, and Jay Watson (Tame Impala) hit upon the idea of an all inclusive\, ego-free collaborative\, so the boys immediately recorded their debut album “Psychedelic Mango” with a little help from good friend Kevin Parker (Tame Impala). \nSince the beginning\, POND wrote music and produced records faster than a label could release them. POND followed up “Psychedelic Mango” within months\, releasing “Corridors of Blissterday\,” a frenzied effort recorded live with an eight-piece band in 2009. A year later\, their third album “Frond\,” a kaleidoscopic classic\, dripping with funk and falsetto\, loosely inspired by a diet consisting only of Prince and Fleetwood Mac\, delighted audiences Australia-wide. “Frond”‘s release finally realised industry attention and praise\, solidifying the band and their music in its own right. “Beard\, Wives and Denim\,” their 4th album\, was recorded on a farm a few hours South-West of Perth. “Beard\, Wives\, Denim” is a triumph of the eclecticism and good humor that drives POND. \nUpon “Beard\, Wives\, Denim” release in March 2012\, global attention shined its light upon the Perth gang. A North American tour ensued\, smashing through 31 shows — including 8 at South by South West — where they were one of the most talked about bands of the festival. From there\, they returned home to Australia and sold out a national tour before storming UK and Europe\, causing NME to tout them as the “hottest band in the world right now” as well as proclaiming “Beard\, Wives\, Denim” as “quite possibly the best album released so far this year.” \nIn August 2013\, POND gifted to the world their 5th LP in as many years\, “Hobo Rocket.” “Hobo Rocket” is 40 minutes of perfectly imperfect emotion\, challenging veteran listeners and music reviewers with an evolved and vigorous sound. Singer Nick Allbrook describes the release as the “…kind of mindset of finding our own little place in music\, and being more of a functioning band\, which is what makes it noisier and denser. This one we went as brutally hard as we would at a show. We wanted the songs to sound loose and live.” \nEnthusiasts and music aficionados world-wide agree MIFLSA is POND’s most focused composition to date. This mirrors their touring efforts\, dynamic and enthralling live show\, media buzz and essentially\, the maturation of a musical career a long time in the making. Maybe it’s not such a bad thing growing up\, especially when it’s this much fun! \n*** \nJuan Wauters \n \nWebsite\nFacebook \nJuan Wauters was born in Montevideo\, Uruguay and has been living in Jackson Heights since 2002. For five years he performed with\n“The Beets” and released three albums.  During this time he was influenced by of a large New York City music community.  After the group dissolved\, Juan struck out on his own\, releasing his first solo album (N.A.P.) in 2014.  The following year he released his second album\, “Who Me?”\, forging his own creative identity. After promoting these albums\, Juan questioned how he could make a living through his music and still have a rewarding life.  It was a time to rethink and evaluate his art and career. \nSince 2016 Juan has covered a lot of ground both physically and artistically.  He performed in his homeland for the first time\, directed the movie “Romane” in southwest France and traveled extensively in Latin America.  In June 2017\, he went to Mexico City to write music.  Up to this point\, most of Juan’s recording had been in English but that all changed when he revisited his Latin roots.  He always wanted to write an album while traveling as both time and place have a unique influence on music.  While in Mexico he was offered a role in a movie in Argentina so he packed his hundred pound studio in two suitcases and went. After filming the movie\, he recorded songs in Argentina\, Uruguay\, Chile\, Peru\, Mexico and Puerto Rico. At every stop Juan sought out artistic collaboration – especially with musicians who had different traditions and energies specific to region.  \nThough recorded entirely in Spanish\, Juan’s music still retains a New York style.  The first of a trilogy\, this special album “La Onda de Juan Pablo”\, reflects the best of all cultures and influences.

All patrons subject to search upon venue entry. \n*** \n \n*** \nKamasi Washington \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nWhen Kamasi Washington released his tour de force LP\, The Epic\, in 2015\, it instantly set him on a path as a torchbearer for progressive\, improvisational music that would open the door for new audiences to experience music unlike anything they had heard before. The 172-minute odyssey featuring his 10-piece band\, The Next Step\, was littered with elements of hip-hop\, classical and R&B music\, all major influences on the young saxophonist and bandleader\, who exceeds any notions of what “jazz” music is. \nReleased to critical acclaim\, The Epic won numerous “best of” awards\, including the American Music Prize and the Gilles Peterson Worldwide album of the year. Washington followed that work with collaborations with other influential artists such as Kendrick Lamar\, Run the Jewels\, Ibeyi\, and John Legend\, and the creation of “Harmony of Difference\,” a standalone multimedia installation during the 2017 Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. \nThe fulfillment of Washington’s destiny begin when at age 13\, Washington picked up his musician father’s horn and proceeded to play the Wayne Shorter composition “Sleeping Dancer Sleep On” despite never touching a saxophone or knowing how to play. After deciding to commit to his instrument\, he became\, lead tenor saxophone chair at the Academy of Music and Performing Arts at Alexander Hamilton High School\,\, where he started his first band—Young Jazz Giants—with pianist Cameron Graves\, Thundercat\, and Ronald Bruner\, Jr. \nWashington received a full scholarship to the University of California at Los Angeles\, where he studied ethnomusicology. He recorded his first album with Young Jazz Giants during the summer following his freshman year. The quartet’s self-titled debut was dripping with maturity well beyond the players’ collective age\, and with Washington penning four of the album’s seven original songs\, became a platform to spread the “now” sound of jazz all around the country. \nFollowing his sophomore year at UCLA\, Washington went on his first national tour with West Coast hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg\, performing alongside some of the most talented young musicians in the country. Later that year\, the young saxophonist joined the orchestra of Gerald Wilson\, one of his biggest heroes. After graduation\, Washington toured with Grammy Award-winning producer\, singer and songwriter Raphael Saadiq\, and later that year\, returned to Wilson’s band on the album In My Time. \nHis mass appeal continues to grow drawing vibrant\, diverse\, multi-generational crowds to his shows at the world’s most prominent festivals such as Coachella\, Glastonbury\, Fuji Rock\, Bonnaroo and Primavera. A prominent journalist recently summed it up best when he wrote “in a millennium largely absent of anything new or captivating in the jazz idiom\, Washington has just unleashed a musical hydra grounded in respect and intimate knowledge of the past and striking far out into a hopeful future.” Next up for Washington is the highly anticipated Harmony of Difference EP\, due for release this Fall and his sophomore album slated for 2018. \n*** \nButcher Brown \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nButcher Brown is an up-to-the minute throwback to the great progressive jazz bands of the 60s and 70s. They are a hard-working band in an era where most groups are fleeting assemblages\, together only long enough to record. Their organic coherence emerges from long collaboration as a group of equals rather than a top-down\, leader/sideman lineup. They are building their audience by any means necessary\, combining a conventional\, label-oriented approach with releasing “underground” tapes\, disciplined rehearsal and engaging\, adventurous performance. \nThis musical maturity is surprising in such a youthful band. The players in Butcher Brown were all born after the mid-70s golden age of fusion. But their modern\, hip-hop-inflected funk has rich echoes of Weather Report\, Return to Forever\, early Earth Wind and Fire and\, perhaps\, a pungent whiff of Zappa. Like those bands\, Butcher Brown’s unified sound comes from the intertwined talents of the four members\, each bringing something unique to the mix.

Bear unveiled his Toro y Moi guise in 2001\, in which he began incorporating electronics and channeling a wider swath of stylistic influences — from indie rock and ’60s baroque pop to ’80s R&B\, French house\, and underground hip-hop — into his own solo music. By the time he graduated from the University of South Carolina in 2009 with a BA in graphic design\, Bear had refined Toro y Moi into a truly unique\, captivating project\, with numerous music magazines and blogs touting his hazy recordings as the sound of summer. His Carpark-released debut album\, Causers of This\, would follow in early 2010 and garnered high praise in many publications including NME and Pitchfork. \nWith each subsequent record\, Bear revealed himself to be as prolific as diverse. From the space-age funk of 2011’s Underneath the Pine to the introspective\, house-tinged pop and soul of 2013’s Anything in Return\, to the ’70s radio gold influences percolating throughout 2015’s What For?\, Bear consistently steered Toro y Moi in new directions while never sacrificing his melodic sensibility or keen ear for arrangements and texture. Although his most recent excursions — last year’s stunning concert film/album\, Live from Trona (featuring an expanded line-up of Toro y Moi’s touring group performing in the California desert)\, and his Star Stuff collaboration with jazz duo the Mattson 2 (just released in late March on Carpark sister label Company Records\, which Bear runs) — were full-band affairs\, his latest Toro y Moi album is a much more personal outing. \nRecorded and produced by Bear in Portland\, Oregon\, between March 2016 and March 2017\, the spacious arrangements mirror the intimate\, soft-hued pop of Boo Boo. Eschewing the traditional rock instrumentation of What For?\, slow-pulsing neon synths and electronics are once again far more prevalent\, with subtle ’80s influences finespun through his song craft. Throughout\, Bear plays all of the instruments\, with the exception of guest spots from Anthony Ferraro (a/k/a Astronauts\, etc. and also Toro y Moi’s live keyboardist) and Madeline Kenney (Company Records recording artist). Toro y Moi’s most reflective album to date\, the woozy contemplations and daydreams of Boo Boo point toward an idyllic path of catharsis for not only the listener\, but for Chaz Bear himself. \n*** \nDizzy Fae \n \nFacebook\nTwitter \nDizzy Fae is a 19-year old alternative R&B artist based in St. Paul. As a student of dance (TU Dance) and vocal performance (Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts)\, Dizzy developed an eclectic style that has landed her on stages alongside The Internet\, Kehlani\, Poliça\, Empress Of\, and Jorja Smith. Her debut track “Color Me Bad” debuted on Zane Lowe’s Beats1 radio show while she sat in senior-year vocal class\, and shortly after graduation she embarked on a sold-out US tour with Lizzo. Her debut project Free Form mixtape—produced by Psymun (The Weeknd\, Corbin) and Su Na (GoldLink\, Gallant)—released in February 2018 to widespread indie acclaim.

We created them to extend ourselves\, and that is what is unique about human beings.” – Ray Kurzweil \nAlthough civilization’s transition into a cyborg world seems inevitable\, there are still those who recognize the beauty and power of a human touch to complement the circumvention. Jack Tatum understands this balance\, and through a decade making music as Wild Nothing he has learned to embrace both sides of that dynamic—but perhaps never as distinctly as on Indigo\, the fourth Wild Nothing album. On one hand\, it is a return to the fresh\, transcendent sweep of his debut\, 2010’s Gemini\, and on the other\, a culmination of heights reached\, paths traveled\, and lessons learned while creating the follow-ups\, Nocturne and Life of Pause. Indigo finds Tatum at his most efficient\, calculated\, and confident—resulting in an artful blend of hi-fi humanity and technology that fires on all circuits and synapses. \nWhereas Gemini was the sound of Tatum making the album he imagined in his bedroom and 2012’s Nocturne was the result of his first turn in a proper studio\, followed by 2016’s Life of Pause\, a multi-studio tinkering odyssey spanning time and spaces\, this 2018 maturation finds Tatum arriving at total creative openness. “My entire 20s have been spent on this project\, and in that sense you inherently find the limitations in what you make\,” Tatum says. “With the last record I was trying to stretch out as far as I could\, but with Indigo I’ve created something that has homed in on its own identity. My life has become less about chasing these creative bursts and more about learning to channel my creativity.” \nEvery note\, every sound\, every breath on a Wild Nothing release is intentional\, and Tatum admits to exhausting every possibility in his quest for perfection—an arc familiar to all artists. Like the novelist who admits to gratuitousness in their early works\, Tatum speaks to learning concision. “I’ve been a musician since age 10\,” he says. “It’s always been fun for me\, and there is always going to be a part of making music that feels like a puzzle: how do I put these pieces together to create something?” \nTo make Indigo\, Tatum confronted the Man vs. Machine dichotomy by seizing on the surrounding synergy. In his studio\, he would write pieces of songs on guitars\, with keyboards\, “in the box” with plug-ins and programs—whatever held his interest on any given day. Sticking to his routine\, he built a series of highly detailed demos\, intending to record the final package swiftly with a live band in a studio and—bucking against the trend of the rougher sound of Wild Nothing’s peers—in a clear\, bright\, 1980s-inspired fidelity. “I’ve finally accomplished a hi-fi sounding record\,” Tatum reflects. \nOn Indigo\, Tatum balances resources and influences. “I wanted it to sound like a classic studio record\, as close as I could get it there. It just boils down to me wanting to fit into some larger narrative\, musically\, in terms of these artists I love.” Tatum elaborates\, “The records that have influenced the actual sound of Indigo are by Roxy Music\, Kate Bush\, and Fleetwood Mac; Roxy Music’s Avalon is one of my favorite records ever. I think about how my music will age. Ideas of ‘timeless’ are going to be different—so if Indigo is not timeless then it’s at least ‘out of time.'” \nFinding the right people to work on the album was integral\, as was the proper place to record it. Tatum booked four days at Sunset Sound’s Studio and hired drummer Cam Allen and guitarist Benji Lysaght to track the record live while Tatum played bass. Afterwards\, producer Jorge Elbrecht (Ariel Pink\, Gang Gang Dance\, Japanese Breakfast) and Tatum built out the rest of the album’s sound by adding new parts and repurposing sounds from Tatum’s demos. The pair mixed the album in Denver in ten days\, and Tatum brought it back to his Glassell Park studio in Los Angeles for polishing. \nThe resulting Indigo is its own cyborg world\, utilizing the artful mechanisms of human touch with the precision of technology to create the classic\, pristine sound Tatum had been seeking his entire career. From the opening drum beat\, chiming guitar\, and sweeping synth of “Letting Go” to Tatum’s Bryan Ferry vocal turn on “Oscillation” to the ’80s-heavy blips\, clicks\, and strut of “Partners in Motion\,” it’s clear that Indigo is at once vintage Wild Nothing and a bold\, new leap into a bigger arena. As for the album’s title\, Tatum points to a lyric in the new song “The Closest Thing To Living”: “Breathe indigo\, it’s the closest thing to living.” “As I was writing that song I was thinking about the way we’ve merged ourselves with AI\, seeing that subtle\, blue iPhone glow on everyone’s faces\, and envisioning this color being representative of our effort to embrace this change in humanity. So it’s about the idea of this backlit reality we all live in\, and how to accept that.” \nThe album ends with the driving\, wide-open skies and epic beat of “Bend\,” solidifying Indigo as a grand achievement in scope and sound by a deft and exceedingly thoughtful artist. Beyond technique\, influence\, time\, and theme\, Tatum has succeeded in extending himself to his utmost capacity. “I don’t write songs because I have super specific things I want to say\, I write songs because I really care about the way instruments work together\, and I really care about being able to think about things as a whole\, sonically\,” Tatum says. “I write songs for the whole package.”

SUMMARY:Real Friends
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Bowery Boston \nDoors: 6:30 pm / Show: 7:00 pm \nTickets on sale Thu 8/16 at noon! \nTickets available at AXS.COM\, or by phone at 855-482-2090. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. \nPlease note: This show is open to all ages.  Opening acts and set times are subject to change without notice.  All sales are final unless a show is postponed or canceled.  All bags larger than 12 inches x 12 inches\, backpacks\, professional cameras\, video equipment\, large bags\, luggage and like articles are strictly prohibited from the venue.  Please make sure necessary arrangements are made ahead of time.  All patrons subject to search upon venue entry. \n*** \n \n*** \nReal Friends \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \ncomposure [kuh m-poh-zher] noun.\n1. serene\, self-controlled state of mind; calmness; tranquility: \nComposure ultimately empowers. \nBy reaching that sphere of serenity and confidence\, we can achieve our full potential. Real Friends make a major leap towards this space on their appropriately titled third full-length album\, Composure [Fearless Records]. The Tinley Park\, IL quintet—Dan Lambton [vocals]\, Dave Knox [guitar]\, Eric Haines [guitar]\, Kyle Fasel [bass]\, and Brian Blake [drums]—perfect their patented one-two punch of punk and pop\, while penning their most personal tunes to date. \n“We wanted it to be the standout album and literally reclaim our composure\,” says Kyle. “In some ways\, it felt like we were on autopilot or something until now. We had a conversation. We didn’t hold anything back. We devoted one million percent to the music\, were present\, and showed who we truly are.” \nFollowing a whirlwind of touring in support of 2016’s The Home Inside My Head\, the boys dove into writing a year later. They headed to Los Angeles to record with producer Mike Green—who helmed a handful of tracks on The Home Inside My Head. Musically\, they built on this incredible foundation by pushing themselves as writers first and foremost. \n“For us\, it’s truly the definition of a new start\,” Kyle elaborates. “We’re not beating around the bush. On the whole\, we weren’t satisfied with the The Home Inside My Head. We felt like something got lost along the way. It was a really good lesson though. So\, the songwriting became the focus. We aimed to make the most energetic\, dynamic\, and catchiest anthems we could.” \nDespite harnessing instant chemistry with Green\, the process presented a myriad of challenges as Dan’s bipolar disorder worsened. \n“Everything was a huge clusterfuck while we were recording\,” sighs Dan. “I was bouncing off the walls and just losing my mind. I couldn’t control myself. It was hard to pin me down in one direction. I was smoking too much weed. I was getting into trouble. It was a big wakeup call. Everybody finally sat me down and asked\, ‘What the fuck is going on with you? We’ve got to fix something here’.” \nAfter he finished his parts\, Dan found a new psychiatrist in Illinois\, received a different prescription\, enrolled in an outpatient program\, and attended group therapy alongside his bandmates. The vocalist openly shared his journey and struggles on social media\, engendering empathy and eliciting similar stories from the fans. It strengthened the Real Friends community in the process and set the stage for Composure. \nThe album’s first single “From The Outside” hinges on an off-time riff that swings into a confessional chorus as Dan sings\, “From the outside\, I seem fine. On the inside\, I’m \nstill sick. The pill’s a temporary fix.” Each word immediately connects as the music reflects a frenetic and fiery feeling. \n“It’s about the use of medication\, how it doesn’t sometimes work out\, and the feeling of confusion\,” Dan goes on. “The uncertainty can extend to everything in life. We don’t always know what’s good or bad for us. We question why we feel certain ways when things may seem crazy. In bipolar disorder\, untreated mania and depression go wildly out-of-control. With the mania\, I feel invincible. On the other end of the spectrum\, it’s just the opposite. I think we all share similar feelings.” \nMeanwhile\, “Smiling On The Surface” builds from acoustic guitar into another high energy chant. The sweeping dynamic underscores a relatable message written by Kyle. \nWith many tunes about coming-of-age\, the boys tackled another phase of this struggle in the poignant slow burn of “Unconditional Love\,” which is “about how we end up taking care of our parents.” \nIn the end\, Real Friends have certainly come full circle\, found their composure\, and remain ready for their brightest chapter yet. \n“Emotionally\, I hope listeners feel connected to it\,” concludes Kyle. “On a guttural level\, I hope they think it’s our best release so far. That’s what we set out to make.” \n*** \nBoston Manor \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n*** \nGrayscale \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nSince forming in 2011\, when its band members were only in high school\, the Philadelphia-based quintet—composed of vocalist Collin Walsh\, guitarist/vocalist Dallas Molster\, guitarist Andrew Kyne\, bassist Nick Ventimiglia and drummer Nick Veno—has emerged quickly from the Philadelphia punk scene\, establishing a solid fan base and sharing stages with the likes of Cute Is What We Aim For\, Knuckle Puck\, Neck Deep\, Seaway\, and more. Working with producer Kyle Black (State Champs\, Handguns\, Hit The Lights) for their Fearless Records debut album\, Adornment\, Grayscale has honed their talent of constructing strong hooks\, relatable lyrics and catchy riffs\, all the while coming into their own distinguished sound. Through their unbarred emotion and unique blend of alternative rock and punk roots\, Adornment\, sees the band expand their sonic palette\, further illuminating their skill of creating well-narrated stories paired with palpable emotion that urges listeners to dive in and craft their own narratives. \n*** \nEat Your Heart Out \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nHailing from Newcastle\, Australia\, Eat Your Heart Out—Caitlin Henry [vocals]\, Andrew Anderson [guitar]\, Will Moore [guitar]\, Dom Cant [bass]\, and Jake Cronin [drums]— carry on the tradition of Australia’s impressive history of musical outliers from Nick Cave and Silverchair to The Amity Affliction and Parkway Drive\, but they do so unequivocally on their own terms. The group’s grunge-y pastiche of emo energy\, punk power\, and pop palatability immediately ignited excitement around the world upon their emergence in 2012. Along the way\, the quartet released two EPs\, Distance Between Us (2015) and Carried Away (2017)\, inked a deal with Fearless Records\, and have supported artists such as Trophy Eyes\, Hands Like Houses\, Knuckle Puck\, Real Friends\, and many others. Everything paved way for the group’s 2017 EP\, Mind Games [Fearless Records]\, which shows the band aren’t afraid to open up. Their lyrical honesty ensures that the message resonates loudly in the end.

With songs that hone a masterful quality\, telling a story of miles\, landscapes\, and the search for a sense of place\, he has been described as “strong\, subtle…a lyrical genius.” Isakov has recently released an album of his songs played in collaboration with the Colorado Symphony. \n*** \n Leif Vollebekk  \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n“A friend told me it was Saturn returns and that may be true. I was about to turn thirty and I knew that if I didn’t change direction I was going to end up exactly where I was headed.” \nAt the end of Leif Vollebekk’s twenties\, his own songs didn’t sound right. He had spent an entire year on the road\, playing almost 100 shows\, but every night his favourite moment came only right at the end\, covering a song by Ray Charles or Townes Van Zandt. Every time he got home from tour he took a hot shower and lay still under a window\, listening to Nick Drake’s Pink Moon\, feeling saved\, wondering why his own music didn’t give him that. Why the songs he had written himself always felt like so much work. \nHe booked himself a secret show. One night only at a Montreal dive bar — not to play his own songs but other people’s. Leif found a rhythm section and they rehearsed once. Then midnight unspooled. Leif called it the most fun he had ever had playing music: Ray Charles and Tom Waits over a locked groove; Bob Dylan and Kendrick Lamar over a slow pulse. The light was dark blue and purple. \nIt was time\, Leif understood\, to make a dark blue and purple record. An album of locked groove and slow pulse\, heavy as a fever. And the lesson he learned from singing all those other people’s songs was that none of those other artists seemed worried about anything except laying down their own souls\, flat out. “I used to think\, ‘This will be kinda like a Neil Young song\,’ ‘This will be kinda like a Bob Dylan song\,'” he recalled. “I kinda ran out of people to imitate. And then there was just me.” \nHis first new song came to him on his bicycle. He wasn’t thinking\, wasn’t trying\, but the rhythm\, the chords\, the melody — it all just fluttered up. He tried at first to let it go: the song wasn’t meticulous enough\, it wasn’t studied or conceived. The next morning it still came back to him\, incontestable. “I told myself\, ‘You’re never saying no to a song ever again\,'” Leif said. “I realized I had been saying ‘no’ to a lot of songs\, over the years.” Twin Solitude is what happened when Leif stopped saying no. The songs started coming so fast: fully formed\, impossible. “Vancouver Time” took 15 minutes; “Telluride” took less. It was as if the songs were waiting for him. Instead of obsessing about the details of recording\, “I just showed up to the studio and went\, ‘Let’s see what happens.'” \nWhat happened was\, they got it: “Big Sky Country” and its patient\, coasting tranquility\, “Into the Ether\,” which rides to reverie with the Brooklyn string duo Chargaux. There’s “East of Eden\,” an interpolation of Gillian Welch\, which doesn’t seem like it ever ought to end. For a beautiful album\, Twin Solitude is deceptively brave\, filled with unexpected refrains. “When the cards get stuck together / so hard to pull them apart\,” Leif sings\, “I think your face is showing.” Then: “Ain’t the first time that it’s snowing.” \nYet in its heart\, above all\, Twin Solitude is a gesture back to Leif’s long nights under a pink moon\, when a record was the only thing that could keep him company. Besides a wink to Hugh MacLennan’s novel “Two Solitudes\,” this is the unlonely loneliness of the album’s title. “It isn’t a record I made for other people — it’s the one I made for myself\,” Leif said. “It’s the album I wish I could have put on.” \nListen to it in a rental car in cold weather\, with the windows all rolled up. Listen to it laying by an open window. Listen to it all the way through\, alone. “By the time the last notes die away\, all that’s left should be you\,” Leif told me. “And I’ll be somewhere else. And that’s Twin Solitude.”

With songs that hone a masterful quality\, telling a story of miles\, landscapes\, and the search for a sense of place\, he has been described as “strong\, subtle…a lyrical genius.” Isakov has recently released an album of his songs played in collaboration with the Colorado Symphony. \n*** \nReed Foehl \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nBorn into a musical family\, Reed grew up in a small country town in New England\, listening to his parent’s bluegrass band rehearse in the living room every Thursday night for all of his childhood. From there Reed took to the streets at the early age of 11 performing at Boston’s own Fanuel Hall Marketplace. He then became the front man for the band Acoustic Junction which toured for ten years nationwide and eventually signed with Capricorn/Mercury records. In 2001 he began his solo career with the release of Spark which put him on the map in the publishing world\, garnering placements in both film and television. His 4th solo album\, Lost In The West was released in 2014\, which led him to tour with Gregory Alan Isakov\, Todd Snider and Anais Mitchell\, to name a few. Recently Reed was nominated for a Grammy for his song “Fly” which was covered by the country music star Lee Ann Womack.  Dusty and patient his music is genuine Americana\,  telling stories of the human condition with lyrics and a voice that push the boundaries while paying homage to tradition.  2018 is shaping up to be a big year for Reed as he plans to release his 5th solo record.  Stay tuned…

All patrons subject to search upon venue entry. \n*** \n*** \nAllen Stone \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nSoul/ R&B artist Allen Stone proves himself deeply devoted to making uncompromisingly soulful music that transcends all pop convention. His vocals and melodic style show the clear influence of classic soul and R&B of the 1960s and ’70s\, while his lyrics reveal an idealism and passion that recall the folk-inspired singer/songwriters of the same era. \nBorn in Chewelah Washington\, Stone started discovering those vocals as a kid\, thanks largely to his parents’ influence. “My father was a minister so I spent about half my childhood in church\, watching my mom and dad sing together and lead the congregation in song\,” he recalls. By the time he was 11 he’d picked up a guitar and written his first song\, and soon began self-recording demo tapes to pass along to classmates. Although Stone enrolled in Bible College after high school\, he quickly dropped out to move to Seattle and kick start his music career. “I had an ’87 Buick and I’d drive up and down the west coast\, playing any gig I could get just to try to put my music out there\,” he says. \nIn 2010\, Stone recorded an album called Last to Speak that he released digitally through his own Stickystones label. A second album\, simply titled Allen Stone\, followed in the fall of 2011\, and quickly became an independent success story. Online sales took the album to the top of the online charts\, and it placed on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart\, all without a formal distribution deal. The artist-friendly ATO Records label signed Stone in 2012\, and reissued his eponymous album in the summer of that year. He then signed to Capitol Records and worked extensively with fellow singer and songwriter Tingsek. The result\, Radius\, was released in May 2015. \nStone decided to return to ATO Records and released his latest album\, Radius Deluxe. As the New York Times recently said Stone’s lyrics “promise honest sentiments\, grooves built with physical instruments and a gospel-rooted determination to uplift … glimmers of Al Green\, Bill Withers\, Curtis Mayfield\, George Clinton\, Prince and a bit of Sting.” \nStone is currently working on his next album\, which is set be released on ATO Records later this year. \n*** \nNick Waterhouse \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nNick Waterhouse is the New Breed – An R&B fanatic who combines an uncanny old-school sensibility with a charged\, contemporary style. At just 25\, He joins the ranks of a growing cabale of similar acts and producers of recent times – Mark Ronson\, Mayer Hawthorne\, the Daptone Crew et al – that are all moving forward into the past\, yet all quite different. For Waterhouse\, his muse is the over-modulated sound of vintage R&B\, and his take on such a time-honored tradition evokes the back-alley thrill of New Orleans\, Detroit and Memphis in their heyday. He combines an astute attention to detail with an honest desire to match the emotional impact of the music that inspires him. \nWhen asked to pinpoint the sound or style he strives for\, Nick Waterhouse simply shrugs and responds\, “American music. And I know that’s pretty general\, but it is what it is. I have spent so much of my life immersed in this stuff\, because I wanted to figure it out\, [yet] all I figured out was that there was no plan.” In other words\, whatever musical style Nick may choose to espouse\, it’s not done because someone else did it\, but done for the same reason someone else did it. “To me\, [the music I play] is not a ‘type’ of music\,” he emphasizes; “it IS music. The records I listen to ARE music. A record is a moment in time\, and something recorded in 1955 is the same as something recorded in 2010.” Growing up in the Southern California\, Waterhouse eschewed his surroundings and found emotional authenticity in the vintage wax of Ray Charles\, Roy Head\, Little Willie John and the whole panoply of American music\, where feel so often trumps technique. After the sold out release of his own self-produced 45\, the raunchy ‘Some Place’\, and a string of exciting shows with his live group The Tarots\, Nick went to work on his forthcoming full-length for Innovative Leisure – continuing an undeniably raw and rhythmic take on American music. \nHis approach to production – entirely vintage analog equipment\, open-reel tape machines\, lacquer cutting machines\, and even hand letter-pressed labels – has left a few fans wondering where and when he comes from; Long-lost deadstock Rhythm & Blues artifact? White or Black? New or old? It’s a fitting recall to the days of early Rock & Roll\, when rhythms crossed the tracks and no-one was quite sure WHAT or WHO this music was. As LA Record bears witness\, “You’ve gotta be one kind of maniac to produce like this\, and a whole other kind to shout like this\, and an even more frightening kind to make the first two maniacs work together. Nick pulling this all off simultaneously means preternatural powers in play”

All patrons subject to search upon venue entry. \n*** \nTall Heights \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nGetting there is half the fun\, as the old saying goes\, but the journey is really the whole point for Boston electrofolk duo Tall Heights. Singer/guitarist Tim Harrington and singer/cellist Paul Wright know where they’ve been\, and where they want to go. As for the route\, well\, “we’re just mapping it out as we take it\, day by day\,” says Harrington. \nThey’ve reached their biggest junction so far — Neptune\, out now\, is Tall Heights’ first album for Sony Music Masterworks\, and the latest step in the ongoing evolution of their sound and style. \nHarrington and Wright formed Tall Heights in 2010\, keeping their songs stripped down to their essential elements\, in part\, to make it simpler to perform on the streets of Boston. \nNeptune is a far lusher construct: along with pristine and emotive vocal harmonies\, there’s subtly chugging electric guitar and a spare descending bassline on “Iron in the Fire\,” ethereal synthesizers and a spacious drum part on “Spirit Cold\,” a brittle splash of percussion to open “Backwards and Forwards” and feedback created by two cellphones on “Cross My Mind.” \n“It was helpful and I think comforting to define ourselves as two vocalists\, guitar and cello\,” Wright says. “There was a beauty and a simplicity\, and stepping outside of that box is pretty scary\, because you’re forced to redefine yourself and do some sonic soul-searching. I think this record reflects the results of that scary step.” \nThe band’s broadening sound came from the musicians’ conscious effort to push themselves\, and each other\, to create in new ways. By relying on a few core elements at the start\, the duo learned to make the most of their minimalist set-up. “It taught us to be lean and mean and effective with just two voices and two instruments\,” Harrington says. “It made us consider vocal tone and the way voices can mesh and interact.” \nAs those lessons took root\, the pair essentially gave themselves permission to push their musical boundaries outward over three separate recording sessions at Color Study studio in tiny Goshen\, Vermont\, that yielded songs for their 2015 EP Holding On\, Holding Out\, and for Neptune. Not only did Harrington and Wright expand their sonic palette throughout the process\, they also altered their approach to writing. The musicians tend to develop ideas separately\, before one brings a new song to the other for further development. It’s a reflection of their early days sharing musical ideas\, when Wright was living overseas and Harrington was finishing up college. \n“We would send each other terrible sound-recorder voice memo files and we’d write these nice emails to each other about each other’s songs\, so creating concepts independently is something we’ve always done\,” says Wright\, who has been friends with Harrington since they were kids growing up in the central Massachusetts town of Sturbridge. \nThey changed the formula on Neptune. Four songs on the album — “River Wider\,” “Infrared\,” “Cross My Mind” and “Growing” — are the result of one musician looping a simple instrumental part and letting the other write lyrics for it. With the last recording session looming\, the duo worked faster than usual on those songs\, particularly the somber\, atmospheric “Cross My Mind.” “We were under the gun\, he was downstairs making one thing\, I was upstairs making another thing\, we put them together and then we workshopped it in the car on the drive up to the studio\,” says Harrington\, whose Boston apartment is literally upstairs from Wright’s. \nTheir ever-closer collaboration\, and the time they gave themselves in the studio to develop it\, is indicative of the band’s developing approach to making music. “I can hear the evolution happening\,” Harrington says. “I feel like we’re walking across a bridge from one place to another\, and maybe I’ll always feel that way\, but I’m really happy with how we’re moving.” \n“Intimate and arresting” – NPR \n“Tall Heights employ a collection of acoustic guitar\, cello\, and electronic drums\,​ ​reminiscent of contemporary indie folk giants like Justin Vernon and Fleet​ ​Foxes.”​​ – XPN \n“In addition to finger-picked guitar\, swelling cello and tight\,​ ​prismatic vocal harmonies\, ‘Spirit Cold’ boasts a bold\, airy drum part​ ​that propels the song through the peaks and troughs of the​ ​arrangement.”​ – Wall Street Journal​ \n“It’s a contemporary sound that is not without its ageless qualities.” – Chicago Sun Times \n“Certifiably unclassifiable” – Boston Herald \n“There have been many bands in recent years that have employed beautiful close harmonies\, but when you add the strings and the great songwriting\, Tall Heights is a notch above the pack.” – WBEZ \n“Call it simply gorgeous.” – WFUV \n*** \nFrances Cone \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nFRANCES CONE is Christina Cone\, Andrew Doherty\, Adam Melchor\, and Aaron Hamel. The Nashville based indie-pop band\, fronted by Christina Cone\, is named after Christina’s father and great-grandfather\, both musicians themselves in South Carolina and both born on September 11th. The band has been praised for their compelling\, emotional live show and captivating recordings. In 2016\, FrancesCone released\, “Arizona\,” the first single from their forthcoming full-length album\, Late Riser\, which is set to release in 2018. Stereogum praised “Arizona” for “Cone’s melodic vocals\, rich harmonies\, and an electrifying guitar sound.” Written about her brother\, filmmaker Stephen Cone\, “Arizona’s” reach has extended far and wide at 9.5 million streams on Spotify. \nThe band’s second single\, “Leave Without You\,” released in March 2017\, is an emotional song about the band’s decision to leave Brooklyn. Cone says\, “it is the only place I’ve known as an adult person\, and (the song is about) what and who I’ll carry with me.” Billboard raved that the track “employs the band’s signature slow build before exploding with synth and drums into the song’s chorus.” \n*** \nOld Sea Brigade \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nOld Sea Brigade is Atlanta raised\, Nashville based singer-songwriter\, Ben Cramer. He delivers a compelling\, heartfelt\, and atmospheric blend of folk\, country\, Americana\, and indie rock that CLASH music has described as “gorgeous\, meditative songwriting” with a “sense of Southern gothic.” \nIn 2016 after self releasing his debut EP\, Cramer embarked on his first U.S. tour landing key support slots for Julien Baker\, Hiss Golden Messenger and John Paul White. During this time he signed with Nettwerk Music Group and over the following year released two more EP’s\, “Wash Me Away” and “Cover My Own.” \nOld Sea Brigade continued to tour throughout 2017\,  including support for Joseph on their UK/EU tour in February and Lewis Watson in September. The singer/songwriter also saw support from major radio stations such as BBC Radio 1\, Radio X\, Virgin Radio and KEXP as well as having his music streamed over 20 million times on Spotify.  \nOld Sea Brigade will be releasing his debut full-length record in 2018.

A solo contract with Sony Latin in 1993 enabled him to record in Spain the first of his highly celebrated Spanish-language solo albums\, Frío. In between solo projects\, Draco worked with Ricky Martin\, Ednita Nazario and Julio Iglesias among other celebrated artists. He is the creator of unforgettable hits such as “A Medio Vivir”\, “María\,” “Vuelve”\, “La Copa De La Vida”\, “Livin’ La Vida Loca”\, “She Bangs”\, “Más Grande Que Grande”\, and many more.  \nPhantom Vox Studios\, Rosa’s own multi-media recording studio worked as Music Supervisor for Livin’ the Life\, an independent movie that won the Best Film Award in the 1999 New York Latin Film Fest. The studio filmed and edited the video for “Commitment #4\,” a track Draco composed and recorded in dedication to the freedom of the island of Vieques\, a municipality of Puerto Rico. \nIn 2004\, Draco released Mad Love. With most songs in English\, collaborations with musicians from all over the world and two videos included in the CD–for “Dancing in the Rain” and “Lie Without a Lover\,” both directed by Angela Alvarado Rosa.  \nIn 2008\, Draco released his second Spanish only album\, Vino which was a follow up to Vagabundo. Vino is included in his long awaited production DRACO: LIMITED COLLEC TOR’S EDITION. \nOutside of his personal investments\, musical and otherwise\, he has also contributed towards the improvement of artistic and cultural life in Puerto Rico\, sponsoring the island’s Museo de Arte and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo\, and setting up an annual scholarship for outstanding students at the Puerto Rico’s Music Conservatory.

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Khruangbin
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Bowery Boston \nDoors: 8:00 pm / Show: 9:00 pm \nSOLD OUT! \nPlease note: this show is 18+ with valid ID. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent. Opening acts and set times are subject to change without notice. All sales are final unless a show is postponed or canceled. All bags larger than 12 inches x 12 inches\, backpacks\, professional cameras\, video equipment\, large bags\, luggage and like articles are strictly prohibited from the venue. Please make sure necessary arrangements are made ahead of time. All patrons subject to search upon venue entry. \n*** \n \n*** \nKhruangbin \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nTexan trio Khruangbin is formed of Laura Lee on bass\, Mark Speer on guitar\, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums. Taking influence from 1960’s Thai funk – their name literally translates to “Engine Fly” in Thai. \nThe seeds of Khruangbin were sown when Mark and Laura were invited to tour with Ninja Tune’s YPPAH supporting Bonobo across his 2010 American tour. The tour galvanised the two to start making music together more seriously\, with DJ – he and Mark have played in the same gospel band for years – the natural choice for drums. Sharing their first recordings\, Bonobo included Khruangbin’s ‘A Calf Born In Winter’ on his 2013 Late Night Tales compilation. Subsequently signed to Late Night Tales offshoot Night Time Stories\, ‘A Calf Born In Winter’ was released as a single in May 2014 and saw support from DJs Zane Lowe\, Cerys Matthews\, Tom Ravenscroft\, Gideon Coe\, Don Letts and magazines as musically diverse as i-D\, The 405\, Clash\, Ransom Note\, Test Pressing and For Folk’s Sake. Four track EP ‘The Infamous Bill’ followed in October\, with covers EP ‘History Of Flight’ on Record Store Day 2015. The band’s debut album ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ was released in November 2015 to widespread acclaim. \n‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ steeped in the bass heavy\, psychedelic sound of their inspiration\, Tarantino soundtracks and surf-rock cool\, was recorded at their spiritual home\, a remote barn deep in the Texas countryside. The band listened to a lot of different types of music on the long drives out to the country but their favorites were 60s and 70s Thai cassettes gleaned from the cult Monrakplengthai blog and compilations of southeast Asian pop\, rock and funk. This had a heavy impact on the direction of the band\, the scales they used and the inflection of the melodies; which coupled with the spaciousness of the Texan countryside culminated in Khruangbin forming their exotic\, individual sound.  \n2016 was a defining year for Khruangbin. After a chance meeting on BBC Radio\, Father John Misty invited the band to support him on his UK & European tour. They hit the road for a month experiencing some of Europe’s biggest stages – and they didn’t falter once. A summer of live shows followed which saw them play the Park Stage at Glastonbury\, a sunrise session at Love International Croatia\, BST Hyde Park London and supporting Massive Attack in landmark event The Downs to name just a few. Come the Autumn the band took to the road again for their first US headline tour\, this was followed by an appearance at Austin City Limits and a UK headline tour. They sold out shows including New York\, London\, San Francisco\, Berlin and the list goes on. \nHaving engaged early support from KCRW\, The New Yorker and named The Guardians Band Of The Week in the UK\, press and radio support for the band grows with every release and every tour. During their 2016 UK visit they were invited to play their first ever set on the prestigious Boiler Room. \nWhere they find the time for further projects no one is quite sure but this is a band whose creative interests extend beyond the confines of traditional formats. In 2016 the band released a short film “Two Fish and an Elephant” directed by Scott Dungate. This beautifully crafted film\, released to accompany the album track of the same name\, was funded in part by an innovative Kickstarter campaign\, so creative in its design it smashed its target and beyond. The resulting film had such impact it scored a premier on NPR. \nWhen you hear Khruangbins album it is likely you will fall in love with it\, its fair to say there is nothing else out there that sounds quite like it. You see them play live and you fall in love all over again when you experience the music translated to stage in a way you won’t have imagined. When Khruangbin play a show – they play a show! \n2017 kicks off with a US winter tour and a return to South By Southwest. The summer will include a variety of US festivals and a visit back to European soil. Will we see new material emerge this year? Knowing this band and how their artistry seems to effortlessly turn out new offerings it is very likely – and so we eagerly wait… \n*** \nWill Van Horn \n \nWebsite\nFacebook

All patrons subject to search upon venue entry. \n*** \nPhosphorescent \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nIn the five years since Matthew Houck’s last record as Phosphorescent he fell in love\, left New York for Nashville\, became a father\, built a studio from the ground up by hand\, and became a father again. Oh\, and somewhere along the way\, he nearly died of meningitis. Life\, love\, new beginnings\, death— “it’s laughable\, honestly\, the amount of ‘major life events’ we could chalk up if we were keeping score\,” Houck says. “A lot can happen in five years.” \nOn C’est La Vie\, Houck’s first album of new Phosphorescent material since 2013’s gorgeous career defining and critically acclaimed Muchacho\, he takes stock of these changes through the luminous\, star-kissed sounds he has spent a career refining. By now\, Houck has mastered the contours of this place\, as intimate as it is grand\, somewhere between dreamed and real\, where the great lyrical songwriters meet experimental pioneers and somehow distill into the same person. It is Houck’s own personal musical cosmos\, a mixture of the earthy and the wondrous\, the troubled and the serene\, and by now he commands it with depth and precision. When you ask Houck about the cumulative effect of all this life happening in such a short time\, he turns philosophical: ”These significant moments in life can really make you feel your insignificance\,” he says. “It’s a paradox I guess\, that these wildly profound events simultaneously highlight that maybe none of this matters at all…”  On this album\, Houck reckons with that void — the vanishing point where our individual significance melts into the stars — and sums it up thusly: C’est La Vie. \nFrom the album’s opening moments\, Houck sings of this newfound landscape. Of the discovery of new paradigms and the disposal of those no longer useful. After the wordless\, haunting Houck-choir opener of “Black Moon / Silver Waves”\, he pointedly begins the title track “C’est La Vie No. 2” with the albums first lyrics: “I wrote all night / Like the fire of my words could burn a hole up to heaven / I don’t write all night burnin’ holes up to heaven no more.” \n“I was always pursuing this thing of Phosphorescent and becoming the artist that I wanted to become\, that sometimes I didn’t even have a second for reflection\,” Houck says of the hectic years spent creating\, releasing and touring Muchacho. “I was plowing forward—just do\, do\, do and all else was secondary.” Not that this album exhibits any sense of settling down into complacency. On the contrary\, this collection contains some of Houck’s most devastating works to date\, but there’s a refreshing measured confidence that radiates throughout C’est La Vie. \nSonically\, C’est La Vie is his masterwork: Every sound\, including his famously frayed\, bemused voice\, rings out as inviting and clear as a koi pond. Working in a studio he built from scratch (which certainly came with its own set of challenges) Houck once again set off to produce his own record\, calling in musicians from his crack live band as well as friends new and old\, and enlisting veteran Vance Powell to help mix the completed project. The writing process was more intuitive\, less cerebral and with fewer revisions than anything he’d written before. It was a scary\, liberating new approach\, like painting with his eyes closed. “I let go of a lot of my writer-poet tricks\, and let the lyrics be what they wanted to be\,” he says. These lyrics marvel at life’s ability to uproot and re-deposit you into alien\, revelatory landscapes: “If you’d have seen me last year\, I’d have said\, ‘I can’t even see you there from here.’” he sings\, wryly\, on “There From Here.” This has been one of Phosphorescent’s constant themes—the ever-present possibility for transformation. \nBut for the first time\, Houck seems to be laying down some burdens. “These rocks\, they are heavy/I’ve been carrying them around all my days\,” he sighs on the album’s closing ballad “These Rocks.” On that same song he also muses\, with disarming forthrightness\, about drinking: “I stayed drunk for a decade/I’ve been thinking of putting that stuff away.” The lyric makes Houck somewhat uncomfortable\, both in its direct simplicity and its capacity to distract listeners into thinking he’d written a stereotypical “battle with the bottle” song. “I’m aware of how that verse resonates\, but for me those lines take a backseat to the main driver of that song\,” he says. “I originally assumed I’d rewrite and re-sing that lyric\,” he says. “But the bones of that song were recorded live and it was the first time I ever played it. It was the first time the band ever heard it and I think it captured something perfect. And it was\, y’know\, true.” So I had to ask myself\, again\, ‘Well\, what is the point of what I’m doing here? I could re-record it but why not just let it be?” To hear Houck\, he confronts this moment of mystery every time he records. “Oh yeah\, this process is positively filled with moments where you go ‘What exactly the hell is it that I’m doing here?’” Houck laughs. “And the answer always comes back a resounding\, ‘I don’t know.’” \nAin’t that just how it goes\, C’est La Vie. \n*** \n Liz Cooper and The Stampede  \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nAh\, yes\, hello\, howdy and welcome to the about section of Liz Cooper & The Stampede. My name is Liz\, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Dream-folk psychedelic rock is what we’ve heard on the streets and we dig what the people think. I suppose the blending of my unique vocal texture with my no rules\, what-the-hell-am-I-doing picking and playing style from acoustic to electric guitar is the dream folk. The psychedelic is the way Grant Prettyman makes his v rare\, v sexy Red Lobster® red bass sometimes sound like a scary monster that lives in your basement\, or a beautiful melody that makes you wanna cry. And our rock? Ryan Usher. He’s always creatively thinking outside the box\, always bringing the vibe\, and is always there to reel us back in from a jam we’ve lost ourselves in. All together we like to sing sweet sweet harms\, we live to be wild\, we love getting weird\, and we always have fun. Pure bliss. We recorded our debut album\, “Window Flowers” in 2016 at Welcome to 1979 in Nashville\, TN and we are elated to finally be releasing these songs through our label Sleepyhead Records in conjunction with Thirty Tigers on August 10th.
