SUMMARY:Bart Budwig & Dan Blakeslee
DESCRIPTION:Bart Budwig makes his Lizard Lounge debut Sept 24th with Dan Blakeslee!\n\n\n$15 adv/$20 door \nDoors 7 \nBart Budwig is a son of Idaho\, a cosmic country crooner\, a rousing trumpet player\, and cryin’-style soul singer. His music is made up of seemingly incongruous parts; thrum & strum country rhythms\, jazz guitar melodies\, R&B vocals. When Bart sings he draws out words into meditative mantras\, whole note neologisms that keep you hanging on until his raspy voice trails off in a ragged edge. His forthcoming album\, Another Burn On The AstroTurf (January 24\, 2020\, Fluff and Gravy Records) was recorded over five days by a seven-piece band inside the OK Theater. It’s a melancholy rhapsody that recalls the uncorked rock n’ roll spirituality of king mystic Van Morrison\, the gloomy nostalgia of dark prince Nick Drake and the songcraft sans self-seriousness of 70s Muscle Shoals. \nLike those psycho-spiritual song crafters\, his power comes from vocal idiosyncrasies – intonations of love\, impermanence\, hope\, humor. The album opens with Budwig originals “Time For Two”\, “First To Go”\, and “Strong Coffee”– originally presented with just solo guitar (and crackling wood stove) on the album Sabai. The songs are recorded here live\, full band\, in medley\, with hot electric guitar\, woody double bass\, and drums. The band electrifies and scourges the flesh of the songs into fully formed folk rock stunners. \nThere is what the Romans called a “divine lustre” about Bart Budwig. His blonde hair and beard wrap around his collar\,and frame his smile in a nimbus of gold. His radiance belies the loyalty he commands of an army of talent. He’d sooner tell you a joke than reveal to you he’s recorded dozens of albums and hundreds of songs in the last few years. Bart’s mastery of dramatic irony turns his work with complex emotional states of being into comforting\, uplifting\, relatable music. \nIt’s this ability to combine tragedy and comedy in his humanist hallelujahs that makes Budwig a gravitational force and industry chimera. The studio general\, the clown prince\, the sensitive songwriter with a rugged voice. The soul singer with a cosmic country band. The creator of a folk universe drawing musicians from everywhere to the middle of nowhere. It’s this juxtaposition that makes Another Burn On The AstroTurfanother success for Bart Budwig\, and a must listen for you. – Sean Jewell \nBart Budwig \n\n\nWith a suitcase of songs\, Maine folk troubadour Dan Blakeslee ventured into the subways of Boston in 1995 to practice his craft. He has been making music and art throughout New England ever since\, leading him to tour the U.S. performing with Langhorne Slim\, The Low Anthem\, David Wax Museum\, Lydia Loveless\, The Lumineers\, Old 97′s\, Brown Bird\, Josh Ritter\, Death Vessel and Kimya Dawson among others. In 2015 his dream of playing Newport Folk Festival became a reality\, where Bob Dylan went electric 50 years earlier. Blakeslee’s band The Calabash Club formed in 2008 and released their third album together “Christmasland Jubilee” a rollicking\, jubilant Christmas album on December 1\, 2020. Blakeslee is unafraid to bare his very soul on stage\, emptying a loaded cache of emotion and passion onto the stage for all to witness\, explore and devour. \n \nDan Blakeslee

SUMMARY:Ali McGuirk
DESCRIPTION:Soulful influenced singer songwriter Ali McGuirk returns to the Lizard Lounge Sept 25th!\n\n\n$20 GA adv/$27 door \n$60 Reserved Table For 2 \n \nBlending classic soul power with a folk songwriter lyricism\, New England’s Ali McGuirk has the rare ability to silence a room with just a few words of a song. With a voice that is raw and sultry and a style rooted in improvisation\, her sets are a hypnotic and intimate journey. \nOn her Signature Sounds Recordings debut ’Til It’s Gone\, McGuirk delivers a sublime set of songs that pairs her trademark soul sound with rootsy turns and raw rock ‘n’ roll detours. The album landed on the Boston Globe’s Top 50 Albums list for 2022. Consequence of Sound raved\, “‘All Back’ feels like it could exist somewhere outside of space and time– it could be on a record in the background of a party in a 1970s bungalow\, or it could be on your Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify. Either way\, it’s a great listen.” \nMcGuirk co-produced ‘Til It’s Gone with Jonah Tolchin (a star singer-songwriter in his own right) and a set of session legends: Little Feat guitarist/mandolinist Fred Tackett\, organist Larry Goldings (James Taylor\, Norah Jones)\, singer Valerie Pinkston (Ray Charles\, Luther Vandross)\, percussionist Lenny Castro (Stevie Nicks\, Stevie Wonder). They provided the astounding chops\, but the true magic of the album comes from McGuirk’s singular voice as both singer and songwriter. The nine tracks run from intimate introspection to wider meditations on oppression and justice\, from tough r&b and tender soul to big rock guitar and twangy folk. And McGuirk’s voice – bold\, buttery\, spellbinding – carries each song to the next til they’re gone. \nAli McGuirk

SUMMARY:Otis Grove
DESCRIPTION:Otis Grove bring the Runk back to Lizard Lounge Sept 26th.\n\n\n$20 adv/$25 door \nDoors at 8 \nThere’s a new sound taking over the town known as Boston. If you’re by the banks of the Charles River as the moon glows over the muddy waters you very well may hear some thick\, groovy beats banging out a trail for raw guitar licks and a soul-drenched Hammond organ. Yes indeed\, ladies and gentleman who are down with the funk\, it’s time to get rocked by your new favorite band: Otis Grove. \n \nOtis Grove began as a collective experiment in crossing the traditional organ jazz sound with funk\, hip-hop\, and rock tones. It was the beginning of a sonic realization based in groove and free in improvisation\, yet rooted in songwriting and melodic structure. In early 2004\, on the heels of their self-titled debut album\, the band began spreading their sound to clubs around the New England area. The music\, which has since evolved into a unique blend of aggressive rock n’ roll and high-intensity organ funk (some fans have dubbed their genre ‘Runk’- a mixture of rock and funk)\, pays tribute to the masters while consistently pushing itself in new directions. Performer Magazine writer Sam Merrick described it as “a monstrous funk groove that probably would have sent Godzilla running had he been in the neighborhood.” \n \nWhile an organ-based power trio at it’s core\, Otis Grove likes to keep it spicy by frequently collaborating with other musicians. Special guests who have joined the band for performances and recordings include Oteil Burbridge\, Mr. Lif\, Melvin Sparks\, Akrobatik\, Ryan Montbleau\, Jesse Dee\, The Akashic Horns\, Garrett Sayers\, Tim Palmieri\, Amy Bellamy\, Aaron Bellamy\, Bill Carbone\, Beau Sasser\, Johnny Trama\, Danny Mayer…… and many many more. \nOtis Grove \n\n\nLizard Lounge Is 21+

SUMMARY:Soggy Po Boys and special guests The A-Beez
DESCRIPTION:Soggy Po Boys return to the Lizard Lounge October 9th at 8pm with special guests The A-Beez!\n\n\n$20 adv/$25 door \nDoors 7 \nThe Soggy Po Boys\, native to New England\, have quickly become an institution. They are spreading the good news of New Orleans music across the northeast and beyond\, playing at concert halls and street corners; music festivals and burlesque festivals; bars and libraries; wherever the party requires. Part of the beauty of New Orleans music is that it’s celebrated and appreciated wherever it goes\, from the street to the theater. \nThe Po Boys formed in 2012 to shake the walls of a local club on a Fat Tuesday but have honed their sound and become more than a Mardi Gras centerpiece. Exploring the vast musical traditions of New Orleans and expanding their repertoire to look beyond NOLA jazz\, the band includes traditional Caribbean tunes (it’s been said that New Orleans is the northernmost city in the Caribbean)\, as well as Meters funk\, soul\, and brass band / street beat music. \nThere are a myriad of traditions that flow into New Orleans culture just as there are tributaries that feed the Mississippi\, and the Po Boys are eager to explore what makes the music of New Orleans so damn special. You’ll hear the heavy influence of the New Orleans sound across the band and in the stories told by their original tunes. Despite the scope of its sound\, the outfit is only seven people\, and thrives on the interplay and group dynamics that bring this music to life. \n  \nSoggy Po Boys  \n\n\nThe A-Beez are a powerhouse collective born from Boston’s thriving soul and funk scene\, led by keyboardist Amy Bellamy and bassist Aaron Bellamy. Known for their fearless blend of soul\, funk\, R&B\, hip-hop\, and jazz\, The A-Beez deliver music that grooves hard\, feels deep\, and never stops evolving. \nLongtime creative and life partners\, Amy and Aaron began building their sound in the early 2000s as part of the Sam Kininger Band. Since then\, they’ve toured internationally\, shared stages and studio credits with a long list of musical heavyweights—including Chaka Khan\, Terri Lyne Carrington\, G. Love\, Res\, Club d’Elf\, and members of Earth\, Wind & Fire\, The Nth Power\, and Snarky Puppy. \nOver the past decade\, The A-Beez have become a cornerstone of Boston’s music community\, with a long-running residency at the legendary Wally’s Jazz Café and regular appearances up and down the East Coast. Onstage\, the group expands into a rotating ensemble of Boston’s most elite players—including vocalists\, horn sections\, and guest artists—with an unmistakable chemistry and infectious live energy. \nThe band has released three critically praised albums of original music:\nNever Going Back (2015)\nSay Goodbye (2018)\nReclamation (2021)\nEach project weaves raw lyrical honesty with deep-pocket grooves and genre-bending arrangements\, wrapped in rich\, unpolished production that favors feel over perfection. \nThe A-Beez aren’t just a band—they’re a movement of groove\, soul\, and truth. Whether on stage or in the studio\, they bring music that’s rooted\, righteous\, and ready to move you. \nThe A-Beez have been critically acclaimed as: \n“…hard thumping bass grooves\, on a mission to get every last body in motion” \n“…(Amy Bellamy’s) perfectly placed phrasings make the funk all the more delectable.” \n“…the funkiest couple on the planet.” \nThe A-Beez showcase a rotating cast of extraordinarily talented musicians in the live performances\, making each show a unique experience. Vocalists Melissa Bolling\, Debo Ray\, and Nephrok! hold down the front line\, with guitarists Lyle Brewer\, Steve Fell\, Ahren Shreeve. Drummers Peter MacLean (Maceo Parker) or Matt (Muu) Williams hold down the rhythm section\, and we also feature a host of incredible horn players including: Mike (Maz) Maher (of Snarky Puppy) Greg Blair\, Jon Bean\, Sam Kininger\, Mike Tucker\, Alex Lee Clark\, Brian Thomas\, and Trevor Kellum. \n  \nThe A-Beez

SUMMARY:Jen Kearney/HELLBENDER
DESCRIPTION:Jen Kearney and HELLBENDER live at the Lizard Lounge October 10th at 8 oclock\n\n\nMUST BE 21+ \n$20/$25 door \n7 Doors \n\n\nOriginally from Boston\, Massachusetts\, Jen Kearney has spent some time seasoning her particular style of original music. Her sound is truly an amalgamation of musical styles including Soul\, R&B\, Funk\, Rock\, and Latin. Kearney’s music and attention to lyrics and has met critical acclaim nationally and internationally. \nKearney will be celebrating the release of a full-length album called “Gas Station Poet”coming up on October 17th. She has recorded and released six studio albums and an EP. She has done session work on many other projects. Kearney is a 2 time New England Music Award nominee for soul/r&b act of the year. \nKearney tours both as a solo act and with a full band. She spent 2018-2020 living in London touring the UK/ Europe with her own act and with a 9-piece Latin band called Snowboy & the Latin Section. She has shared the stage with the likes of Maceo Parker\, Los Lobos\, Daryl Hall\, Mavis Staples\, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers\, The Derek Trucks Band and more. \n“Jen Kearney is a gifted singer who can belt out a song with the best of them. She puts a refreshing new spin on funk music with thoughtfully conceived lyrics… simply mesmerizing.” -Steve Morse (Billboard/Rolling Stone) \n“Jen Kearney is a singer-songwriter from Boston\, Massachusetts that represents the very best of what that job description signifies. She’s got a vocal style that’s full-bodied and steeped in character. And her storytelling chops and facile lyrics are off the charts.”- Eric Harabadian (Downbeat/Geoff Wilbur’s Music Blog) \nJen Kearney  \n\n\nHELLBENDER bends jazz until it snaps. Built on the raw electricity of classic fusion records like Bitches Brew\, the band channels that brand of chaos through a sharper\, more intentional compositional lens. Ambient sounds are juxtaposed with tough drum beats and a ton of mixed meters. There isn’t endless soloing for its own sake—the band has a collective sound that resonates. \nThe players are conservatory-trained musicians who grew up on classic rock riffs as much as real books. The intention is to bring precision in the music without losing the danger. Amplified jazz\, electric saxophone with guitar pedals\, aggressive grooves\, and tightly forged forms collide\, blurring the line between headbanging and deep listening. Hellbender isn’t resurrecting fusion—they are weaponizing it. \nJared Sims- electric sax/pedals\, Andrew Stern -guitar\, James Rohr-keys\, \, Rick Mcglaughlin-bass\, Randy Wooten-drums \n \nJared Sims

SUMMARY:Suitcase Junket "To Go On" Release w/Ciarra Fragale
DESCRIPTION:Suitcase Junket "To Go On" release w/special guest band Kris Delmhorst\, Ciarra Fragale\, Julia Read & Louisa Stancioff. Ciarra Fragale opens.\n\n\n$25 adv/ $30 door \nDoor 7 \n“A living\, breathing\, throat-singing\, road-tested\, avant-garde\, one-man-band who is in a state of perpetual motion… gutsy\, fuzzed-out\, groove-laden psych rock.” – NPR \n“Bluesy guitar riffs\, tenacious melodies and a singing voice both weathered and nimble. You don’t need to witness his physics-defying performance to be captivated; the music stands on its own… astonishing.” – WBUR Boston \nThe Suitcase Junket — the intriguing songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Matt Lorenz — weds the sensibilities of early blues and rock ‘n’ roll\, the improvisational spirit of jazz\, and his love of Tom Waits to meticulous\, cultured songcraft. Dubbed a “master of musical imagination” by NPR’s World Café Live and “astonishing” by WBUR Boston\, Lorenz’s weathered\, howl-flecked voice was described by Rochester City Newspaper as “a cross between Hound Dog Taylor and a Tuvan throat singer who has swallowed a bird.” \nLorenz has earned snowballing acclaim for his achingly poetic dark folk. A solitary artist with an organic yet ornate vision\, his seventh album To Go On is his most acutely profound yet.

Julia Read opens\n\n\n$25 adv/ $30 door \nDoor 7 \n“A living\, breathing\, throat-singing\, road-tested\, avant-garde\, one-man-band who is in a state of perpetual motion… gutsy\, fuzzed-out\, groove-laden psych rock.” – NPR \n“Bluesy guitar riffs\, tenacious melodies and a singing voice both weathered and nimble. You don’t need to witness his physics-defying performance to be captivated; the music stands on its own… astonishing.” – WBUR Boston \nThe Suitcase Junket — the intriguing songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Matt Lorenz — weds the sensibilities of early blues and rock ‘n’ roll\, the improvisational spirit of jazz\, and his love of Tom Waits to meticulous\, cultured songcraft. Dubbed a “master of musical imagination” by NPR’s World Café Live and “astonishing” by WBUR Boston\, Lorenz’s weathered\, howl-flecked voice was described by Rochester City Newspaper as “a cross between Hound Dog Taylor and a Tuvan throat singer who has swallowed a bird.” \nLorenz has earned snowballing acclaim for his achingly poetic dark folk. A solitary artist with an organic yet ornate vision\, his seventh album To Go On is his most acutely profound yet. Created in the wake of losing his sister\, singer-songwriter Kate Lorenz\, it’s a tender\, beautiful\, and arrestingly moving record; an internal dialogue and conversation with the departed\, enormously resonant to anyone who ever loved anyone. \nSuitcase Junket \n\n\nJulia Read is a songwriter and musician living in Western Mass.
