SUMMARY:Kotoko Brass with Special Guest Boubacar Diabate
DESCRIPTION:Kotoko Brass brings the party back to the Lizard Lounge with Boubacar Diabate!\n\n\nEVENT IS 21+ \n$18/22 \n \nKotoko Brass melds the beautifully complex traditional drumming of Central Ghana\, the sturdy bass and keyboards of the Caribbean\, and the joyous horns of New Orleans to forge a sound the Boston Globe has described as “propulsive\, infectious party music.” The band began when brothers Ben\, a performer\, scholar\, and educator of Ghanaian drumming\, and Brian Paulding\, a longtime trombone player in Boston’s reggae scene\, joined forces. Ben fortified the percussion section with Attah Poku and Kwame Ofori\, two master percussionists from Ghana. The rhythm section of M’talewa Thomas (bass)\, Dillon Zahner (guitar)\, Yusaku Yoshimura (keyboards)\, and saxophonist Andy Bergman\, fill out veteran rhythm and horn sections. \n \nComing together as Kotoko Brass feels like a superpower. When the traditional Ghanaian percussion and driving drum set grooves meet the steady rhythm section and jubilant horn melodies\, we can’t help but dance. Now\, after over a year of sharing our sound and energy with audiences across New England\, we have seen just how infectious this energy is. \n \nWhile each member plays an equal and vital role in Kotoko Brass\, the drums are at the heart of the band. The tradition of Asante drumming is intimately intertwined with dance in West Africa\, and our audiences experience that first-hand. That instinctual link between drumming and dancing exists in nearly all indigenous traditions\, and it informs the harmony and melody in all of our music. \n \nAt its core\, our music is a celebration of tradition\, diversity\, and unity. While our compositions are influenced by and emerge from the rich culture and heritage of the Asante Kingdom of central Ghana\, they are brought to life by a group that spans age\, ethnicity\, and nationality. The wealth of our varied musical experience serves not only as an endless well of inspiration\, but as a vital opportunity to broaden the depths of our communication as humans.Kotoko Brass \n\n\nGriot singer\, guitarist\, drummer\, songwriter and storyteller Boubacar Diabate from Bamako\, Mali comes from the Mande lineage and has combined traditional rhythms with modern influences to create his own style of contemporary Malian Griot music presenting his own compositions and arrangements. Singing in Bambara and Manding\, Boubacar Diabate creates a performance that spans the full spectrum of Traditional to Contemporary Malian music from West Africa combined with Blues\, Jazz\, Reggae and Bluegrass – Bouba sings of our common shared experience of love\, life and humanity\, giving all an opportunity to hear the age-old West African tradition of Griot storytelling through song.

SUMMARY:The Collect Pond/Perennial/Battlemode
DESCRIPTION:The Collect Pond and Perennial get together to rock the Lizard Lounge\n\n\nThe Collect Pond is a Boston group led by Bellingham\, Washington native Danny Moffat. Underwater Features is the second Collect Pond album\, but the first Moffat has made with a full-time band (bassist/keyboardist Roger Maranan\, drummer Rob Carrington\, and guitarist/bassist Ben Bonadies). Moffat is a clear aficionado of underground and lo-fi indie rock of many eras: 2023 album Underwater Features is clearly influenced by 90s indie underdog popsters like Guided by Voices and Sebadoh (putting them in line with modern groups like Connections\, Mythical Motors\, and Smug Brothers)\, while also retaining a post-punk edge in places and a haziness evoking a few Flying Nun and Xpressway groups. – Rosy Overdrive\, 2023 \nhttps://candlepinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/underwater-features \n\n\nPerennial is an art punk three-piece from New England. \nThe band’s sound – built from the sharp minimalism of electric organ\, guitar & drums – is a kinetic collage of mod pop\, 90s post-hardcore\, post-bop jazz\, 60s soul\, and British Invasion garage rock. Their live sets are quick\, angular\, and ferocious: 20 minute bursts of wild energy.

SUMMARY:Dub Apocalypse
DESCRIPTION:Dub Apocolypse returns to the Lizard Lounge!\n\n\n   Dub Apocalypse is an instrumental dub reggae band from Boston\, MA. Band members are Tommy Benedetti-drums\,Van Martin-guitar\,Johnny Trama-guitar\,Aaron Bellamy-bass\,and Timo Shanko-sax/bass.  The band came together in 2007\, led by drummer Tommy Benedetti and guitarist\, Johnny Trama.Tommy Benedetti is one of the founding members of American Reggae Pioneers\,John Brown’s Body. He brings a wealth of experience from the reggae/dub scene to the table\,having recorded albums for the legendary Shanachie Label\,John Zorn’s Tzadik Label (mixed by Bill Laswell)\,and is currently with John Brown’s Body on Easy Star Records.  This history is combined with almost 2 decades of International touring\,as well as backing some of the giants of Jamaican music\,including The Meditations and Justin Hinds. \n    Guitarist Johnny Trama adds a soulful blues touch to the Dub Apocalypse signature sound.Trama has spent time on the road with the great Ron Levy\, BB King’s organ player\, as well as many other regional rock and soul/r&b acts.  Not long after Dub Apocalypse came together\, longtime friend Timo Shanko entered the fold.A dual threat on both bass and saxophone\,Shanko is a veteran of the blues and free jazz scene.He spent many years on the road with Blues legend\, Eddie Kirkland\, as well as with G. Love and Special Sauce. Shanko is also a prolific composer\,and his improvisational stylings are an integral part of the Dub Apocalypse sound. Although DA started out as more of a collective\,in the past few years the lineup has solidified with the addition of bassist Aaron Bellamy and guitarist Van Martin. Bellamy is a longtime fixture in the Boston funk scene\,and in combination with Benedetti \,they form the deep\,militant sound at the core of Dub Apocalypse. \n    Originally hailing from Chicago\,Van Martin rounds out the lineup on guitar. Martin has much touring experience as well\, including appearances with Bernie Worrell and Big Daddy Kane. His sonic textures\,adventurous playing and songwriting have helped Dub Apocalypse take their sound to a new level. The DA sound is an evolving mix of original compositions and their own interpretations of classic Jamaican and UK songs and dub plates. Heavy hitting drum and bass grooves set the table. A twin guitar attack\, with Trama’s rhythmic anchor\,and Martin’s dub sonics\, swirl in and out in tandem. These pieces\, combined with Timo Shanko’s Coltrane inspired sax approach\, give Dub Apocalypse a

SUMMARY:Four Piece Suit/Fran McConville Trio with special guest Christina Lacoste
DESCRIPTION:Four Piece Suit\, Fran McConville and Christina Lacoste converge for a show at the Lizard Lounge!\n\n\nFour Piece Suit is “a highball of sea-foam-soaked guitar and squalling tenor sax\, shaken—not stirred—with surf tangos\, Battista-era mambos\, beach blanket boppers\, spy music\, crime jazz\, and movie themes.” The predominantly instrumental group brings humor\, romance and a pulsing rhythm to the category-defying range musical styles they reinvent. Heard on soundtracks for Sex and the City and Dexter\, Four Piece Suit puts on a sizzling live show. \nThe band is: Milt Reder on guitar\, John Aruda on sax\, Dean Cassell on bass and Seth Pappas on drums. For more on 4PS\, please visit www.fourpiecesuit.com. Truly beyond category\, their eclectic instrumental\, sometimes jazz\, sometimes rock style\, brings forth a unique blend of long forgotten musical influences and often suggests a certain film noir feeling. \nThe sexy\, sophisticated\, yet tongue-in-cheek music of FOUR PIECE SUIT is frequently featured on the highly acclaimed HBO series Sex and the City\, Telemundo\, NBC’s Ed\, Dexter on CBS\, and cable shows such as Keeping Up with the Kardashians\, America’s Top Model\, Run’s House\, and many others. Film work includes Our Lips are Sealed (Olsen Twins)\, In the Weeds (Molly Ringwald)\, Stag (HBO films)\, Psycho Beach Party\, Along Came Polly (Jennifer Aniston)\, and others. \nThe band has also been heard in many independent films\, including Sundance Festival Winner Blue Vinyl. They have also done a full score for an HBO claymation film\, Real Men Wear Hawaiian Shirts\, an award winner at the San Francisco Film Festival. \nLike many of the greatest bands\, only at a live show can one really “get” what FOUR PIECE SUIT is all about… \nhttps://fourpiecesuitband.com \n\n\nThe Fran McConville Trio plays an eclectic\, cosmic blend of instrumental rock\, groove & reggae music. We like to get weird and play in odd time signatures\, go to outer space\, and come back again. Members of the FMT have played with Lions At The Gate\, Lady Lupine\, Ethan Rossiter Band\, Sonya Rae Taylor\, and others! \n \nSome artists that have had a big influence are The Beatles\, Miles Davis\, Jimi Hendrix\, John Scofield\, Jeff Beck\, Jerry Garcia\, Bela Fleck\, & MMW.

SUMMARY:Christopher Paul Stelling with Special Guest Youth in a Roman Field
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Paul Stelling returns to the Lizard Lounge with Youth in a Roman Field!\n\n\nEven before 2020 slid historically off the rails\, Christopher Paul Stelling confronted an essential exercise in acceptance and gratitude. In December 2019\, Stelling started another cross-country sprint from California to Florida\, where the songwriter who has long called western North Carolina home was raised. Aside from recording his fifth album\, Best of Luck\, he had toured much of that year\, making relentless laps around North America. He wanted to make it home not only for Christmas but also to see Emma\, his 92-year-old grandmother. He didn’t; she passed just days before he arrived. Recorded alone in her modest white ranch house in Daytona Beach\, Forgiving It All—Stelling’s wisest\, most intimate\, and most settled record yet\, and his first self-released LP in eight years—feels like a final tribute to her and to everything he and we have lost or gained. \n \nLast year seemed to brim with transformational potential for Stelling. For the better part of a decade\, he had been a feverish and itinerant troubadour\, spilling guts and blood and sweat in soul-scraping solo sets. He’d lived up the lifestyle\, too\, hydrating for the stage with booze. But at the end of 2017\, he’d gone sober after recognizing that chunks of his life had disappeared. Recorded a year later\, Best of Luck—his third album for Anti- and the first he’d cut with a producer\, Ben Harper—seemed poised to push him to new audiences\, its mix of wistful acoustic ballads and stomp-around-the-room rock somehow both polished and primal. The shows were piling up\, so much so that Stelling planned to have barely one day off in all of 2020. \n \nAnd then\, of course\, all that was scrapped. The news closed in around him as he toured north along the West Coast. He turned east and got as far as Colorado\, then had a panic attack in a Kansas truck stop\, wrestling with existential and professional despair as the world wobbled on its axis. Stelling came home and\, like many of us\, worked to shape a new routine in a world that was instantly alien. So for the first time in years\, he spent days on end with his partner\, Julia\, and their bounding young dog\, Ida. He hiked\, read\, and watched endless television to placate overwhelming anxiety as best he could. Having fulfilled his label contract (and convinced he didn’t want a new one\, anyway)\, Stelling launched a crowdfunding campaign\, asking if fans felt compelled to invest in his songs. They said yes—he sold more records in those first 48 hours than he’d ever sold in advance before. \n \nStelling began at last to unpack a decade into which he had packed so much. What had music taught him that life had not\, and vice versa? What did he have to sing about all that he had seen? The spellbinding 10 tracks of Forgiving It All represent the profound distillates of that reflection. Committed to tape in Emma’s home a year after Stelling cut his intended never-ending tour short\, these songs are the lessons of a once-wild kid looking at (not quite) 40\, expressing acceptance for the struggles and joys of life and singing out his gratitude for still being here. Opener “Die To Know” is a tender ode to innocence\, a remembrance of simple joy and sincerity before experience and age dulled our enthusiasms. “Wildfire\,” which moves with the ineffable grace of ripples on some idyllic pond\, stares down accreted adult fears and begs for the mercy of rebirth. \n \n“WWYLLYD” presents an exercise in radical empathy\, apt for our universally troubled times. “Remember\, everyone is suffering/not just you\,” Stelling pleas over strummed chords that rush like blood. The title is an acronym for “When What You Love Lets You Down.” We’re all starving artists\, it suggests\, but that’s what keeps us going\, interested\, and\, if we’re lucky\, alive. \n \nTo some extent\, these songs are about letting yourself off the hook\, about accepting your imperfections even as you deal with them. But title track “Forgiving It All\,” as mesmerizing and motivational as a religious mantra\, admits that we don’t bear responsibility for all of our baggage\, that others have played a part. If we’re going to reckon with ourselves\, Stelling says\, we have to encourage others to do the same\, to share in this catharsis. “Let the doubtful confide in you\,” he sings near the start\, opening what may feel like the most candid therapy session you’ve ever encountered. Stelling—truth be told\, a marquee fingerpicker who’s never been content to make purely wordless music—pauses for the gorgeous instrumental “For Your Drive\,” then ends with a hymn of his own\, “They’ll All Proclaim.” It is a gracious\, gorgeous aubade for what comes after—tomorrow\, post-pandemic\, whenever. \n \nWe will wrestle for our lifetimes with what happened in 2020 and what may follow. Forgiving It All is an instinctual and honest response to trying to make the best of it: sorting through the past and using the present to prepare for an unwritten future. These songs remind us we’re lucky to be here\, no matter what or who it is we have to forgive. \n$20/25at the door \n\n\nYouth in a Roman Field is the surrealist folk project of artist\, teacher\, and activist Claire Wellin. The band’s progressive sound (described as a combination of ‘Appalachia\, cayenne pepper\, and ghosts’ and ‘like Radiohead but also folk music’) is reflected in their inventive recordings and endearing live performances. Weaving string loops with soaring violin melodies and dynamic vocals\, Claire’s solo show is part singer-songwriter\, part one-woman orchestra\, offering an intimate translation of their unique songs. Their latest album\, ‘Get Caught Trying\,’ was released November 2023 via Better Company Records and explores self-worth\, power\, loss of faith\, care\, and collective healing. \n \nhttps://www.youthinaromanfield.com/

SUMMARY:Lydia Luce with Special Guest Lake Saint Daniel
DESCRIPTION:Lydia Luce live at the Lizard Lounge with special guest Lake Saint Daniel!\n\n\nEVENT IS 21+$15/$18 door \nOn her new album Florida Girl\, Lydia Luce offers up a body of work graced with all the transformative beauty of watercolor\, at turns delicate\, dreamlike\, and instantly potent in its emotional realism. The second full-length from the Fort Lauderdale-born singer/songwriter\, Florida Girl matches its luminous form of indie-folk with an in-depth examination of Luce’s inner life\, exploring everything from mortality to body image to the ineffable intricacy of human connection. As she bares her soul and unburdens her heart\, Luce slowly embraces her own infinite complexity—ultimately arriving at the self-possessed state of mind that inspired the album’s title.  \nFor follow-up to her 2021 acclaimed debut Dark River\, Luce joined forces with her longtime friends and bandmates Anthony da Costa (Joy Williams and Michaela Anne) and Aaron Steele (Joy Oladokun\, Portugal. The Man) to deliver her most intuitively realized and imaginatively composed work to date.  \nLuce grew up in a strict musical household where her mother was a professional conductor and did not present learning the violin as a choice. After graduating from Berklee College of Music\, she briefly worked at world-music label Smithsonian Folkways Records\, before relocating to Nashville and establishing herself as an in-demand session musician playing viola/violin for legends like Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson and hip-hop superstar Eminem. Luce also founded Lockeland Strings—a community arts organization and showcase of local artists (which included country superstar Kacey Musgraves) accompanied by string quartet arrangements. \nhttps://www.lydialuce.com/ \n\n\nLake Saint Daniel is the project of artist/producer Daniel Radin (Future Teens). Growing up in Massachusetts\, his dad would play James Taylor every night while making dinner and Daniel couldn’t stand it. However after years of making emo-influenced power pop with his band Future Teens\, Daniel’s inherited love of gentle melodies began to peak through the cracks of his work. This eventually led to Good Things\, Lake Saint Daniel’s debut\, a record about nostalgia\, sentimentality and reckoning with growing older. \nLake Saint Daniel

SUMMARY:Glenn Yoder and the Western States/Dan Blakeslee
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Yoder and the Western States return to the Lizard Lounge with Dan Blakeslee!\n\n\nMUST BE 21+ \n$15/20 door \n\n\nIt’s been six years since we released the last Glenn Yoder & The Western States album. Suffice to say\, much has happened.  \n \nLove\, marriage\, had a kid\, pandemic\, moved far away\, settled in\, had another kid\, moved even farther away. Through it all\, the unsettling sense that the world is on fire or on the verge of it\, at least.  \n \nSo I wrote about it\, about this bizarre\, transformative block of time — the overwhelming joy of love and children\, of course\, but also the anxieties and adjustments that come with those precious responsibilities\, particularly in this climate. About giving up one version of ourselves in order to become another.  \n \nThere were many moments when I sincerely doubted that this record would ever be completed\, that I’d ever finish writing it or we’d ever get to recording it\, but I also think that that additional time made this perhaps our most considered record to date. It’s a document of our conversations and hopes and concerns and feelings that I may have otherwise lost to time\, so I’m glad that I have it at least. I hope you get something out of it too. \n \nAs always\, my love and appreciation to my beloved band: Jeff\, JMC\, Chris\, Brooks and our unofficial sixth member\, Dave. I am so fortunate to have had them play and work on my songs for all these years. It was also important to me to have Cilla’s beautiful voice return for this album\, and I am so happy we made it happen. This record really reflects my strongest musical bonds — put simply: it sounds like us.  \n \nThank you for listening\, and I hope you enjoy it!! \n \n\n\nWhile attending art school in Baltimore Maryland in the early 90’s Dan Blakeslee\, a Maine native discovered that he had an equal and deeply rooted connection to music. He would sneak into the galleries to play his guitar through the late hours of the evening surrounded by easels and oil paintings. After four years in “Charm City\,” he returned to his childhood home in the Tatnic Woods of South Berwick\, ME. That summer he played street corners in New Hampshire and Maine while working at a lobster restaurant. His employer urged him to sever ties to manual labor for one of a more musical nature. A phone call from a friend offering him a room in Somerville\, MA began his journey south in 1995. While settling into this artful community he began to practice his craft in the smoke-laden subways of Boston. He now has been making music and art in the New England region ever since\, leading him to tour the U.S. He has performed with Langhorne Slim\, Josh Ritter\, David Wax Museum\, Lydia Loveless\, The Lumineers\, Deer Tick\, The Low Anthem\, Brown Bird\, Sean Rowe\, Jonah Tolchin\, Old 97’s\, Death Vessel\, Kimya Dawson among others. In 2015 his dream of playing Newport Folk Festival became a reality\, where Bob Dylan went electric 50 years earlier. \nThe hills and highways are made for wandering\, this is forever rooted in Dan Blakeslee who performs an average of 160+ shows per year. In a gymnasium at Laconia Prison (NH) in 2005\, a crowd of 150 inmates became hushed after hearing Blakeslee’s songs of hardship\, hope\, and true grit later released as a live album. In the late winter of 2006 brought him a string of 27 shows with Tiger Saw (Dylan Metrano\, Alan Bull\, Angel Deradoorian (Dirty Projectors)) to the southern US and straight up the Mississippi River igniting his passion to continue on this path for the years to come. In June of 2012 upon returning from the 120-mile journey by foot on the Massachusetts Walking Tour Blakeslee mapped out a tour of a different shape slated for the fall of that year. This venture spanned 7 states\, with Blakeslee performing 31 shows in 25 days as his Halloween alter ego “Doctor Gasp” making a connect the dots Jack-O-Lantern face on a map of New England. 2013 brought him to Austin\, TX in March for SXSW followed by a tour with his band “The Calabash Club” in late June of that year. \nBlakeslee has released ten full-length albums to date. Two of them were recorded by long-time art school friend Ron Harrity (Peapod Recordings) the first “Lincoln Street Roughs” was recorded in a warehouse called The Map Room in Portland\, Maine in 2007. The next was “Tatnic Tales” released on May 10\, 2011. It is a collection of Blakeslee’s country folk songs most stemming from real life experiences. This album features his band The Calabash Club who formed in a Dover\, NH basement in October of 2008. The members: Mike Effenberger – piano\, Nick Phaneuf – bass\, and Jim Rudolf – drums; are the essential ingredients in this acoustic folk outfit. “Tatnic Tales” was recorded in Dean Ludington’s barn in North Berwick\, ME by the railroad as the friendship between the members of the band bloomed. “Tatnic Tales” is the first full-length album the band has recorded together to date. Blakeslee’s following album “Owed To The Tanglin’ Wind” was recorded at the Columbus Theatre in Providence\, RI by Ben Knox Miller and Jeffrey Prystowsky (The Low Anthem). It was released on August 19th\, 2014 with which Blakeslee did extensive touring in 2015. This album received “Album Of The Year” from Red Line Roots. Blakeslee was also awarded 2014 “Folk Artist Of The Year” at the Boston Music Awards\, and “Male Performer of The Year” at the 2015 New England Music Awards. After a pause between full-band records his long awaited album “The Alley Walker” recorded by studio wizard Chris Chase (The Noise Floor) featuring his band The Calabash Club came out in 2017 to much acclaim. After touring the US a couple of times and much journeying it was time to get back in the studio. Blakeslee had been dreaming of making a full-length Christmas album for over a decade inspired by his retro music collection. So on a cold winter night in 2019 Blakeslee stepped into the studio for the first session of “Christmasland Jubilee”. This full-length album by Dan Blakeslee and the Calabash Club was revealed on December 1\, 2020\, and is their third release together. \nhttps://danblakeslee.com/

SUMMARY:Girl With a Hawk/Magen Tracy/Exit 18
DESCRIPTION:Girl With a Hawk return to the Lizard Lounge with Magen Tracy  and Exit 18\n\n\nMUST BE 21+ \n\n\nGirl with a Hawk is an American band formed in 2021. Fronted by singer/songwriter Linda Viens\, the band includes Boston rock legends Richard Lamphear on keys\, Dan Coughlin on guitar\, Nancy Delaney on drums\, and Daniel Bernfeld on bass. Described as “gorgeously emotive indie rock with Americana\, garage\, and punk roots\, the band channels influences such as Tom Petty\, The Pretenders\, Wilco and the Velvet Underground into a sound all their own: melodic\, rich and 100% rock.” The band’s latest single\, The Romantic\, put out on the seminal label Red on Red Records\, has held steady in the #1\,2\, and 3 spot on Indie Radio Stations across the US and the UK since its release on May 12. Stay tuned: Girl with a Hawk releases their first five song EP on December 8\, 2023!  \nGirl with a Hawk  \n\n\nWith a catalog that ranges from pop effervescence to alt-country grit—with plenty of rock in between—Magen Tracy & the Missed Connections are a Boston-area favorite known for earworm\, melodies\, sharp lyrical play\, and fun\, often mischievous live shows. Led by songwriter Tracy\, a three-time Boston Music Award nominee\, the band’s piano-driven songs\, tight harmonies\, and feminist edge take inspiration from acts like Jenny Lewis\, Brandi Carlile\, and Fleetwood Mac—all backed by a top-notch band that includes Stud Green on violin and guitar\, Tamora Gooding on drums\, Mike Oram on guitar\, and Sam Spencer on bass. Tracy (keys\, guitar) has also played in other notable acts\, including Letters to Cleo\, Kay Hanley\, Juliana Hatfield\, and Band of Their Own.

SUMMARY:Soggy Po Boys w/The Acoustic Nomads
DESCRIPTION:Soggy Po Boys bring the patty back to the Lizard with the Acoustic Nomads\n\n\nAlthough New Hampshire isn’t the most obvious home for a group so devoted to the culture of The Big Easy\, the Soggy Po’ Boys seem genuine in their ambition to spread the word about jazz New Orleans style\, and they’re creating an accessible and fun way into this world.” \n-London Jazz News \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. “…These guys have done their homework\, worked it out on the bandstand and put in the hours in the studio. It all adds up to a party you can bring with you when you want to treat your friends to a real good time.” -Ben Schenck of New Orleans’ Panorama Jazz Band”.There 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. \nhttps://www.soggypoboys.com/ \n\n\nBorn in the heart of New England\, Acoustic Nomads is a band of rising stars that embark on a musical odyssey that transcends genres\, weaving together jazz\, newgrass\, and folkloric traditions from the rich tapestry of the Americas. Their music expresses all the colors and flavors of the Pan-American experience\, and their unique sound is a result of the players harnessing their varied musical interests and joyously exploring uncharted musical territory together. \nTheir performances maintain the truest spirit of folkloric music whilst delving into modern jazz improvisation and sophisticated chamber music arrangements. Acoustic Nomads are artistic ambassadors on a mission to exhibit the beauty and unity within the vast array of American musical traditions\, creating curious\, compassionate\, and open-minded music fans the world over. \nhttps://www.acousticnomadsband.com/
