Since 2004, these highly skilled musicians have been praised by the likes of Mojo Magazine, The BBC and The Guardian for their extraordinary take on American Music. Classical training blends into a love of jazz, blues and folk and is all packaged in one hell of a rock n' roll band. Their new album Balletesque explores all the aforementioned territory and at points goes beyond to something unique to the group itself. Nashville players with conservatory training and a rock n' roll heart, The Young Republic is a band not to be missed. LISTEN Putnam Smith could be an old-world troubadour fresh from the 19th Century. After all, he lives in a log cabin, plays his Grandfather's banjo, and has printed up the jackets of his new CD on a 1901 Pearl Letterpress (hand set type, pedal powered press!). Yet this rootsy multi-instrumentalist songwriter (he also plays guitar, mandolin, and piano), steeped as he is in old-time Appalachian traditions, is very much a storyteller for the modern age. With his sophomore release, "Goldrush," reaching #5 on the national Folk DJ Charts, Putnam has begun to establish himself as an acoustic tour-de-force not only in his hometown of Portland, Maine, but as a touring musician on the national folkscape as well. LISTEN Connor Garvey's songs are like placing folk-funk guitar & ukulele, soulful vocals, and paradoxical metaphors in a juicer- you've never tasted it before, but it's intriguing and delectable so you have to keep drinking. His clever rhythmic guitar and ukulele foundations provide a medium for his most prominent instrument, his voice. His songs draw the attention of the whole room with humor, daring honesty, and grace. His musical resume includes songwriter competition victories, three self-released albums, national touring, performances with the likes of Catie Curtis, Slaid Cleaves, Story Hill, Kevin So, Jonathan Byrd, & Edie Carey, plus heartfelt appreciation from living room crowds to full auditoriums.

Cassino
A Great Big Pile of Leaves
The Silver Things
|
Doors open at 7:00 PM – $10 BUY TICKETS NOW! In April 2005, Cassino was birthed from the remnants of the two principle songwriters of the Alabama rock group Northstar…an inevitably organic genesis that came to light through a creative bond that existed for numerous years between childhood friends Nick Torres and Tyler Odom. They began recording their first a…lbum in 2006 with Nashville-based producer/drummer Craig Krampf, known for his work with artists including Dolly Parton, Alabama, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Perry and Melissa Etheridge. While the record doesn’t have a specifically Nashville sound, the city did become prevalent in the making of their debut record “Sounds of Salvation,” both as a new environment to inspire songwriting, and in the cast of characters brought in by Krampf. “Salvation” was soon blessed by the contributions of E Street Band bassist Garry Tallent and legendary saxophonist Jim Horn. Released independently on March 29, 2007, “Sounds of Salvation” is the fruit of this blending of various states and sounds. LISTEN "One of the most enthralling, captivating releases of 2010, A Great Big Pile of Leaves' HYSMPC? is one of those albums that you can listen to dozens of times without ever settling on a favorite song, because they're all your favorite. It's one of those albums where you want to show it to the whole world, but you'll only show it to a select few friends because it's that good. You won't just recommend this to any old acquaintance. This album is basically equivalent to how I want my marriage to be. After my honeymoon phase with Have You Seen My Prefrontal Cortex?, I continue to love it dearly and take it to bed with me every night." LISTEN With what started as a collaboration between songwriters, TJ Piccirillo and an array of talented, childhood friends have now come into view with their new project, The Silver Things. Carrying on and branching off from the hometown success of their last band, Knock Out Kings, TJ Piccirillo and his good friend/bassist Nick Bruce decided to take some new material in a direction that they had never formally shared before, giving it the name 'the Silver Things.

Waking Nelson Arrows Over Athens
|
Doors open at 7:00 PM A three-piece progressive rock band started after taking classes together in West Hartford, CT. Members are originally from Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. The band draws from a wide range of influences and combines a new sound, challenging mainstream prog-rock. Waking Nelson hit the studio in June 2010 to record their debut EP "Machetes Up Top" with Engineer/Producer Eric Castillo. Shortly after, the band welcomed a second guitarist straight out of Miami, Florida to complete the line-up. Waking Nelson has kept busy playing the tri-state area and promoting their debut EP this summer. The last show of the summer will be a Welcome Back Home Show at The Webster Theater in Hartford, CT. Another release is scheduled to come out this winter, so keep your eyes and ears open. LISTEN |
