(of handmade moments)
& Kendra McKinley
Friday 6.13.25 - 7:30pm - Tickets
Vocalist/ multi-instrumentalist Anna Moss hails from the verdant forests and lush limestone of the Ozarks; yet her musical personality oozes New Orleans, the artist’s adopted hometown for many years. Anna’s newfound brand of sultry stripped-down-soul is steeped in Southern R&B, Americana, porch jazz; apocalyptic love songs, gritty hymns of humanity, abolition, and compassion busked to fruition in the historic French Quarter streets.
Kendra McKinley paints on her clothes and makes music for smoking weed with your bra off. She’s a conduit of connection with a voice that sounds like tuned honey, creating music that braids sensuality, levity and polish. Whether she’s casting spells with her looping pedal or fronting a dynamic band, her live show is an invitation to swerve and swoon to her yummy grooves.

MY SON
THE DOCTOR
w/ Daffodil-11
& Yabai!
Saturday 6.14.25 - 8:00pm - Tickets
My Son The Doctor began prescribing their swaggering punk sound to the Brooklyn in 2019, playing almost exclusively to the irony-poisoned crowd that dominates Brooklyn and Bushwick DIY spaces.
Finding their stride through off-kilter and playfully destructive live shows, the four-piece dropped their Sophomore extended play Taste Those Dreams during the Fall of 2021, a short and sweet release of six tracks that clocked in at just over 18 minutes.
Self-described as ‘like Spoon, but younger and hotter,’ the pent up Bushwick band has expanded upon their irreverent stream-of-conscious lyricism and tightly wound guitar performance on MESH. Called “spiky” by Brooklyn Vegan and noted for packing “four pounds of kickass into a two pound bag” by The Deli Magazine,

HUMBIRD
w/ Cricket blue
Tuesday 6.17.25 - 7:00pm - Tickets
There's something refreshingly humane about that uncertainty; about having the guts to try, even if you might be wrong. This is the central tenant of Humbird's third full-length album, Right On, a radical ethos in this soap-box age, and an effort worth turning up the amps for, resulting in the project's most electric, playful, mettled record yet.
Siri Undlin (the songwriter behind the moniker) and her collaborators tracked live and to tape over the course of two muggy weeks in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. For a collection of songs unafraid of ambiguity, it's music that bares its teeth. Anger and dismay sizzle in response to current events. Heartbreak feels like sandpaper, while wildflowers bob and sway in an ever-expanding universe.
Produced by Shane Leonard and featuring regular contributors Pat Keen (bass, synth, percussion) and Pete Quirsfeld (drums and percussion), the majority of the songs showcase the locked-in rock trio, a progression from the contemplative folk musings of Undlin's previous releases. Even so, Right On incorporates friendly winks to the more whimsical, soundscape-y improvisations that audiences have come to expect from a Humbird performance – electrified, gritty, Midwest Americana with a little magic fairy dust thrown in.

KEEP FOR CHEAP
AND
ANOTHER MICHAEL
w/ Ratland
Wednesday 6.18.25 - 8:00pm - Tickets
Keep for Cheap’s “prairie-rock” will make you feel like a kid and then break your heart without skipping a beat. On their debut album ‘Bundle’, released June 2022, the band strives to make music that moves, with driving instrumentals and poignant lyrics that beg you forward. ‘Bundle’ pines over queer love and passing youth, exalts the wonders of the natural world, and begs for connection wherever it can be made.
Another Michael’s adoration for music allows for simple sonic satisfication, but also taps into something deeper, something connective. Ultra catchy melodies delivered through inventive chord progressions, lush arrangements, & a beloved voice. Their newest record builds on this while pushing the music in unexpected directions.

Little Mazarn is a musical collaboration between friends Lindsey Verrill (songwriter, vocalist) and Jeff Johnston (saw). They live in Austin Texas.
