RUNNNER

w/ pleasure systems

& Fowl (album release!)

Friday 8.28.26 - 7:00pm - Tickets

Runnner’s sophomore full-length, A Welcome Kind of Weakness, emerged from a simultaneous tear in songwriter Noah Weinman’s body and life. Written during the months spent bedridden and healing from a torn Achilles and the drastic upheaval of a breakup, the 11 songs on this record are Weinman’s most bracing, inviting the perceived vulnerability of the album’s title willingly. But at the same time, these songs are Runnner’s most present, defiant, and self-assured, a reminder of the resolve that can come from gracefully accepting submission.

Longtime fans of Weinman’s likely fell for his signature homespun indie rock, recorded almost exclusively in bedrooms and home studios, where his poignant and self-deprecating lyrics float over beds of banjos, guitars, and reverberant horns crescendoing to cathartic peaks. But on A Welcome Kind of Weakness, Weinman soars for the first time in high fidelity. Runnner’s first studio record, it recalls the larger-than-life highs of the early aughts rock that Weinman grew up on, bands like Coldplay, Radiohead, and Snow Patrol with their pristine vocal presence, scintillating guitar riffs, and astral synth sparkle. This is rock music in its most delicious form, music that gave Weinman something to look forward to when he could finally play live again.

But as high as the sonic highs may be on A Welcome Kind of Weakness, we also see Weinman struggling gracefully with the questions that emerge from moments of physical and emotional undoing. As he sings about spackling holes in the house he shared with his ex and reckoning with a long span of physical futility, we’re reminded, too, of all the spectrums of experience we endure. We are all perpetually pulled between poles—weakness/resolve, nostalgia/presence, powerlessness/control—but it takes a certain bravery to sit in the murky middle long enough to write about it. And in his willingness to bear witness to that transitory space, Weinman seems to reassure us: You may think you won’t run again, but, given time, you might.

HONKY TONK TUESDAY

W/ MARLEY HALE

& WILD LEEK RIVER

Tuesday 9.8.26 - 8:30 pm - Tickets

Screenshot 2026-07-30 at 1.59.49 PM.png

With a beguiling voice that would feel right at home on classic country radio, Marley Hale delivers a captivating country/folk sound rooted in the refined yet adventurous musicality she’s cultivated almost her entire life. As revealed on her debut EP, By My Own Ways, to be released July 26, 2024, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter matches her timeless sensibilities and graceful musicianship with a one-of-a-kind narrative voice, endlessly merging raw truth with mesmerizing storytelling.

Born in Austin but raised in Northern California, Hale first learned to play guitar from her father at age 10 and soon began writing songs of her own. Although she grew up listening to classic-rock bands like Led Zeppelin and pop visionaries like Kate Bush and David Bowie, she later became fascinated with folk luminaries such as Karen Dalton and Bob Dylan and eventually discovered the artists she now lists among her essential touchstones, including Loretta Lynn and Gillian Welch.

Co-produced by Hale and Dylan McKinstry at Greenpoint Recording Collective, By My Own Ways presents a collection of lived-in stories capturing moments of danger and desperation and all-consuming longing, setting each track to a sound that’s rich in finespun detail. By My Own Ways encompasses everything from smoldering country-rock to piano-laced honky-tonk—ultimately lending a strangely enthralling power to Hale’s intimate meditations on self-loathing and self-acceptance. ​​​​​​​

JOE KAPLOW

Saturday 9.19.26 - 8:00pm - Tickets

Before I started my career I had a choice: to take over my parent's thoroughbred farm in New Jersey or pursue music full time in California and relinquish the farm to sale.  I still wonder what life would have looked like had I stayed, but who can resist the gold rush?  Besides, I plan to get back there one day on another farm with some other red barn.

My music comes from life’s moments -- smelling 4 acres of freshly cut grass, watching the steam from a horse's breath in the early morning, finally holding the neck of my guitar after holding bridles and worn wooden handles all day.  4000 acres of freshly burnt wildfire, watching the steam from the Pacific Ocean's breath in the early morning, finally holding the neck of my guitar after clutching the worn steering wheel of the tour van all day.

Now my reality is in Bonny Doon, CA, where mountains meet the sea. I am in my recording studio, aptly named Hippie Cowboy, every day.  Slow and steady; keep it fun, stay engaged.  All for the moment when the song finally sounds right.  My dad passed away a couple years ago -- his bullwhip is on the wall, his Harley is in the driveway. He visits me in dreams, and oh, the moment I wake up!  Sometimes I write for him. Sometimes for my mom, who I hope will move out to California soon.   Maybe she could volunteer at an equestrian center...

The Dream eaters

w/ Cady ternity

Saturday 9.19.26 - 11:00pm - Tickets

Since 2015, The Dream Eaters have evolved from a dream-pop band into a full-on video art project with an extensive catalogue of weird and darkly humorous music videos accompanying their catchy pop songs. The duo began working together after Elizabeth LeBaron, originally from Calgary, and Jake Zavracky, originally from Boston, met while bartending in Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood.

They released several EPs before their full-length albums We Are A Curse (2017) and Pagan Love (2018), touring frequently across the Eastern U.S. and Canada. In 2019, they began developing the web series The Dream Eating Freakshow — sort of like a children's show for Gen Xers and elder millennials — which launched in 2020. Since then, alongside drummer/dancer/weird guy Steve Fugitt, they’ve released hundreds of bizarre, darkly comedic videos on social media, growing a devoted cult fanbase. In 2025 they released 3 EPs and their new album Year End Report. The band continues to tour extensively across the U.S. and Canada.

DOG LIPS

Friday 9.25.26 - 8:00pm - Tickets

Hailing from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Dog Lips deliver a raw and relentless blend of punk, hard rock, and new wave. Channeling the urgency of Mission of Burma and the abrasive edge of Wipers, the band carves out a sound that’s both chaotic and controlled. Tearing through themes of warped Americana, B-movie delirium, and the absurdity of modern life, punctuated by the unrelenting drums, confrontational vocals, and sleazy riffage. The band refuses to sit still. Dog Lips are brash, unapologetic, and wired for maximum impact.

ORA COGAN

Monday 9.28.26 - 7:30pm - Tickets

Ora Cogan’s music is alchemical: part instinct, part ritual, and always conjured from the edges where life feels sharpest. With Hard Hearted Woman, she mixes haunted folk, psych rock, and a shadowy strain of country, building a realm where catharsis feels lush, mysterious and vital. Shaken by the tenor of modern life, Cogan pulled in a circle of kindred musicians and made a 

record shaped by someone who has looked into the abyss and decided, again and again, to choose curiosity.

Hard Hearted Woman grew out of a blur of cold-water plunges, long river swims, late-night ruminations with friends on art and politics, and long drives through the rural Lillooet landscape to visit her godmother. Alongside her band and guests from both the country and experimental worlds, she recorded with David Parry (Loving) at Dream Club in Victoria, B.C., as well as in her studio in Nanaimo, and remotely with Tom Deis. The result glows like something pulled from smoke and seawater — intimate, shimmering, and carved with wit as much as grief. It’s a swirling, jewel-toned ode to all the angels and the demons.

A work of devotion to mystery, to community, and to the strange power of making art in a fractured world, Hard Hearted Woman is a record about hardness and resilience; it’s the shell we grow so our most human, breakable selves can survive. Hard Hearted Woman is for anyone trying to stay open, even when the world makes that feel impossible.

BASIC

Tuesday 10.6.26 - 7:00pm - Tickets

Working with guitars, drum machine, sampler, self-built electronics, and all manner of percussion, BASIC synthesize the vast influences and distinct histories of the players, producing a boundary-less, rhythm-forward amalgam of art rock, trance jazz, collective improvisation, and humming electronics on their new eponymous full-length for No Quarter, released in June 2026.

Philadelphia’s Chris Forsyth, known for his lyrical guitar compositions and mercurial improvisations as leader of the Solar Motel Band, founded BASIC in 2022 naming the project in homage to the 1984 Robert Quine/Fred Maher album “Basic,” yes, but also to indicate a desire to get down to fundamentals rhythmically and musically. Shortly thereafter, fellow Philly denizen Mikel Patrick Avery, whose subtle and propulsive drumming has provided the pulse for Natural Information Society, Marshall Allen’s Ghost Horizons, and Rob Mazurek’s Exploding Star Orchestra (amongst other projects), joined, bringing his unique combination of programed beats and acoustic percussion - a single drum with a metallic bell affixed and a variety of hand percussion run through a self-devised barrage of electronic processors and tonal filters (many controlled in real-time with touch pads) - to BASIC. Chicago stalwart Douglas McCombs came on board in late 2024 to tour their debut record “This Is BASIC,” thereby solidifying the lineup and expanding the group’s sound. As often heard in his work with Tortoise and Brokeback, McCombs’ playing in BASIC combines a mastery of musical negative space with memorable lines on Fender Bass VI, a six-string instrument with a distinctive twang tuned an octave below a standard guitar, allowing McCombs to function as both bassist and guitarist.

“Basic” inhales all the music that modernity's global connectivity (our blessing and our curse) allows us, tapping Tuareg rhythms here, angular guitar heroics there, scratchy funk, dubby low end shudder and Highlife-y rhythmic percolation everywhere. There's a fresh, intoxicating looseness to BASIC that further develops the great nocturnal guitar-nerd explorations of their debut LP, best exemplified by the ethereal flute & mutating samples of ""Index of Memories,"" the multifaceted interplay between drum loops and overdubbed acoustic guitar on ""Premonition,"" and the keening delay feedback filling up cracks throughout. Adding dimension and texture, BASIC is joined on four tracks by the young Philly double bassist (and frequent collaborator of Forsyth’s and Avery’s) John Moran, known for his work in Victor Vieira-Branco’s Bark Culture and the Daniel Villareal Trio.

BASIC’s “Basic” concept is groove-based, full of space and sonic fields both evocatively ancient and bracingly contemporary. It is a truly collective product, balancing individual expression with surrender to the group. On “Basic” the result is entrancing and, if not “non-idiomatic” then something approaching pan-idiomatic.

Most exciting, perhaps, is the potential for a new renaissance of electro-acoustic groove music that fuses non-Western rhythmic boil with acid-psych moves and funky harmolodics that electrify both the body and the deepest neural pathways, and plays with the boundaries between art, technology and boogie.

JASON DEA WEST

Wednesday 10.7.26 - 7:00pm - Tickets

Jason Dea West is a seasoned American troubadour who sings what he lives and lives what he sings.

His latest album, Louella, promises a journey through different soundscapes sure to leave you bumping the volume up with each track. Much like the many states Jason traverses, these songs have their own characteristic feel, and this record takes you through the dusty forgotten pastures of rural Wisconsin, the banks of the Mississippi River, through the windy small town streets of Wyoming, down to the sun soaked Arizona deserts, and up to the forested mountains of Northern California. A true American troubadour, it seems Jason Dea West has culminated his life’s journey into this record.
 
Decades have passed since the days of his punk youth, studded jackets and sweaty midwest basement shows, but Louella folds time and space to bring life back to these dormant roots of his. Blending Blues, Folk and Americana into an energetic sound that throws a mean buck, with lyrical lines and melodies that echo something familiar but yet to be known. Louella offers a deeply satisfying listen, and serves as a window into the unique and winding road that has carried this determined traveler through the many phases of his musical journey. The imagery conveyed in his songwriting delivers with a clear simplicity that could not be pared down, while also not holding anything back. It’s rough and raw but also tender and sincere, and shines with a quality that comes not by rag and polish, but the heavy patina of time.

THE SUITCASE JUNKET

Sunday 11.15.26 - 7:00pm - Tickets

“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

“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

The Suitcase Junket — the touring project of the artist Matt Lorenz — developed in the tension between the grand and the solitary. Grand in imagery, sound, and staging. Solitary in thrift and self-reliance. NPR calls Lorenz a “master of musical imagination.” What instruments he requires, Lorenz builds from scratch and salvage. What parts five players would perform, he performs alone. The spectacle of the one-man show bears comparison to legends of showmanship, brilliance, madness, and invention. While audiences are captivated by that solitary form and the show itself, Lorenz, who homesteads in Western Massachusetts, is most serious about the songs. The world he writes into existence is crowded with characters, narratives, voices, imagery, sounds as wide and varied as mountain throat singers and roadhouse juke boxes, plus newsreels of the planet’s destruction and salvage. Lorenz’ most recent album The End is New was released at Renew Records / BMG. He is in the studio this winter, recording toward a new release.

Aggressively prolific, Handy has amassed an extensive catalogue that is both eccentric and earnest. His music channels a sense of creative exploration, and his lyrics pack real wisdom into unassuming one-liners.
