The Dirty Grass Players and The Sweet Lillies come to 10 Forward!The Sweet LilliesThe Sweet Lillies' music is, first and foremost, heartfelt and collaborative. Those defining traits are given life by the trio of musicians who make up the Lillies, Julie Gussaroff, Becca Bisque, and Dustin Rohleder, who have combined their individual strengths together to deliver powerful narratives of life in song. With their acoustic string-band lineup of guitar, viola, and upright bass given flight by ethereal, vocal harmonies that float like a dream, the Sweet Lillies' music has an old-time soul with a forward-looking eye. The Sweet Lillies have incorporated all of their cumulative life-experiences into their music, their song-writing, and their artistry, crafting an uncommonly-beautiful style they have christened String-Americana - a nod to the band’s all encompassing musical tastes and willingness to experiment with genres. As Gussaroff explains, “Some musicians learn from teachers, some learn from family members, and some are self taught. Some musicians are classically trained, some come up through folk, some draw from multiple springs, from hip hop through pop to bebop. In the Lillies' all of these skill sets are valuable, relevant, and appreciated.” The Sweet Lillies are built upon their collaborative ideals…

A night of experimental/improv from various heavy hitters around the northeast.Neonach is an experimental duo from western MA. Their sound has been described as "ambient, dream murmur and tranced out hypno-drone". Low rumbled tones are blanketed with swirling, lush whispers and chants while sporadic swells and screams reach their highest sonic tiers. www.neonach.comHissquiet uses glistening tones and dark ambience to blur the lines between comfort and chaos. They are constantly perfecting a style that can be akin to early ambient Aphex Twin, Tim Hecker, or Godspeed You! Black Emperor.www.hissquiet.bandcamp.comid m theft able performs within and without the realms of noise, avant-improvisation, sound poetry, performance, using voice, found objects, electronics, and whatever else is available……http://kraag.org/Dei Xhrist’s voice, now her dominating instrument, has been favorably compared to Diamanda Galas. She uses glossolalia, concrete poetry, American primitive, and belle voce with a graceful stage presence that has been known to evolve in to a physical assault past the fourth wall.https://deixhrist.wordpress.com/

A night of rock 'n roll fuzz and scuzz featuring Johnnie & The Foodmasters, Bridge of Flowers, and Ian St. GeorgeA night of rock 'n roll fuzz and scuzz featuring.....Johnnie & The Foodmasters (On Tour)Johnnie & The Foodmasters is Boston's wildest oldies cover band. Formed as a trio in 2015 at the infamous Allston Speed Trials outdoor festival, the Foodmasters quickly evolved into their current six piece lineup known locally for their improbable yin and yang of pop perfection and shambolic noise. The Foodmasters put their spin on Stax, Sun, and Motown classics alongside frenzied '60s garage rock. The result is immaculately messy, but plain old fun. The Foodmasters always strive to create a one of a kind experience and are beyond excited to charm the Northeast whilst on tour in April! https://johnnieandthefoodmasters.bandcamp.com/Bridge of Flowers Western Mass rock 'n roll quartet with releases on Feeding Tube Records and ESP Disk. B o F have gotten the Velvets comparison early and often, but this group absorbs a wide range of modern psychedelia and punk skronk. The resulting palette is both obscure and familiar. Nod your head and freakout!https://bridgeofflowersesp.bandcamp.com/Ian St. GeorgeIan St. George is a fuzz pop artist from Northampton. After a…

Following their 2018 LP Saving A Beauty (Five Kill Records) comes a fresh single - True Blue - where candid, autobiographical tales dance among a wealth of imaginary characters. The trio brings their propulsive folk influenced sound to improvisatory heights in live settings - the product of countless years moving sound.InstagramTwitterFacebookLinktreeWebsiteJoan KelseyJoan Kelsey is a musician and writer living in Seattle.

Join us for a night of music with Colby Nathan, Thérèse, Thee Holy Oaks, & Lamb Hock!Colby Nathan is a recording and performing artist from Southern Maine. Over the years, he has been seen fronting bizarro noise rock outfit, (New England) Patriots, providing lead guitar and backing vocals with Clay Camero, or deconstructing holiday tropes as Experimental Santa. Nathan’s solo performances are used to bring the music of his recording project, Dimples, into the public sphere using soundtracked projections, textural loops, intentional lighting, toys and knick knacks, and the occasional surprise outfit change. Nathan’s performances fluctuate between heart on sleeve sentimentality and surreal humor. “Dimples’ Soul Chateau” was released on LP and cassette June 2022 on Feeding Tube Records and Nathan’s own Laughable Recordings.THÉRÈSE is a project from Alicante/Madrid, Spain.The name comes from a painting by Balthus (Thérèse, 1938), and from the curious similarities between those personalities that are intuited: disproportionate, and extreme, and irritating, but no. Using autoharp, piano, guitar, and ukulele, Thérèse offers songs and shares unique new worlds.8pm, $10-$20 sliding scale (notaflof), masks appreciated!

Honestly, some of the most open-hearted songwriting I’ve heard in a long time.” - NPR Music“So where, exactly, are we giong with this? It’s a question you can’t shake from your mind when you first listen to Frank Hurricane’s hazy Appalachian folk album Life is Spiritual. As you attempt to decipher his off-kilter musings, it eventually becomes clear – you just have to let go. This isn’t a maddening situation, but rather freeing, actually, as you ride shotgun with Hurricane through his whimsical psychedelic trip. And at times, that can get pretty strange man.” - Washington Post“Frank’s a seer and a singer, a poet laureate of the rusted underbelly of America, rust I often found myself scratched on growing up. He finds transcendence in the asphalt of Tennessee’s most scorched country – giving a reverent…
