Minor Moon, Half Gringa, Son of Abbey
Inspired by the rooted innovativeness of contemporary artists like Wilco, Grizzly Bear, Radiohead, Bon Iver, and Gillian Welch as well as the sound and craft of older folk and folk rock musicians like Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Van Morrison, Minor Moon's soulful, complex, "americana-esque" sound strikes a unique balance between a vintage and modern sound palate, mysterious and revelatory lyrics, and a contemplative and emphatic spirit.
MON 12/12 - 8PM - $7
The Gabriel Construct, The Phantom Broadcast, Conflux
The Gabriel Construct is the avant-prog brainchild of Gabriel Lucas Riccio, a vocalist, composer, and instrumentalist from Salisbury, MD.

Jungle of Cities, Old Sap, Chyomin
Jungle of Cities - "Their sound is big, their songs are epic" - Joe Fedorco, Producer. Blasting club-style original Americana blues-tinged rock, alt-pop and gritty jangle under literate lyrics, the music consistently charts a course between appealing to a familiar American tradition and opening a fresh cut edge. A Jungle composition is full of darkness and hope, mixing poetry, anger and longing and a heady stream of haunting melody.
