SUMMARY:Dogs in a Pile at The Madison Theater
DESCRIPTION:The sandy shores of Asbury Park\, New Jersey are hallowed ground in the Northeast; the rolling waves have ushered generations of venerated musicians to worldwide acclaim. Dogs In A Pile\, an eclectic quintet\, has emerged as the heir apparent to the town’s rich musical legacy. Merging funk\, jazz\, and rock and roll with psychedelia\, the band presents a completely original vibe built on kaleidoscopic soundscapes eerily reminiscent of the days of yesteryear. \nThe Dogs employ a unified approach to performance and songwriting\, crafting aural mosaics through adept instrumentation and humble precocity. As avid storytellers\, they draw inspiration from personal experiences\, balancing life’s foibles with ever-present youthful sanguinity. \nDogs formed when Jersey Shore native and guitar gun-slinger Jimmy Law began playing with family friend Joe Babick (drums) at a young age. Lightning struck when they were introduced to Berklee School of Music student and bass player Sam Lucid\, who immediately suggested fellow Berklee student and keyboard player Jeremy Kaplan. The addition of Berklee student Brian Murray (guitar) in 2019 made for the quintessential final piece in the Dogs’ puzzle. \nA string of sold-out local shows drove the development of a massive Northeast fan base\, affectionately known as the Dog Pound. As the band has traversed new territory\, their astronomical rise has continued nationwide. Armed with an evolving catalog of material and cultivation of an identity unique to Dogs In A Pile\, the quintet is laying down a musical and communal foundation most often associated with the scene’s most beloved acts.

SUMMARY:Hudson Freeman / lots of hands at Wonder Bar
DESCRIPTION:Hudson Freeman + lots of hands w/s/g YOUBET \nHUDSON FREEMAN \nHudson Freeman is a brooklyn-based Lofi-folk artist\, inspired and forged by the DIY\nmidwest. The 27-year-old Freeman continues to record and perform songs equal-parts\nresonant\, reflective\, and poignant. He has quickly emerged as one of indie’s most\nenthralling new voices. His recent full-length\, is a Folk Artist\, helped solidify his\npresence as the kind of songwriter unafraid to tackle life’s most draining contradictions:\nmodern identity\, digital disconnection\, and faith. \nBorn to Evangelical missionaries\, Hudson started writing songs upon a radical break at\nthe age of thirteen when his family suddenly moved from the suburbs of Dallas to The\nKingdom of Eswatini. The profound influence of indie big-hitters like Sufjan Stevens and\nBon Iver as well as college years spent in Springfield\, Missouri made a do-it-yourself\nmidwesterner out of Hudson. Now\, his new song “If You Know Me” has recently started\ndrawing in attention from the masses\, catapulting Freeman into a wider spotlight than\never. It’s a moody blend of bedroom pop\, folk\, slowcore\, and post-emo\, stitched\ntogether by a singular guitar riff and mantra-style lyrics\, confirming Hudson’s undeniable\nknack for melody. \nLOTS OF HAND \ninto a pretty room — lots of hands’ debut on Fire Talk Records — exists in the tear-stained early mornings of adolescence\, just as the sun makes its first appearance over the horizon and thoughts of the night before begin to subside. A collage of reworked demos\, freewheeling session standouts\, and swatches of instrumental electronics\, into a pretty room emerges as lots of hands’ most thoughtful work to-date. Solemn yet hopeful\, into a pretty room occupies the space between moments of tragedy and triumph\, offering a touching rumination on grief and loss\, growing up and letting go. \nBilly Woodhouse and Elliot Dryden\, the core duo behind lots of hands\, first connected in a Newcastle school music program at age 16. At that point\, Woodhouse had been tinkering with lots of hands as a solo musical outlet\, self-releasing music on Soundcloud and quietly beginning work on 2020’s mistake. Shortly before that record’s release\, Dryden properly joined lots of hands\, an effort which was quickly thwarted by global circumstances outside of anyone’s purview. Separated by geography and global chaos\, Woodhouse and Dryden began work on lots of hands remotely\, exchanging demos online to craft what would become 2021’s largely instrumental there’s someone in this room just like you\, and 2023’s cult favorite fantasy. into a pretty room marks the duo’s first truly collaborative effort\, with Dryden often trekking the vast northern English countryside to write and record in Woodhouse’s bedroom studio. \nBetween pints of beer and rounds of Fortnite\, the two slowly chipped away at into a pretty room\, whose name is lifted from a pair of demos recorded and released in a short span across November of 2023. The earnest tenderness of these tracks — “into a pretty room” and “the rain”\, which appear newly re-recorded for the album — served as guiding light while the duo self-engineered the remainder of into a pretty room. Alongside these newly recorded songs appear Dryden’s unearthed demos\, mined and reworked by Woodhouse. Lead single “game of zeroes” puts Dryden front and center on a Hank Williams-inspired ode to coming up short. “I play a game of zeroes\,” he sings atop acoustic guitar\, piano and digital frills\, “Everyone but me will always win.” Elsewhere\, “masquerade” interrogates defense mechanisms through electronic-speckled indie folk that is both jaded and joyful. \nDryden’s tracks appear alongside Woodhouse’s own songs\, which span from touching instrumentals written for family\, meant to help usher them through a chapter of monumental loss\, to whispered ballads sung with loved ones. “All of my friends agree\, you’re in my head\,” Woodhouse intones alongside close collaborator and former roommate Mage Tears\, “in my head with me.” On the understated late album stunner\, “run your mouth\,” he imagines a lost one as “a bunch of stars\,” and ends the song fixated on “thoughts and memories of us.” Woodhouse’s contributions across into a pretty room ache with loss\, but settle gracefully into sparkling ambient sonics that propel the record on its trajectory of self-discovery and acceptance. “Death is just a word\, the feelings a reminder of past nights in the cold\,” he filters through pitch corrected vocals on “the rain\,” before sighing a resigned “oh well.” \nThese individually conceived tracks passed back and forth between the duo\, as they ventured into their first moments of writing in the same place at the same time. “backseat 30” is the duo’s first joint venture\, and the most immediate song in their discography\, transforming youthful anxieties into an explosive anthem. “I don’t wanna waste my life up\,” Woodhouse manifests atop layers of twangy and kinetic instrumentation\, “hitting the backseat 30\, talking with the dogs and the birdies\, getting my nails all dirty.” Early album centerpiece\, “barnyard\,” marks another proper collaboration on the record\, with Woodhouse and Dryden’s vocals intertwining and reflecting a quiet sadness as looped guitars swirl in a pool of sparkling instrumentation: “I’ll brush your hair through a nightmare\, breathing in the country air.” \nNewly relocated from Leeds to their current base of Newcastle-upon-Tyne\, lots of hands is anchored by the duo’s friendship\, which emanates across the album’s 14 tracks. While conceived across painful moments of growth and grief\, into a pretty room is a decidedly hopeful effort\, crafted between two friends who have spent the better part of the last decade supporting each other through life’s challenges. \n

SUMMARY:High Fade at Wonder Bar
DESCRIPTION:Funk/Rock trio High Fade –consisting of founder Harry Valentino (Guitar\, Vocals)\, Oliver Sentence (Bass\, Mustache) and drummer Heath Campbell (Drums) has grown from Scotland’s most excited busking band into a household name across the world after bursting onto the scene with viral sensations such as “Burnt Toast & Coffee”\, “Gossip”\, “Burnin’”\, and an audacious cover of Herbie Hancock’s “Chameleon”. Sold out tours across the UK\, USA\, and Europe have seen the band get well over 1\,500 shows under their belt\, allowing High Fade to fast become one of the most ferocious touring bands on the planet. Delivering shows that are packed with raw energy and jaw-dropping musicianship\, thye refuse to accept the limits of what a three-piece band can do. \nWith sold out tours across the UK\, USA\, and Europe; and impactful slots at dozens of festivals like Boomtown (UK)\, Suwannee Hulaween (USA) and Glastonbury –where they performed three times in one day in 2024 –High Fade have come a long way from that street corner in Edinburgh. Drawing inspiration from funk\, rock\, disco\, jazz\, metal\, punk\, soul\, and beyond\, High Fade has developed a sound that explodes out of a rip-roaring melting point of musical influences and tears at the fabric of space time by managing to feel simultaneously fresh and retro. Firecly independent\, the band releases music via their own label RPN Records (“Rippin’ Records”)\, including their debut album\, Life’s Too Fast (2024)\, which charted in the UK\, Ireland\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, USA\, and Australia. Not bad for an independent DIY band operating entirely outside of the Major Label system. High Fade’s sophomore LP\, Twice As Nice\, due for release on RPN Records May 2026\, was recorded at two of the world’s most renowned studios\, East Iris Studios in Nashville and RAK Studios in London. The hotly anticipated new album arrives just in time for the band’s massive 50-date Twice As Nicetour that will bring the band to all corners of the USA and Canada this Spring and Summer.

SUMMARY:The Hip Abduction on the Seaside Heights Beach w/ Will Evans
DESCRIPTION:TSR\, Social Rootz and ElmThree Presents The Hip Abduction with Will Evans. \nBlaine Ave Beach Entrance  on the Boardwalk \nTHE HIP ABDUCTION \nSometimes inspiration strikes from the immersion of living in a far away place. The view of the ocean. The sound of a rainforest at sunrise. The smell of an open-air market. The embrace of the wild human experience. However\, maybe the nostalgia for a certain place might be attributed instead to a feeling\, or a time\, or even a person. Sometimes\, inspiration stems from a place that everyone can relate to\, but maybe no one’s actually been. This is the music of The Hip Abduction\, the vibrant St. Petersburg\, FL-based collective that formed over a mutual appreciation for West African and early Jamaican reggae/dub music. \nWILL EVANS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill Evans pulls everyone into his embrace. He musically accesses a space without boundaries where all are welcome to commune openly and move freely. Through quotable folk-inspired lyrics\, breezy grooves\, and roots energy\, it’s as if he’s giving you permission to be that pure self you can’t always be at work or even at home… \nThe Rhode Island-based singer\, songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist also puts his words into action via his “Kind Folk” fan community\, activating small acts of kindness\, charity\, and goodwill in tandem with performances nationwide. After generating over 50 million streams independently\, he inspires once again through a series of 2024 releases and much more to come. \n“I want to make music that moves you\,” he states. “It’s rooted in compassion\, kindness\, and community. With anything I release\, there’s a lot of passion behind it. I’m always giving you the most authentic version of myself.” \nBuzzing out of the East Coast\, he has consistently engaged and enraptured a fervent audience. By rotating between acoustic guitar\, didgeridoo\, handpan\, percussive beatboxing\, and more\, he has developed a living and breathing signature sound of his own. Following Wishin’ Well [2013] and Signal Flares [2015]\, he reached a creative tipping point on Rise [2018]. Beyond collaborations with Trevor Hall\, Mihali\, and Paul Izak\, it yielded the fan favorites “Adam & Eve”\, “Rise” and “Hoka Hey” with over 5 million streams and counting. The album notably garnered three nominations at the New England Music Awards. 2023 saw him share After The Burnt Out Sun. Met with critical acclaim\, “a sophisticated collection\,” Seven Days professed\, “the record showcases Evans’ multi-instrumentalist prowess.” Between selling out shows across the United States and Europe\, he has graced bills alongside Crosby & Nash\, Grace Potter\, Bruce Hornsby\, Michael Franti & Spearhead\, Trevor Hall\, and Railroad Earth\, to name a few. Meanwhile\, “Kind Folk” has supported philanthropic organizations\, including Surfrider Foundation\, Operation Warm\, Do It For The Love Foundation\, Always Home\, and more. Their campaigns have ranged from beach cleanups\, clothing and food drives and benefits for land trust organizations. \nAll the while\, he continually pushes himself sonically. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlaine Ave Beach Entrance  on the Boardwalk

SUMMARY:Eddie 9V w/ Billy Walton Band @ Wonder Bar for Asbury Jams / North 2 Shore
DESCRIPTION:Eddie 9V has an endless stockpile of cool stories – and you’ll find twelve of them on his most recent studio album Saratoga\, released in November 2024 on the fabled Ruf Records label. A thrilling mix of Southern soul\, blues\, rock\, and funk\, Saratoga proved to be a gamechanger: a road trip-ready record filled with razor-sharp observations\, vintage textures\, and raw humanity. It also marked a major career milestone: Eddie 9V’s soulful sound began reaching hundreds of thousands of new fans across the globe. \nNow signed to Easy Eye Sound — the Nashville-based label founded by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys — Eddie 9V is preparing to release a brand-new album in 2026. And the momentum keeps growing. Since Saratoga dropped\, Eddie’s monthly listeners on Spotify have exploded from 8\,000 to peaking at over 800\,000.. Songs like “Halo\,” “Saratoga” and “Love Moves Slow” have become SiriusXM Spectrum-certified tracks\, gaining steady spins and major audience love. \nBut this rise is years in the making. From the day he first slung a guitar on a local Georgia stage\, Eddie 9V (born Brooks Mason) has been an artist to watch. First cutting his teeth in cover bands and regional blues circuits\, he made the leap to full-time frontman with a name that couldn’t be ignored. “I wanted to start from scratch – and I ain’t never heard of no bluesman named Eddie 9V.” \nThat leap paid off. His early albums Left My Soul In Memphis (2019) and Little Black Flies (2021) turned heads for their wild energy and vintage flair. 2022’s Capricorn was a breakout moment\, earning rave reviews from Classic Rock\, The Guardian\, and more. It debuted at #1 on the blues charts before being dethroned by Bonnie Raitt — “a cool story to be able to say\,” Eddie laughs. \nBy the time Saratoga arrived\, Eddie 9V had evolved into a full-spectrum songwriter\, tapping into deep wells of soul and storytelling alongside his brother and longtime collaborator Lane Kelly. Much of the album was recorded at their Echo Deco Studio in Atlanta\, with some sessions at Denver’s Crown Lanes Studio. From the disco-tinged horns of the title track to the fuzzed-out dreamscape of “Delta\,” it’s a record that widened the lens without losing the grit. \nNow with a major label partner\, national tours\, SiriusXM airplay\, and streaming growth that shows no signs of slowing\, Eddie 9V is poised for the next chapter. A new album is on the horizon. The band is sharper than ever. And if Saratoga was the ignition\, what’s coming next is the open highway. \n“I’m already writing new songs\,” he says. “You never stop.”

SUMMARY:Mihali (full band) @ Wonder Bar for North 2 Shore
DESCRIPTION:For Mihali\, music behaves much like a living being. It grows\, it matures\, and it changes with a sentient consciousness and with whims of its own. And just like music\, the Vermont-based singer\, songwriter\, guitarist\, and co-founder of rock outfit Twiddle continues to evolve\, using his gift as one of the strongest modern-day songwriters\, guitarists and performers to bring healing vibes and unforgettable songs to the world. \nHis 2022 record\, Effection [released via Ineffable Records]\, was a ten-track body of work that intertwines reggae spirit\, fluid soundscape architecture\, and invigorating mantras meant to be chanted aloud in a packed venue. With support from reggae and roots rock mainstays like Iration\, Chadwick Stokes (of Dispatch)\, The Movement\, The Elovaters\, Jacob Hemphill (of SOJA)\, and Iya Terra\, Effection effectively brought Mihali into the reggae spotlight\, landing him on tour with SOJA and G. Love & Special Sauce in 2024. \nContinually growing and transforming with his music\, Mihali has released his 3rd studio record\, Before The Dream [May 2\, 2025 via Ineffable Records]\, a 14-track journey that delves into his personal psyche and delivers messages about life and vibes meant for a day on the beach or a smoke sesh with friends. Before The Dream once again features numerous huge names in the worlds of reggae\, rock and pop music including Little Stranger\, Tropidelic\, Lily Fangz\, G. Love\, Brett Dennen\, Andy Frasco\, Seven Suns\, Satsang\, and Moon Taxi\, who’s guitarist/producer Spencer Thomson also produced the record (alongside contributions from DENM and Aurorawave’s Nathan Feinstein). \nWith a constant touring schedule and new music rolling out on a monthly basis – with more sure to come even after his new record – Mihali continues to expand his reach\, touching the hearts and souls of anyone who takes the time to listen.

SUMMARY:LaMP @ Wonder Bar for North 2 Shore
DESCRIPTION:On a magical night at Nectar’s in Burlington\, Vermont in December of 2018\, three musical masters—Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowski—came together with alchemical synthesis\, and created a fresh\, so-tight-it’s-free sound\, permeated with technical prowess and a deep-pocket punch. The packed house fortunate enough to be in attendance that night witnessed the birth of something very special. The following spring\, the trio took the name LaMP by combining the first letters of each members’ surname\, and reconvened back in Vermont at Sugarhouse Soundworks for an intense recording session with sound engineer Roger Stauss laying down tracks that would become their eponymous debut EP. \nMetzger\, described by The Village Voice as “…an ace guitarist of a thousand styles\,” and a full-time member of the beloved Joe Russo’s Almost Dead\, tested the decades-strong synergy between Lawton and Paczkowski forged from their time playing with Trey Anastasio Band and their duo project Soule Monde. It resulted in seven tracks crackling with energy and soul. The melodic and harmonic interplay between Paczkowski’s swirling organ and clavinet dancing with Metzger’s acrobatic melodies on telecaster\, driven by Lawton’s unflappable backbeat\, produced a record that will stand the test of time. Ever since—as the three members busy schedules have allowed—LaMP has prioritized bringing the music to the people with shows across the East Coast. As word has spread and the crowds have grown with each subsequent tour\, it’s become clear that LaMP will be a musical force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future.

SUMMARY:King Kyote / The Animeros @ Wonder Bar for Asbury Jams / North 2 Shore
DESCRIPTION:King Kyote Bio: \nHarken to a night of whiskey drinking in a cabin among the pines\, King Kyote echoes the yells of Rock & Roll’s fore-bearers while having a deeply rooted harmony with the Blues\, Roots-Rock & Indie-Americana genres. A force to be reckoned with on stage\, Kyote’s fiery live shows prove that pure raw talent combined with real\, honest songwriting is still the future of today’s music. \nHailing from the Maine coast\, King Kyote’s sound and inspiration comes from how he views and interprets the world around him. He expresses himself through a unique lens—like a photograph\, putting pen to paper captures life’s most delicate moments. The ability to draw creative power from the waves he rides and mountains he climbs gives Kyote a distinct perspective on the intertwines of the vagabond troubadour and the artist. \nOver the last five years\, King Kyote has firmly established himself as a standout artist\, garnering attention as one of the prominent figures to keep an eye on in the northeast. Kyote represented his home state of Maine on NBC’s American Song Contest with his song “Get Out Alive” which was released on Atlantic Records in March of 2022. King Kyote has shared stages with legendary artists\, including Taj Mahal\, Molly Tuttle & The Golden Highway\, Houndmouth\, and Robert Randolph & The Family Band. \n“I like the way he holds his own\, his vocal tone and his penmanship”- Snoop Dogg \nKing Kyote is gearing up for an extraordinary 2026 after building his reputation around one of the most engaging and powerful live shows in Americana music right now. \n\n\n\n\nThe Animeros \n\n\nWith musical notes that span well beyond genres like bolero\, psychedelic\, and cumbia\, The Animeros not only make their audience hit the dance floor\, but they also invite their listeners and tastemakers alike to a glimpse of their rich cultural upbringing. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe group who is made up of Nick Tozzo (drummer and percussionist)\, Nicolas Sanchez (bassist)\, and Mauro Lopez (guitarist) craft a genre-blending sound that drifts between the lush jungles of Colombia\, the palm-lined streets of 1960s coastal Mexico\, and the dusty cantinas of West Texas. \n\n\n\n\n\nSanchez’s Colombian roots\, growing up listening to his parents’ beloved salsa and cumbia; Lopez’s parents’ Mexican and American discography\, which spanned from traditional Tejano to improvised jazz; and Tozzo’s love for jazz and salsa music\, the latter stemming from his college years\, leading him to study and live in Colombia to experience music greats first-handedly. All of this\, paired with their undeniable chemistry and meshed with their now hometown Austin’s innovative creative sounds has led them to create the unique sonic movement that is The Animeros\, a name inspired by Colombian shamans who would usher lost souls to their peace. \n\n\n\n\n\nTheir journey took an unexpected turn when their music reached the ears of Dan Auerbach\, the Grammy Award winning producer\, songwriter\, and frontman of The Black Keys. Auerbach first heard them by chance\, music floating from an open hotel window that stopped him in his tracks. Captivated\, he made a note to track them down\, and within a year\, that chance encounter led to something bigger. Now signed to Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label\, The Animeros are preparing to release their debut album next year\, produced exclusively by Auerbach himself. \n\n\n\n\n\n“I feel like it’s only a matter of time for these guys and for the music that they play. All they have to do is be themselves\,” Auerbach said about the trio. “They’re playing the kind of music that they can play forever until they’re 100 years old because it’s rooted in history\, but it’s very much in the present.” \n\n\n\n\n\n“When we first talked\, one of the things was our love for the nuance in Latin music\,” Lopez shared. “That’s what initially drew ourselves to each other… That’s like a language among musicians.” Tozzo also talked about their shared musical bond: “What makes our chemistry special is that even if one of us has just a glimpse of an idea\, together we can take that and really create something out of it.” “That encyclopedia of [music] knowledge everyone brings…That’s what’s really appealing about this project. It’s not just surface level. Everybody’s going pretty deep on it\,” Sanchez added. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Animeros are on the cusp of reaching new audiences all over the globe. More singles are coming with a new album on the way in 2026 via Easy Eye Sound. \n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://theanimeros.com/ \n\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/theanimeros/ \n\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/theanimeros

SUMMARY:Sqwerv at Asbury Jams
DESCRIPTION:Sqwerv’s roots run deep in the Denver music scene. Those roots began to take hold as the band started hosting local open jams and playing gigs at small bars and venues in 2017. Since then\, Sqwerv has become a staple in Denver’s music scene with bands like Magic Beans\, Squeaky Feet\, Eminence Ensemble and Rado. \nThis four-piece Indie-Psych Rock band’s love for classic rock\, psychedelic music and improvisation creates a sound that is refreshingly original and exciting. Sqwerv realizes the importance of good songwriting and is always pushing themselves in the improvisation. The band spends a great deal of time writing lyrics\, composing\, and developing song structure that has grown into a catalogue that ranges from twelve minute prog songs inspired by Homer’s Odyssey to two minute psych songs about love. They are fiercely driven to get to those transcendent\, improvised spaces that all jam-music lovers crave. Sqwerv continues to deliver to their audiences through groove\, counterpoint\, polyrhythms and risk taking. \nIn the last two years the band has released two studio albums\, three live albums and completed two national tours with no plans on stopping. They have had the opportunity to open for acts like Lespecial\, Spafford\, Eggy and Big Something. They hold themselves to a rigorous tour schedule playing unique shows for their fans on a regular basis.

SUMMARY:Sqwerv at Asbury Jams
DESCRIPTION:Some music cannot be found on a map or within iTunes categories.  Some music is so original it seems snatched from the great\, invisible substrata that runs below all human activity\, a sound aching to be born without a flag or fixed allegiance – free\, questing\, overflowing with immediate\, tangible life.  This is the music of Toubab Krewe\, the vibrant instrumental powerhouse that creates a sonic Pangaea that lustily swirls together rock\, African traditions\, jam sensibilities\, international folk strains and more.  While nearly impossible to put into any box\, it takes only a few moments to realize in a very palpable way that one is face-to-face with a true original who recognizes no borders in a march towards a muscular\, original\, globally switched-on sound. \nFormed in 2005\, Toubab Krewe has tenaciously honed their craft through relentless touring and a fierce dedication to carving out something they can truly call their own.  The fruits of this hard work can be heard on their latest release\, STYLO\, (March 2nd\, 2018).  What Justin Perkins (Kora\, Kamelngoni\, guitar\, percussion)\, Terrence Houston (drumset)\, Drew Heller (guitar\, organ)\, Justin Kimmel (bass\, keys)\, and Luke Quaranta (Djembe\, Congas\, Dundun\, Sangban\, Kinkini) have wrought on STYLO reflects the many miles and musical journeys that have transpired since their last studio album\, TK2. \nThis is a band that actively draws inspiration from whatever source floats into their purview\, something they’ve exhibited in their decade and a half of heavy gigging\, including regular appearances at major U.S. festivals like Bonnaroo\, High Sierra\, Rothbury and Wakarusa\, and abroad at such legendary gatherings as the Festival In The Desert in Essakane\, Mali. Whether on their own or collaborating with luminaries like the Last Poets’ Umar Bin Hassan or Uncle Earl’s Rayna Gellert\, Toubab Krewe has already earned the attention and respect of a broad musical community. \nToubab carries echoes of African greats like Ali Farka Toure\, Orchestra Baobab and Salif Keita\, no doubt picked up during the group’s travels to study and live in Guinea\, Ivory Coast and Mali.  But what truly differentiates Toubab Krewe from other Statesiders inspired by African music is how they innovate on what they’ve learned instead of simply recreating tradition. Toubab Krewe carves out a new trail honoring the African originators they admire by making something alive and contemporary.

SUMMARY:The Skatalites at Wonder Bar
DESCRIPTION:with special guest Lady Hatchet Quartet \n2025 marks over 60 years of the original and unparalleled ska with The Skatalites! The original\nmembers played on hundreds of recording sessions before forming the band in 1964. Backing\nmost of the vocalists in Jamaica at that time\, including Bob Marley\, Toots and The Maytals\,\nJimmy Cliff\, Alton Ellis\, Ken Boothe and many more The Skatalites secured their place in history\nearly on. After disbanding in 1965 the individual members continued playing in various groups\nas the music evolved from ska to rocksteady to reggae.\n\nIn the late 70’s a resurgence of interest in the music began in the U.K. which caused the\ncreation of many bands such as The Specials\, The English Beat\, Madness\, The Selecter and Bad\nManners. This became known as the “Two-Tone era” and these British musicians fused rock\nmusic with the ska and reggae. In The early 80’s the music started to spread to the U.S.A and\nother parts of the world. Bands began to emerge all over the globe playing different flavors of\nska and reggae fused with whatever else they wanted to throw in\, including hard core\, jazz\nand even punk.\n\nIn 1983 The Skatalites reunited to play Reggae Sunsplash in Montego Bay and subsequently in\nLondon at The Crystal Palace for the U.K version of the Sunsplash event. A few years later they\nbegan emigrating to the U.S.A and in 1986 the first US shows began at The Village Gate in NYC.\nThe band supported Bunny Wailer on The Liberation Tour in 1989 and followed it up in 1990\nembarking on their first-ever headline tour of The U.S.A. The Skatalites have not stopped\ntouring the world ever since and continue to be available for festivals\, casinos\, and intimate\nvenue settings. Their uniquely infectious brand of real\, authentic Jamaican ska excites\naudiences of all ages across the globe year after year.\n\n“We hope you will enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoy performing it for you.”

SUMMARY:God Street Wine at Wonder Bar
DESCRIPTION:ElmThree presents God Street Wine.  After almost a decade apart\, GSW reunited privately in 2009 to honor the passing of an old friend and a year later played four concerts in NYC benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Infrequent but memorable gatherings continued at Bob Weir’s TRI Studios\, Sweetwater Music Hall\, rambles with Phil Lesh at Terrapin Crossroads and Jam Cruise. In 2013 they released a 25th anniversary box set retrospective and the documentary filmAll The Way To Here. Several years later the band ‑ now spread out across the globe in New York\, New Orleans and Berlin ‑ started collaborating on new studio tracks which led to eight new single releases in 2017-18 and the full length album This Fine Town in 2019. \nAfter eight shows in summer 2019\, other projects and commitments brought the band to another hiatus – a break that ended up longer than expected due to the Covid pandemic. After four years apart\, GSW got together again in 2023 with two New York area shows to benefit MS4MS (Mission Stadiums for Multiple Sclerosis). \n2024 brings more activity for GSW! On top of marking the 30th anniversary of the band’s 1st major label release\, $1.99 Romances\, and digitally releasing the long-lost Hot Sweet & Juicy\, the band is also releasing 3 albums from their catalog (Bag\, $1.99 Romances\, Hot Sweet & Juicy) on vinyl for the first time. This will all culminate with the original fivesome performing together again with four New York area shows!

DESCRIPTION:Jimmy Buffett often spoke of “traveling the songlines\,” a phrase borrowed from the Aboriginal tradition of mapping the land through music and story—paths that connect people\, places\, and moments across time. \nJammy Buffet picks up that journey\, where Buffett’s coastal storytelling meets the improvisational spirit of the jam band world. \nLed by singer-songwriter Bob Barrick\, with key contributions from Brendan Mayer (son of longtime Coral Reefer Peter Mayer)\, bassist Andrew Cooney\, drummer Tyler Gwynn\, and multi-instrumentalist Mickey Lenny this Colorado–Tennessee outfit breathes new life into Buffett’s timeless “Gulf & Western” sound. \nTheir live shows offer something for everyone: greatest-hit singalongs for casual fans\, deep cuts for the diehard Parrotheads\, and cosmic\, exploratory jams for those along for the ride. Expect sun-soaked grooves\, surprise segues\, and barefoot boogie energy from start to finish. \nWith collaborations featuring original Coral Reefers Roger Bartlett and Peter Mayer\, Jammy Buffet is quickly making waves in the Gulf & Western world—bringing fresh musicianship and modern jam sensibilities to Buffett’s storied catalog.

SUMMARY:The Heavy Heavy at Wonder Bar w/s/g MT Jones
DESCRIPTION:ElmThree presents The Heavy Heavy w/s/g MT Jones\nWith the arrival of their debut EP Life and Life Only\, The Heavy Heavy immediately filled a longtime void in the musical landscape\, delivering a soulful breed of rock & roll untouched by modern artifice. As audiences across the globe grew enchanted with their era-bending sound\, the UK-based band began selling out headline shows in major cities like New York and Chicago\, opening for the likes of Black Pumas and Band of Horses\, and earning critical comparisons to Jefferson Airplane\, The Band\, The Mamas & The Papas\, and more—all with only a handful of songs to their name\, including the AAA radio top five singles “Miles and Miles” and “Go Down River.” After spending the past two years on the road and in the studio\, The Heavy Heavy now draw listeners even deeper into their dreamworld with their long-awaited debut album One Of A Kind. \nWritten entirely by co-founders Georgie Fuller and William Turner and mostly recorded at Turner’s studio in Brighton\, One Of A Kind maintains the self-contained approach of Life and Life Only—a seven-song project acclaimed by outlets like NME (who named them an essential emerging artist for 2023) and The Guardian (who noted that The Heavy Heavy “write and play music with that lick of madness that makes early Fleetwood Mac and peak Stones so thrilling”). To that end\, Turner produced\, engineered\, and mixed every track and handled most of the LP’s lavish instrumentation (including guitar\, bass\, piano\, organ\, Mellotron\, and more)\, with The Heavy Heavy’s live band lending their explosive energy to the album. But in a departure from the EP\, One Of A Kind leans away from Laurel Canyon-esque folk-rock and fully embraces their British roots\, finding a particularly crucial inspiration in the gritty and groove-heavy hedonism of the Rolling Stones’ Goats Head Soup. “A lot of our EP was very bright and pretty\, so we wanted to smash the door down like we do in the live show\,” says Turner. “Because we were creating an entire album\, there was so much more space to explore and expand\,” Fuller adds. “It’s still undoubtedly that Heavy Heavy sound\, but now we have all these other rooms to play around in.” \nFor One Of A Kind’s lead single\, The Heavy Heavy chose a sun-drenched and sing-along-ready number that serves as an auspicious bridge to the band’s new era. The last song written for the album\, “Happiness” bends toward the lush psych-pop of Life and Life Only while introducing a new level of visceral intensity. “We felt we needed a song that had that summery\, flowery feel of the EP\, and somehow at the last minute we were able to pull magic out of thin air\,” Fuller recalls. A fast fan favorite at their live shows\, “Happiness” channels a bold determination to break free from loneliness and stagnation\, ultimately providing an automatic mood lift thanks to The Heavy Heavy’s resplendent melodies and signature multi-part harmonies. \nKicking off with a majestic bang\, One Of A Kind opens on the rolling drumbeats and walloping riffs of its title track—a feverishly chanted anthem whose lyrics transform the listener into the protagonist of their own impossibly glamorous movie (e.g.\, “You’re getting down/You’re keeping on/You look the best/You’re all night howling”). Graced with a breathtaking vocal performance from Fuller (a classically trained singer)\, “One Of A Kind” quickly set the tone for the album’s larger-than-life vitality. “Something about the primal nature of that song inspired us to keep making songs that feel quite big and powerful\,” says Turner. Later\, on “Because You’re Mine\,” The Heavy Heavy sustain that feel-good spirit and share a carefree love song lit up in slinky grooves and hallucinatory lyrics depicting what Fuller refers to as “the psychedelic daydream of a wandering nomad type—someone who goes wherever the wind takes them.” \nAs One Of A Kind floats along\, The Heavy Heavy endlessly push into previously uncharted sonic terrain\, tapping into such unexpected influences as mid-’90s big beat on the bass-driven and gorgeously hazy “Miracle Sun.” “It’s a song with a lot of attitude to it—sort of our way of telling the world\, ‘We’re living the way we want to live\, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand\,’” says Turner. Meanwhile\, on “Feel\,” the band merges the mesmerizing grooves of Madchester-era Britpop with a bit of idiosyncratic poetry (“I am a freeloader love junkie/A real heavy cannonball and I’m hungry…I stand between the sun\, between the stone/I feel it in my fingers\, feel it in my bones”). And on “Wild Emotion\,” One Of A Kind offers up a country-infused serenade laced with galloping rhythms and twangy guitar tones partly inspired by the work of Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler. “That’s probably the most emotional song on the album\,” Turner points out. “It’s meant to have a reassuring message\, but at its center is the story of a woman who’s gone through a heartbreak and can’t find her way out of feeling hopeless and distraught.” \nAfter journeying through a whirlwind of sounds and textures—the hypnotic Mellotron of “Lemonade\,” the frenetic psych-rock organ and skyscraping vocals of “Dirt\,” the earthy acoustic guitar and sweetly playful harmonies of “Lovestruck”—One Of A Kind lands at the reverb-soaked splendor of its closing track\, “Salina.” Named for a sparsely populated volcanic island off the coast of Sicily (an otherworldly spot Fuller and Turner visited on vacation)\, the slow-building epic unfolds in so many exquisitely strange sonic details: moody cello lines\, thundering percussion\, a spellbinding pedal-steel part simultaneously played by two separate guest musicians. “‘Salina’ was one of those moments where we let ourselves get experimental with the production and create a whole ocean of sound\,” says Fuller. “We knew we had to put it at the end and let the reverb ring out in those final seconds—almost as if we’re leaving the album hanging in the air.” \nFormed in 2019\, The Heavy Heavy emerged from a potent alchemy of their eclectic sensibilities. Hailing from the small town of Malvern (a stretch of the English countryside he describes as “a beautiful place full of hippies and longhaired people”)\, Turner took up guitar in his early teens and later played in a series of psychedelic/surf-rock bands\, while Fuller’s extensive background includes performing at Montreux Jazz Festival as a teenager and acting in the London theater. As they moved forward with a mission of “making music that sounds like our favorite records ever” (including everything from Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac to folk-blues act Delaney & Bonnie to Fleet Foxes)\, the duo dreamed up a batch of songs in a London flat and self-released an early version of Life and Life Only in late 2020\, eventually catching the attention of ATO Records and signing with the U.S.-based label in 2022. Fueled in part by the breakout success of “Miles and Miles” (their ATO debut single)\, The Heavy Heavy’s five-piece live band soon began playing bigger and bigger venues and taking the stage at leading festivals like Bonnaroo\, Boston Calling\, and Newport Folk Festival\, in addition to performing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!\,” “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert\,” and “CBS Saturday Morning” and scoring major syncs with the likes of Nissan and Netflix’s “Outer Banks.” \nBecause of the rapturous response to their debut EP\, The Heavy Heavy found themselves in an unfamiliar headspace when it came to the creation of One Of A Kind. “With the EP we were making songs as a way to soundtrack our own lives\, but now it’s a different beast—it’s no longer theoretical\, which gives everything more weight\,” says Turner. But in the end\, the band discovered an essential touchstone in the connection they’ve forged with their fans over the last two years. “Not too long ago\, a woman came up to us at a show and told us she was getting a tattoo of one of our lyrics to remind herself to keep pushing on and keep chasing her dreams\,” Fuller says. “Moments like that always remind us that as long as we keep making what feels good\, chances are it’s going to make other people feel good too. I hope this album feels like a great big party to everyone\, and I hope it inspires them to live their lives however they want.”

SUMMARY:JJ GREY & MOFRO on the Seaside Beach
DESCRIPTION:JJ GREY & MOFRO  \nFrom his early days playing cover music behind chicken wire at a west side Jacksonville juke joint while still working at a lumberyard\, to playing sold-out shows at some of the largest venues and music festivals in the world\, JJ Grey has always delivered his soul-honest truths. Since his first album\, ‘Blackwater’\, back in 2001\, Grey has been releasing deeply moving\, masterfully written\, funkified rock and front porch Southern soul music. \n\nNow\, with ‘Olustee’ – his tenth album and first in eight years\, and the first he has self-produced – Grey is back\, singing his personal stories with universal themes of redemption\, rebirth\, hard luck\, and inner peace.

Many of the songs are steeped in the mythical Southern stories of his ancestral Florida home and filled with people from JJ’s life. The songs are told through the eyes of a poet and sung with pure\, unvarnished soul. Grey’s message is simple and strong – respect the natural world and always try to live in the moment. And never forget the importance of having a good time!

SUMMARY:Neal Francis at Wonder Bar (Asbury Jams)
DESCRIPTION:Neal Francis w/s/g Pearl Charles \nNEAL FRANCIS – RETURN TO ZERO \nThe latest album from Neal Francis\, Return To Zero\, emerged from the kind of visionary fever dream that only the most masterful and inventive artists are capable of bringing to life. Amid a grueling tour schedule that found him playing nearly 400 shows from 2021 to 2024\, the Chicago-based singer/songwriter/pianist immersed himself in creating a beautifully strange entangling of timeless rock & roll and ’70s-era dance music\, merging supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush and pulsating grooves—all constructed sans digital programming\, in keeping with his devotion to all things analog. Worlds away from the glitzy fantasia of archetypal disco\, Return To Zero inhabits a far moodier atmosphere and ultimately makes for the most thrilling manifestation of Francis’ peerless musicality yet. \nEqual parts heady and hedonistic\, pensive and euphoric\, Francis’ third studio LP echoes both his deep-rooted psych-rock sensibilities and a lifelong affinity for classic funk. “I’ve always been intrigued by music that toes the line between funk and rock\,” notes Francis. “In the past I’ve asked myself things like\, ‘What would it sound like if Thin Lizzy cut a disco record?’ It’s something I’ve been fascinated with for a very long time\, so I finally decided to really go for it.” \nThe follow-up to his 2023 double live album and concert film Francis Comes Alive\, Return To Zero marks Francis’ first full-length studio effort since In Plain Sight—a 2021 release acclaimed by the likes of leading rock critic Steven Hyden\, who praised its “throwback big-band sound that recalls the highs of 1970s funk and swamp rock.” With his past work also including his 2019 debut album Changes (hailed as “the reincarnation of Allen Toussaint” by BBC Radio 6)\, Francis began playing piano at the young age of four and became an in-demand sideman while still a teenager\, touring with revered blues artists and beloved instrumental band The Heard before embarking on his solo career. Over the years\, he’s sold out headline shows all across the globe\, supported the likes of Wilco\, Black Pumas\, and My Morning Jacket\, appeared at major festivals such as Bonnaroo\, Fuji Rock\,  and Lollapalooza\, and even performed at historic venues like Carnegie Hall. \nLike all of his studio work so far (including his 2022 EP Sentimental Garbage)\, Return To Zero finds Francis co-producing alongside his frequent collaborator Sergio Rios and recording live with members of his touring band (drummer Collin O’Brien\, bassist Mike Starr\, guitarist Kellen Boersma)\, elegantly showcasing his prodigious talent and dazzling originality as a keyboard player. Mainly created at Rios’ L.A. studio\, the album’s grandiose yet warmly inviting sound also took shape from his close collaboration with composer/conductor Dom Frigo (who aided Francis by transcribing the LP’s symphonic string sections)\, Say She She (a Brooklyn-based psychedelic-soul trio who adorn a number of songs with their beguiling backing vocals)\, and a stacked lineup of co-writers that includes Queens of the Stone Age bassist Michael Shuman and Wild Belle co-founder Elliot Bergman. \nIn the making of his most ambitious work to date\, Francis faced countless moments of creative frustration—a factor that eventually gave the album its title. “I was cutting a lot of the vocals at home\, using a hybrid process where I’d bounce the tracks from my computer to a tape machine and then record the vocals to tape\,” he explains. “I’d be in my vocal booth in the closet with all our winter coats\, and every time I needed to start over I’d press this button that says ‘RTZ\,’ which stands for ‘Return To Zero.’ I was doing take after take and pressing that button over and over—it was a huge pain\, but it also linked up with what I’ve learned in my meditation practice: no matter how frustrated you get\, just remain calm and take inventory\, and then begin again.” \nAlthough executing Return To Zero’s highly elaborate arrangements often involved a very time-intensive trial-and-error approach\, the album-opening “Need You Again” surfaced from an immediate burst of inspiration after Francis attended a DJ set by Derrick Carter (a Chicago house legend who created a 12-inch remix of “BNYLV” from In Plain Sight). “My girlfriend and I went out to a queer dance party called Queen! and stayed till about four in the morning\, and Derrick played a track that was a big rock riff over a funk beat\,” he recalls. “The next day I went into the studio on very little sleep and started working on the demo for ‘Need You Again\,’ and after I finished I couldn’t stop listening to it.” Featuring a guest spot from Grammy-winning guitarist Eric Krasno (Soulive\, Lettuce)\, the result is a glorious entry point into the album’s groove-heavy soundscape\, unfolding in sinewy riffs and larger-than-life rhythms as Francis narrates a tale of ruinous infatuation. “It’s a song about a love affair\, and the experience of projecting magical qualities onto another person and feeling almost addicted or beholden to them\,” he reveals. \nAnother charmed moment in the album’s creation\, “Broken Glass” was sparked from a session featuring Francis on bass and Shuman on drums\, with the two soon conjuring the hypnotically potent riff that propels the track forward. With its viscerally charged depiction of lust and self-denial\, the darkly majestic epic reaches a stratospheric crescendo at the bridge\, when pounding drums meet with Say She She’s near-operatic harmonies. “Once we had that riff I started filling in some freeform poetry from my notebook\, which had to do with the idea of taking direction in an intimate liaison\,” says Francis. “It all came together so naturally because of how Michael was playing drums\, bringing that Queens of the Stone Age heavy-rock thing I love so much.” \nOne of the most dance-ready tracks on Return To Zero\, “Back It Up” glides along on glossy synth lines and a playfully swaggering riff\, imbuing a carefree spirit into Francis’ deliberately over-the-top confession of romantic desperation. “That song went through a few different phases before we got to the final iteration\,” he says. “It took me a while to accept that it’s okay to have fun with the lyrics\, instead of making everything so serious all the time.” Meanwhile\, on “What’s Left Of Me\,” Francis presents a gorgeously sprawling power-pop anthem built on his resplendent piano work. Co-written with Nashville-based songwriter Chris Gelbuda\, the track arose from a piano-and-vocal demo captured at Chicago’s Fine Arts Building\, soon evolving into a piercingly candid reflection on life on the road. “Chris and I are good friends and we got to talking about the challenges of being in a committed relationship while you’re on tour\,” says Francis. “A lot of these songs were influenced by Electric Light Orchestra and the way Jeff Lynne synthesizes classical music and pop songwriting\, and ‘What’s Left Of Me’ was definitely one where I was going for an ELO vibe.” \nPartly inspired by the funk and dance records he typically spins during his sets as an all-vinyl DJ\, Return To Zero also encompasses everything from the spaced-out drama of “Dance Through Life” to the string-laced reverie of “Can’t Get Enough” (a collaboration with Durand Jones & The Indications’ Blake Rhein that is a sublimely mellowed-out homage to acid-jazz pioneer Roy Ayers). In creating such a complex body of work\, Francis found his sense of perseverance repeatedly tested. “Most of these songs were pretty hard-won\,” he says. “There was a feeling of pulling out all the stops to achieve what I was going for\, and in the middle of that I was dealing with some depression and exhaustion. I ended up learning a lot about myself\, and now I feel like I’m in a completely different place in terms of my priorities with mental health.” Despite its more daunting aspects\, the writing and recording of Return To Zero also brought plenty of moments of pleasure\, including composing with strings for the very first time and tracking songs with his longtime bandmates. “All those guys are like my brothers\, and there was a feeling of us working together with an almost athletic desire to get better every time we did a new take\,” Francis says. “Those were really long days at the studio\, but they were also so much fun.” \nLooking back on the making of Return To Zero\, Francis points to certain crucial lessons absorbed while creating his most extravagantly realized work so far. “One of the main things I’ve learned is that every album is going to be its own journey; I can’t really take the arsenal of things I’ve learned in the past and expect them to save me from any kind of frustration with whatever I make next\,” he says. “Creating art is always going to be a challenge\, which maybe goes back to why AI-created music is never going to be all that compelling—it’s just too fucking easy. The best I can do is use what’s at my disposal and try not to freak out or despair when it gets difficult\, and hopefully end up making something that gives people joy.” \n# # #
