Scree – Ryan El-Solh (guitar), Carmen Quill (bass), and Jason Burger (drums) – have developed a distinctive group sound over their 7 years as a band, delivering song-like free improvisations and improvisational interpretations of El-Solh’s compositions. (photo by Zosha Warpeha)
Levon (Henry) is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, singer, theorist, and teacher based in New York City. While primarily associated with saxophones & clarinets (whether for Julian Lage, Paula Cole, or Jib Kidder), Levon has always made his own music in the margins on a variety of other instruments. His solo project has gradually shifted focus from instrumental to vocal music –self-accompanied on guitar and keyboards– which he has finally begun performing live. (photo by Joe Henry)

Classical Piano with Charlotte from The Mops • Peter Stampfel and the Atomic Meta Pagans.
6:30 Doors, Charlotte at 7, Stampfel, etc 8pm $15.00 suggested Donation
Charlotte from The Mops has spent a lot of her life practicing classical piano. She is currently completing her doctorate in piano performance at SUNY Stony Brook, where she studies with 89-year old legend Gilbert Kalish (one more year than keys) and teaches undergraduate piano students. This solo piano program at the Owl will focus on fantastical imagination, with selections from Bach’s Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue, Beethoven’s Sonata quasi fantasia, and Scriabin’s Sonata-Fantasy. When not at the piano or in band practice with the Mops, Charlotte works with her mom to run Music at Port Milford, a summer chamber music festival and school in Ontario. She welcomes all challenges to her unusually developed knowledge of string quartet trivia.
Peter Stampfel first came to prominence in 1964, as the singing, banjoist-fiddler co-founder of the Holy Modal Rounders, who were in turn the backing band of the Fugs at the time of their 1965 debut. These alone would have secured his place in history as a founder of Freak Folk. But Peter has never stopped playing or innovating. This show will feature a largely new repertoire, including a batch of recent “soul jingles” featuring the wisdom of the Stoics.The Atomic Meta-Pagans on this date may be: Peter Stampfel (electric uke, fiddle, banjo, lead vocals), Steve Espinola (piano), Heather Wagner (drums), Eli Hekto (banjo, mandolin), Sam Werbalowsky (lap steel), Dok Gregory (general “kirking”), Paul Nowinski (bass). -

Talk Bazaar • Eliza Edens • Alex Harwood May 3
7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation
Talk Bazaar will dance the night away with you, sing and cry the whole car ride home, and tuck you gently into bed. Their 2024 album “WHATSPACE?” is the frenetic feeling of both isolation and community, of always trying to slow down and not knowing how to stop.
Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Eliza Edens weaves together disparate influences of people and places into her work to create mesmerizing sonic tapestries with guitar and voice. Edens’ songs build a kaleidoscopic world that documents the parallels between hope and heartbreak. The resulting sound is a diverse palette of guitar-based, experimental folk-rock centered around Eden’s gently-cradled voice and brimming at the edges with pockets of sonic whimsy.
Alex Harwood’s music is a seamless blend of soulful indie twang and nuanced jazz harmonies that will sound at home soundtracking any road trip or late-night hang session. He’s currently taking 300mg of bupropion and a multi vitamin daily.

Oren 0'Blivion • Otracami • Charlie Kaplan May 10
Doors 7:30 Music 8:00 Suggested Donation $15.00
Oren 0’Blivion is a person of not-inconsequential life experience: making messes, finding himself in messes that weren’t obviously his doing (but who knows) or just feeling like a mess during the interstitial moments between the major mess episodes. This pattern of living could make for some great songs and it’s a shame someone with talent won’t be able to help with that.
Otracami is the project of Camila Ortiz, a Brooklyn-based songwriter, vocalist, and producer. She released her debut full-length album, touching the stove coil, in November 2023.
Charlie Kaplan is a Brooklyn-based songwriter who runs the independent label Glamour Gowns. On Monday 5/12 and Tuesday 5/13, he and his bandmates – Winston Cook-Wilson, Andrew Daly Frank, Julian Cubillos, and Jason Burger – will be recording Charlie’s fifth album. Just days before, on 5/10, they will be playing it in its entirety to rev up and get the juices flowing. It will be a loose and fun set, chock-full of songs you haven’t heard but will likely like.

7:30 Door 8:00 Music $15 suggested donation
Jana Horn is a musician and writer from Texas. She has an MFA in fiction writing from the University of VA, and releases music on the album No Quarter.Ryan Power’s career has been one of quiet growth. He has been releasing music under his own name since 2002, all of it boasting a sensitive, skewed, delirious take on pop music. He has embarked on a quest to write song-based music full of color, melody and shifting harmonic puzzles. Ryan will be performing solo.Matt Bachmann (b. 1988, Chicago) is a musician/social worker whose sound is a marriage of long form repetitive instrumental music and songwriting. The combination feels like a soundtrack to a film that has yet to have been created– it’s playful and dramatic; part breathy ballad, part DIY chamber music, and part 80’s Japanese synthwork. Bachmann has released three records on Owen Ashworth’s (Advance Base) tight knit Chicago based label, Orindal Records, including Dream Logic which was released in 2021.

Kyle Morgan • Katy Pinke May 31
7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation 
In the past decade, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Kyle Morgan has released 4 records. Each features his earnest tenor voice, evocative lyricism and distinctive conglomeration of Americana – from stripped-down acoustic ballads and love-lorn parlor laments to roaring alt-country and throwback 60’s rock’n’roll. His latest release and label debut, Younger at Most Everything, came out on Team Love Records in 2022. In addition to his solo efforts, Kyle performs throughout NYC with a number of collaborators including Isaac Gillespie (Kyle & Isaac), Rachel Housle (WishWish), and Tamar Korn.
Katy Pinke’s songs are self-examinations—cerebral and unsparing, but reaching toward a more promising future. The Manhattan-based singer-songwriter, painter, and theater-maker’s nimble soprano evokes the precision, humor, and melancholy of forbearers like The Roches and Connie Converse. Sentences pour across verses, disrupting the symmetry of the expected verse-chorus form. Pinke released her stripped-down debut self-titled album in the spring of 2024, which PopMatters describes as “somehow dreamlike but rooted in authentic, basic principles of songwriting and performance.

Alta Quartet • Michael Bates' Acrobat Sept 14
7:30 Door 8:00 Show $12 suggested donation
Michael Bates’ Acrobat and the ALTA String Quartet present radically different explorations of two dissident composers: Dmitri Shostakovich and Witold Lutoslawski.Acrobat are:Marty Ehrlich-clarinet • Fung Chern Hwei-violin • Sara Schoenbeck-bassoon • Michael Bates-bass •Michael Sarin-drums. The quintet, led by bassist/composer Michael Bates, features five fearless voices exploring one of music’s most mysterious personalities, Dmitri Shostakovich. With literal themes by Shostakovich or themes composed with his spirit, “Acrobat” is full of music that is playful yet dark and swinging. And while Shostakovich is clearly being channeled, the voices of these five fantastic improvisers will be on full display: Beautiful and vicious, elegant and dissonant, and humor laced with serene sarcasm.
Alta are: Gabryel Smith-violin • Rachel Hauser-violin •Emily Bookwalter-viola • Ken Hashimoto-cello, a collaboration of four committed and curious musicians based in Brooklyn, NY who perform and premiere a wide range of music for string quartet. Founded in 2021, the group has been praised for their “fiery” and “faithful” performances (New York City Jazz Record) of contemporary repertoire, and regularly performs music both old and new. On this evening, The ALTA String Quartet performs Shostakovich and Prokofiev. -
