    Izzy Oram Brown • Kitba • Eric Gabriel Nov 21

    7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation

     

     

    Izzy Oram Brown is a Brooklyn based guitarist and songwriter who released her debut record Mess in 2022. Created with a host of collaborators in various spaces around New York, Mess finds Oram Brown drawing on her work as a guitar player and her love of the folk song tradition to create her first project as a songwriter. She pairs introspective lyrics and winding melodies with layered guitars, synthesizers, and percussion to create an ethereal and moving body of work. Grounded in precise songwriting and embellished with experimental production, Mess is Oram Brown stepping out from a supporting role and sharing an assured album of naked honesty.

     
     
    Kitba, the eponymous musical project of singer-songwriter and harpist Rebecca Kitba Bryson El-Saleh, is the culmination of a lifetime of musical and artistic development. Based in Brooklyn, El-Saleh makes exhilarating, deeply personal music that explores the nuances of interiority, self-acceptance, communication, mental health, and love. Kitba’s debut self-titled album, produced by El-Saleh and Zubin Hensler, was released in July 2023 via Ruination Record Co.
     

    Eric Gabriel is an NYC born and raised songwriter, pianist, and producer.  Once generously described as somewhere between Bootsy and Willie, Eric’s music is occasionally groovy, at times introspective, and always pulling from a wide array of folk, soul, and 70s rock as well as his experience playing with his band Melt for the past seven years.  This show will be entirely unreleased music off his upcoming debut solo album.  For this performance, Eric will be joined by Julian Cubillos, Jason Burger, Jacob Drab, and Asher Kurtz.

    7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation

     

    Ian Davis: Rock Band is an outlet for NY-based composer/guitarist/songwriter Ian Davis.

    Maddy with a Y is a collection of songs by maddy baltor. maddy tends to tuck her songs away but is practicing getting comfortable sharing them. in her songs she often explores themes of memory, love, sisters, self, and the natural world. these songs will be brought to life by a band of angels: mikey buishas, adam brisbin, and izzy oram brown. 
     
    Borey Shin makes synth ballads, ambient music, animations, chamber music, and moody songs.

    Gemma Laurence • Jess Kerber • Will Orchard Nov 23

    7:30 Dooors 8:00 Music $15.00 adv / $18.00 at door

    Gemma Laurence is a Brooklyn-based indie folk singer-songwriter from the coast of Maine. Categorizing herself as “Sapphic folk,” Laurence has been named an “up-and-comer” in the queer music scene by NPR Music and starred on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Having grown up on the coast of Maine and the hills of Oxfordshire, Laurence’s time on both sides of the Atlantic influenced her unique sound: a fusion of foot-stomping Americana with a hint of English folk. Crafting a lush soundscape of rich acoustic textures, dreamy harmonies, and found sounds, Laurence’s timeless tracks call her listeners home to the people and places left behind for new beginnings. Her album Lavender is out now on Better Company Records.

    Jess Kerber is a songwriter who hails from just outside New Orleans, LA. Picking up the guitar at age 12, she quickly learned the instrument on an atypical path. Heavily inspired by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Susan Tedeschi, she primarily gravitated towards alternate tunings, leading her playing to take on a color unlike most other musicians. Her voice grew to attain a deep purple heaviness, which enchanted her early recordings, all backed by the tasteful intricacy of her guitar playing, melodic and captivating enough to stand on its own.  Before long, she found herself at Boston’s Berklee College of Music as the 2018 Berklee Lollapalooza full scholarship recipient. The environment challenged her tastes and songwriting style, leading her to take on a more subdued and lyric-driven approach, influenced by the indie-folk of artists like Andy Shauf and Adrianne Lenker.  Having embarked on two self-booked European tours and releasing her debut record (May 2022), Jess has since relocated to Nashville, TN – where she lives with her two cats, Tahini and Archie.

    Will Orchard has released four EPs and LPs as, both independently and with Brooklyn-based label, Better Company Records. He has been praised by PopNews, Glide Magazine, The Wild Honey Pie, Atwood, and more as a unique emerging voice in folk music. Now based in Nashville, he is currently back in his natural environment of self-production, with an in progress-LP slated to release in 2025.

    7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 adv / $20.00 at door

    jondownload is the performance alias of drummer and recording artist Jonathan Starks. His solo set utilizes a cyborg drum kit – manipulating digital samples in real time via acoustic percussion performance.

    Building an intimate sonic world together, Tim Watson’s orchestrational guitar work perfectly complements Addie Vogt’s deadpan sensitivity and understated lyricism.

    Minnie Jordan is a Brooklyn-based improvising violinist and composer. Working primarily in the jazz idiom, she draws on a wide swath of American roots music as well as classical training to develop a contemporary voice for the instrument. This quartet features Evan Main on piano, Charlie Lincoln on bass, and Willis Edmundson on drums.

    Michelle Willis & Chris Parker • Miles Hewitt, Jake Klar & Karlo Rueby Dec 5

    7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation

     

    Michelle Willis returns to Brooklyn to play duo with Chris Parker, featuring songs by both. 

    For one night only, Jake Klar, Miles Hewitt, and Karlo Rueby will weave a special braid of their musics: three interwoven sets from three original and powerful songwriters. 

    Jake Klar is an artist based in Heath, MA. His songs showcase an ongoing collection of life’s lyric moments, both the eccentric and the daily. Klar rides on the Americana tradition of storytelling in his work, while bringing in the edge of modern folk/rock-inspired arrangements. Whether Jake is playing solo or with his band – you will leave his shows with his crooning voice and the poetry of his lyrics ringing through your head.

    Miles Hewitt is a songwriter and poet residing in Brooklyn. His debut record,  Heartfall, was named one of the 50 Best Albums of 2022 by The Boston Globe, who wrote:  “Simply brilliant . . . by turns intimate and epic, lush with strings and delicate fingerpicked guitar, languid psychedelia and dreamy pedal-steel painted soundscapes.” 2025 will see the release of its follow-up, Vainglory. 

    Karlo Rueby’s Bye For Now is a 22-minute break-up album in 3 acts, recorded and mixed at home. Karlo also plays current and former bandmate in Western MA bands like Sun Parade, Hannah Mohan (And The Kids, Topsy), Prewn, Carinae, and is the co-founder of Cousin Moon.

    Emily Hope Price • Akie Bermiss Dec 6

    7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation

    Emily Hope Price is a New York-based cellist, singer, songwriter, film composer, arranger, and performing artist. Before they disbanded in 2015, she was cellist and one of three singer-songwriters in the Brooklyn-based indie band Pearl and the Beard. Since returning to a solo career, she regularly performs on Broadway, composes for dance, film and television, and performs, records, and collaborates with artists around the world. Her solo work resonates withcinematic intensity and imagery – using voice, effects, and layered instrumental composition.

    Akie Bermiss is affable, near-sighted, hirsute, and a nerd of the highest water. Nevertheless, he has also somehow managed to cultivate and live a double-life as cool and *very* hip musician. His favorite thing to do is write (and, subsequently, sing) songs about aliens and spaceships and falling in love.

    Talia Schlanger is a songwriter, musician and broadcaster whose intimate and explosive debut album “Grace for the Going” was named one of Exclaim!’s Most Anticipated Canadian Albums of 2024. With a warm, inviting sound that sits somewhere between folk, jazz and rock, NPR Music writes “Schlanger is an empathetic ear for someone’s wounded heart; her voice sure in its love, gently cradling ours.” She sings about compassion, hope, survival, mental health, love gone bad and sometimes extinct species of frogs. As former host of the NPR-distributed radio show World Cafe and frequent guest host on CBC’s Q with Tom Power, Schlanger has also interviewed hundreds of artists. She began her professional performance career at age 14 and her various theatre credits including performing in the original Canadian cast of Queen’s We Will Rock You and the first US tour of Green Day’s American Idiot. Her new live EP, coming out Oct 25 via Latent Recordings, is produced by Cowboy Junkies’ Mike Timmins.

    Lily Talmers is a Michigan-born, Brooklyn based songwriter. Her music hopes to elicit deep sorrow and joy, both, and wonders about their connection.

    Sammy Weisberg • Matt Bachmann • Iceblink Dec 12

    7:30 Doors 8:00 music $15 suggested donation

      

    Sammy Weissberg is a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist based out of Brooklyn, New York. He’s scored numerous films including “What Doesn’t Float” (Prod. Pauline Chalamet) and has four releases of chamber music under his own name.  Sammy has also contributed string and wind arrangements for artists such as Caroline Rose, June McDoom, Kristine Leschper, Allegra Krieger, The Cradle, Girlpool, and more.

    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 shot– it’s playful and dramatic, building upon a sonic pallet that’s 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.

    Freedy Johnston • Chris Maxwell Dec 27

    7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation

     

    Freedy Johnston is one of those rare singer-songwriters who counts critics among his biggest fans — and whose heroes consider him a peer. Not bad for a self-proclaimed “geek in glasses who never left his room.” In 1994 Rolling Stone named Johnston the ‘Songwriter of the Year’, describing him as “A master storyteller, (who) sketches out full-blown tragedies in a few taut poetic lines.” Adding, “He joins that elite cadre of songwriters—Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Elvis Costello—whose brilliant pop compositions turn magical with the addition of a defiantly idiosyncratic singing voice.”
     
    His new album, Back on the Road to You, is a return to grace for this gifted songwriter. It embodies the sound of an American original, reminding us that he is still considered one of the best songwriters of his generation.

Martina holds a B.M in Jazz Composition from Berklee College of Music, where she was awarded the Latin American Tour Scholarship.

Notable collaborations include a piano duo project with Brad Mehldau, world tours with James Taylor, Sonny Rollins, John Scofield, Joe Henderson, and Roy Haynes.   In addition, Kevin has become increasingly known as a gifted and expressive singer/songwriter.

    Ambient Pasta presents Rain Johannes & Weeze Jan 11

    7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation

    Rain Johannes returns to The Owl to celebrate the 6-year anniversary of his album, “Overcome” by performing it in its entirety. Released in December 2018, Rain’s sophomore album builds upon the unique blend of introspective folk music, delicate classical guitar and hard rock first explored on his 2016 debut “Sunshine.” From the deep well dug by the likes of Joni Mitchell & Nick Drake, Johannes draws poetic lyricism and rich guitar harmony together to write his own stories of love, loss, and overcoming (naturally). Joined by multi-instrumentalist brothers Tom and Dan Criblez, you’ll be sure to hear “Overcome” at its fullest.

    Weeze is a multi-sensory artist always discovering and chasing new paths in his work. In music, piano became his greatest ally, exploring nostalgic melodies and creative arrangements of his compositions. Performing in collaboration with a variety of instruments and players, Weeze sets tend to be different every time he plays. Putting effort into the sequenced experience for his band and the audience, it allows space to do something that feels current and inspiring to everyone involved. Jan 11th, Weeze will explore a piano based collage, allowing songs and ideas to blend into each other. Weeze is also the director and lead curator for Ambient Pasta, the creative community event and production company based in Brooklyn, NY.

Along the way she has sung in a choir featured on an EP by Sufjan Stevens, collaborated with a British brass band and released 10 solo albums. Her music has been described as “surprisingly contemporary, or rather, timeless. As in timelessly beautiful songs, singing, and arrangements.”

    Worldwide Seagull • Peaceful Faces Jan 16

    7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation

     

    Worldwide Seagull is a song-art project brined in humility, solitude, and truth – a take on humanness, in an alternate verse. Look closely, and you’ll notice we both drink fresh water… She strives to provide care and healing, living off her songs amidst an abundance of candles, with a high chance of having a hot tub in her apartment one day!  A native of California and based in Brooklyn, Anna Abondolo is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans music, movement, visual art, and theater. Curious about individual experience, her work investigates memory, spatial environments, and their relationship to the physical body. Anna uses a combination of traditional notation, graphic scores, and text, writing for instrumental ensembles, vocalists, electronics, song, and bodies. 

    Peaceful Faces is a Brooklyn band that combines finger-picked guitar with vulnerable lyrics, sneaky chord progressions and warm brass arrangements. Tree Palmedo writes the songs and a crew of crack NYC instrumentalists helps make them better. Their most recent album, Sifting Through The Goo, Reaching For The Candlelight, was released in 2023, and their follow-up is due in 2025.

    7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation

    While his quartet has been described as “the work of a band that’s developed the kind of telepathy only the road can build . . . there’s a late ’70s-early ’80s feel to the music throughout, more akin to the ‘stadium jazz’ of V.S.O.P. or Milestone-era McCoy Tyner” (Philip Freeman, The NYC Jazz Record), trumpeter and composer Michael Sarian has been praised for his “unique compositional and instrumental voice” (Friedrich Kunzmann, All About Jazz) and his “endlessly renewable strain of lyric improvisation regardless of context or material.” (Peter Margasak, Downbeat Magazine).

    Born in Toronto and raised in Buenos Aires, Michael relocated to NYC in 2012, and has performed at some of the most iconic international stages, including the Montreux Jazz Festival, Kennedy Center, Teatro Colón in Argentina, Blue Note Jazz Club, Jazz at Lincoln Center, BRIC JazzFest, and Central Park SummerStage. He has appeared on WNYC’s Soundcheck with John Schaefer, NPR’s World Cafe, and many more.

Her timeless lyrics and virtuosic guitar playing are grounded in traditional Celtic and American folk repertoire.
