    Hayfitz Farewell Show w carol and h. pruz Mar 23

    7:30 Door 8:00 Show $15 adv/$18 *cash* door

    More Than a Goodbye, the debut album from New York-based artist Carol, started the day that a lot of things ended. On March 13th, 2020, Carolyn Flaherty and her band at the time were driving from New York City to Boston for a show that proved to be their last before the entire world shut down. As the world stopped completely, Carol suddenly had more time than ever to write, reflect, and grow artistically and as a person. In late 2020, she released Soiled, an EP that captured her traversal through inner turmoil to be on the precipice of something new and, hopefully, beautiful. More Than A Goodbye feels like the answer to Soiled’s cliffhanger: A mature but cathartic testament to love in the future, present, and past tense that features Carol’s brightest and most realized songwriting to date.

    h. pruz is the solo project of Brooklyn based singer-songwriter Hannah Pruzinsky (they/she). h.pruz released their debut EP “again, there” in late 2022 via Oof Records.   The collection of songs is a front porch with wind chimes sounding; a nap on the couch on a summer afternoon; a pair of dirty hands in compost, letting dead things turn into something richer, kinder.  h. pruz expects to release their first full length album in late 2023

    A self-proclaimed purveyor of ‘gentle folk’ Hayfitz crafts delicate songs about the most delicate of subjects. Fresh off of his self-produced 2020 debut, Capsules, the Brooklyn based multi-instrumentalist is now deep into a second full length record exploring the complex journey of coming into his new-found queer identity.

    7:30 Door 8:00 Show $12.00 suggested donation

     
    Hailing from a small hamlet on the western seaboard called Los Angeles, Jean Marie is a lyrical singer-songwriter who has wowed both her mother and various roommates with how softly she can sing. Her quiet guitar playing is envied worldwide by baby spiders and cotton balls. Her gentle approach and intrepid spirit has brought her to stages as far away as Japan, Australia, South Korea and Vietnam. Jean Marie is a seasoned vet of playing bar shows in the US where drunken converts have slurrily compared her to Neil Young, Yo La Tengo and Young Marble Giants.
     

    Over the past two decades, Ben Kamen has created music for a variety of formats and genres — from chamber music to multi-channel sound installations to folk and post-rock.  His 2022 album, “Watershed,” his first collection of new songs in over a decade, is an exploration of timbre and memory inspired by daily walks through the temperate rainforest near his home in Olympia, WA.  

     
    Michael Rocketship is a keyboardist/composer/improviser living in Brooklyn, NY. He spends time leading his own groups (Michael Rocketship, CavityFang, Visuals) or playing, recording and touring in a wide variety of other people’s projects (Ben Goldberg, Dida Pelled, Sam Evian). When not playing keyboard instruments, Michael works as a recording engineer at Figure 8 Recording.

    Scivic Rivers & Aisle Knot March 26

    7:30 Door 8:00 Show $12.00 suggested donation

    Aisle Knot is a four-piece band from Brooklyn, New York. They hope to make exciting, resonant music and enjoy the unique thrill of the live setting. Their debut full band album is due out later this year.

    Scivic Rivers is the new musical nom de plume of American singer-songwriter Randy Bickford (fka The Strugglers and Brice Randall Bickford). The new self-titled album is his seventh full-length and was produced with his longtime collaborator Scott Solter (Mountain Goats, Spoon).  Bickford’s songs have earned him wide recognition from fellow lifer musicians and critics alike. Pitchfork has described his writing as “tracing a single thought or sketching a single image throughout the course of several bars, building suspense and making you wait patiently for the pay-off”. In a review of the new album, Indyweek writes, “Bound by the yearning of Bickford’s honeyed and hypnotic baritone, Scivic Rivers ponders questions that are big, unknowable, and universal with arrangements that are consistently immersive and engaging.”

    Grammy® Nominee Sara Caswell “is a brilliant world-class violinist…one of the very best of the present generation of emerging young jazz stars” according to the late David Baker, internationally-renowned jazz educator and Director of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra. Rooted in an early exposure to a variety of musical genres, Sara’s technical facility intertwined with her gift for lyricism continue to attract growing attention to her artistry as a jazz soloist, sideman, and teacher.

    Sam Sadigursky's Solomon Diaries • Danny Fox Trio record release event

    7:30 Door 8:00 Show $12.00 suggested donation

    Songs of freedom, rebellion, celebration, tradition, independence, loss, hope, decay and renewal – this is the music of Sam Sadigursky’s The Solomon Diaries, featuring accordionist Nathan Koci. Originally inspired by the fascinating rise and fall of the Borscht Belt, Sadigursky’s unique take on Jewish music combines numerous folk, world and jazz influences with a classical sense of harmony and deep love of improvisation.  “While the music often returns to klezmer and Yiddish modes, it is never confined by them, and Sadigursky refrains from relying on traditional sounds or nostalgia. In its totality, the instrumental cycle addresses the 20th-century American Jewish experience, but its spirit is generous and open enough to reflect that of any population of immigrants and refugees, transcending the particular to address the promises of the American dream, both realized and broken.” – Chronogram
     
     
    Danny Fox Trio- Time Took Care of It album release party
    Celebrating its 15th anniversary, the Danny Fox Trio, featuring pianist Danny Fox, bassist Chris van Voorst van Beest, and drummer Max Goldman, is a true working band hailed for reinventing the classic piano trio format with genre-defying, uniquely personal original music. Whether holed up in a Brooklyn basement rehearsing or touring around the country crammed into a sedan, the trio has spent countless hours developing a rapport that’s immediately palpable in their music.  Described as a modern-day Ahmad Jamal Trio, the band mixes tight ensemble playing with interactive, attuned improvisation.  Drawing on influences as varied as Ellington, Bartok, and The Meters, the music can switch gears at any moment yet remains cohesive thanks to strong motivic development and rigorous arrangements that challenge the traditional roles of the piano trio instruments.  Hailed as “changing the sound and expectation of a jazz piano trio” (WNYC) and “cool but not modish” (NY Times), the band is set to release its fourth album “Time Took Care of It” in April 2023.

    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.

    Matt Bachmann • Brittain Ashford April 13

    7:30 Door 8:00 Show $12.00 suggested donation

     

    Matt Bachmann (b. 1988, Chicago) is a social worker/musician whose music is a marriage of long form repetitive instrumental music and songwriting music. Maybe best known for his bass plucking in Mega Bog, Jeff Tobias’ Recurring Dream Band and with the Ed Askew band, Bachmann brings the gentleness and touch of his bass playing to his synthwork and shaky voice. He has released three records on Owen Ashworth’s (Advance Based) tight knit Chicago based label, Orindal Records, including Dream Logic which was released in 2021.

    While Brittain Ashford has spent much of her career recording and touring in support of her original music, her unlikely appearance in the Broadway musical The Great Comet of 1812 took her a slightly different direction. Lin-Manuel Miranda once suggested that she could “sing while he wept into a bucket” and The New York Times said she should have been nominated for a Tony. Decidedly “not a theatre person” she has returned to writing and performing her own music; her forthcoming album, Trotter, will be out May 19 on Misra Records.

    Diamond Grinder • Wila Frank • Verboten Apr 16

    7:00 Door 7:30 Show $12.00 suggested donation

        

    Diamond Grinder is a New York-based folk-rock band formed in 2021 by Margaret Nygard and Eli Recht-Appel, whose songwriting partnership traces back to first attempts during their high school days in San Francisco, California. After many years of off-and-on collaboration between the pair, Nygard moved to New York City in the summer of 2021, where Recht-Appel had lived for the past five years. The two, both residing in the Ridgewood neighborhood of Queens, began to write music together frequently, overtime generating the material for their forthcoming debut album produced by Jared Samuel and Ian “Skinny” Salazar.

    Wila Frank makes music that’s searching, cinematic, and introspective with scalpel-like precision. With her forthcoming debut album, the 24-year-old Nashville-based songwriter immediately sets a mesmerizing mood that showcases her evocative lyricism as well as her tasteful ear as a multi-instrumentalist and producer blending delicate indie folk with visceral alternative rock.

    Verboten tinkers with the old 60s-era pop song formula, combining late-Beatles/Elliott-style songwriting with distinctive modern touches of synthesizers and drum machines to create a dark, but inviting interior world of music. Verboten (Foster Powell) is based in Vermont.

    h. pruz is the solo project of Brooklyn based singer-songwriter Hannah Pruzinsky (they/she). h.pruz released their debut EP “again, there” in late 2022 via Oof Records.  
    The collection of songs is a front porch with wind chimes sounding; a nap on the couch on a summer afternoon; a pair of dirty hands in compost, letting dead things turn into something richer, kinder.

    Elijah Berlow (Hemlock) is a Chicago-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist folk musician.
    Originating from pastoral roots in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, Berlow is a playful story-teller with a narrative style grounded in the traditions of Americana music. As a vocalist, he emanates a sincere warmth through his thoughtful phrasing; and his diligent fingerpicking guitar-style leads steadily through the pulsing catharsis of any song. Berlow creates music that is complex, soulful and in conversation with a
    rich rhythmic history. His music can currently be found on all streaming platforms including the newly self-released EP “Put Out Fires”(2022).

    7:30 Door 8:00 Show $12.00 adv / $15.00 door May 20

       

    Poppy Patica was started by Peter Hartmann as a solo rock project in Oberlin, OH in 2014. The project has taken the form of full bands and various collaborations in Hartmann’s hometown, Washington D.C., as well as on tour around the country, including New York and Oakland, CA where Hartmann is now based. After several short releases, ranging from layered psych-pop, to dancey drum machine tracks, to stripped down acoustic songs, the first full length Poppy Patica studio album, Black Cat Back Stage, is out on May 5th via House of Joy. The album was recorded with a full band in D.C. in February of 2020. More recently, Poppy Patica recorded another full length album in the fall of 2022 with Nate Mendelsohn (Market), as well as an EP with Paco Cathcart (The Cradle).
     
    Broken Every Angle is the solo project of Tom Kearney. On “Telling Pattern”, his latest release (CEE-07), he combines avant garde soundscapes with rootsy guitar compositions, using a lyrical style that is by turns whimsical and psychedelic, yearning and nostalgic. Tom lives and books DIY shows in Mexico City’s thriving underground experimental music scene.
     
    On their debut for Western Vinyl, Nate Mendelsohn and his band Market use lyrical maximalism for the powers of good.  On “The Consistent Brutal Bullshit Gong” Mendelsohn and his band carve out space for his words to speak through with humor and intensity. Guitars and synthesizers tangle fluidly over top of the rhythm section’s tight bedrock. Outside of Market, Mendelsohn has recorded and produced for artists like Frankie Cosmos, Dougie Poole, and Wendy Eisenberg, and played with Yaeji, Vagabon, Katie Von Schleicher (who co-produced the album with him), and Sam Evian (who mixed it).

    Balance • Anna Webber/ Matt Mitchell duo Jul 15

    7:30 Door 8:00 Show $12.00 adv / $15.00 door May 20

     

    Balance is a collaborative duo between saxophonist Marcus Elliot and pianist Michael Malis. Called “among the most compelling Detroit jazz musicians of their generation,” Elliot and Malis’ “intuitive improvisations” stand on the threshold of composed and improvised music. Their 2022 sophomore album, Conjure, was called “one of the best contemporary jazz records to come out of Detroit in quite some time” (Hour Detroit Magazine.) In 2017, they released their eponymous debut record, which was praised by the Detroit Metro Times as “contemporary jazz of the highest order, a benchmark for where the genre can go.”

    Anna Webber (flute/tenor sax) and Matt Mitchell (piano) have been playing music together for over 10 years in various projects, including in Anna’s Simple Trio and Clockwise Septet, and Matt’s Pouting Grimace and Sprees. However, this is the first time that they have collaborated as a duo. They will be premiering a set of new music, with music written by both Matt and Anna.
