Sachi • Elizabeth Ziman with Adam Minkoff • Ian Axel Jul 27
7:30 Dooors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation
Sachi is a multi-instrumentalist hailing from Las Vegas, NV. A longtime student of classical music, Sachi grew up playing the violin and piano, and eventually earned her degree in Percussion Performance at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University. Since moving to Brooklyn last year, Sachi has turned her attention to writing and singing songs of her own.
Elizabeth and Adam have played together in one form or another since they were in college. And they still get along. And they still really like eachothers musical stylings too. This makes both of their lives just a little bit better than they would be otherwise. They also have a similar sense of humor. Which is helpful. Playing with old friends is the best. Not to say they’re old. But not to say they’re young either.
Ian Axel co-leads the group A Great Big World. True to the meaning of its name, GBW encompasses the artistry of Axel and Chad King as well as the duo’s songwriting, scoring, collaborations, and projects across film, television, animation, theater, and beyond. The world fell in love with their music in 2013, when they delivered “Say Something” with Christina Aguilera. It notably reached 6x-Platinum status, gathered over 1 billion streams, and garnered a 2015 GRAMMY® for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” -

Chrissy RM makes honest and intricate yet simply heartbreaking songs with floating unique guitar parts and beautiful melodies.Avsha’s music is uniquely full, angular, and beautiful.

She doesn’t play alone or sing these songs often though they are very special to her and she loves to do it.Alex DeSimine is Talk Bazaar – both a solo project and a collaborative effort from the scenius of New York. The new album “WHATSPACE?” is the sound of the city’s many dissonances – feeling firmly held in the arms of community while never being able to shrug off the Loneliness, endlessly buzzing from place to place but somehow always stagnant, having everything and nothing to say – and is out August 22nd. -

7:30 Door 8:00 Music $15 suggested donation 
Luke Bergman plays various stringed instruments and currently is focused on arranging songs for pedal steel guitar.Eliana Glass (voice) and Anthony Pearlman (piano) have been close friends and collaborators since first arriving together in New York. Over the years, their collaborative sound has evolved, but it wasn’t until the pandemic of 2020 that they began to truly define their style, through remote recordings, each adding their parts subsequently. With special attention to sparseness and spontaneity, together they play open ballads reminiscent of the symbiotic performances of Jeanne Lee and Ran Blake. For their premiere performance, they will play songs of their own, as well as those they mutually love, from early 19th-century hymns, to Fugazi, to Monk. -

The music of Little Mazarn is a cool float a few feet from the ground through a dimly lit, almost familiar forest. It is quieter than silence, big as everything, still but always moving. If you’ve ever had flying dreams, or an amazing night time bike ride on LSD, this might be a world for you. – Thor Harris -

Emily Hope Price • Allan Pray Sept 20
7:30 Door 8:00 Music $15.00 donation
Allan Pray is a composer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and conceptual artist. His current project “King Cuicatl” is a song cycle and live presentation based on an ancient Aztec ritual wherein a foreign war prisoner was made to impersonate the Aztec God “Tezcatlipoca” for one full year before being sacrificed. Performances of “King Cuicatl” began in Oaxaca, Mexico with a large ensemble of musicians from Oaxaca’s indigenous “Mixtec” tribe, later incorporating the Oaxaca Symphony, and most recently in Mexico City with the Mexican National Symphony. After a series of particularly successful performances and positive national press, Pray and a new 5-piece ensemble began performing “King Cuicatl” throughout the US and beyond.
Pray’s music has been called “majestic” by El Sol de México, “radiant” by The Cincinnati Enquirer, and “epic” by WVXU.
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.

Her solo work resonates with cinematic intensity and imagery – using voice, effects, and layered instrumental composition.

Gemme Laurence • Jess Kerber • Will Orchard Nov 23
7:30 Dooors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation
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.
