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.

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 rueful 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.

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.

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.

Henry Grant • Kyle Morgan • Katy Pinke May 31
7:30 Doors 8:00 Music $15.00 suggested donation
Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Kyle Morgan grew up in central Pennsylvania, where he spent countless Sunday mornings amidst the broken strains and coffee breath of his church congregation. His first record, Starcrossed Losers, became the alias under which he would go on to release two more, Bind Us Anew and Strange Hesitations, each featuring his distinctive conglomeration of Americana styles, from stripped-down acoustic ballads and love-lorn parlor laments to roaring alt-country and throwback 60’s rock’n’roll. In 2022, Morgan released his label debut, Younger At Most Everything, on Team Love Records. His newest record, Ghost of a Problem, will be out June, 2025..
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.

Martin Nevin • Trevor Dunn's PROOF Readers Jul 13
7:30
Trevor Dunn put PROOF Readers together with the sole purpose of playing the beautiful & often neglected song book of Ornette Coleman. In 1993 the release of the complete Atlantic recordings “Beauty Is A Rare Thing” served as a catalyst for me in transcribing over 50 Ornette tunes. That endeavor in itself was a learning experience that informed my own writing in terms of form, variation, melody, and improvisation and led me towards an understanding of his harmolodic approach. The name PROOF Readers came from an unreleased song of the same name. Both Ornette’s musical & verbal language toy with syntax in their inimitable variation of normal harmony/grammar.
tha band is: Trevor Dunn (bass), Darius Jones (alto), Nate Wooley (trumpet), Ryan Sawyer (drums)
