We're psyched to have Clandestine in the house setting the groove for a six show residency. Funk, jazz, rock, special guests, and booty-shakin' good times!

Inspired by retro-rock of the 70's mixed with hints of modern folk Horsefly Gulch members have their roots seeded deep within the New England music scene. Branching off from a popular New Hampshire metal band the trio diverges from the heavy side of things but still manages to keep its roots firmly on the ground.

Other Brother Darryl, the 2024 Boston Music Award Country Artist of the Year, are a seven piece, Boston-based alt-country supergroup. The band of brothers, playing a style they call cosmic canyon rock, includes a list of veteran singer-songwriters and local luminaries. They are Dan Nicklin (vocals, harmonica, percussion), Nate Leavitt (vocals, acoustic guitar), Dan Cederholm (drums), Chad Raleigh (multi-instrumentalist), Derek Feeney (acoustic guitar), Dave Lieb (keyboard, vocals), Jim Collins (bass, vocals) and Dave Mirabella (spiritual guidance). 

First coming together over a love of big folk harmonies, the cosmic canyon rock sound of The Jayhawks and Wilco, and the television series Newhart, the seeds of Other Brother Darryl were first conceptualized back in 2012 at the defunct Somerville rock club Radio, where each member would perform frequently with their respective projects. An endless string of conversations, local Boston rock shows, and beers would line the next several years, and in 2019, Other Brother Darryl would make good on a promise to each other to bring their collective creative vision to life and write and record the album they were always meant to.  

Kier Byrnes & The Kettle Burners are a high-octane blend of face melting accordion and chicken pickin’ electric guitar. Winners of a New England Music Award for “Americana Act of the Year”, the Kettle Burners have performed at multiple festivals and even shared some bills with a few national acts (Willie Nelson, Old Crow Medicine Show, Hank Williams Jr., John Mellencamp, The Mavericks and Fastball).

Kier Byrnes, frontman of the group, has been all over the globe thanks to music; touring in over 17 countries. He has performed in the Middle East for the troops, at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, and a Johnny Cash-style gig at a Belgian prison. At a private show for Jim Beam Whiskeys in Clermont, Kentucky, Byrnes and his band were rewarded with a personal tour of the distillery by none other than the great grandson (and Master Distiller) of Jim Beam.

Kier Byrnes is joined by The Kettle Burners (Jason McGorty, Monica Sager, Joe Miller, Dan DiBacco & Brian Lilienthal); a spirited country band that effortlessly merges the rootsy sounds of traditional country music with the enchanting melodies of Irish folk. Their heartfelt performances weave stories of love, loss, and life’s trials with an irresistible blend of twangy guitars, lively bass, driving drums and the soulful warmth of accordion. With their infectious energy and undeniable chemistry on stage, these musicians create an immersive musical experience of whiskey-soaked ballads and foot-stomping jigs.

Cryin' Caleb Aaron is a singing, songwriting, guitar-playing one-man band from Maine. Playing his own style of roots rock 'n' roll/country/twang/punk, his influences creep out from the shadows stretched over several decades of underground song, from Hank Williams to Bo Diddley, Sinéad O’Connor to The Gun Club, and Dead Moon to Leadbelly. With equal parts cynicism and pathos, his melodic, rousing songs are almost always laced with desperation, dealing with existential crisis, lonesomeness, regret, alienation, love, and armageddon.

Michael Prewitt 

Hi there, I'm Michael Prewitt. You might know me as a mandolin player who toured with the Grammy-nominated ensemble Special Consensus for a few years. Having recorded two albums in 2024 as a frontman, I'm taking my songs, and my excellent band (including Max Wareham, of Peter Rowan Band) out on the road.

Drawing inspiration from the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s, the funk-infused sounds of the '70s, and "modern" rock The Trichomes pay homage to their musical forebears while carving out a distinct and electrifying sound of their own. With influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix and Funkadelic to King Gizzard and Vulfpeck, the band seamlessly blends vintage vibes with a modern sensibility, resulting in a sound that is simultaneously timeless and cutting-edge.

Dysfunktone was formed in 2015, in a garage in East Rockaway, New York. What began from a shared interest in funky music, sushi, and noise complaints, evolved over time into a full-fledged progressive jam-funk outfit that pushes the boundaries of genre and sound as far as they possibly can. Dysfunktone is best known for their complex musical arrangements, huge dynamic changes at the drop of a dime, and ability to weave extended improvisational sequences into any song in their catalogue, as well as their unique interpretations of the music of their many various influences.

Mono Means One is a psychedelic prog trio and the brainchild of bassist and composer John Ferrara, best known as the bass player and co-founder of the acclaimed world fusion band “Consider the Source.” Mono Means One’s sound contains melancholic melodies, rich sonic textures with Drum 'N’ Bass grooves and Mathrock sensibilities. Half composed and half improvised, the music is often dark, sometimes bright and other times heavy, oscillating between chill grooves to almost unbearable intensity. Originally composed entirely on the bass guitar, John paired up with Rob Madore (Drums) and Isaac Young (Keys), of Connecticut's amazing PX3 to borrow some of their “Futuristic Synth-Driven Madness” to help bring layers and textures to these compositions that fill rooms across the Northeast.

We're excited to welcome Frenzie and Canopy, two groovy, funky, and soulful rock fusion trios.

With the belief that music is meant for taking risks, Canopy brings a raw, unfiltered approach to the live music scene. Their sound combines the core elements of rock, funk, blues, and jazz and infuses them with deep psychedelia and hard-hitting, no-rules improvisation. Tight and loose in all the right ways.

Frenzie is a trio from southern Maine that dives into the soulful end of the rock fusion spectrum, where few have dared to go. Get ready to boogie.

An insane double bill featuring some rocket ride jamtronica from The Edd and a display of high-end shreddery from Leon Trout.  

With deep grooves and heavy down-tuned riffs, this hard-hitting four-piece has no shortage of catchy hooks. Paired with an in-your-face live show, TRAWL has sunken its teeth into the New England rock and metal scene. The band has released 3 EPs to date. Their latest EP, "Cosmic Aquatic," was the #1 best-selling local release of the year at Bull Moose record stores in 2023 (a network of 11 brick-and-mortar stores across Maine and New Hampshire). Trawl has recently supported acts like Anthrax, Black Label Society, Nonpoint, Taproot, Ra, Black Stone Cherry and more. 

Drawing inspiration from humanity's fragile existence, as well as genre-defining bands like Black Sabbath, Kyuss, Electric Wizard, Tool and Clutch, Dust Prophet is poised to take the Stoner & Doom Metal world by storm.  

Dust Prophet’s lyrics (written by Kinzel) draw inspiration from the graphic imagery of classic literary works like the epic poem Paradise Lost, Gothic writers Flannery O’Connor, Ray Russell, & apocalyptic Biblical legends. The music strives to blend the band’s love of 70’s Psychedelic drug rock with down tuned, riff focused metal and hypotonic rhythm patterns. 

Hobo Wizard - Hailing from the rocky hillsides and dark woods of New Hampshire, this duo of brothers has joined forces to overstep the bounds of genre and smash whatever box you may try to put them in.

Wolfman Jack is a live music project of musicians form the New England area performing the psychedelic and electrifying Live/Dead to Europe 72’ era of the Grateful Dead.

Primal Dead refers to the era of Grateful Dead between 1965-1972. This is when the Dead were first cutting their teeth as a bay area rock band and exploring the psychedelic depths of the music in which they live and breathe.
