March 8 - Spooky Mansion + Samuel Walker

Spooky Mansion is compared to Vampire Weekend, Rolling Stones, and Alabama Shakes and described as “relevant, upbeat, fun and dancy.” Their live shows take this to another level with raucous and rhythmically driven performances.

Samuel Walker is native to West Texas and has been playing music throughout the state since 2012. His music is known for its brooding vocal melodies, layered over melancholic and sometimes haunting arrangements, combining traditional folk with modern electro pop.

Doors at 6pm for this event.

March 10 - Topographies

Formed by Gray Tolhurst (Gray Tolhurst, Coo Coo Birds), Jeremie Ruest (Cerf Volant, Your Friend, Lavender Blush), Justin Oronos (Solip), and Lauren Grubb (Minipop, To The Wedding) in 2017, the band meshes the crushingly loud guitars and hushed vocals of 90’s shoegaze with the urgency and mechanical rhythms of post-punk. Their debut EP was recorded and produced at New, Improved Recording in Oakland, California by Alexis Berthelot (Gojira, Wolfgang Tillmans, Enablers) in late 2017. They are currently at work on a follow-up with producer Monte Vallier (Soft Moon, Wax Idols) due out early 2019.

April 14 - Alex Dupree + ReDeYe

Alex Dupree is a musician and writer living in Los Angeles. For almost fifteen years, his songwriting has plumbed the traditions of folk and country music for inspiration and earned him comparisons to Willie Nelson, Jason Molina, and Tim Buckley by many drunk people. On ‘You Winsome, You Lonesome’, released by Keeled Scales in 2017, lush strings, pianos, and steel guitars provide the backdrop for a set of intimate stories about love and jealousy and the vertigo of freedom.

Of Redeye’s early years in Texas remains an authentic accent and a certain form of sun-kissed melancholy. His 3rd album release, ‘The Memory Layers’, delves deeper into his alternative folk sound, drenching it in a bit of psychedelia. With a baritone drawl reminiscent of The National’s Matt Berninger, Redeye wraps traditional folk with a modern European songwriting sensibility, journeying the listener across various emotional peaks and valleys like a radiant blues warming the soul.
