Genre: Indie Folk, Singer-Songwriter
For Fans of : Jenny Lewis, Aimee Mann, Patty Griffin, Natalie Merchant, Over the Rhine
Earthy and sweet 70's vocals over indie rhythms and soundscapes, Jo Kroger brings both living room intimacy and cathedral-sized resonance to any room she plays. Long time New Yorker originating in Southwestern Ohio, Kroger has appeared all over the US and parts of Western Europe. If your winter blues have you craving a road trip with an old best friend, Kroger's sound will leave your wanderlust sated and your ears contented. Contemplative melodic storytelling and catchy hooks with guest appearances by Dalton Deschain.
"Jo Kroger possesses a subtler brand of charisma not unlike a singer-songwriter such as Beth Orton or even Joni Mitchell. There’s a vulnerability in the performance that exposes the strength of Kroger’s truth, a quiet confidence that acts as a magnet drawing you in for a closer listen. The best performers don’t have to shout or scream to get their message across; it’s the words left unsung and the spaces between that say the most. With Troubled Night, Jo Kroger leaves the door wide open and invites us to walk through it, sit down and stay for a spell." - Heidi Drockelman, indie-music.com
"Kroger has created a perfect listening album that can be duplicated easily in any type of atmosphere, from a tiny coffee shop to even large venues. Any fans of well-written, passionate folk songs should do themselves a favor and give Troubled Night a listen. " - Kerriann Curtis, WordKrapht

After 15 years collaborating with different producers and artists (Yoad Nevo, Andreas Kleerup) the frontman Niels Nankler invites us to join their space saga “Stars” that was released in 2014.
”The debut Stars is likeable and genuine, includes tender feelings and perhaps even contributes to an occasional smile. It should get a well deserved place in the spotlight.”- http://gaffa.se/recension/84461
”Stars is an wonderful piece of art that is easy on the ears and beckons to be listen to time and time again.”- http://therockoffice.com/audio.html

11pm- Maynard & the Musties
Genre: Country-Rock-Americana
For fans of: Whiskeytown, Hayes Carll, John Prine
I grew up in Nashville, in a certain era, and reach back to ca. 1967 when Dylan met Cash. It was a period where everyone read the Bible, yet maintained individual, incomprehensible moral codes that constantly were shifted according to personal and momentary use. What blossomed was heartbreak and sorrow.

Midnight Special- Margo Cilker
Genre: Americana/ singer-songwriter
For fans of: Gillian Welch, John Prine, Neil Young, Caitlin Rose, Emmy Lou Harris, The Band
Margo Cilker is a young songwriter, but one who's been hitting the road for a while now. Studying anthropology in South Carolina instilled a little bit of southern twang into her music. A year in the Basque Country offered her first musical home, where she played country music in bars. Now in and out of her native Californian state, Margo is dipping into touring artist mode. She's happiest swimming in the South Fork of the Trinity River: a close second is sitting on a barstool sharing original songs and old favorites from Bob Dylan and John Prine to The Band.

With the lyrical prose of Aimee Mann and the voice of Etta James, “Our Time was Here…” provides the perfect balance of whiskey swigging rock and gin sipping soul.

8pm- TheLoveHowl
Genre: Blues-Rock
For fans of: Deer Tick, The Black Keys, Brandi Carlile
Amy Sheehan, Alex Sherba, Jonathan Vergara and Jonah Durning-Hammond are bringing back some classic rock and soul to Brooklyn. A project which developed from Sheehan's solo material, the group has morphed into a gutsy rock act with the release of their 5 song EP The Chase in 2013. They were recently featured in The Deli Magazine’s Best of NYC Emerging Artists of 2014 and placed #10 in the readers polls for Best Blues/Revival Rock band. Their song “I Don’t Know Why” appeared on the Season 4 Finale of the FX television series ‘Justified.’ They are set to release a series of singles in the fall in preparation for their debut LP.
“The LoveHowl is kicking up the dust behind raunchy guitars and sultry vocals…At times, the music might kick you in the gut, but don’t worry: They’ll be there to help you out when you’re down. Down-home tracks like ‘I Don’t Know Why’ never hurt so good.” – The Deli Magazine
“This EP [The Chase] consists of five gritty songs which all contain an overall essence of easy but edgy rock, although each track manages to stand apart from the next. All five pieces have catchy melodies and an abundance of backbone, which makes them go-to selections for those days when you may need a bit of a brazen musical pick-me-up.” – Blues Rock Review
“24 provides a smooth, yet energetic backdrop for Sheehan’s sultry voice, which could easily compete with Gwen Stefani’s, pre-No Doubt breakup.” - New York Social Status

Everynight Charley's Manhattan Beat , Saturday, October 5, 2013
"More than a novelty band, the TarantinosNYC is a cleverly-conceived music event – a soundtrack to a night at the movies without sorting through the film’s plot intrigues."
New York Music Daily
New York Surf City by delarue, 8/8/2012
"By half past eleven, the TarantinosNYC had taken the stage. They have the kind of chemistry that comes from constant gigging and the kind of diverse, cinematic sound their name implies. And they don’t just do songs from Tarantino movies: this particular show featured a lot of unpredictable, anthemic originals, a digression into Link Wray … and finally a majestically lurid version of ... You Only Live Twice."

Akin to a mix tape made from his uncles old vinyl collection, Damian Quiñones and his band "El Conjunto" are sonically funky, expansive and colorful. Quiñones songwriting is a heady stew of 60's rock and roll, Nuyorican funk, with a nice helping of tropicalia, and Afro-Caribbean sounds to boot.
"Damian Quiñones y Su Conjunto’s new album Gumball Ma-Jumbo - streaming in its entirety online - is a masterpiece of tunesmithing, an intricate mix of oldschoollate 60s style psychedelic soul, rock and pop spiced with salsa, luscious horn charts, bubbling keys and nasty guitars."-Lucid Culture
