WEDNESDAY 5/27
8pm- Alan Getto
Genre: Folk/Rock
For fans of: The Tallest Man on Earth, The Avett Brothers, Bob Dylan, Dr. Dog, Deer Tick, The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Fahey, Tom Waits, The Mountain Goats, Nick Drake, Ryan Adams, Jeff Buckley
A lot of diverse influences and favorite artists, but it all condenses in to a Martin guitar and a voice, with something personal carried over. It's folk because it's an acoustic guitar, but it's rock because it's got balls.
"Alan has played many times at The Wheelhouse and always puts on a great show. He's an extremely talented singer/songwriter and will do well in the Brooklyn folk scene." - Derek Sheiring, The Wheelhouse

9pm- Ball of Flame Shoot Fire
Genre: experimental rock
For fans of: Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson, Steely Dan, and Neil Young
Ball of Flame Shoot Fire began as a teenage rock band in the suburbs of Pittsburgh before gradually morphing into an experimental ensemble that mixes jazz, rock, country, folk, and more. Since their formation, they have had the opportunity to share the stage with acts like Grizzly Bear, Yeasayer, Man Man, Mates of State, and Here We Go Magic. In 2010, the L Magazine named them one of the "Top 8 Bands to Watch" in New York City. Their newest album, 'Tis Only Wine, moves fluidly between synth-drenched new wave, psychedelic baroque pop, and avant-garde collages, all while maintaining their signature attention to songwriting and distinctive arrangements.
"Ball of Flame Shoot Fire insert themselves in a bizarre, originality-driven musical tradition with a poppy approach to songwriting, filtering the results with chaotic Captain Beefheart-ish influences. The outcome is charmingly soulful, slightly crooked, and entertainingly unpredictable orchestral pop." - The Deli
"Ball of Flame Shoot Fire is worth checking out." - Magnet

10pm- Ol' Savannah
Genre: Folk/Roots/Americana
For fans of: Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits

Budde, the 5-piece band plumbs the depths of old time mountain music and Americana roots music. Punk and metal fans also like Ol’ Savannah, strange as it may seem. That is to say, this ain’t your ordinary singer/songwriter stuff. Regardless of what you call it, Ol’ Savannah just tries to sing the truth!
“The right blend of folk and Americana!”
“[Ol’ Savannah] are a breath of fresh air with their slightly off kilter take on hillbilly music that blends so much more without ever losing sight of those roots.”

For fans of: Fountains of Wayne, They Might Be Giants, Warren Zevon, The Kinks, Robyn Hitchcock, the Ramones, the Flaming Lips, Devo, the B-52s, Jonathan Richman, Violent Femmes, Ian Dury, Nick Lowe, and Life in a Blender.
Brooklyn’s inimitable Kenny Young and the Eggplants play intergalactic folk-and-roll songs about giant squirrels, scary bits of cheese, aliens, time travel, inebriated crime-solving birds, and malevolent washing machines, among other important topics. Their spaceship has frequently landed in the UK, where they won a prestigious Herald Angel Award for their performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, and where one of their live radio sessions was selected for a Best of the BBC Archives series. In NYC, the Eggplants received an Honorable Mention from Pop Matters for their performance at the CMJ Festival, and they were recognized with a Special Mention in a BMI songwriting competition for their monsterpiece, "The House at Creepy Lake." The most improbable honor for the band so far occurred in the pages of Time Magazine, where the author Alexander McCall Smith included the Eggplants in his "Short List" of favorite artistic discoveries. The Eggplants have recorded five albums, which have been played profusely on local station WFMU, and which have careened onto the Top 30 charts at various other college radio stations across North America.
"The Eggplants mix brainy, funny lyrics with a fine sense of what makes pop music wonderful." -- Dr. Demento
"Gentle insanity with irresistible tunes" -- The Herald
“The naivete Kenny wears on his sleeve is genuine - think of an East Village Brian Wilson, without the money but still tilted in his own wacked-out way.” -- Village Voice
“Giving eloquent voice to the multifaceted neuroses of prolonged adolescence” -- The New York Times

11pm- Sean Kershaw
Genre: Rockabilly, jump blues, honkytonk
For fans of: Hasil Adkins, CCR, Southern Culture on the Skids, Link Wray, White Stripes, Homer Henderson
From growling gutteral Link Wray-style rock'n'roll to sweet country ballads, Sean Kershaw handles it all with a telecaster and a Kick drum made from an old suitcase. This is dancin' around the room, cryin' in your beer, shootin' tin cans off the fence kinda music. Guaranteed to please deep down in your soul and a few other parts as well.
"Baritone country crooner Sean Kershaw‘s new album The Aussie Sessions is arguably his best – and he’s been writing good songs for a long time. His first New York band, the Blind Pharaohs, hung out on the shadowy side of rockabilly. Since then, Kershaw has gone in more of a classic honkytonk and western swing direction with his band the New Jack Ramblers. This one goes deep into the noir, from Texas to Tennessee – except that it was recorded in that hotbed of edgy music, Melbourne, Australia." (Lucid Culture Dec 2013)

FRIDAY 5/29

Genre: Indie Rock
For fans of: Built to Spill, The Mountain Goats
Duckspeak is a four-piece indie rock band from New York City. Combining folk, pop, and 90's rock influences, Duckspeak juxtapose upbeat music with reflective lyrics about memory. You'll dance and think about how you can never escape your past. It'll be a good time, ultimately.
"Whilst there is a wistful whimsical air to Duckspeak, there is equally some solid granite that attracts the ears. The morose, reflective timbres are imbued with
luxurious layers of instrumentation as electric powered kit meets with
acoustic sound generators to provide the audience with folds of cotton
in which to enjoy the compositions." ~ Emerging Indie Bands

9pm- Gretchen & The Pickpockets
Genre: Alt. Rock
For fans of: Lake Street Dive, Amy Winehouse, Fleetwood Mac
Hailing from Durham, New Hampshire, Gretchen & the Pickpockets is a band whose unique blend of rock, jazz, and soul - coupled with an insatiable appetite for playing shows in New England and elsewhere - has gotten them a great deal of attention in a short amount of time.
“...I came across a band that has to be one of the most unique musical groups I’ve heard in years; and that is no exaggeration.” — Danielle Cooper, TBubble
“I loved Gretchen and the Pickpockets debut EP, “Stop,” which was released in 2013. Loved it. I’m so happy they didn’t stop there. Why? Because I LOVE their debut self-titled full-length. This is one of the most promising young bands on the Seacoast, and (I seem to say this a lot – which is testament to the quality that exists here … ) one of the most promising young bands in existence today. Anywhere. Big on rock, big on soul, big on fun. Those are the keys to an excellent band, and an excellent record.” — Christopher Hislop, Seacoast Online

For fans of: Beck, Tom Waits, R.L. Burnside, Jack White
After playing in numerous bands and serving as a vocalist/percussionist for the long running off-broadway show De La Guarda, Collin struck out on his own creating his own unique musical gumbo. Collin jumps from deep blues, folk standards, his own songs, and even some 80's one hit wonders. Collin's wrote the score for the film "Objects Attack!" which is currently winning awards and taking names on the independent festival circuit. He can also be seen warbling and making quite a racket in the show Fuerza Bruta currently playing in Union Square.

With the recent release of her third studio album, "Our Time Was Here We Just Forgot to Be", Robbins makes a rockier departure from her first two albums ("Wet Behind the Ears" & "The Other Side of the World"). She growls and snarls her way through stories of haunted Brooklyn streets, changing seasons, and a lovers insanity all with a touch of sensitivity and heartache. 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.

9pm- Richard Bryant
Genre: Singer/songwriter
For fans of: Cash/Dylan/Waits/Earle/Hank
Richard Bryant drives his guitar down found highways, through lost hedges and back alleys, even straying way over in the Territory prowling for the odd chord or dying note that might give shape to some musical notion he’s taken. He found a minor sixth chord in Arkansas once, but traded it for a flat fiver on Staten Island. Prying ears might hear a Luther Perkins lick leaning into a jazz cliché, all propped up by Howlin’ Wolf’s kickstand, replete with rack harmonica chugging nervously like a Hummer waiting for a tune-up. For all that, the tunes are hummable. Bryant takes leave of the ordinary, except when the ordinary serves his purpose.
“#197 with a bullet!” according to Dave Miller’s ranking of “The Waltz of the Blue Devils” at nothingbutgoodthings.blogspot.com – top 300 songs of the 1990s – a tune Bryant created (seems like only) yesterday.

8pm- Hamin Reed
Genre: Acoustic
For fans of: Elliott Smith, Tool
Hamin Reed [hay min reid] conveys love & hate, dark & light, everything between & everything outside, and what it means to the human psyche. Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1984, he has been performing regularly solo or with different musicians from all over the world. Currently based in New York City.
"An acoustic artist who challenges the notions of wood, strings, and sentiment. . . Just as much a slap in the face of your "folky" values as it is an embrace of humanity song, craft, and experiment." -- Jason Medina (Producer/Promoter, Transient Authority)
"Jeff Andrade's musical project Hamin Reed goes unparalleled in its diversity of sound and talent. His voice is warm and heartbreaking on ballads and he can rock harder than any hardcore musician I've seen. The lyrics are thought provoking and emotionally moving to whimsically entertaining. Hamin Reed crosses a plethora of genres with a facility that does not make their performances seem disjointed. It is to say that whilst traversing through a variety of styles, there exists a continuity that is never lacking. Hamin Reed is an act that defines what more acts in current state should be, talented, creative and entertaining." -- Daniel Ouellette (Performance Artist, Daniel Ouellette and the Shobijin)
"Get inside the head and heart of one of the most evoking songwriters I have ever encountered. Genius insight to the world and who we are in it. I've been everywhere from Bluebird Cafe in Nashville to The Bitter End in NYC listening to hundreds of songwriters and none have been quite as prodigious as Jeff. He has inspired and ignited me as both a listener and a producer-songwriter. He has been an exquisite new addition to my ipod as well as an amazing addition to my life as a friend. Check him out. You will not regret it." -- Nicole Berkowitz (Producer-songwriter, The Willow Tree)

For fans of: Gogol Bordello meets David Bowie
Upbeat, folky pop songs with world music flavors, sung by a Japanese man with a British accent. Kagero’s sound is a melting pot of tonalities and rhythms from Asia, the Middle East, South America and Eastern Europe -- "Cultural Confusion". Sometimes the songs are beautiful imagery, sometimes sad folk tales, and sometimes silly songs about drinking. But the tunes are always fun, and the show is high energy dancing good time.
"Kagero’s world music goulash is very tasty -- even if you don’t always know what’s you’re eating."
“Rooted in uplifting elements from eclectic origins, "Japanese Gypsy Rock" unites Kagero’s musical influences and talents into a cross-culture dance party.”
