9pm- Chris J. Connolly
Genre: Alternative/Folk/Rock/Pop
For fans of: Neil Young, Radiohead, James Taylor, Amos Lee

Weaving between two continents, Chris J. Connolly’s music has been his support system and a reflection of his journeys. Originally from Staffordshire, England, Chris spent his early years performing in hometown venues before eventually crossing the Atlantic to reside in his current home on Long Island. Inspired by both early American roots music and modern alt-rock, Chris grew to craft his own unique style of writing and phrasing that moves between sublime, evolving and hook based melodies.

"Chris J Connolly is the kind of artist who can create cuts as emotionally affecting as 'Not Alone' and 'Black Swan,' and the impossibly lovely 'Can We Go Now' without getting stuck in the tar pit of sentimentality." - The Big Takeover Magazaine, issue #76

"a rewarding listen (that) packs some impressive emotional heft and compelling songwriting... top-notch pop/folk fusion that’s pure ear candy" - hotindienews.com

10pm- Mindtroll
Genre: Post-Punk, Art-Punk
For fans of: B-52s, Le Tigre, Hunx

MINDTROLL is an art-punk trio featuring bass, accordion, drums, lots of strange lyrics and really good costumes. They crept up from the Gowanus Canal in early 2010 and have since spent their time honing their inscrutable sound, which is not unlike the angriest children's choir. In 2013, they released a sprawling collection of home recordings called “And That’s Just Some Of the Good Ones” where the song topics range from shopping at Williams-Sonoma to a battle between a Mega-Shark and a Crocsaurous. In 2016, they will release their next album “So Many Boyfriends”, which touches on more mature topics like how magic is real and not wanting to go to your friends’ wedding.

"It's like a magic trick - as a band" - Kathleen Hanna

"Brilliant, withering critiques of whatever is going on around them at any given moment, set to lo-fi, no wave-y, vaguely dance-y music" - Joel Tannenbaum (PunkNews.org)

11pm-Mike O'Malley and the Beastie Band
Genre: Screamer-Songwriter.
For fans of: Tom Waits, Glen Hansard, The Decemberists, Fiona Apple

Mike O'Malley carries a lot of anger around. He endeavors to funnel said extra energy into a rollicking, kinetic set of folk songs for drinking, howling, and stomping to. He would specifically love to howl with you.
