9pm- Moondrunk
Genre: Indie Singer/Songwriter
For fans of: The XX, Ben Harper, First Aid Kit
Moondrunk is a New York-based folk trio that jumps from heartbreak to humor before you can finish your whiskey. Andrew Bancroft’s original lyrics and guitar are complemented by Ashley Perez Flanagan’s powerful vocals. The talented multi-instrumentalist Yair Evnine rounds out the group’s sound with professional cello, guitar, looping sounds, and more. If the mood strikes, you may get wrapped up an audience-inspired freestyle rap. Either way, you will hear something new and from the heart.
Andrew Bancroft has been has been featured on Mtv’s TRL and in Rolling Stone and TIME. He has performed alongside Broadway star and band-mate Lin-Manuel Miranda with the popular hip hop group Freestyle Love Supreme.
Yair Evnine has performed in countless venues and shows, include Late Nate with David Letterman and a highly successful tour to Edinburgh and beyond with Lady Rizo.
“Even better, Ashley Perez Flanagan…delivers a sweetly touching ‘Another Suitcase in Another Hall.’” –The New York Times (review of Evita)

10pm- Oh You!
Genre: Alternative Pop
For fans of: Florence + The Machine, Lorde, Sylvan Esso
Oh You! is the sweet spot between the sounds of Florence + The Machine & Lorde. Brooklyn indie pop that’s just a little too catchy to quite fit that title. Although some songs have a darker feel, overall Oh You! delivers a bright, positive and energetic sound.
