9pm- Megan Talay
Genre: Power Pop, Indie-Rock
For fans of: Weezer, Blink 182, Fountains of Wayne, The Front Bottoms
Singer-songwriter and guitarist Megan Talay plays punchy power-pop that draws comparisons to 90’s favorites like No Doubt, Blink 182, and Third Eye Blind. Her songs engage audiences with lyrics that are equally cleaver, emotionally vulnerable, and even biting at times. Talay has also won praise for her lead guitar work, stretching out into wah-inflected, blues-influenced solos over the band’s tight rhythm section.

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
