8pm- Matt Booth
Genre: Pop
Matt Booth is a Singer/Songwriter born and raised in Newburgh, NY. His music ranges from Pop and R&B all the way to co-writing country songs. Though Matt lives around a familiarly dangerous place where violence is all around him, he pushes for positivity through his music and he uses that as an outlet to escape from the harsh realities around him. Growing up in such a small town, kids don’t normally have much to do, so lucky for Matt he found music in his formative years so he stayed out of trouble. Matt had been in a band called “The Dedication,” which opened up for acts such as Aaron Carter, Go Radio, This Providence, Before You Exit, and also played on the 2013 Vans Warped Tour on the Ernie Ball stage and the Acoustic Basement Stage. The Dedication placed first in the Ernie Ball Battle of the bands New York Division. Matt began his solo career in 2014 and has been playing shows all over the Tri-state area ever since. He recently released his debut EP called “Made in New York,” which you can find on www.Mattbooth.BandCamp.com.

9pm- Mount Hudson
Genre: Folk, Americana, Songwriter
For fans of: Conor Oberst, Iron & Wine, The Lumineers
Mount Hudson is a folk band and the main songwriting vehicle for Dave Yim. The added warm sounds of an upright bass and slide guitar make you feel welcome at the door. The down-home music reminds you of an intimate time with close friends, while the songs allow you drift and contemplate past loves, future dreams, and the vastness of space. Plucky guitars, lifting harmonies, and a catalog of passionate players accompany songs from the heart, the brain, and the gut.

10pm- Ryan M. Brewer
Genre: Free Range Americana
For fans of: Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, The Weakerthans
A singer-songwriter by trade, Ryan M. Brewer is more accurately described as a traveling musical storyteller. Having always placed the primary importance on lyricism, his songs tend to float effortlessly between genres...each one falling precisely where it needs to in order to most accurately tell the story. And that’s all that matters - songs and stories.
“Ryan M. Brewer is a great songwriter. He writes deep meaningful tunes filled with pathos, cynicism and witty humor - catchy without any pop whitewash. He’s the genuine article.” - Wayne Bertsch, Nuvo.net’s Barfly
”(Ryan’s recent record) ‘trails’ blends the soulfulness of Bon Iver’s For Emma Forever Ago and a pop influenced optimism. ‘trails’ never loses itself entirely to its light sadness, picking up here and there to build a variety of tonal resonances that adds splashes of color to an all but washed out genre.” - MillsRecordCompany.com
