9pm- Charming Disasters
Genre:Indie Murder Ballads
For fans of:  Bonnie and Clyde, Edward Gorey

Charming Disaster is a songwriting and musical performance duo featuring veteran bandleaders Jeff Morris of Kotorino (lush chamber pop, www.kotorino.com) and Ellia Bisker of Sweet Soubrette (indie rock meets cabaret, www.sweetsoubrette.com).  This two-person supergroup writes and performs duets about murder, auto theft, paranormal romance, circus performers, con artists, and more, exploring in song the different kinds of trouble a couple of people can get into.

Music blog New York Music Daily has described Charming Disaster as “dangerously torchy noir cabaret and gypsy rock,” and reviewed a recent show as “menacingly charming.”

10pm- Country Provisions
Genre: Country
For fans of:  Buck Owens, Robbie Fulks, Ernest Tubb, Porter Wagoner, Johnny Cash

Country Provisions is a NYC-based quartet that honors the sound, pathos, humor, and weirdness of hard country music. Hailing from the four corners of this great, flawed country, these music veterans provide audiences with a collection of strong originals (peppered with a few country classics) that consider many of humanity’s constant struggles: alcohol, bestiality, religion, love—all the while keeping toes a-tapping. With fine melodies, lyrics, and musicianship they bring a respectful yet contemporary twist to the legacy of country music.

The Short Line Project is an acoustic free-funk ensemble based in Brooklyn. They play highly communicative yet completely improvised music, with a deep groove and soulful melodies.
