11pm- Mike O’Malley
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. On August 29th, he’ll be descending on The Way Station to release his debut full-length, Beastie - 10 ragged tracks of acoustic savagery.
