8pm- Elisa Flynn
Genre: Indie-folk

Brooklyn Indie folk chanteuse Elisa Flynn is a guitarist and songwriter who played in indie rock, punk, and Americana bands for the better part of the last two decades. Her broodingly nuanced vocals, and a sardonic humor with an undercurrent of unease, give a darkly gothic twist on the singer-songwriter genre. She has opened for artists including Bee and Flower, Enablers, Damon & Naomi, Lucinda Black Bear, Lydia Loveless, and Dean Wareham. In the last year and a half, she has also been the host of the quarterly Tripeg Lobo songwriter series at the Way Station, with themes from the Anthology of American Folk Music, "Kill...and Kill Again: a night of Murder Ballads," and songs based on found photographs. Flynn is currently working on her 4th solo recording for Fall 2014 release.

“With a polymath’s insatiable curiosity and a keen sense of history, she proved as knowledgeable about classic Americana roots as she is with indie rock, and it showed in her music. Armed with just her acoustic guitar, her trusty loop pedal and a richly nuanced voice that she let trail off with a suspenseful vibrato, she made her way through aching big-sky themes, a bitter returning Civil War soldier’s lament and a disarmingly pretty but grimly sarcastic Afghan War narrative told from a perspective looking out from inside an “iron galleon.” – newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com

“The songs are haunting and very dark (at least one about a serial killer but all seem to have a dark, historical perspective) and the rhythm section is solid but it’s Flynn’s powerful vocals that really stand out.” Review of 19th Century Songs on

9pm- Daphne Lee Martin
Genre: Songwriter/Electronic
For fans of: Bat for Lashes, Portishead, Aimee Mann

After a whirlwind affair with roots music, garnering her several songwriting and performance awards, including CT Music Awards' 2012 Country Artist of the Yearand Whalie Awards' Album of the Year, Daphne Lee Martin is back in force with a new collection of songs on her latest record, Moxie (Telegraph Recording Company). Since its release, Moxie has been featured on The Needle Drop, Rolling Stone contributor Eric Danton's Listen, Dammit, NPR's Where We Live, No Depression, WTNH's CT Style, The Day's Live Lunch Break, and Boston Dig, Surviving the Golden Age, as well as a number of other national blogs and zines. Moxie charted in the Top 200 CMJ weekly chart in March (with over 45 adds) and was included in Under the Radar's official SXSW Sampler followed by a national tour including SXSW. She is currently in the studio working on the follow-up record, Frost and preparing to tour again in the fall.

Boasting a new cast of characters in a deeply provocative and reflective story, Daphne's live show leans heavily on trip hop, blue-eyed soul and prohibition-era voodoo all set in a seedy cabaret. Moxie was produced by Bill Readey in New Haven CT and features several guests from the wealth of the Elm City's music scene, including John Panos (Mates of State), Matt Lindauer (Sugarbat), Eric Stevenson (Pocket Vinyl), Milksop:Unsung, Matt Thomas (M.T.Bearington), Sam Perduta (Elison Jackson) and Erik Elligers (Goodnight Blue Moon).

“Moxie has a whole lot of style, confidence, and just the right amount of self-conscious smirk. Warm and inviting, it duly manifests its role as the hooker with a heart of gold.” - Fabricoh Magazine

"Lemme tell you it's a badly behaved set of tracks. It's a liquored up weekend whose hangover lasts well into the work week." -Anthony Fantano, The Needle Drop

"Moxie is an altogether different affair. Less a collection of songs – more a soundtrack to a wild burlesque show. Underwater, dreamy vocals, you hear reggae beats under New Orleans horns….bossa nova…honky tonk…Gypsy and swing….all in a late-night cabaret. " -John Dankosky, NPR

“The music is a little dirty, a little dangerous but a hell of a good time.” - Chip McCabe, CT.com

”Devilishly delightful… a skip through sin city.” - Dissociative ID, WKDU Phildelphia

”Cheeky, and full of verve and swing... equal to anything Dr. John might have conjured up in his voodoo lair.” - Vincent Bator, Examiner.com

“With her strong writing style and sultry vocal delivery, Martin has you in the palm of her hand from track one.” - Troy Michael, Innocent Words Chicago

"Channeling Peggy Lee singing in some interstellar speakeasy backed by Jack White, where the fashion of bowler hats and bow ties are mixed with Go Go boots and mini-skirts" -Rick Bowen, No Depression
