Tim Barr + Those Sensible Shoes + Oh! Mega! + The Travelers @ The Way Station

8pm- Tim Barr
Genre: indie rock
For fans of: Cymbals Eat Guitars, Spoon, Wilco

After years in the music scene with gigs ranging from playing in clubs as part of Lana Del Rey’s band to playing with Dizzy Gillespie’s pianist Mike Longo, songwriter Tim Barr met English producer Kristopher Harris and together they recorded Silverbird’s acclaimed debut EP, Surface Life. With the addition of Corey Davis on bass, Dan Whaley on lead guitar and Jacob Schuab on drums, their music fearlessly treads through an emotional landscape that, combined with infectious melodies and swirling, intricate rhythms, provides an absolutely enchanting first listen. Their debut LP, Pureland, is due out later this year.

“….it’s only a matter of time before Silverbird buzzes its way to the top.” - CMJ,

“Tim’s songwriting skills are sure to amp up your day with almost gospel-like energy.” - LADYGUNN

10pm- Oh! Mega!
Genre: Rock/Pop
For fans of: Florence + The Machine, Talking Heads, My Brightest Diamond, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead, The Decemberists, Elbow

Oh! Mega! is the brainchild of a classically-trained songwriter and a posse of musicians from widely different creative backgrounds. A sextet from either side of the Atlantic marries clever, evocative lyrics with catchy hooks, intricate beats, and a vivid blend of genres from rockabilly to jazz to pop-punk.

“...a force of nature - jazzy edging into jazz-punk, raw and once in a while downright spasmodic (and, yes, I say that like it’s a good thing). Above all else, Oh! Mega! is deeply musical.”

--Peter Melnick, award-winning composer and lyricist (“The Last Smoker in America,” “Snow in August”)

“Oh! Mega!’s fresh brand of witch-soul will delight fans of Kate Bush and other pioneers of dynamic female-fronted pop bands.” --Sophie Chernin, Madam West
