10pm- Mt. Thelonious

Genre: Indie Folk

Sounds Like: Andrew Bird, Damien Rice

The band has plenty of touchstones in the past, drawing heavily from folk, jazz, and rootsy Americana traditions—yet what makes them truly unique is their ability to craft something new from these references while still evoking them. As Mt. Thelonious continues to tour and immerse themselves in America’s rich musical landscape, there’s no doubt their sound will only continue to expand and deepen.

11pm- That Band Bones

Genre: Blues, Folk, Americana

For fans of: Muddy Waters, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Captain Beefheart

In 2012, Haley “Bones” Saner released Drift On, a retrospective album that invites fans into tales of love, heartbreak, nostalgia, and self-realization. The mellow ballads and soulful blues are unified by dark and often intimate lyrics. His voice is thick and gravelly, giving his songs an emotional candidness while maintaining obscurity. Bones composed, produced, and recorded the album, playing the majority of instruments: guitar, bass, piano, organ, drums, and banjo. Patrick Casey, a guest player at shows, contributed leads and jazz inspired improvisations on trumpet and flugelhorn.
