9pm- Hanging Hills
Genre: Folk Rock
For fans of: Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, CSNY, Midlake

Hanging Hills is a folk rock band from Willimantic, CT, a source for the growing music and arts scene in the state’s quiet corner. Crafting songs that are heavily rooted in the past while maintaining a steady foothold in the present, they constantly bridge the gap between nostalgia and innocent wonder.

“Beautiful and poignant lyrics are draped around spacious and lush musical pieces like the accoutrements of a vast musical dwelling.” - Chip McCabe, Lonesome Noise

11pm- The Sky Captains of Industry
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Rock and Roll
For fans of: David Bowie, Devo, Queen

The Sky Captains of Industry came from the future to inform you about the upcoming apocalypse and/or to rock it to rubble. Are they men? Are they machines? Will they indeed save the rest of your heart?

While allegories dressed as science fiction may not be new to this world, they’ve never been more aesthetically pleasing than they are here. I mean, at bottom, once you strip away all the concept and metaphor, Rocket City is just a really, really great sounding record of awesome songs.”— Chris Michael, Eat That Guitar
