About this Event
Headliner:
Whiskey Treaty Roadshow – A collaborative of five Massachusetts-based singer-songwriters: Tory Hanna, Billy Keane, David Tanklefsky, Greg Smith, and Chris Merenda. As individuals they have released a total of 18 albums; their live record The Heart of the Run is their first as a band. Join them for a celebration of brotherhood, spirits, and foot-stomping folk-rock.
Other bands in the line up will include:
The Backyard Committee – A band from New Haven, Connecticut that plays melodic roots rock injected with moments of improvisation and experimentation, much in the spirit of the Grateful Dead, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan, but with indie rock influences like Guided By Voices, Pavement, and Neutral Milk Hotel. Mike Sembos (vocals, guitar or bass) writes the songs and then serves as the editor of the project. His rotating cast of musicians are encouraged to play their instruments using their own ideas and their own voices to make each lineup and each show completely unique.
Eben Viens Band – Eben Viens lives in Brattleboro, Vermont, and plays music with a rotating cast of musical characters. In his early years, Eben could be found busking with the Dusty Neutrals. Nowadays, he works and writes songs in his spare time. Expect power pop and folk rock with sloppy nods to Westerberg, Partridge, McLennan and more.
