Espionage, particularly the idea of living a double life, was the basis for Kaki King’s brand-new, stunning album Junior. And like a tantalizing spy novel that’s full of surprises, Junior delivers twists-and-turns: lyrically from exuberance and anger to heartbreaking melancholy; and sonically from experimental pieces to accessible pop. While there is some of the dazzling musicianship King has been renowned for, Junior showcases her further maturation as a well-rounded artist that defies categorization and expectations.


Alejandro Escovedo & the Sensitive Boys
Sunday, June 5th
Doors 7pm Show 8pm
$15 Flat
Over 21 Only
* On-Sale 5/6 @5pm

Alejandro Escovedo is one with his muse and his music. Over a lifetime spent traversing the bridge between words and melody, he has ranged over an emotional depth that embraces all forms of genre and presentation, a resolute voice that weathers the emotional terrain of our lives, its celebrations and despairs, landmines and blindsides and upheavals and beckoning distractions, in search for ultimate release and the healing truth of honesty. Sometimes it takes the form of barely contained rage, the rock of punk amid kneeled feedback; sometimes it caresses and soothes, a whispery harmony riding the air of a nightclub room, removed from amplification, within the audience.

The Damnwells
Wednesday, October 5th
Doors 7pm Show 8pm
$10 Flat
All Ages $2 Minor Surcharge
* On-Sale 5/11 @5pm

The Damnwells are guitarist David Chernis, drummer Steven Terry (ex-Whiskeytown), and Dezen’s former Bard College classmate Ted Hudson on bass, as well as a cast of friends and strangers that allowed the band to realize their vision for a lush and full collection of songs while stepping outside the more standard insurgent roots rock of their previous album, Bastards of the Beat. The opening, “I’ve Got You”, sets that tone of limitless possibility as Dezen drops a number of references to 80s classics against an accidental guitar solo that just happened to fit the song perfectly.

Rock on,
