$10 adv // $15 day of 18+ show. 21+ after 9pm Dead Gowns (Insta | Spotify | Website | Youtube) Dead Gowns is the songwriting project of Geneviève Beaudoin. Her latest collection, the HOW EP (out Oct 14, 2022), is a confident declaration of self-acceptance. First penned during the recording sessions of a separate Dead Gowns full length in January 2021, these songs — urgent, necessary, and assuming a life of their own — rose to the surface. When a recording opportunity emerged, thanks to a grant offered by Portland, ME studio Prism Analog, the new collection became a reality. The ensuing record boasts a cast of good friends/collaborators, including Luke Kalloch, Peter McLaughlin, Nat Baldwin, Alex Millan, Aisha Burns, Ricardo Lagomasino, and Brett DesChenes. Jane Lai (Insta | Spotify) Inspired by artists like Dear Nora and Florist, Jane Lai collages relationships past nurtured into the present. Lai sings narratively about things that aren’t entirely sad, like smoking cigarettes outside a funeral or a cashier who waits hopefully in a parking lot for her son who never returns. They aren’t exactly all her memories, but rather, a pocket of knick-knacks she's collected along the way.
 A Box of Stars (Insta | Spotify | Youtube) Dream folk from Burlington, VT. Addie Herbert (Insta | Spotify) They say sing what you know; and Adaline doesn’t know anything about anything, but this hasn’t stopped her trying. Adaline has been writing songs since she was very small, mostly on the family piano, later on guitar and banjo. Her songs used to be about chickens; now they are about humans, cosmos, melancholy.
