Colt & The Coyotes event photo

Colt & The Coyotes

Sunday June 25th

Colt & the Coyotes use layers of styles and sounds that get the people dancing and singing along to songs they didn’t even know they loved. Examples include Portugal’s “Feel It Still”, the Zutons’ “Valerie”, Texas Tornadoes’ “La Mucura”, and Neko Case’s “That’s Who I Am” – or the hiphop-enhanced “Clandestino” by Manu Chau.

What makes Colt & the Coyotes a true gem of a bar and brewery band is their controlled, improvisational chaos and the genuine love shared between the band members. Their dynamic makes every gig and every cover feel and sound unique.

Ancient Sweets & Art Fungus

Wednesday June 28th

Ancient Sweets is a primordial variety of pepper, the earthy elemental sound of cello and voice ringing together in joy and sorrow. Art Fungus is making a future from decay. Delicate vocals fruit from a mycelial bed of tangled synths and percussion. Together they form a mycorrhizal mutualism underground. The two met playing in DC band Near Northeast.

JOBIE, Teething Veils, Annette Wasilik

Wednesday June 28th

Teething Veils began in 2006 in Washington, DC, playing very occasional live shows at places such as the Montgomery College Planetarium and their own living room at 611 Florida Ave, becoming more active about five years later. They have released five LPs (Velorio, 2013; Constellations, 2014; Sea and Sun, 2017; Canopy of Crimson, 2020; and To Have and to Hold, 2022) and a 7” single (Dinner Date, 2015) through the artist-run DC-and-Santa-Fe-based collective Etxe Records. They have played live with audiences in 43 US states plus the District of Columbia, and two Canadian provinces. The band members also play, or have played, in The Antiques, Daamsel, Kohoutek, The OSYX, Parlor Scouts, Prom Concussion, Seamstresses, Silo Halo, and Void Vision.

"These little songs—sepia-toned yet searching, eccentric yet melodically inclined—add up to something that feels like its own pocket universe, sometimes wistful, sometimes the kind of menacing only achieved via a late-career Tom Waits death rattle." -Washington City Paper

“If the latest from this self-described chamber-folk outfit feels funereal, it isn’t just because bandleader Greg Svitil sings like a eulogist, or because Hannah Burris knows how to make her viola weep. It’s because funerals allow emotions to be purged and smothered, making time feel stranger than slow.”

Wednesday June 28th

Josie Arthur, aka JOBIE, started recording and producing music in her parent’s basement in Richmond Virginia, winter 2020. Later, she released her first single “Half Way” in April 2021. Since then, she has gone on to release more music, most notably her debut album “Grendel” in 2023, as well as some collaborations with other producers and artists. When she isn’t attending classes at Emerson College in Boston, JOBIE spends most of her time playing at bars, open mics and house concerts in and around the city. She usually accompanies herself with just her acoustic guitar, but she can be seen playing with a backup band on occasion, most recently Cambridge-Somerville based group Dogs In Green, as well as playing with her dad and other musicians in Richmond. JOBIE is known for her “magically melancholic” lyricism and is constantly seeking to expand her artistry.
