That’s My Boy

Doors 8pm, Show 8:30pm
$20 adv / $25 dos

That’s My Boy blends the fiery spirit of Gypsy jazz, the soulful rhythms of Americana, and the intimacy of acoustic improvisation into an entirely new sound. Led by violinist Gabe Terracciano—known for his work with the Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet—the group delivers a fresh, genre-defying sound that is both rooted in tradition and boldly inventive. Their music is playful, expressive, and deeply engaging, appealing to fans of swing, folk, and modern acoustic music alike.

Featuring Gabe Terracciano – violin; Emeline O’Rourke – guitar and Wallace Stelzer – bass.

Moe Reen / Kyle Morgan & Ellie MacPhee (Day 2)

Doors 8pm, Show 8:30pm
$20 adv / $25 dos

Ohio-based (and born and raised) country-folk songsmith Moe Reen writes from the heart, for the heart. A lifelong vocalist, their old-school country voice often garners comparisons to Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and other honky-tonk-heartbreak crooners of yesteryear. Moe’s witty lyrics, however, are distinctly modern. The songs on their debut EP, Grow Again (April 2024) include a finger-picking reflection on the malaise of seasonal depression alongside a slow-dancing lament comparing climate deniers and unrequited lovers. Moe’s marriage of sentimental sound with contemporary sentiment produces something distinctly their own: earnest lyrics cradled by melodies that tenderly soar to tend to the sore, soft spots of us all.

Kyle Morgan is a Brooklyn-based songwriter originally from Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, where he grew up singing with his family at church and home.  With influences ranging from the classic roots music of the Carter Family and Hank Williams to more modern artists like Thom Yorke and Rufus Wainwright, Kyle sings songs of spiritual longing, struggle and redemption in an earnest tenor voice. He released three albums in the twenty-teens under the name Starcrossed Losers.  In 2022, his debut solo album, Younger at Most Everything, came out on Team Love Records.  His new LP, Ghost of a Problem, comes out May 22nd. 

Ellie MacPhee (she/her) is a performing violinist and teacher in Brooklyn, New York. As a graduate of both Longy School of Music at Bard College and Oberlin Conservatory, MacPhee’s work is focused on the use of violin mastery as a landscape for emotional expression and joyful music making. Her path as a musician began with traditional folk and bluegrass music, which later propelled her into her study as a classical violinist.

B*TCH EAT DOG

Doors 7pm, Show 7:30pm
$20

B*TCH EAT DOG is a puppet-filled sketch show that uses classical texts, feminist theory, and singing willys to interrogate the gendered ethics of pursuit. Punch and Judy puppets perform a gender swapped adaptation of Moby Dick that explores the fallacies of girlboss feminism. A tradwife named Felicity Groundwater hawks her questionable raw milk wares and ultimately breastfeeds a member of the audience with one of her many pendulous burlap boobs. A new kind of IUD insertion escalates until rats are being shoved down a cervix.  The evening is hosted by a hapless, well-intentioned white man who flails wildly as his misguided attempts at allyship lead to a painful realization.

Also in 2020, he wrote the afterword for Jim Harrison’s posthumous “Collected Ghazals” (Copper Canyon Press).

Denver’s poetry has been featured on National Public Radio, has been nominated for Pushcart Prizes, and is in the Library of Congress’s Poetry 180 program, curated by (then) US Poet Laureate Billy Collins, who says about Denver: “Here is a poet who is wild, frenzied, and refreshingly mad. His imagination unlocks for us the cells of reason and sets us loose in a world of dizzying possibilities.”  He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
