With a powerhouse voice that cuts through any dark, smoky bar like a beam of light, Amber Angelina is an eclectic torch singer who has been likened to everyone from Adele and Kate Bush to Neko Case and Linda Ronstadt. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Amber Angelina has become a treasured staple in New England, where she and her first-rate band (Mike Castellana, Jef Charland, Nate Logus, Peter Moore) deliver soulful, stop-you-dead-in-your-tracks songs that grapple with embracing vulnerabilities, making peace with our mistakes, and finding strength in a weary world.

A beloved fixture in the Boston music scene for over 25 years, Tim Gearan has become a bonafide local music hero. His warm, raspy baritone, jaw-dropping guitar skills and wry, poignant songwriting have graced the bars, pubs, and music halls throughout New England and beyond, creating a loyal cult-like following. Gearan, a New York native, spent ten years touring the globe as a sideman for the great Toni Lynn Washington, as well as collaborating with Grammy-winning singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi. Finding his own artistic voice, Gearan has crafted an intoxicating blend of Americana, folk and blues with shades of Randy Newman, Tom Waits, JJ Cale, Leon Russell and Lowell George. He quickly established himself as a force in the Boston’s resurgent roots music scene, and his Boston area residencies have become a “can’t miss” staple of the city’s nightlife. Gearan has released 7 albums to date, as well as 4 single releases; “While the World Goes By” (2019) “It’s Not the End of the World" (2019) “Hey, Hey, Hey” (2020) and “Talk About Heaven” (2020).

Dennis Brennan was born on the wrong side of the tracks in Marlboro, Massachusetts.

At age 9 he entered show business as Rumplestiltsken in a grammar school play. In 7th grade he performed “Louie Louie” with a local garage band at the Berlin, Ma. Town Hall and quickly evolved into “the lead singer”

That band evolved into “The Paranoids”, his musical outlet throughout his high school years. They opened shows for both The Remains and The Barbarians, garage band legends who are each featured on “Nuggets, original artyfacts from the first psychedelic era” Rhino R2 75486.

Following high school. Brennan’s education continued as lead singer in such well regarded outfits as “The Dirty Rye Band”, The West Side Band”, “The Martells”, and “Push Push”. These bands performed in every bar and dive on the east coast. An education indeed.

In 1992 he formed the Dennis Brennan Band and started his solo career, quickly releasing two critically acclaimed recordings on Upstart Records, a division of Rounder. In 2000 he released “Rule #1” on ESCA Records which resulted in glowing reviews from The New Yorker, The Chicago Sun Times, The Boston Phoenix as well as other publications nationwide. These recordings showcase Brennans ability “to not just tip toes into genres, he strips naked and plunges right in.” Bill Holmes, AMPLIFIER.

Led by Alex Calabrese, Boston-based indie-folk band Old Tom & The Lookouts blend the introspective grit of Americana with the emotional rawness of indie rock. Known for their brooding lyrics and powerful storytelling, the band explores themes of mental health, love, and resilience. Drawing influences from artists like Tom Waits, Frightened Rabbit, and Phoebe Bridgers, Calabrese’s evocative vocals and poignant songwriting strike a chord with listeners searching for authenticity and emotional depth.

Old Tom & The Lookouts have performed at notable venues such as Club Passim (Cambridge, MA), Music Hall Lounge (Portsmouth, NH), City Winery (Philadelphia, PA), and Skylark Lounge (Denver, CO). Their previous release, Just For Beasts (2021), co-created with violinist and vocalist Cecilia Vacanti, was praised by critics as “hauntingly beautiful” by Lunar Sonar and “essential listening” by Music Mecca. With Northeastern (2024), the band takes a bold step forward, embracing a more rock-driven sound while staying true to their emotionally charged roots.
