Upcoming Events

Tyler Brennan:

Tyler Brennan is a singer-songwriter born and raised in New Hope, PA.
He draws from his experience growing up in town and learning through life’s trials and tribulations. Through his music he explores life, love and God and how it feels to live in the world today. Drawing inspiration from the classic rock he was exposed to since childhood, his songs have an old school feeling that all generations can appreciate.

A Parralax View:

Formed by Dylan Cascantes, Drew Wakefield, and Dr. Snowflight, experimental rock band A Parallax View evolved through extended jams that eventually coalesced in monolithic, album-length songs. After a lengthy period of uncertain lineups, keyboardist and vocalist Zora Mcbride joined in 2023. Finally in 2025, the band expanded to include Christian Flagg on bass.

TOCCA:

TOCCA is a Brooklyn-based musical project created by singer-songwriter Risa Elledge. She collaborated with Alex Zhu, a guitarist, composer, and producer (Future Islands, Bambara), on this debut release. They enlisted Chris Meyer (Electric Lady Studios, Water Sound) to co-produce and engineer the record in Princeton, NJ at Zhutopia Studios. A cast of talented musicians recorded live instrumentation on the album. This intensely collaborative spirit is a testament to the healing power of music, and a reminder that songs transcend human language. Risa Elledge is a native of Houston, who moved to Austin at 18 to start her musical career. After playing numerous shows, including Austin Psych Fest’s Levitation, and releasing a string of Soundcloud hits, she decided to pursue her artistry in Brooklyn. Risa also channels her passion into her fashion designs and other forms of multi-media art.

Blind Pete:

Blind Pete is a pop/rock trio that combines the exploratory and space age energy of the 60's and early 70's, and combines it with a futuristic sound palette of the modern era. From face-melting fuzz solos to pulled back grooves that feel like they're being played directly on your heart strings, Blind Pete is sure to bend genres and blow minds. And did we mention... they're LOUD. In Tom Hagan (guitars), Luke Annand (bass), and Gabe Sashihara's (Drums) capable hands, a splendid time is guaranteed for all!

Join us at Dharma Bums for a legendary yoga experience with the one and only Martha DiCredico this time, set to the ethereal sounds of Enya.

If you know, you Om.
These themed yoga classes with Martha have become the stuff of Dharma Bums folklore — each one a transcendent blend of movement, music, and mood. Martha is known for her nurturing style, heart-opening sequences, and a sixth sense for crafting classes that feel more like rituals than workouts.

This session is soundtracked by none other than Enya, the Irish queen of celestial vibes. Her haunting harmonies, layered vocals, and ambient instrumentation have a way of softening the edges of the world — and your nervous system. Whether it's Orinoco Flow, Only Time, or Caribbean Blue, Enya’s music sets the tone for introspection, deep release, and that dreamy post-yoga glow.

Tin Nanny is an irrepressible folk and bluegrass band hailing from Philadelphia. Hootin’ and hollerin’ since 2022, the band builds a catalogue of original music which both draws from and challenges tradition. They are known for being well-equipped with a repertoire of traditional American folk and bluegrass, as well as occasionally straying from the beaten path to cover contemporary tunes in traditional four-part harmonies. Tin Nanny has a sound all its own. But if you were to compare, like-sounding artists could include Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway, Jean Ritchie, and Robert Hunter. Common themes in Tin Nanny’s original songs include foot-stomping explorations of city life, personal geographies, trains, and the natural world when they can find it. The four distinct musical voices in Tin Nanny always weave, diverge, and join back together to create a clear sense that the totality of their music is greater than its individual parts.

The Red Tailed Rounders are a hard-driving and swinging country string band. The group performs bluegrass and country standards, as well as unique and heartfelt original music. With a classic string band lineup of guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and upright bass, The Red Tailed Rounders bring new songs into an age-old tradition of American folk music.

Melding energetic, spacy improvisation with electronica and melodic rock songwriting, Pennsylvania's Flux Capacitor spent the early 2010s building a grassroots fan base through constant touring and a series of vibrant studio albums including their 2011 Jack Endino-produced sophomore outing, Monolith. A staple of the jam band circuit, Flux Capacitor pull from a wide range from tonal influences, from Phish and Bob Marley to more sonically cerebral acts like Pink Floyd and Radiohead

Formed in West Reading, Pennsylvania in 2007 by brothers Peter (vocals, guitar), Michael (keys), and Jason Specht (drums), Flux Capacitor cut their teeth regionally, issuing their debut, They Know We Know, before hitting the road nationally. With their profile raised, the trio headed to Seattle to record their hard-hitting follow-up album, Monolith, with producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden). Following the album's 2011 release, the brothers widened their touring base, playing across the U.S. and Canada as well as in the U.K., sharing stages with a variety of acts like Rusted Root, Ozomatli, Lukas Nelson, and Railroad Earth. A third studio album, Cycle 9, appeared in 2013, followed by a pair of singles, "Dome" and "Radio," in 2015. Documenting their epic live shows, Flux Capacitor released their first concert recording, Live Spirals, Vol. 1, in 2017. ~ Timothy Monger

Flux released Set to Gravitate in 2018 and the band has grown to a four piece with the addition of Stephen Kurtz on bass. The band is entering the studio for their 5th studio album in 2024.

Join Mark Winters for an evening of acoustic rock with a positive vibe.

1st Sunday of the month

Fans of the Karmic Repair Company will be familiar with The Reverend Graham, serving up sermons from the rock and roll pulpit.

As a founder of the Blue Wave Ramblers he has further mined the catalogues of numerous artists for rare gems and offered up unique arrangements of well loved classics. As a member of the 9-9ers he has additionally explored artists and songbooks unique to that project.

Showtime: 6:00PM - 9:00PM

Ketchel & Creeksnake were created from the ashes of the original R.A.T. Gallery in Gardenville, PA in 2009.  Around that time, Ketchel was laying a lot of solo shows and Creeksnake would sit in on many of them.  After years of this on-the-spot improvisation, a routine started to form.  And out of that, Scofflaw was created.  From time to time, they still perform in this format.

Showtime: 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Friends of Jerry is a Grateful Dead cover band that sounds very little like the Grateful Dead. Drawing from punk, post rock, shoegaze, krautrock, and jazz, FOJ uses the Dead catalog as a springboard for trance-inducing improvisation and danceable groovecraft. By purposefully eschewing the tired tropes of the Dead cover band world, they have created a sound and a community as unique and varied as their influences, while remaining true to the Dead’s rambling, wanderlusty ethos. Founded in 2021 by guitarist Sean Reilly (Mumblr) and drummer Kevin Paschall (Roof Doctor) as an offshoot of their long running psychedelic two-piece Brown Rainbow, they soon enlisted Tommy Fala (Half Thought) on keys, Andrew Meagher (VVeed VVolf) on bass, Danielle Zabielski on vocals and electronics, and Zach Coleman (Witch Bomb) on guitar. Their music inhabits a vast universe, flirting with spacious and effected landscapes, tight and focused speed metal riffage, and deep exploratory jazz excursions, all framed by a deep reverence for the Dead songbook.

Big Shrimp, the young and hungry quartet out of Bridgeport, CT—features Jared Sage Cowen (Guitar/Vocals), Max Perrotti (Bass/Vocals), Henry Thomas (Drums/Vocals), and Daniel Cohen (Keys/Vocals). Formed in 2024, the band blends masterful, high-energy musicianship with well-crafted, diverse songwriting, already making a major splash in the modern funk and indie rock scene.

They ambitiously launched their journey together by hosting a two-night festival in Upstate NY, followed by a hometown residency titled “The Black Rock Special”—a six-show, donation-based series, each performance themed around different musical and culinary shrimp specials, with proceeds benefiting various Connecticut charities.

Big Shrimp’s growing catalog reflects contributions from all four members, earning praise for its accessibility and stylistic range. Their material has landed on Spotify’s Modern Jam Band editorial playlist, a testament to the buzz.

“Cowen would dig even deeper into his bag of tricks for an extraordinary rendition of ‘Ordinary Guy,’ yielding some of the funkiest, most cathartic and most primal energy of the set. With catchy melodies, impressive solos, complex arrangements, and shifting tempos and moods, the band kept you on your toes and bobbing your head the entire show.” – NYSMusic

In Spring and Summer 2025, Big Shrimp embarked on tour, supporting acts like Spafford, Eggy, and Big Something, while also making festival appearances at Northlands Festival in New Hampshire alongside The String Cheese Incident, Corey Wong, moe., and Umphrey’s McGee. They were tapped to headline the festival’s official pre-party at Park City Music Hall, with a guest appearance by Tim Palmieri of Lotus. The band over the past year has also featured sit-ins from members of TAUK, co-billed with Dizgo at Brooklyn Bowl, and packed a sold-out Goose after-party in New Haven.

Big Shrimp will return to the road this Fall, expanding into new markets and revisiting familiar ones, with two major releases on the way: their debut studio album and the next volume of their live series, The Prawno Tapes, both set for release before the end of the year.

Boris Garcia isn’t a person but a band, an ensemble that starts with what is called jamgrass (“We’re all folkies at heart,” remarked one band member) but also fuses a dozen strands of American music into a rich, ever-evolving whole. Rock, Folk, Celtic, Soul, Psychedelic/Bluegrass – you can hear them all. They masterfully blend acoustic and electric instrumentation, with Americana roots sensibility.

Steal Your Face has spent more than a decade on their own “long, strange trip,” paying tribute to The Grateful Dead with fire and passion. Born from the adventurous spirit of Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead, Steal Your Face is a high energy band known for mind-blowing jams, innovative lead guitar and emotional vocals.

Weird Phishes is exactly what it sounds like - the iconic melancholy rock songs of Radiohead completely reborn as danceable, crunchy jams. With full-album performances, unexpected mashups, and gluey funk-driven improvisation, their jam-heavy take on alt-rock classics has sparked an unexpected energy in audiences across the northeast. Cleverly avoiding the "tribute" trope, Weird Phishes continues to push the envelope of what a mashup band can be, delivering performances that need to be experienced in order to believe.

A quick glance at the band’s social media gives a glimpse into why this unlikely mashup proves worthwhile. “Bought tickets on a whim because I love both bands, had wanted to check out the club, and thought it would be amusing. I was not expecting such incredible musicianship and thought that had gone into their set...it was one of the best shows I’ve seen in years.” Said one user. “Clean, creative mashups of a favorite album and great Phish selections. Great energy.” says another. “Impossibly excellent show.”

Formed in 2019, Weird Phishes solidified their place in the New England jam community, headlining performances in Boston, Burlington, Portland, and throughout the northeast/midwest. Weird Phishes made their post-covid return in 2021, headlining the inaugural Safe and Soundz festival, and kept busy before returning home for a performance at the legendary Paradise Rock Club in December 2022.

The band had a busy 2023, trodding new ground with full album performances spanning multiple cities, debuting their fully reimagined rendition of "Kid A" Crystal Ballroom, a performance of "Ok Computer'' at Albany's Lark Hall, and a 2 hour long performance of “In Rainbows” in Cambridge, MA at The Middle East Downstairs to a nearly sold-out crowd at the end of the year.

Weird Phishes looks forward to a 2025 full of ever-changing setlists, surprise album performances, and a passionate, growing fanbase.
