SUMMARY:Katie Touplin & Austin Plaine (rescheduled)
DESCRIPTION:Ages 21+ Unless Accompanied by a Parent or Legal Guardian. The solo debut from Katie Toupin\, Magnetic Moves takes its title from its spellbinding opening track\, a song that’s quietly defiant in its bending of reality. “It’s about being bold and being brave\, and using your magnetism to create the world you want to live in\,” says the L.A.-based singer/songwriter. “The whole album came from a place of wanting to be completely direct\, in a way I never felt I could before. I think it’s important to let yourself show your heart like that.” In the spirit of self-reliance\, Toupin took the reins in producing Magnetic Moves\, her first full-length since leaving acclaimed alt-country band Houndmouth in 2016. Although she’d originally cut several songs with other producers\, an impromptu recording session during a stop in Austin on her 2018 house tour inspired her to strike out on her own. “Every time I’d tried working with other people\, it never turned out in a way that felt right to me\,” she says. “And then when I finally tried producing by myself\, it felt so easy—I realized I knew exactly what I wanted everything to sound like; I just needed the confidence to actually do it.” Mixed by Steve Christensen (a Grammy Award-winner known for his work with Steve Earle)\, Magnetic Moves came to life in two marathon sessions at The Finishing School in Austin. With multi-instrumentalist Scott Davis and percussionist Josh Blue accompanying Toupin\, the album unfolds in a dreamy pastiche of soul and pop and brightly jangly ’70s rock\, a sound that’s lavishly detailed but fantastically fluid. And in her unfussy yet radiant vocal performance\, Toupin channels both self-possession and raw vulnerability\, fully inhabiting each state of being.

SUMMARY:Dogs in a Pile
DESCRIPTION:The sandy shores of Asbury Park\, New Jersey are hallowed ground in the northeast; the rolling waves have ushered generations of venerated musicians to worldwide acclaim. Dogs in a Pile\, an eclectic quintet\, has emerged as the heir apparent to the town’s rich musical legacy. Merging funk\, jazz\, and rock and roll with psychedelia\, the quintet presents a completely original vibe built on kaleidoscopic soundscapes eerily reminiscent of the days of yesteryear. The Dogs employ a unified approach to performance and songwriting\, crafting aural mosaics through adept instrumentation and humble precocity. As avid storytellers\, they draw inspiration from personal experiences\, balancing life’s foibles with ever-present youthful sanguinity. Dogs began when Philadelphia University of the Arts guitar gun-slinger Jimmy Law began playing with young Joe Babick (drums)\, a student at the Count Basie Theater program in Red Bank\, NJ.  Lightning struck when they were introduced to Berklee School of Music student and bass player Sam Lucid\, who immediately suggested fellow Berklee student and keyboard player Jeremy Kaplan. The addition of fellow Berklee student Brian Murray (guitar) in 2019 made for the quintessential final piece in the Dogs’ puzzle. A string of successful local shows drove the development of a massive northeast fan base\, affectionately known as the Dog Pound. The band’s astronomical growth culminated in an epic\, sold-out performance at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park during the summer of 2021. Armed with a fresh batch of new material\, Dogs in a Pile is taking its perpetually evolving testament to the Great American Songbook on tour in 2022\, visiting plenty of new cities and spreading good music and good energy to good people along the way

SUMMARY:But Baby I Love You Pt. 9
DESCRIPTION:But Baby I Love You pt. 9\, is an annual sell out comedy show produced by Comedian\, Larry Greene. This show features Comedians\, poets\, singers\, and more. The show was inspired by Larry in an effort to bring a mature quality comedy event for couples and singles to celebrate life. It’s titled BBILY because we all know love isn’t always pretty but we can laugh about it as we work through it. This year is featuring amazing national & local talent. \nLarry Greene is a comedian from St. Louis\, MO. He’s known for his charm and witty sense of humor. He’s the first comedian to win both the Helium Comedy Club competition & the St. Louis Funny Bone competition in the same year.

His comedy album titled “Fashionably Late” is streaming on all platforms with over 32\,000 unique downloads. On his rise to headliner status\, Larry is proud to have opened for legendary comics\, Paul Mooney\, Honest John\, and more. Among his accomplishments\, Larry counts producing “But Baby I Love You” as one of his favorite accomplishments\, that’s 9 years running. Yooo! \nFeaturing Headliner: Ambrose Jones\nA laconic\, self-deprecating comedian\, Ambrose embarked on his comedy career in Memphis\, TN. Being originally from Chicago\, IL makes no sense at all\, but he still found a way to turn his southern humor and unique point of view into a brand. Within only 8 years of stand-up\, Jones has been a full-time feature act for 3 years. He has already performed at some of the top comedy venues in the business. Comedy Off Broadway\, Richmond Funny bone\, West Palm Beach Improv\, Stardome\, Zanies\, Comedy House\, Vb Funny bone\, just to name a few. \nHe has previously showcased his talent on NBC for Last Comic Standing. Keenan Ivory Wayans said “He is like a breath of fresh air.” and “Reminds him of a country Chris Rock” Ellen tweeted “You killed it on LCS” Jones earned his way to the top 40 semifinalists. \nDuring the 2nd audition of LCS at Gotham Comedy Club in NYC\, Ambrose was approached by the owner of the club and asked to perform on Gotham Live which is a tv show filmed live at the club and aired on Axs Tv earlier this year. \nThis show features an amazing lineup of comedians\, singers\, & poets. Do not miss out on this year’s “But Baby I Love You\, Pt. 9” at the ultra professional “Central Stage” in the beautiful Grand Center Arts District.

SUMMARY:Al Holliday & The East Side Rhythm Band Presents "All I Want"
DESCRIPTION:Come and join us for this special Listening Room presentation of our brand new album\, “ALL I WANT” – which we are celebrating the official worldwide release of the album to streaming services. \n“ALL I WANT” is a love letter and testament to the American Multi-racial Working Class. The album’s release comes after years of careful work from the band \, and we are thrilled to finally release the album to all platforms for all to enjoy. \nThere is just one band family who does their thing the way they do a band who can sound as hot and as thick as the breath of the Mississippi River in the St. Louis summertime\, and can turn around and lay it down as cool as the breeze. Music lovers draw some comparisons to large groups like Delaney & Bonnie and Friends\, the Tedeschi Trucks Band\, and Joe Cockers Mad Dogs & Englishmen – As much is there is that is there is influences of Taj Mahal\, Billy Preston\, Leon Russell\, and Allen Toussaint but AL HOLLIDAY & THE EAST SIDE RHYTHM BAND\, with the muddy water in their veins no doubt\, come with their very own game. The young man and the band bring a package only describable as essentially American – a sound distinct to the Big Muddy and their river city home where the four winds blow.
