Old Bob

Sat, May 30

FREE SHOW IN THE BIERGARTEN // FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED SEATING // NO TICKETS, RESERVATIONS OR RSVP NEEDED Old Bob was formed in 2015 when Brian Anderson, Chris Cavaliere, and Kenny Owens celebrated Bob Dylan's 75th birthday by playing 75 of his songs in chronological order. As much as we enjoy playing all of Dylan's music, what we really love is his recent stuff—the "Old Bob" stuff; everything from Time Out Of Mind through Rough & Rowdy Ways. We also throw in some classics along with songs from other artists that sound like Old Bob. Old Bob is often joined by friend & keyboardist extraordinaire Chris Strange.

Payne has also produced, created, and starred in several music videos and is a founding member of the Round Table, a female artist collective that seeks to create more community and opportunities for women. Her musical "The Gunfighter Meets His Match," for which she wrote the books, music, and lyrics, was selected for the 2018 New York Musical Festival. Portions of the show have also been performed at HERE Arts, Joe's Pub, and Playwright's Horizons (with the Musical Theatre Factory). In 2019, she was invited to join the Johnny Mercer Writer's Colony at Goodspeed Musicals, and in 2020 she attended the HBMG National Winter Playwrights Retreat in Grand Lake, CO.

Self-proclaimed “demented pop” chanteuse Eddy Lee Ryder – known to friends and family as Woodstock, NY-based singer-songwriter Liz Brennan – fuses chanson and country, indie and standards, into her own strain of modernist pop Americana, all informed by her distinctively wry sense of humor and classic rock spirit. Eddy Lee Ryder has toured with Howie Day, been synched in the smash horror hit “Terrifier 2”, and featured in American Songwriter & Pop Matters.

Roamer

Sat, Jun 06

FREE SHOW IN THE BIERGARTEN // FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED SEATING // NO TICKETS, RESERVATIONS OR RSVP NEEDED Roamer is a six-piece band bringing their unique brand of new old fashioned American music to Nod Hill. Led on acoustic guitar by singer Tim Sather, members support in high harmony while nimbly trading instrumentation. Keys, horns, guitars, mandolin, and the occasional accordion canvas hand-crafted songs, all backed by a rootsy and dynamic rhythm section. Infusing elements of Americana, bluegrass, rock and reggae, their sound recalls that of Music from Big Pink. Original songs tell the stories of the scofflaws, underdogs, and immigrants who cry out “know me better, man!” as they buy another round. The band is excited to bring songs fresh from the studio to the stage in support of their upcoming release, The American Condition.
