Missiles to Malta & Pelican Movement

Thu, Oct 15

TICKETED SHOW - LIVE IN THE BACKSPACE // DOORS 6:30pm - MUSIC 7pm // GENERAL ADMISSION // NO RESERVED SEATING


From launch to impact Missiles to Malta carves its own sonic trajectory through the post punk indie rock orbit. The Bethel, CT five-piece is anchored by driving bass & drums. Fueled by ribbons of electric guitar. Bolstered by ethereal organ and evocative vocals. Together this bestows a rewarding fusion of tension & release. A melodic mirror for a world that overlooks two halves of the same whole.


Pelican Movement is the musical project of New Paltz-based producer Kevin McMahon, owner of Marcata Recording, blending post-prog rock & shoegaze driven by concept and community. They will perform as a small ensemble; instrumentally reimagining songs form the upcoming album A Tension.

TICKETED SHOW - LIVE IN THE BACKSPACE // DOORS 6:30pm - MUSIC 7pm Born in a small country town in New England and raised in a musical family, GRAMMY-nominated songwriter Reed Foehl crafts stories of the human condition with poignant lyrics and a voice that both pushes boundaries and honors tradition. His music, a blend of genuine Folk and Americana, is marked by a dusty, patient quality that resonates deeply. In May 2022, Foehl released his sixth studio album, "Wild Wild Love," recorded with The Band of Heathens in Austin, TX. The Boston Globe praised his work, stating, “He sings like he feels every note, each song tells a story… of which he relates astonishingly well.” Foehl received a GRAMMY nomination for his song “Fly,” co-written with Brent Cobb and covered by country legend Lee Ann Womack. Now residing in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Foehl continues to tour globally, sharing his music with audiences around the world. “From traditional folk ballads to barroom sing-alongs, this tunesmith’s emotional, deeply personal lyrics and indelibly infectious choruses… leave the listener with an overriding sense of optimism.” – Glide Magazine “Reed has the ability to transport the soul, a true master. One of the great songwriters of our time." –Gregory Alan Isakov "Reed Foehl is like a brother to me, we've traveled a lot of miles on the road together, and I don't think they make better singer-songwriters than him." –Todd Snider “Reed's songs hit you in the heart, and everything else falls away." –Anais Mitchell
