Check out this weekend’s events in the taproom!🍻
✨Friday | July 17th | 6pm-9pm
✨PosterChild
PosterChild is a Pittsburgh-based indie rock band crafting sharp, melodic guitar music with the swagger of early 2000s garage revival. Falling in league with the rawness of The Strokes, the understated sophistication of Spoon, and flashes of the emotional vocal intensity associated with Jeff Buckley, PosterChild draws inspiration from the shimmering pulse of new wave and classic American songwriting. The band balances hook-driven immediacy with lyrical depth and atmosphere.
Fueled by the urgency, uncertainty, and exhilaration of young adulthood in post covid days, PosterChild makes a strong first statement with their debut full-length album, Leaving New Mexico.
✨Saturday | July 18th | 11:30am-2:30pm
JAZZ BRUNCH
We hope y’all will all join us for some jazzzzy, mid-day summer taproom vibes. We have an extra special brunch menu, craft beer, mimosas, and of course, beer-mosas, all alongside jazz music from the talented jazz fusion trio, “Four Peanuts”. The group explores both original compositions and zesty covers of tunes you may or may not know. The trio features Alex Taub on keyboards, Brennan Dugan on bass, and Joe Enright on drums, and will certainly leave your peanuts salted and boiled to perfection!
✨Saturday | July 18th | 6-9pm
✨Hype Machine
Hype Machine is a dynamic looping duo that blends live instrumentation with infectious rhythms, creating a fun, high-energy atmosphere that invites audiences to groove, dance, and lose themselves in the music. The project is driven by the talents of seasoned musicians Josh Blake (guitar, bass, synth) and Marisa Blake (drums, vocals), whose chemistry on stage sparks an electrifying performance.
