8pm- Squirrels From Hell
Genre: Low-Volume Underground Garage Rock
For fans of: original music that spans multiple styles, but always with honesty, energy, and lyrics that reach for the true depiction of life in 21st Century America.

Known as “The Band New York City Couldn’t Kill,” these long-time original rockers have weathered all the storms life and our corrupt culture can muster. They push on, driven by the demands of an artistic inspiration that will not release them. Squirrels From Hell fired their marketing and booking staff years ago, and have found creative satisfaction by dealing truth-to-truth with a limited number of producers, promoters, and club owners who have earned their trust. While they freely share much of their music at www.hellsville.com, only the raw but controlled energy of a live performance will demonstrate how Squirrels From Hell continue to influence NY music culture.

SFH have been celebrated for their “Art Punk oddness,” and officially designated “The lowest of the low-rent bands,” whatever that means.

9pm- Ewald
Genre: Rock
For fans of: Bill Withers, Motown, Jam Bands

The groove of Ewald speaks for itself.  The songs of Ewald speak to everyone…
Brooklyn based band, Ewald includes Jason Ewald on Vox and Drums, Jim Saxa on Bass, Andreas Arnold on Guitar and Kevin Bernstein on Keys. Since transplanting to Brooklyn from the Bay Area 5 years ago, Jason has penned a number of beautiful tunes inspired by city life all of which can be found on his two new albums, "Ewald" and "The Brooklyn Bedroom Sessions".  Ewald's music is a groove infused mix of rock and 70’s pop and Jason's voice is like an old comforting friend.  Ewald has been compared to the likes of Bill Withers, Jack Johnson, Steely Dan and Lenny Kravitz.
