Ryan Egan (The Ugly Club) + Daniel Amedee + Kyla Quinn + Zoë Sundra @ The Way Station

8pm- Ryan Egan (The Ugly Club)
Genre: Indie/Alternative/Acoustic
For fans of: The Shins, Wilco, Jeff Buckley

Fearlessly honest and unwaveringly persistent, The Ugly Club has been operating for nearly three years with such a force that it has become impossible to ignore them (and you would be foolish to do so). With the July 2012 release of their debut album, "You Belong To The Minutes", The Ugly Club is vocally ambitious and teeming with intelligent arrangements not unlike the most progressive artists of our time. Reaching psychedelic highs comparable to My Morning Jacket and Radiohead, the delicate inclusion of jazz, indie-rock, and Prince-eqsue neo-funk sends listeners into an unanticipated daydream.

"The Union County-based band has excelled at crafting psych-pop melodies with a punchy funk beat." - Paste Magazine

"Very sweet." - Bob Boilen - All Songs Considered/NPR

"The Ugly Club may want to change their name, because their future's pretty good-looking." - MTV Buzzworthy

"Floating somewhere between indie-rock, pop melodies and psychedelic piano lines,
you'll find New Jersey's The Ugly Club." - FILTER Magazine

"If you're not a believer of the phrase 'hard work pays off,' then maybe you should take a look at The Ugly Club." -CMJ

"Guys, pay attention. This is a really good one. The Ugly Club are going to fly." - Adrian Grenier (Entourage/Wreckroom Records)

9pm- Daniel Amedee
Genre: Folk, Rock, Blues
For fans of: John Lennon, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison

Daniel Amedee is a New Orleans musician who plays an acoustic driven style of folk rock.  He’s currently recorded two albums at Radical House Studios in San Francisco, CA with producer Charles Gonzalez (Coo Coo Birds, Blank Tapes). The first, "Themes From…" was released in May 2011 worldwide through Expat Records and the second, "Climbing", will be released in the coming months. My records feature performances by percussionist Pat Spurgeon (Rogue Wave), Sylvain Carton (Beats Antique, John Vanderslice), and Charith Premawardhana (Mars Volta, Classical Revolution) as well as many other great musicians from the bay area.

Daniel Amedee is a 26-year old singer from New Orleans. He describes his music as orchestral rock but I guess you might as well say it's folk? I don’t know. En tout cas, his debut album Themes From ... is beautifully dreamy, very well produced and overall pretty enjoyable! A fitting warm summer evening soundtrack. --Hendrik Schimpler - Poule D'or

New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, right? I guess this is why the city is often referred to as the most unique in America, as Daniel Amedee is a singer songwriter who demonstrates a real knack for writing gorgeous cinematic choral pieces, like Home And Heartfelt . --James Godwin - Informal Flick-Thru

Daniel Amedee captures the soul of Cat Stevens in his incredible lyrics with a dynamic voice that can bellow low like that of Leonard Cohen or reach high like Elliot Smith. This is topped off with biting, epic music reminiscent of Arcade Fire. We are excited about the future of this talented New Orleans singer songwriter. --Jeff Libby - CEO of Expat Records
