The Happy Fits – Under The Shade of Green Tour

With Daisy The Great, Phoneboy

The Happy Fits’ third full-length is a massive leap forward for the New Jersey trio, who have already built a serious following with their energetic and electrifying pop-rock style. At once a showcase of rock-solid songcraft and gleeful experimentation, Under the Shade of Green is a deceptively bright opus that also zooms in on the anxieties and catastrophes of daily life while never losing its irresistibly hooky attitude.

Neko Case and Patty Griffin

Equally revered in the realms of indie and Americana, Neko Case is known for “putting her big, torchy voice behind larger-than-life imagery” (New York Times). Case recently released Wild Creatures, a career retrospective that includes the most impactful tracks from her discography.

Patty Griffin, a 2-time Grammy Award winner and 7-time nominee, is a quintessentially American artist whose wide-ranging canon incisively explores the intimate moments and universal emotions that bind us together. Her songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.

Lord Huron with Special Guests First Aid Kit

Lord Huron with Special Guests First Aid Kit

Recently, those good-time bootscooters known as Lord Huron booked the live room in Whispering Pines for a recordin’ spell. Those boys know what they’re doin’, having made a few records with us. But the live room, this was a first. If you’ve ever recorded at the Pines, then you know nothin’ is off limits. Guitars, cymbals, pianos, pedal steel, mandolins, microphones, saxophones—I was glad to see their hands on all of it. I even heard ’em talk about recordin’ a gigantic string and woodwind orchestra in some dang place like Sweden. The boys filled the air—and my own soul—with those tales of hard luck, heartbreak, and redemption, as if they had become conduits for the spirits of the room and were usin’ them to tap into that cosmic eternal. It was like some long, lost dream come to life, a forgotten classic from a parallel dimension, the echo of a memory that wasn’t mine. But the feelin’ was real. I must have drifted off in a cosmic slumber with the tunes janglin’ heavy and happy in my heart. When I woke, the light from the next day was easin’ into the Pines and I was alone. But somethin’ caught my eye: a hand-scratched note bound to a faded vinyl record called “Long Lost.” I brushed the dust off the cover and saw that the artist was none other than Lord Huron. Say, Tubbs, the note read. Time washes aways what man creates, but ‘Long Lost’ might convince you that a note can live on. Be good now. And just like that, they were gone.

An Evening with Goose

Performances: Aug 12 & Aug 13 @7pm

Promotional

Goose fluidly traverse genres with head-spinning hooks, technical fireworks, and the kind of chemistry only possible among small town and longtime friends. Following 2016’s moon cabin, the Norwalk, CT quintet quietly took flight, playing countless shows during their ascent while slowly and steadily amassing a nationwide following.

Shenanigans Nite Club, released in June 2021, encapsulates the band’s rise. The nine track project is an ode to oft-forgotten vestiges of Goose's experience, both personal and collective. Bestowing deserved éclat on the emergent musicians, the album debuted at number one on Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums chart. Goose kicks off 2022 with a nationwide headlining a jam-packed summer tour. Dripfield, the band’s third studio offering, is scheduled for release on June 24th, 2022. The album is an introspective dissection of Goose’s journey, anchored by a theme of balance.
