Meet our local band lineup for this Sunday!

12pm: Ivy Boy @ivyboymusic is the indie folk project of Boston-based singer-songwriter Perry Eaton. Eaton, who has worn many hats within the Boston music scene over the years (from songwriter of indie quartet Beeef to Founding Editor of the storied local music blog Allston Pudding), finds a bit of a different tune with Ivy Boy. Here he takes a more acoustic approach while still maintaining the infectious nature of resonant hooks and pop-tinged melodies.

1pm: Puppy Problems @puppy__problems is a group of friends (Sami, Max, Nick, Kaera) making music in Boston, MA. We like to have fun despite what you may think.

2pm: Mozz @mozz.wav is the recording project of Cole Triedman, also known as frontman of Somerville garage country rockers Fortuna 500. Mozz songs are somewhere between freak folk and indie, often touching on themes of dogs, wolves, and canines.

3pm: Slo-anne @slo_anneee is a Boston-based three piece who blends slacker rock n’ roll with alt-country to create infectious pop earworms. 

4pm: Emi McSwain @emimcswain is a singer-songwriter and content creator in Boston, Massachusetts. After receiving her degree in songwriting from Berklee College of Music in 2022, she took to Instagram to show Boston’s hidden gems and highlight the music scene in the city. Inspired by 90s alternative bands, she approaches complicated topics with an obvious sense of humor.

5pm: Happy Just to See You @happyjusttoseeyou is a Boston and NH based band that makes confessional indie rock that can sometimes exhibit classic warning signs of being a little yeehaw.

We can’t wait to rock with you all this weekend!
