All-ages show!
Hello SharK:
“Burlington, Vermont’s Hello Shark is comprised of Newburyport, MA native Linc Halloran, Sean Hood and Alex Decato. In 2006, he released the albums Bumble Bees and Organ Trees and Book Lungs. His lyrics about insects, romance, and friends are best described as quirky, endearing, and disarming.
In 2009, The Boston Phoenix declared Hello Shark one of the 50 Best New Bands in America: “Endearingly lo-fi, minimalist acoustic campfire ballads about topics as disparate as romance and insects, all delivered with aching sincerity. There are a few embellishments from Casio keyboards, drums, and guest vocalists, but for the most part it is simply the work of Linc Halloran and his guitar. Sounds kind of like Cowboy Junkies if they junked their sister singer and replaced her with a pathologically shy entomologist. It’s the kind of thing that could seem affected, but because it’s so spare and straightforward, Halloran (er, Hello Shark) makes it work.”” - https://burstandbloom.wordpress.com/artists/hello-shark/

Dan Blakeslee:
“With a suitcase of songs, Maine folk troubadour Dan Blakeslee ventured into the subways of Boston in 1995 to practice his craft. He has been making music and art throughout New England ever since, leading him to tour the U.S. performing with Langhorne Slim, The Low Anthem, David Wax Museum, Lydia Loveless, The Lumineers, Old 97′s, Brown Bird, Josh Ritter, Death Vessel and Kimya Dawson among others. In 2015 his dream of playing Newport Folk Festival became a reality, where Bob Dylan went electric 50 years earlier. Blakeslee’s band The Calabash Club formed in 2008 and released their third album together “Christmasland Jubilee” a rollicking, jubilant Christmas album on December 1, 2020. Blakeslee is unafraid to bare his very soul on stage, emptying a loaded cache of emotion and passion onto the stage for all to witness, explore and devour.” - https://danblakeslee.com
