These nights create a chance for the community to check in with our LEAF Fellows throughout the year – to see how their work is evolving\, spend time together in the room\, and support both the artists onstage and the program growing around them.

SUMMARY:Brett Dennen - Art is Life
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: Total ticket price at checkout is $42.00 (inclusive of $7.00 service fee)\n\n\n\nAT THE DOOR: $45\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrett Dennen has built a career around exploring the full spectrum of human emotion through thoughtful\, melodic songwriting. His eighth studio album\, If It Takes Forever\, reflects that approach with warmth and honesty\, blending Americana\, folk-rock\, blues\, and roots-inspired sounds. Written in the wake of his father’s passing in 2023\, the album became a way for Dennen to process grief\, reflect on life\, and consider who he wants to be moving forward. He spent months gathering ideas\, voice memos\, and melodies before quickly shaping them into finished songs. \n\n\n\nRecorded in just five days in Los Angeles with his longtime band and producer Jon Solo\, the album carries both immediacy and emotional depth. Songs like “In the Garden\,” “Wood Canoe\,” and “Chipping Away” explore themes of love\, resilience\, and personal growth\, while collaborative recording gave the project a strong sense of unity. Since his 2004 debut\, Dennen has earned a loyal following through extensive touring\, chart success\, and TV placements. With If It Takes Forever\, he continues to find meaning in turning life’s challenges into music that connects and comforts. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

Early in his career\, he spent nearly a decade touring nationally with the Boston-based band Babaloo\, as well as performing and studying jazz\, Caribbean traditions\, and music of the African diaspora. After arriving in Maine\, he quickly became active on the local music scene\, performing with a range of artists and groups during his first decade in the state\, including Esperanza\, Sean Mencher\, Kate Schrock\, and Rob Sylvain’s Cajun Aces. \n\n\n\nFor the past 25 years\, Marc has been based in South Portland\, Maine\, where he has built his career\, contributed to the region’s creative community\, and raised his daughter. His work reflects a strong connection to place\, shaped in part by time spent along the waterfront at Willard Beach and Bug Light—landmarks that continue to inform his artistic perspective. \n\n\n\nMarc is dedicated to bringing people together through music and cultural exchange. He is a longtime member of Primo Cubano\, and the bandleader\, composer and arranger for his 7-piece brass band\, Raging Brass.

He founded the indie rock band Mo Lowda & The Humble in 2010 and\, due to its intense touring schedule\, the band became his main priority along with his side project NightSeason (founded in 2016) – an indie/electro-pop producer duo. Though he always felt writing folk songs was his true “wheelhouse”\, it wasn’t until the nationwide lockdown in early 2020 that he finally put aside the time to record a collection of those songs for his first solo album ‘Only Real When Shared’. His second record\, a more mature and textural follow up entitled\, ‘This Could Be Everything’\, was released August 2nd\, 2024 and is streaming everywhere. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteve Rondo:\n\n\n\nRondo has built a following across the Northeast\, touring beach towns\, dive bars\, and regional festivals. Songs like Flowers of La Jolla and Afternoon Rebellion showcase his blend of heartfelt storytelling and guitar-driven arrangements — music made for long drives and reflection.  \n\n\n\nA surfer at heart\, Rondo brings coastal atmosphere into his songwriting. His songs mirror the ocean’s push and pull — building into anthemic choruses before settling into calm. Themes of freedom\, uncertainty\, and searching for direction run throughout his work\, capturing the feeling of chasing waves and dreams.  \n\n\n\nLive\, Rondo and his band balance raw emotion with communal energy. Highlights include opening for Dermot Kennedy in Portland\, Maine in 2022\, plus performances at Levitate Music Festival and 92.5 The River’s Riverfest\, cementing their reputation as a rising live act in the region. His latest releases expand his sound while staying true to what defines it: honest lyrics\, dynamic rock arrangements\, and the wide-open feeling of life close to the water.  \n\n\n\nSteve Rondo’s music is for anyone navigating the space between where they are and where they’re headed — best played loud\, windows down\, somewhere near the coast.  \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: Total ticket price at checkout is $24.50 (inclusive of $4.50 service fee)\n\n\n\nAT THE DOOR: $25\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMuch like their sorrowful\, purposeful melodies\, the members of The Last Revel contain this thick thread of self\, and of place\, when it comes to the underlying trait in the sounds and scope of their intent\, onstage and in the studio — survival mode.“Honestly\, I don’t know if we would’ve been able to do this career for as long as we have without persistence\,” says guitarist Lee Henke. “By living in a challenging place\, it’s definitely conditioned us to have a high tolerance for discomfort\, a certain toughness to push ahead.”That sentiment of tenacity and passion lies at the heart of The Last Revel’s latest album\, Gone for Good. Produced by Trampled by Turtles lead singer Dave Simonett\, the record is a multilayered ode to the life of an artist\, life on the road\, and what it means to be a human being in uncertain times.“This is a step in our careers that feels like there’s no going back\,” says banjoist Ryan Acker. “There’s a level of commitment now that\, just a couple of years ago\, we didn’t fathom we could take on. The boat is off the shore and you can’t see land anymore — we’re in it now.”Based in Minneapolis\, Minnesota\, the Americana/indie-folk outfit harkens to the trials\, tribulations\, and triumphs of what it means to pursue your dreams in real time. The foundation of which is conjured by a deep appreciation and genuine respect for the vast landscape and sometimes-harsh realities of what it means to emerge from the Midwest. \n\n\n\n“We grew up in the Midwest and we’ve all kind of stayed in this region of the country\,” Henke notes. “This place has imprinted itself on who we are\, and that challenge of life here is part of who we are now.” \n\n\n\nAlongside Henke and Acker is fiddler Vinnie Donatelle. When the ensemble finds themselves behind the microphone\, it’s the culmination of their vocal talents that truly showcases the mission of The Last Revel — harmony. \n\n\n\n“There’s no better feeling [when we’re singing together]\,” Acker says. “And it makes you understand something primal\, these melodies and these harmonies. It’s internal and it’s really powerful to sing your heart out with the people you love and your best friends.” \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n40 Thieves (feat.

SUMMARY:House of Hamill
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $25 (+ $5.50 service fee)\n\n\n\nAT THE DOOR: $35\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHouse of Hamill owes its existence – almost entirely – to a series of cancelled flights. \n\n\n\nRose Baldino and Brian Buchanan first found themselves onstage together at the 2014 Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City. \n\n\n\nRose’s band Burning Bridget Cleary was scheduled to perform\, but inclement weather prevented two of her bandmates from flying. Desperate to salvage the showcase\, Rose approached Brian\, who she knew fronted Canadian celtic rock band Enter the Haggis. She thrust a guitar into Brian’s hands\, pulled him onstage\, and the two just clicked. \n\n\n\nFour years and hundreds of shows later\, the duo was booked to play a closing slot at a Colorado festival\, so they hired a bass player and drummer to fill out their sound. By the oddest of coincidences\, their hired bandmates’ flights were canceled the day of the show. A frantic Facebook post introduced Brian and Rose to local musician Caroline Browning\, who joined them on bass for the weekend. Once again\, the chemistry was undeniable\, and House of Hamill became a trio. \n\n\n\nToday\, Pennsylvania-based House of Hamill is a fixture on festival stages across the US\, and have shared their music and stories on the country’s premier folk stages. Their original song “Banks of the Brandywine” was a Grand Prize winner in the 2024 John Lennon Songwriting Contest\, and the video for their all-violin cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” amassed over 16 million views on Facebook\, where it was shared over 400\,000 times.  \n\n\n\nThe band’s newest release\, “Wildfire\,”  marks House of Hamill‘s most compelling work to date. Featuring their strongest and most exciting songwriting\, “Wildfire” is filled with lyrical depth\, sophisticated vocal and instrumental arrangements\, and hooks that are simply irresistible. This album captures the vibrant energy and creativity that have become the hallmarks of a House of Hamill live show. \n\n\n\nWhether they’re ripping through a set of original jigs and reels\, adding lush three-part harmonies into traditional folk ballads\, or cracking up an audience with stories from the road\, House of Hamill puts on a show that captivates audiences from the very first note. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: Total ticket price at checkout is $24.50 (inclusive of $4.50 service fee)\n\n\n\nAT THE DOOR: $30\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiz Longley is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter celebrated for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice and deeply emotional music. Known for her distinctive blend of folk\, pop\, and Americana\, Liz has earned accolades from prestigious songwriting competitions\, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition. \n\n\n\nHer self-titled debut album was praised as “stunning” (HuffPost) and marked by “cleverness and wit” (Dallas Morning News). The follow-up\, Weightless (2016)\, was lauded as “a thing of beauty” by Pop Dose. Liz’s sixth album\, Funeral For My Past\, became a notable success after her fans raised over $150\,000 on Kickstarter to fund its independent release\, making her the #4 most funded solo female musician in Kickstarter history. The album received widespread acclaim\, with Forbes calling it “stunning” and Billboard highlighting its diverse range from Americana to shimmering pop anthems. \n\n\n\nBecoming a mother in 2022 profoundly impacted Liz’s songwriting\, infusing her music with greater depth and perspective. Her most recent album\, New Life (2025)\, reflects this new chapter in her life\, showcasing both her personal growth and her continued evolution as an artist. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEleanor Buckland: \n\n\n\nEleanor Buckland made her start as one-third of Lula Wiles\, the Boston-based folk-rock trio that became an acoustic music scene favorite with their three critically hailed albums\, the most recent two released on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. Now living in Durham\, NC\, the singer songwriter has turned to a new page as a solo artist. Buckland’s debut album You Don’t Have To Know (released October 2021 on Soundly Music) sets her deeply personal songs against inventive indie rock arrangements.  \n\n\n\nBorn and raised in Maine\, Buckland comes from a family full of musicians. Her grandmother\, Betty Buckland\, was prominent in the New England bluegrass scene\, while her father\, Andy Buckland\, played electric guitar in Boston area bands. It’s not surprising then that someone who grew up playing bluegrass fiddle music as well as singing along to Michelle Branch and Sheryl Crow in the car would wind up with varied musical tastes – something Buckland clearly demonstrates on her solo debut and in her live shows. \n\n\n\n“Buckland’s folksy drawl plays perfectly with this fresh set of pop tunes that are seemingly built for fans of contemporary FM radio acts like Kacey Musgraves and Taylor Swift\, both nostalgically rustic and immediately modern.” – WBUR  \n\n\n\nD \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

That’s quite a long time! As we enter into year 27  – after a great deal of soul searching and consideration – we have decided to bring this chapter to a close. 2026 will be the final year of The Bad Plus. We share this news with heavy hearts\, but also with great pride in what we have accomplished. It has been a privilege to share our music with the world and we leave behind a body of work that we could not be more proud of.  \n\n\n\nWe look forward to performing our final shows throughout the coming year and hope to see as many of you as possible. This band changed our lives. Thank you all for being a part of that. \n\n\n\nWith love and gratitude\, \n\n\n\nReid and Dave \n\n\n\n\nThe Bad Plus are the ultimate originals. A democratic unit with a clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention. For the past two decades they have played with spirit and adventure\, made their own rules and done so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy categorization\, The Bad Plus has won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide with their unique sound and flair for live performance. \n\n\n\nThe Bad Plus continues to push boundaries as founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) embark on a new piano-less incarnation of the band with Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone) – instigating a new wave of excitement and anticipation within the band that is re-energizing their sound and inspiration. The Bad Plus have constantly searched to bridge genres and techniques while exploring the infinite possibilities of exceptional musicians working in perfect sync. \n\n\n\nThe Bad Plus is set to release their 18th album via Mack Avenue Records on Friday\, November 8th. “Evolution is necessary for life and creativity\,” say Dave King and Reid Anderson. “We’ve evolved\, but we’re still The Bad Plus.” \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

The New Jersey songwriter has written and recorded the bulk of his work in his basement studio over many late night sessions. Across Emily Can’t Sing\, French Blonde\, and his debut album Garden State Vampire\, he has sharpened his writing into something both ragged and precise: songs like “Fighting in the Car\,” “Off My Mind\,” “Shadow in the Sun\,” and “Birthday Baby (The Girl with No Smile)” feel diaristic without becoming slack\, polished without sanding off their nerves. His rise has unfolded in parallel with tours and dates alongside Cold War Kids\, Rainbow Kitten Surprise\, Spacey Jane\, Joywave\, Good Neighbours\, beabadoobee\, and Matt Maeson\, while his recorded work has also intersected with figures like Mt Joy and K.Flay. Across festival dates at Lollapalooza\, ACL\, and Sea.Hear.Now\, and headline shows across the US\, he has brought a massive rock energy to stages everywhere. After the release of Garden State Vampire – Stripped\, he is embarking on a solo headline tour\, bringing the personal\, intimate performances from his social media to the stage for the first time. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

With raw vocals and emotive arrangements\, he captures the tension between nostalgia and growth\, staying and leaving\, love and loss. His sound\, while distinctly his own\, lives somewhere between anthemic folk and confessional songwriting\, earning comparisons to artists like Noah Kahan and The Lumineers. \n\n\n\nHarrison’s dedication to his craft has led to sold-out shows and opening slots for artists including Sara Bareilles\, JP Saxe\, and The Lone Bellow.

SUMMARY:Terrance Simien & The Zydeco Experience (rescheduled from 2/20)
DESCRIPTION:This show was rescheduled from February 20th. All originally purchased tickets are honored for the new date.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: Total ticket price at checkout is $42.00 (inclusive of $7.00 service fee)\n\n\n\nAT THE DOOR: $45\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to Creole culture and Zydeco music\, two-time GRAMMY Award-winning Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience embody the past\, present\, and future of American roots music. This six-piece\, multigenerational\, and multicultural band is a powerhouse of formally trained and deeply seasoned musicians. Their hypnotic blend of zydeco roots – reggae – soul\, and New Orleans jazz brass band – is expertly crafted to move your spirit and lift your soul. \n\n\n\nFor more than four decades\, Simien & company have toured across more than 40 countries and performed over 9\,000 concerts worldwide. Their groundbreaking educational program\, Creole for Kidz and the History of Zydeco\, was developed 25 years ago to introduce K–12 and college students to Creole culture and zydeco’s rich history. This dynamic live performance and companion study guide have raised the cultural IQ of more than 250\,000 students\, teachers\, and families around the globe. \n\n\n\nSimien’s music has been featured in multiple major films\, and the band has made numerous on-screen appearances. A career highlight came when zydeco music was featured in Disney’s The Princess and the Frog—the first Disney film to feature a Black princess. Simien collaborated with the legendary Randy Newman on the film’s zydeco song and was thrilled to hear the word zydeco spoken on screen for the very first time in a Disney production. In 2024\, the band recorded music for the new Disney theme park ride based on the film\, now open in both U.S. parks. Disney’s massive global footprint has been a game-changer for amplifying zydeco music\, a vibrant Louisiana-rooted genre blending Creole and R&B influences\, to audiences far beyond the bayou.  \n\n\n\nDEEPER DIVE INTO DISNEY + ZYDECO: Disney parks drew 157.5 million visitors in 2023 alone (per the Themed Entertainment Association)\, with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure projected to add millions more annually. That’s direct exposure to zydeco for families\, tourists\, and superfans—many encountering the genre for the first time amid the ride’s immersive New Orleans vibe. Disney+ streams the film and related content to 150+ million subscribers\, compounding the effect. \n\n\n\nTheir music has also appeared in national television ads\, and they’ve been featured in major media outlets including Rolling Stone\, Billboard\, and The New York Times. Over the years\, Simien has recorded and performed with Paul Simon\, Art Neville\, Dr. John\, Marcia Ball\, Dennis Quaid\, The Meters\, and many more. The band has shared stages with Los Lobos\, the late Robert Palmer\, and the Dave Matthews Band. And in one unforgettable moment at a Presidential Inauguration in Washington\, D.C.\, Stevie Wonder joined them on stage to play harmonica on one of their zydeco songs—a testament to their universal reach and joyful musical spirit. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $20 (+ $4.50 service fee)\n\n\n\nAT THE DOOR: $25\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHayden Pedigo—guitarist\, absurdist\, and former Amarillo City Council candidate (and subject of Kid Candidate)—returns with I’ll Be Waving as You Drive Away\, the latest in a trilogy following Letting Go (2021) and The Happiest Times I Ever Ignored (2023). Known for pushing instrumental guitar beyond its usual boundaries\, Pedigo blends intricate fingerpicking with warped Americana\, drawing from influences as wide-ranging as John Fahey\, King Crimson\, Led Zeppelin\, and experimental rap. \n\n\n\nWritten after years of touring and shaped during an isolated residency in Wyoming\, the album is his most technically demanding and emotionally direct work to date. Stripping away past personas\, Pedigo leans into something more personal—balancing maximalist\, genre-defying compositions with moments of precision and restraint. \n\n\n\nThe final installment of his “Motor Trilogy\,” I’ll Be Waving as You Drive Away reflects on identity\, place\, and departure\, pulling from his upbringing in Amarillo and his evolving relationship to it. The result is a restless\, inventive record that captures both the absurdity and sincerity at the core of Pedigo’s work. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Instagram

Inspired by marriage\, landscapes\, and the cross-country tours that took the band across America\, these new songs were written on the road— as eclectic and evocative as the terrain that unfolded just outside the van’s windshield. \n\n\n\nOnce again\, Briscoe teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer Brad Cook to bring the songs to life\, collaboratively creating a record that expands their folk-rock sound in all directions. There are bigger arrangements\, sharper vocal harmonies\, and enough top-tier guest musicians—including members of Houndmouth\, Hiss Golden Messenger\, Bon Iver\, Mipso\, and Watchhouse—to form their own supergroup. \n\n\n\nThe result is a cinematic\, widescreen version of American roots music\, created by two lifelong friends who’ve learned to distill the thrill of the open road—and the challenges of growing up—into an ever-evolving soundtrack. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

He is regarded as one of the world’s most creative modern fingerstyle guitarists\, with a repertoire spanning original viral videos and popular arrangements\, alongside mainstream chart success performing with Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues. \n\n\n\nDawes was named ‘Best Acoustic Guitarist in the World’ two years in a row (2017 & 2018) by Total Guitar Magazine & MusicRadar reader polls\, with numerous 2nd place rankings in the proceeding years. YouTube personality Rick Beato named Mike ‘one of the finest acoustic guitar players in the world.’ \n\n\n\nHis debut release\, a solo guitar arrangement of Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used to Know\,’ quickly became a viral hit with tens of millions of views on YouTube. This success has been duplicated and expanded upon numerous times since with songs like ‘One\,’ ‘The Impossible\,’ and ‘Jump’ across multiple video platforms. \n\n\n\nHis reputation has invited him opportunities to collaborate with GRAMMY Award-winning artists such as Tommy Emmanuel\, with whom he recorded the duet record ‘Accomplice Vol. 3\,’ and the GRAMMY-nominated metal band Periphery\, with whom Mike joined on their 2024 double single release. \n\n\n\nMike is featured on multiple Justin Hayward live releases\, including Spirits…Live\, which debuted at #2 on the US Billboard Chart. Dawes also has a strong reputation as an educator\, acting as a columnist for Guitar World and Acoustic Guitar magazines\, as well as teaching guitar masterclasses all over the world\, creating apps\, publishing degree-level literature\, appearing as a TV judge on SKY TV’s Guitar Star\, and more. \n\n\n\nRecently\, he contributed electric guitars to Mentrix and Gareth Croker’s stunning soundtrack to Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown\, with other session work featured on TV shows such as AMC’s Better Call Saul. \n\n\n\nMike’s passion\, however\, is performing. He has shared the stage with acts as diverse as Tommy Emmanuel\, Christopher Cross\, Periphery\, The Aristocrats\, Justin Hayward\, and the Athens State Orchestra in 2023 alone. \n\n\n\nHis third studio album\, Galactic Acid\, is anticipated for release in August 2024. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram
