Papi Shiitake

Authenticity in music can feel a bit rare these days. Thankfully, radiant exceptions are still out there. Fueled by an unflinching appreciation of life, an outsized diet of anime and a rock solid understanding of how to craft a great song, Papi Shiitake is on a singular mission: transport his listeners far away from the daily grind. Even if for just a few moments at a time.

Employing lush, hypnotizing guitars, reverb-drenched melodies, and an arsenal of diverse, heady instrumentation, the NYC-based dream-pop singer/producer spins a web of 60’s inspired dreamscapes that bring the tensions down and the tranquility up. His sound lies somewhere between Mac DeMarco and Kanye West: giant laid-back, intoxicating vibes that surprise and inspire.

Ruby Lou

Ruby Lou is a piano-driven, melodic rock and roll band that treads the line between chugging rhythm and lyricism (think Velvet Underground or a more ragged, country-leaning Talking Heads), and the loose heaviness you might hear in early grunge like Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Our band sprouted out of the western MA DIY community after many years of sharing bills with each other’s bands. The songs are a collection of writings from over the years by Kasey Greene, the band’s piano player. Our band is comprised of bass, guitar, drums, 3-part harmonies, and our signature 64 key upright piano which we pack into our pink and green short bus when we hit the wild and open road.

The Whip Appeal

In the cave or on a wide wooden stage, WHIP APPEAL could be a Jazz band. An American Band. Bottom Shelf Country night caps & Roll Rocking; mixing inebriation & agility to elegantly ride waves of Live Oak root in the brick sidewalks almost home.
