Andrew Grimm

It’s all damn good. Slotting between Americana, roots and rock. A good example of forgetting labels and letting the music speak for itself. And it really does. Loudly.”

June Star (Duo) @ Racers' Cafe w/Safety Coffin and The Tilt Orchestra

Racers' Cafe, Parkville, MD

June Star:
Baltimore Maryland’s June Star (Andrew Grimm and Dave Hadley), with aching vocals and plaintive folk arrangements, comes off like a Smog-era Bill Callahan if he had chosen to dive inward or The Jayhawks if they were more keen to stark emotional realism. Grimm’s rich baritone voice and Hadley’s atmospheric, elegiac pedal steel  brings a time-honored aesthetic to their unique tales of fractious love, quixotic anxiety, the looming shadow of death, and the promise of redemption. June Star has performed in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington DC and West Virginia. https://www.junestar.com/

Safety Coffin is a raw, unfiltered blues-rock and garage-punk duo based in Asheville, North Carolina. Formed in 2019, the band consists of Matthew Aaron McWaters (guitar/vocals) and Quinn Thomas McKearney (drums).

Tilt Orchestra:

The Tilt is an experimental pop rock band from Florida with an ever-expanding style and palette. Consisting of drummer William Gensmer, bassist Taylor Panico, vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Zaeta, and vocalist/guitarist Sawyer Dobbs, the quartet's flexible sound encompasses everything from jazz and funk, to punk and hardcore, to pop and dance music while retaining an identity of its own.
