About lespecial:
lespecial is redefining the term “power trio”. The multi-instrumentalists from Connecticut continue to push the boundaries of what a three-piece band is capable of both live and in the studio ahead of their latest album, “Odd Times”. The band’s signature blend of “heavy future groove” combines headbanging metal riffage and surgical rhythmic precision with bone shaking 808s, sub synths and ethereal vocal stylings for a dance floor that welcomes moshing, dancing and hip swaying alike. Listeners are taken on a journey to the musical netherworld through esoteric soundscapes punctuated by raw, primal power.

The Lineup:
8PM: DJ Tri-Tip & lespecial Meet & Greet
9:30-midnight: DJ Sets from Drunken Doja Monkey & Jonny G

About John:
A sound and style that could easily have come from Memphis or Chicago is perhaps what makes John Lackard and his Green Mountain origin so unique. Not just another trip on the “Blues Bandwagon” that is so ever popular today. This is the real thing.
His apparent connection and understanding began when his father brought the Boogie Woogie piano and records into the household, and started a career that has lasted over half of a century. John’s first real musical instrument at the age of five was a Hohner harmonica. Being only eight when he went to work selling greeting cards for points toward a plastic electric guitar. It was followed by a Silvertone “Stella” 12 string acoustic guitar when he was nine. During this time, John moved next door to Buddy Truax, jazz guitarist of “Buddy Truax And The Playboys”. This early influence was enhanced by Buddy’s sons who played bass and drums, providing a rhythm section to jam with in addition to Buddy’s informal “lessons”. By age fifteen he was ready for his first professional stage appearance. Touring New York and New England for a few years led to a stint with Sam the Sham, sit-ins with James Cotton, Jimmy Rogers and Bob Margolin, working with Cotton’s drummer as Ken Johnson and Co., in addition to opening shows for Jimmy and James as well as countless others. After which Jimmy declared “That boy kicks the hell out of the Blues!” James simply stated, “The Blues is in Vermont”. Currently in process of recording a CD, one of the tracks titled “I Wanna Go Back” can be heard on the compilation album “Best of The Green Mountain Blues Vol. 1”. The future promises a continued extensive touring schedule that previously prompted a radio D.J. to proclaim the John Lackard Blues Band “The Hardest Working Blues Band in New England”.

This is a free show, first come first served, and you're welcome to stay for as long as you'd like! No outside food or drink is allowed.

About Minced Oats:
Minced Oats is a VT-based bluegrass group, born from a jam-session on a porch, in a quiet little neighborhood, as a safe means of continuing to play music during an unpredictable world during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Founding members Stephen Bernard (Mandolin), Willy Watson (Guitar) and Matt Speroni (Bass) formed a communicative musical bond resulting in innovative string music spanning the traditional ideal and pushing a unique style for the future, while rooting themselves in tradition. After meeting local banjo mainstay, Thomas Bryce, the four began formulating the blueprint for an ideal Bluegrass band. Thomas's driving banjo rolls and traditional sensibilities brought new life to their existing catalog, while introducing them to a whole range of banjo-centric instrumental tunes. At the start of the new year in 2023, they were joined by local violinist extraordinaire, Tim Swanson, to take on the role of "Bluegrass Fiddler" with his multi-genre background, and hauntingly beautiful dynamics. The band immediately became a family and a beautiful musical partnership, while catapulting themselves as frontrunners in the Vermont Bluegrass scene. As a result, they have earned themselves nominations for 2023 "Best Bluegrass Artist" and "Best Country Artist" for Vermont's coveted "Seven Daysies Awards", and continue to pave the path forward on what defines themselves as a true Bluegrass group in the Vermont music scene, and beyond.

About Jimkata: 
Four years after going on hiatus, Jimkata is back with a renewed sense of purpose and an extraordinary new album. Recorded in Syracuse with producer Jason Randall, Bonfires finds the trio digging deep and stretching their boundaries with bold, intoxicating arrangements fueled by swirling synthesizers and anthemic hooks. The songs here are at once modern and classic, blurring the lines between the organic and the electronic as they reckon with doubt, struggle, and perseverance in a search for truth and meaning. Like much of Jimkata’s catalog, Bonfires delivers transcendence in tight, dance floor-ready packages, but there’s a sense of freedom at play that pushes the trio’s performances to new emotional heights, a kind of liberation that can only come from learning to let go of expectation and embrace the moment. “I think the time away brought us all more maturity, more patience, an ability to see the bigger picture,” says singer/guitarist Evan Friedell. “We all gained a lot of perspective on life and the value of being in a band together.” Indeed, the heart and soul of Jimkata has always been the enduring bonds between Friedell and his longtime bandmates, guitarist/keyboardist Aaron Gorsch and drummer Packy Lunn. Pals since middle school, the three launched Jimkata in 2005 while attending Ithaca College, where they quickly found an audience for their relentlessly feel-good performances, which grew from local house parties to club, theater, and festival dates on the strength of a series of critically acclaimed albums. Popdose hailed the band’s “bubbly sweetness,” while American Songwriter praised their “organic chemistry,” and Relix raved that the trio’s sound “proves that rock-based music still has a place in the world of four-on-the-floor beats.”

About All Night Boogie Band:

All Night Boogie Band is a blues, rock & roll, and soul inspired band hailing from the GreenMountains of Burlington, Vermont. Formed in late 2021, the young yet experienced quintet expresses a unique sound full of originality, vigor, and dedication to the resonance of great American music. Seven Days (VT’s Weekly) described their 2022 debut single “A Woman Like I” as “Asix-minute-plus blast of blues and soul, the track reveals a shocking amount of authenticity for such a young band. Massive, soulful vocals; big horns; and a powerfully tight rhythm section combine to create a huge blues sound.”

Their 2022 debut album “Taste These Blues” was also reviewed by Seven Days: “The youngBurlington band has put out a record brimming with love for the blues, as well as hints of jazz and soul music. Taste These Blues, the band's debut, showcases guitarist Brendan Casey's strong and studious songwriting and lead singer Jessica Leone's powerful, soulful vocals. Over eight tracks, the band showcases impressive instrumental prowess but also hints at a strong live show. It's a compelling debut, full of character and promise.”

Their 2nd LP titled “Angel of the Airwaves”, was released on August 3rd, 2023. Seven Days says, “with their second LP, Angel of the Airwaves, All Night Boogie Band have lived up to the promise of their debut. The group has delivered a versatile record that remains steeped in its blues roots while pursuing new stylistic frontiers with which Taste These Blues merely flirted.”

All Night Boogie Band was featured as a Relix Magazine “Artist on the Rise” in their July 2022Edition, won Vermont’s 2023 Blues Challenge, and were Semifinalists at the Blues Foundation’sInternational Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee in January 2023. They were nominated for “Best Blues Artist” in the 2023 Seven Daysies Awards and as“Vermont Rising Stars” in the 2023 New England Music Awards.

When he graduated High School it continued on into two music degrees in performance; one from SUNY Adirondack in Queensbury, NY, and the second from The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY. It was here in New York’s Capital Region alongside his tours in and around the northeast that Ryan grew and became the musician he is today.
