Local Music Showcase – Multiple Artistes!!!

John McClellan
…is a singer/songwriter performing original compositions on acoustic guitar. Prior to this, he co-founded and performed with SF-based pop/punk band Virgin Release, Marshal Fields, and later, played acoustic bass with the Johnny Serrano quartet. His music can be found on Bandcamp and Spotify under the name “John Mac and the Moraggots.” His influences include The Beatles, Elliot Smith, the Wood Brothers and Wes Montgomery.

The Frost Heaves & HaLeS
…are joining us to celebrate the release of their NEW EP,

“Welcome to My Haunted Heart”

They have been crafting confections you eat with your ears ever since erupting from the wilds of Western Massachusetts in 2005.

The band’s songbook includes some 100 original tunes and more than three dozen covers — many of them written or selected for special occasions like movie screenings and tribute nights.

The Heaves have opened for national acts like Cotton Jones, the High Dials, and Mean Creek. Notable events and venues where the group has performed include the Green River, Upper Valley, and Hilltown music festivals, the Franklin County Fair, Iron Horse Music Hall, and One Longfellow Square in Portland, Maine. They’ve also served as the house band for Amherst Live.

Donald McCullough
…is the founder and guardian of the Local Music Showcase, and a singer/songwriter-type himself. So every once in a while he gives himself a slot and bashes out a few tunes. He’ll play a mix of ‘hidden gem’ covers, and his own introspective originals.
