Local Music Showcase – Multiple Artists!!!

Laura Lockie was scheduled to play a showcase not too long ago, but had to postpone, due to illness. We’re happy to have rescheduled her! Laura recently moved to Brattleboro from Atlanta, Georgia, where she regularly played jams, open mics and occasional gigs with other musicians, and as a solo artist. She has recorded a CD of mostly original material with guitarist Charles King and has appeared in film and television as background actor and singer. Her set includes a mix of covers from different eras and genres and original material in the American singer/songwriter tradition.

Benjamin Jayne’s music has been compared to bands like The National, Nick Drake, and Beck, and his baritone vocals have been compared to Leonard Cohen. His latest record, “Broken”, reveals an entirely new vocal range. The music tends to be on the darker side, melancholic and reflective and would typically be considered folk rock. Though, he uses interesting electronic elements and sometimes gets a little too heavy to be called folk.

OH DAD is the alias of a sad boi from Springfield, VT. The type of music for rainy days and riding your moped into the sunset. A little punk, a little folk, but not both. Heavily hip hop inspired, but you’d never know. Cover your ears or mouth, you decide.
