Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM Surf Hat What started as a joke between friends on a beach in Tofino has gradually snowballed intosomething real. In 2022, a loose pact was made: start something new, don’t overthink it, andwrite catchy songs that feel relatable and genuine.Based in the mountain town of Squamish, British Columbia, Surf Hat have been crafting theirown version of cold-water surf rock—beach music written somewhere between the ocean andthe mountains. Their sound floats somewhere between breezy shimmer of Allah-Las, the looseswagger of The Growlers, and the off-kilter quirkiness of Talking Heads.The band has quickly built momentum the old-fashioned way: writing constantly and taking theirmusic on the road. Surf Hat have released three full-length albums,includingModern WorldBluesreleased in November 2025, a record that expands their sound without losing the loose,unhurried spirit the band started with.Following their most recent release, Surf Hat have spent the year circling the globe on sold outheadline tours across Canada, the United States, and Australia, convincingly turning casuallisters into lifelong fans. Next, they’ll head back out across Canada supporting The Sheepdogson some of the country’s biggest stages—not bad for a band named aftera hat. Brothers Saint Philadelphia-based Brothers Saint blend indie pop-rock hooks with heavy guitars, emo energy, and nostalgic alternative rock influences. Following their debut EP, Community Garden , in late 2025, Brothers Saint released their second EP, Had Youth , in early 2026, alongside singles including “Better Now” and “Losing My Keys.” The band will release Magnolia in October 2026—their third EP in less than a year—recorded at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, PA. Built around catchy melodies, emotional songwriting, and a live sound that hits harder than the recordings suggest, Brothers Saint pulls from indie rock, pop-rock, emo, and ’90s/2000s alternative without settling neatly into any one lane. Brothers Saint is Dylan Youngs, Ben Deibert, Alex McDonald, and Pat Halpert.

Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM Wesley Joseph The Forever Tour 2026 Unguarded, wholly realised and entirely his own – Wesley Joseph’s long-awaited debut album sees the singer, songwriter, producer and director at his most confidently vulnerable, expressing the many layers of his creative life journey. “I looked in the mirror more than I ever have with this record,” he says. “It unexpectedly became a coming of age album. I was reaching from different periods in my life and into the present – some songs were cinematic snapshots, others sobering realities or romanticised memories. Dreaming has always been a raincoat from reality and making the record allowed things to be processed in the real world” Resolutely genreless, it is Joseph’s singular voice and vision that unifies these tracks, cracking from raw rap self-expression to singing with soulful, understated, conviction. “This record is a product of my musical DNA,” he says. “It feels original because it’s not trying to fit in one space – it’s all my influences at once. I grew up with soul music and r&b being played around the house, I’ve never not had rap music around me, and as I got older I spent a lot of time in my headphones getting lost on the internet – which led to a love of everything from electronic music to psychedelic records.” Moving to London to study filmmaking, Joseph began developing his instinctive visual sensibility. He has consequently directed all of his music videos to date, being hands on from initial storyboarding to editing and colour grading – creating a cinematic, luscious perspective reflected in the award-winning visuals for singles like “Thrilla” and “Monsoon” “I didn’t always have the resources I needed so I had to learn things for myself. I was always punching above my weight, and always self-sufficient – because I simply care too much about what I make” he says. “Beneath the polished nature of what I’m releasing is someone who is trying to make the best work I can while I’m here.” On “Peace of Mind” for instance, Joseph spits venomously over a rumbling sub bass and earworming hook, channeling a younger version of himself who was in a darker place in his life and contrasting that perspective with the confidence of now: “Recording the tears I never shed,” he raps. “Seasick” alternatively sees Joseph tap into a psychedelic-punk, indie-soul sensibility, recounting the turbulence of a relationship and how going through the storm is still worth it if you love someone. “Pluto Baby” plays through woozy synths and reverberating guitars, mixing driving instrumentals with sobering lyrics and “July” strikes a soulful, expansive note as old friends Jorja Smith and Joseph rejoice and reflect on the journey they have made.

AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM Crucial Device Crucial Device is a guitar and synth -driven band from Philly blending upbeat industrialized rhythms, stark and quirky synth textures, dark thrash elements, and mid-tempo heavy hitters. Urgent, aggressive vocals drive the band’s tongue-in- cheek devotion to its self-created Synthpunk scene, presenting the music as both a lifestyle and a bold response to dystopian modern times. Visually dynamic music videos highlight the band’s creativity, dark humor, and occasional self-deprecating edge, delivering a sound and cadence reminiscent of a harder-hitting fusion of Devo, Gary Numan, the Ramones, the Circle Jerks, and more. https://crucialdevice.com/ Indigo Ranch Reminiscent of C86-era pop music enveloped in a wall of hiss, Indigo Ranch is described as, “A contrite and rainy release, remnant of the saddest and most obscure UK 80s indie pop.” Every song is an unclear disclosure, late night confession, or phone booth lullaby. Mazzy Star with muscle, Ladytron on cough syrup or if Joy Division was born in Sonora. https://indigoranch.bandcamp.com/ David E. Williams DAVID E.
