Jam Chowder
Greetings from Jam Chowder, the groove-a-licious rock band that puts a smile in your ears and a shake in your hips. If you like the Allmans, Steely Dan, the Dead, Van Morrison, Creedence, Little Feat, the Stones, Los Lonely Boys, Dr. John, Santana, and Jethro Tull, then you'll love the smokin' mix of covers we've cooked up.
We put the word 'jam' in our name because we aspire to create improvisational excitement on stage and keep it both loose AND tight in all the right places. The idea is to leave enough room to be in the moment, explore new spaces, and create a shared experience with the audience.
That's where you come in. Nothing stokes our passions more than a supportive and dancing crowd. We aim to continually grow our community - one that shares good vibes, good music, and good times together. So come on down to our next show to hoot and holler with us!

The Gleeful Conspiracy
The Gleeful Conspiracy is a Connecticut-based band that digs deep into a trick bag full of superheated guitar soul to raise earworms the size of mobile homes.
The band was created in 2020 by lockdown-confined newlyweds Thom and Whitney Guthrie as a vocal/keys and bass duo. It was a start, but it needed ... something. The drum machine on the keyboard started demanding top billing, too.
They quickly recruited drummer Mike Keyes, a fixture on the local scene. Then Fate high-fived them when Thom and Whitney ran into Jeff Carpenter and his son at a local guitar shop.
Jeff was just getting back into playing and making home recordings, but he was quickly persuaded to swerve into the glamorous rock and roll lifestyle the Guthries promised.
After a string of amazingly well-received live performances, the band recorded their first EP, Manifestival, with Michael Arafeh, Middletown's Musical Ambassador, at the Coffeehouse Studio. It was released in Spring 2024, and a full-length follow-up is already in the works.
The Conspiracy has one goal: they're here to glitterbomb your brain until you dance. Only the finest handcrafted grooves and lyrics go into every bite.
Come get your glow on!!!

Someone You Can X-Ray
Founded in 2012, Someone You Can Xray has followed its roots, evolving from a folk rock acoustic duo into a dynamic electric stage ensemble. With a high-energy, funky rock n' blues sound, 'Xray' is as much at home in an acoustic listening room as on a festival stage, engaging listeners to sing and dance along.
Their third studio album, "Hot 'N Fresh" was released on June 9, 2018, to a sold out show at Bridge Street Live, in Collinsville, CT. The music video for "Call Me" was released Jun 30, 2018. Fourth and fifth albums are being recorded and produced with new material in 2022!
Someone You Can Xray performs regularly at CT blues and rock venues, as well as festivals, weddings, private parties, and in support of charities and humanitarian causes.

Roots & Relics is a thoughtfully curated evening market honoring resilience, dormancy, and the quiet strength that carries us through difficult seasons and into new growth.
Join us March 28th from 6:00 PM to midnight for an immersive experience featuring oddities and curiosities, nature-based and organic art, botanical and fungi-inspired works, relics, roots, and earth-touched creations. Food, drink, and entertainment will be woven throughout the market, creating space to wander, connect, and discover.
This is a celebration of what endures beneath the surface, what transforms, survives, and eventually becomes something new.
Driving Route 9
DR9, from East Haddam CT, writes upbeat pop/folk music with tight male/female vocal harmony as the cornerstone. Their debut album, Matter of Time, released in 2021 showcases a Celtic twist, featuring professional Irish musicians as well as a Nashville-based sax and whistle player. Currently they frequent venues in the Connecticut River Valley area: local festivals, fairs, private events, and pubs since 2017, often sporting a fiddler to add to their coveted Irish flare. DR9 brings a catchy and folky feel to any show, fronting couple, Rebecca and Barry O'Doherty. Anchored by Jim David (drums), and Dana Takaki (fiddle), the songwriting of the local musical powerhouse demonstrates diverse guitar techniques, a broad vocal range and compelling lyrics, sprinkled with tasteful leads and unique rhythm. They not only have their musicianship down to a science, but have cultivated quite an attractive performance.
