The Love-In

The Love–In is a Nashville-based indie band consisting of Laurel Sorenson, Theo King, and Michael Rasile. The band formed in 2016, and since then have honed their genre-bending arrangements to present Sorenson’s incisive lyrical observations and powerful vocals with a chest-out vulnerability towards relationships, racial identity, sex, and culture.

Their new album Revel (produced by Tone Def) is a concept record that uses The Love–In’s signature combination of memorable melodies, irresistible grooves, and lush soundscapes to create a glamorous world of fantasy. Revel yanks the listener from dreams to reality and back again, until the two are indistinguishable.
This cinematic approach to music has landed The Love–In a variety of synch placements, including the use of their songs “Revel,” “As it Lays,” “America,” and “Freedom of Sexpression,” by Fox Sports. While their recorded music is painstakingly crafted, The Love–In’s live performances contain all of the spontaneity one could want in a rock show. It’s rollicking and raw, tender and touching, and certainly not one to miss.

Mind Wipes

Mindwipes, a four-piece alternative rock band based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, finds its
origins in the verdant hills of Chester County, PA, where lifelong friends Cameron Schultz and
Michael Rogers bonded over their shared love for classic and contemporary rock. Inspired by
iconic influences like The Rolling Stones, The Strokes, Green Day, Arctic Monkeys and Muse,
the duo formed the band during their high school years.
When Schultz left for Arizona State University, his musical journey continued, leading him to
collaborate with fellow musician Scott Dabundo in the collegiate, indie band Yard Art. Reuniting
back home in 2019, Schultz, Rogers, and Dabundo recorded their debut project, “Out of the
Ordinary” was released in January 2020 amid the global pandemic.
Undeterred by challenges, Mindwipes regrouped in Philadelphia during the pandemic,
welcoming bassist Tommy Oliver into the fold. With renewed focus, they honed their craft
through live performances in the northeast while diligently working on their upcoming album.
The band’s musical evolution was showcased with the release of their new singles, “Originally”
in October 2023 and “Buy Your Way Back” in April 2024, both recorded at Headroom Studios,
displaying their penchant for dynamic and cinematic rock arrangements.
With their galvanizing mantra, “When lobotomies are hard to find, come and let us wipe your
mind, ” Mindwipes continues to enthrall audiences with their enrapturing blend of prog rock,
indie, and post-punk. Anticipating a milestone year, the band is set to release their debut LP in
the Fall of 2024.

Vincent Michael

Vincent Michael is a singer/songwriter from Reading PA now residing in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond neighborhood. The songs he performs combine calming vocals with beautiful moments of introspection overtop large anthemic choruses. His music draws inspiration from the likes of Chris Stapleton, Angel Olsen, and Bruce Springsteen. Vince started working on his debut album after being inspired by a summer in Montana running a coffee shop in Glacier National Park. The sonic world he creates mimics the wonder and awe of that special time in his life, and his live show seeks to transport the audience to the front row of that formative experience.

Hannah Bug

Hannah Bug is an up-and-coming act in the Philadelphia area music scene with eyes to soon move her operation to the Big Apple. Her songs are the marriage of obsession levels of vocal perfection with a backdrop of relaxed unassuming instrumentation. She writes from a nuanced perspective teetering the line between reflective self-awareness and bashful naïveté. Hannah Bug’s signature airy vocals soar above the band and exist in an ethereal realm of ASMR ear candy. Her debut single “Change of Scenery” is available on all music streaming platforms. This is Hannah’s second time performing at The Fallser Club. She’ll be taking the stage with her band this time.

Mark Mallon

Mark Mallon is an American singer-songwriter and producer. He is currently only known as such by his friends, coworkers, and a handful of anonymous onlookers. With the release of his debut album “Too Loud”, he hopes that the displeased and disenchanted find solace in the transparent writing of a fellow sentient stifled in a state of despondent arrested development.
In all seriousness, thank you for reading this far, I hope you enjoy the music. Both of these artists are acts that I produce and record, so it’s super special to have them share the stage with me as I release my first-ever album.

Singer Songwriters: Christopher Morse, Jason Ager, and Tyler Asay
2024-04-25 19:30 - 22:30 | The Fallser Club, 3721 Midvale Ave, Philadelphia, PA, 19129, United States
Christopher Morse

After a long run of shows across Colorado’s front range in 2021 and 2022, Christopher Morse released his latest EP, Covering Old Scars, in February of 2023. Blending elements of folk, country, and mellow indie/pop, Christopher Morse’s music has evolved into a rich soundscape that listeners can really sink their teeth into.

At the young age of 10, Morse became a literal choir boy after auditioning for the American Boychoir School (ABS). With ABS, he toured the country, sang with the New York Philharmonic, and performed at Carnegie Hall – all while taking classes on the tour bus. While on the road, he saw Colorado for the first time, but never expected to make the move out West.
After the boychoir, Morse discovered John Mayer’s Room For Squares, which led to him picking up a guitar for the first time. Before long he was writing songs to share with friends and family and started playing in local coffee shops. He gradually expanded his reach to playing in larger venues from Washington DC to New York City. During that time, Morse graced the stages of many venues including The Tin Angel in Philadelphia and Rockwood Music Hall in NYC. Since moving to Colorado, Christopher has made his Nashville debut at the legendary Music Row Freak Show writers rounds and has played stages across Colorado, including Roots Music Project, The Lodge at Woods Boss, and the Boulder Theater. He is now in the process of recording his 4th EP, which will be released in 2024.

The Tisburys are an indie rock band from Philadelphia, PA led by singer-songwriter Tyler Asay. The band has released three full-length albums, most recently 2022’s Exile On Main Street, which combines influences of heartland rock and power pop hooks with jangly guitars and gritty lyrical storytelling.

They have shared the stage with national acts (Gin Blossoms, Jenny Lewis, Drive-By Truckers, Old 97’s) and local Philadelphia heroes such as The War On Drugs, Baroness, and Dave Hause.

tickets online $12, $15 at the door

Squeaky Feet is a modern jam band known for their “prog-rock with a pocket”. The Denver, CO based quintet rewards listeners with full-flavor sonic marinade and consistently jaw-dropping performances. Guided by the 70’s prog-gods of improvisation, rock pioneers Squeaky Feet rip between dance/trance, progressive rock, and jazz fusion while beaming ahead to the future. The band delivers high-energy songs stacked with deep rhythm, triumphant solos, and exploratory improv taking listeners on a mind-altering journey through space-time while leaving live audiences in a state of amazement.
Recent highlights include a double-night sell-out with Dogs in a Pile at The Bluebird (Denver, CO), a sold-out show at Cervantes’ (Denver, CO), and the release of their debut record “Cause for Alarm” featuring Mark Lettieri of Snarky Puppy.
Conceived within the walls of Berklee College of Music, its members relocated to Denver in 2018. Squeaky Feet’s exploratory nature and tasteful virtuosity has led the band to a rapidly growing fanbase across the world. Comprised of world-class musicians Colin Shore (guitar/vocals), Greg King (guitar), Jimmy Finnegan (bass/vocals), Brian Keller (keyboards/sax/flute/vocals), and Kevin D’Angelo (drums), it’s crystal clear Squeaky Feet has something to prove.
The band’s debut studio album “Cause For Alarm”, recently released in 2023, is an electrifying testament to Squeaky Feet’s extraordinary musicianship, genre-blending prowess, and impressively innovative approach to music. An 80-minute rollercoaster of exploration, “Cause for Alarm” moves effortlessly between progressive rock and jazz-fusion while preserving the authenticity of improv-based music. The astute listener will hear the influence of King Crimson, Umphrey’s McGee, Rush, and Snarky Puppy.

The Peace Creeps

Johnny Marchiano, Jeff Pancoast, Roy Fisher and Richard Bush Photo: Robert Bush
The Peace Creeps is the current musical project featuring former A’s captivating frontman Richard Bush. Richard and his A’s were the darlings of Philly in the ‘70s and early ‘80s and had the hits “After Last Night” and “A Woman’s Got The Power”, which was later recorded by both Clarence Clemons and Jennifer Holliday. They released two albums on Arista Records and toured nationally, but they disbanded due to disputes with their record company. After that Bush had a few other bands and then took a long hiatus to write and record. Finally, along with guitarist John Marchiano, bassist Roy Fisher and drummer Jeff Pancoast, The Peace Creeps were born. Bush and songwriting partner, AJay McLaughlin’s clever lyricism, along with their Elvis Costello–like wit, Faces–like looseness and the pop sensibilities of the Beatles are reasons for their appeal.

The Good Problems

The Good Problems are a seven-member band incorporating players from several seminal Philly groups. (KFloor, Love Syndicate, Stargazer Lily, Mike Pfeiffer and The Associates) Songwriter, Stephan Hayes sings and plays acoustic guitar backed by Chris Schutz and Mike Wexler on drums and bass, Mia Johnson on vocals and percussion, Matt Hayes on lead guitar, and Erin Ryan and Dave Gregorio on cello and fiddle. Hayes’ rhythmic lyrical style and acoustic wall of sound created by the multipart harmonies and string section create their unique sound. They released their first album “Dirty Beauty” in 2008. The House of Soul and Bone was recorded in 2011 but remained unreleased until 2023. The band was on an extended hiatus when Hayes lived abroad. They got back together and wrote a new song in late March 2020 and then, well you know. In 2023 they recorded EP23, a three-song internet-only collection that will be added to in 2024. You can listen to their music at https://thegoodproblems.bandcamp.com/

Angels & Saints- Eros and Awe Documentary

Sex. Gender. Religion. Why are they so hard to talk about? What do they have in common?
A multi-award winning documentary called Angels and Saints-Eros and Awe has some of those answers.

Come join us for a viewing of the award-winning documentary film, followed by a panel discussion led by producers Rodney Whittenberg and Vic Compher, and will include Rev Bill Marchhiony and Rev Kari Olson.

Those who shared their perspective in the film on the topic of eros and spirituality include leading clergy, sex educators and therapists, and workshop leaders all around the gender and sexuality matrix. Each of these “messengers of wholeness” brings to the screen their heartfelt and sometimes hard-earned wisdom. That is why we call them our “Angels and Saints”.

The film has met with rave reviews as it has been screened at various faith communities, professional conferences, seminaries, and for the general public.

It addresses the psychic pain and damage that traditional institutional religions and American culture have for so many years inflicted by teaching that “the Spirit is good” but the “body is evil”. A recent example of this deep-seated cultural brokenness which often includes sexual/ institutional control in our society is the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe V. Wade, thereby taking away a woman’s right to control her body and future or make her own personal health care decisions. The ‘Don’t say Gay’ bill in Florida and the appalling attacks on trans people, as well as the idea of criminalizing drag events, speak volumes about why this film is timely. We also celebrate the Respect for Marriage Act, which overrides to a degree certain traditional biases and controls of sexual and interracial relationships. With DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) top of mind for a lot of people, the message in the film couldn’t be more timely.

This is an ideal film for people in the sex-positive community, the LGBTQ+ community, sex, gender, and consent educators, spiritual teachers, clergy and medical professionals, DEI consultants, as well as the general public.

An Evening of Women Singer Songwriters: Sarah Madden, Hannah Bug, and Every Heard
2024-03-29 20:00 - 22:00 | PA
Doors open at 7:30pm, Show at 8pm
$20 online, $25 at the door
Every Heard
Every Heard (Ev Reheard) is a Korean-American singer-songwriter with a unique voice. Growing up listening to her father’s classic country and mother’s Korean ballads, Ev discovered her own style by learning how to play guitar at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, where she won an open mic contest in 2017. While she came to Philadelphia to earn her degree in Speech Language Pathology, she made it her home to become a full-time musician and teaching artist. Her music is the vehicle she found to speak candidly about her mental health. She now illustrates music theory in order to inspire others to process and express their inner journeys as well.

Hannah Bug
After a life of utilizing songwriting as a sacred and personal form of self-soothing therapy, singer-songwriter “Hannah Bug” has finally emerged out of her bedroom and onto the stages of Philly’s most exciting, bustling music spots. The past few months have marked her debut as a performer sharing her unrelenting vision and deeply intimate, intentional lyricism with an audience. Both a gifted storyteller and writer at heart, Hannah Bug’s blissfully soulful vocals and spellbinding melodies tap into an authentic indie-soul territory akin to the likes of Banks, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Carla Morrison. With her first single “Change of Scenery”— a hopefully lamenting offering of raw moodiness— just around the bend, the fresh and up-and-coming songstress is busy penning her own timeless records in the studio while uniquely and seamlessly carving a path for herself. Stay tuned for what’s next. You won’t want to miss it.

Sarah Madden

Sarah Madden is a Philly based singer songwriter with an emotive lyrical style and indie-folk feel to her music. She originates from the Florida/Georgia area, where she recently recorded her first EP with WBAZ Records, called “Therapy.” The first single from the EP, “Anxiety,” is deeply felt in its acoustic form, while angsty rock flares arise in other tracks such as “Melatonin.” She is currently working on an album, likely to be released this Fall. The album will lean more indie, while remaining anchored to the unrelentingly honesty that is the trademark of her songwriting.

Maeve & Quinn

Described as “anything but ordinary” by the Chicago Tribune, MAEVE & QUINN is the duo of Chicago-based, Alaska-raised twin sisters Maris and Bryce O’Tierney, multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and composers. Maeve & Quinn’s music fuses alt rock, pop, and folk influences, distinguished by lyrical vocal harmonies and dynamic instrumental interplay. Classically trained (voice, guitar, violin, piano), the duo also draws on improvisation in their practice.
Maeve & Quinn’s collaboration as twin sisters is conversational and fluid between past and present. They bring together lyrics and melodies from their respective experiences for songs of layered perspective, addressing themes of memory, truth, and relationship. Maeve & Quinn’s music has a feeling of landscape, and draws from multiple points of origin: where the sisters grew up (Alaska), their country of heritage (Ireland), and present home (Chicago).
Maeve & Quinn have performed their music and poetry in concert with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and the Poetry Foundation; premiered their symphonic compositions with the Chicago Composers Orchestra and Anchorage Symphony Orchestra; and collaborated with dancers for film works, most recently with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

Following their 2018 release something overheard, something overhead, their EP star-crossed (August 2021) was featured on Bandcamp’s ‘New & Notable’ releases. Their first full-length LP, Another Door, released September 2023.

Zoe Lemon

Hi! I’m Zoe and I write songs, refurbish my 1979 camper van, and try not to burn down the kitchen (seriously, I’m a terrible cook). While studying classical violin at university I discovered my true passion was songwriting … but I had devoted most of my childhood to refining my skills as an orchestral musician. It felt like an impossible shift and I packed up my minivan and left on a 9-month road trip where I wrote a collection of songs on my violin. Finally returning to Philly, I went into the studio with my friends at North Room Records to record these songs properly…and here’s the proof!
