Righteous Jolly Album Release Show w/Hubbell Benson
An utterly passionate and dynamic performer who gives his all in every instance. An artist through and through. Emotional. Funny. Self-Aware. Goofy.
Bird Streets & John Gallagher Jr.
Acclaimed Brooklyn artist Bird Streets has returned with Lagoon, an album about separation, rumination, regret, and recurrence. For his second album under the Bird Streets name, songwriter John Brodeur has widely expanded on the project’s collaborative foundation, enlisting production by Pat Sansone (Wilco), Michael Lockwood (Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple), Zach Jones (Sting), and Oscar Albis Rodriguez (A Great Big World), plus guest appearances from the likes of Aimee Mann, Ed Harcourt, John Davis (Superdrag), Jody Stephens (Big Star), and an array of top-shelf session players. With mixing split between Sansone and Grammy winner Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John Mayer), and mastering by Grammy nominee Pete Lyman (Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton), Lagoon is an enormous step forward sonically, while musically it’s a tour de force from an artist who has been hailed for his evocative storytelling and keen attention to craft.
Bird Streets was first conceived as Brodeur’s return to a band format after a long stint as a solo artist. The new point of view proved to be artistically freeing, moving Brodeur to officially adopt the moniker as his nom de guerre with the release of a self-titled 2018 LP on Omnivore Recordings. That album, produced by indie-pop hero Jason Falkner (Beck, St. Vincent, Daniel Johnston), was a refreshing blast of classic-yet-modern melodic rock that received accolades from PopMatters (“a rock solid power-pop gem”), The Deli (“timeless and honest”), and NPR Music, which named Bird Streets a Slingshot Artist alongside then-emerging talents like Phoebe Bridgers and The Beths. “Betting on the Sun” received nationwide airplay; the music video for “Direction” racked up thousands of views; tours with iconic indie rocker Juliana Hatfield and pop-folk artist Alana Davis followed, as did a groovy non-album single, “Come On.”

Peter Sandler & Dan Kassel
Peter Sandler writes music to connect, heal, and inspire.
While Peter struggles to describe his own music, he once heard a friend describe his music as sounding “as if Frank Sinatra played folk”. Whether or not that was accurate, Peter was flattered.
Though Peter’s influences range across many genres, his primary influences include Radiohead, Nick Drake, The Beatles, Elliot Smith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Frank Sinatra, and Charles Aznavour.
Peter started playing piano and singing at the age of five in a suburban town in New Jersey. Growing up, he played lead roles in his school’s musical theater performances and professionally performed in the Paper Mill Playhouse production of The King and I.
In his early teens, Peter took up the guitar and began writing music for his rock band, The Clovis People. They considered themselves a big deal on MySpace.
Peter went on to study Music Industry at Northeastern University and performed in various ensembles and bands.
Currently based in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Peter is writing, performing, and recording his original music- faithfully listening to the distant place from where the wind blows.
