The Big Lazy**Slow Noche
BIG LAZY, New York City’s gritty instrumental trio has flourished for over 20 years, creating film music
and playing its singular brand of guitar noir and highway twang from the Whitney Museum of American
Art to the Opéra National de Lyon. Simultaneously noir and pastoral, gothic and modern, the trio conjures
images from big sky country to seedy back rooms with cinematic clarity. Combining elements of Blues,
Rockabilly, Surf and Jazz with a fiery performance style, their most recent album, Dear Trouble, captures
the essence of their legendary live shows.
STEPHEN ULRICH, guitarist and Big Lazy founder has released his first solo album Music from This
American Life. The album is a collection of 10 pieces Ulrich was commissioned to write for Ira Glass’
iconic radio program of the same name. Ulrich is also known for composing the soundtrack for the HBO
series Bored To Death.
On November 10th at John and Peter’s Big Lazy will perform music from their 6 studio albums as well
Music from This American Life.
“The Big Apple Crème de la Crème.” Robert Christgau – dean of American rock critics
“Big Lazy, the elegantly gritty instrumental trio led by the extraordinary guitarist Stephen Ulrich,
plays stunningly beautiful music that evokes everything from truckers’ romps to the haunting
film scores of Bernard Herrmann.” The New Yorker
SLOW NOCHE is a trio from New Hope, PA playing original instrumentals with hints of Latin, Island & Noir.

The Dust-Ups
The Dust-Ups are an original four-piece alt.country/Americana band from north/central New Jersey. Influenced by alt.country pioneers such as Old 97’s and Whiskeytown and country legends like Johnny Cash, their sound blends a down-home country sound with punk rock energy.
While they all call New Jersey home today, The Dust-Ups’ origins span from New Orleans (lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Ryan Chatelain) to Quebec (bassist Stephen Swalsky). Aside from their collection of mostly lively, catchy songs, perhaps the most intriguing aspect of their live show is watching multi-instrumentalist Joe Palmisano shift back and forth from lead guitar to pedal steel to mandolin, ensuring the band’s sound never gets stale. The Dust-Ups also include drummer Alek Speck, who toured the world with the indie rock band Run Run Run.
The Dust-Ups, who formed in 2022, plan to begin work this summer on their debut album.
Sunshine Spazz
A surfy, garage rock trio from Ocean County, New Jersey. “Sun’s Out, Spazz Out!”
