Missy Andersen & Her One-Man Band
Roots Music/ Blues & Soul
Doors: 7:00pm • $12/advance • $15/door
Missy Andersen and her accompanist/husband, Heine Andersen, love what they do. Keeping a heavy touring schedule, the tenacious twosome performs as a duo which showcases the couple's individual and combined talents. In the absence of other instruments, listeners find a greater appreciation for Missy's gospel-tinged vocals and Heine's Blues & Americana inspired guitar work.
A charismatic performer known for her expressive and earthy vocals, Missy Andersen received the coveted Blues Music Award nomination for Soul Blues Female Artist in 2015 and then again in 2016. Her sophomore album, In the Moment, received rave reviews from both critics and fans and ended up on the Roots Music Report's Top 50 Albums. Raised in Queens, NY, Missy grew up singing along to the blues, soul, and gospel music of her parents and grandparents. These influences are evident throughout her recordings and live performances.
Originally from the country of Denmark, but steeped in American Roots music, Heine Andersen has toured extensively in both Europe and North America, playing some of the most prestigious stages and festivals throughout his career. Noted for his polyrhythmic acoustic style, Heine plays lead and rhythm as well as bass lines simultaneously. With eyes closed, a listener would swear there were at least three musicians present. Add in Missy's expressive, deep soul vocal delivery plus humorous storytelling and it's a perfect match of all things good. Says Missy, "My dad is from South Carolina and my mother is from Detroit so, basically, I'm bilingual. I speak North and South so that's soul and blues." ~ Indeed.

Squirrel Flower w/ Free Range
Indie Rock/ Witch Rock
Doors: 7pm/ $12/advance • $15/door
PLEASE NOTE: This Show is Scheduled at a Time we are Normally Closed
Limited First Come Seating/ Standing Show
Squirrel Flower is the witch rock project of Ella Williams. Currently based in Chicago, by way of Iowa and Boston, Ella crafts songs from silk threads, weaving layers of vocal arrangements and sparse, sometimes distorted guitar with sentient observations about internal and external worlds.
Sofia Jensen is Free Range. Free Range's music makes mature confessionals feel as simple as flicking on a light switch when the sun starts to set. Jensen's delivery is gentle, even when their lyrics are untangling stormy thoughts. It's a kind of openness and ease unveiling comfort in dark truths. Here, Jensen discusses memory loss as a consequence of self-destruction rather than lack of attentiveness. "I let you think that it was accidental," they sing in the first verse. "When I stopped caring about being careful." Loss of time and events indicate a loss of something much more—a sense of self.
