Our 6th installment of Listen Local features alt-rock band Off The Coast along with stalwart local ensemble Marie's Children. Young, talented and full of energy, Off the Coast is a band from Easton, MA that writes and plays pop, indie and classic/alternative rock. Brought together as Urban Lunchmeat in 2016, the band plays at local music venues, events, fundraisers, weddings and private parties around the Boston Area, Cape Cod, and RI. The band composes and records their own music and released their debut single "Kerosene" on October 21, 2022. We had them at our second Open Mic Night back in October 2022 and in that short 15 minute set these cats blew us away with soulful harmonies and solid stage presence along with a plethora of musical talent. Another find from our Open Mic Night series was frontman for Marie's Children Kevin Smith. His booming voice and soulful delivery caught our attention and sparked our interest in his full time band Marie's Children. The band plays original rock and is known for great live shows as well as tight, hard driving music. "We are lucky enough to have some amazing people that have been on this journey with us. We formed because we enjoyed what happened when we created music together, and back then we never really knew who was gonna keep showing up to practice and if anyone else would show up to see us play. Thankfully people never let us down. So started the ride where we would become not only one of the best bands in Boston, but fans followed us to our gigs in LA, New York, and CT. More important than just coming to shows, people shared the experience." Says frontman and founder, Kevin Smith.

Kevin Gordon’s Louisiana is a strange place. It’s a place where restless teens road trip to where the highway dead-ends at the Gulf of Mexico; a place where prisoners who are in for life compete in a rodeo while the town watches; where a character can get lost in the humid afternoon and where religion may not signify hope; and where rivers, never far away, carry secrets behind levees. “One of the things I like about it and am mystified by is that what passes for normal in Louisiana would not make the grade elsewhere,” he says. It’s a place that he’s been exploring through his songs for twenty years now, on the eve of the release of his astonishing new album “Tilt And Shine” on Crowville Media. Before even hearing his vivid lyrics, the feeling of that ’56 Gibson ES-125 tuned down to open D fills the room, often with the tremolo flowing like a river, and an unstoppable groove distilled from swamp blues and Sun Records. His MFA from the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop allows him to capture the stories of his past and upbringing with a degree of precision. As the New York Times put it in its headline of a feature on Kevin, “A Musician Or A Poet? Yes to Both.” Kevin sums it up, “There are so many stories in north Louisiana and it’s a place that nobody pays attention to. For me, you can feel the arc of time passing there. I’m captivated by the power of strong memories—those films that run continuously in your mind, if you let ‘em.” Kevin Gordon will be joined by Josh Hunt on drums and Ron Eoff on bass to round out the trio.

Doors open for sign-ups at 6:30PM and the fun will start at 7PM. 15 minute sets - first come first serve. Musicians get in free! $5 cover at the door for viewers.

Joanna Connor is one of the best guitar players on the planet. Simply put, Joanna is "the queen of blues rock guitar!" -WGN Radio. “Music chose me. I vividly recall trying to sing like Louis Armstrong’s ‘Hello Dolly’ in our Brooklyn apartment. It came on the radio often. I knew I was small, but when I researched what year this version was on the charts, I was floored with the realization that I was two years old!” Playing saxophone, guitar and singing were her passions at a young age, and eventually led to her performing professionally at 17. But her hunger to become a guitarist first and foremost and her desire to immerse herself in the Blues, propelled her to move from her hometown of Worcester, MA to Chicago in 1984. National and International accolades in the press and radio media resulted into a decade of world tours, a dozen recordings on Ruf Records, MC Records and others, a documentary on Germany’s WDR Television, and a multitude of TV appearances and radio features. While working continuously in Chicago, a handful of videos of her incendiary slide guitar solos went viral creating quite a sensation and garnering attention from media and established musicians alike. Joe Bonamassa sought her out and offered to produce the kind of record he felt Joanna had always had in her and should deliver to the world. A blues record that delivers all the raw emotion, passion, and fire that made the Blues so compelling from its inception, 4801 South Indiana was released in February of 2021 to immense critical acclaim and a number one spot on the Billboard Charts in the blues category. With a new album just around the corner, Joanna Connor has found her place at the top of the Blues world. This will be Joanna Connor's third trip to The Fallout Shelter, a venue she has come to love with an audience she adores.

When Popa Chubby left The Fallout Shelter after his sold out show in April, he didn't even make it to the Mass Pike before he called his agent and asked him to book The Fallout Shelter again "as soon as possible." Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, has been hard rocking the blues in his fierce and soulful way for more than 30 years. Over the course of a career that dates back to 1994, he has been a force of nature to be reckoned with on the guitar, and his tempestuous, soulful playing has never been more powerful. An imposing figure with a shaven head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performance style he describes as “the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson," Popa Chubby is an endearing character who is one of the genre’s most popular figures. The Blues was the foundation of his playing style. He recalls, "Since I’d grown up on Hendrix, Cream and Led Zeppelin, when I started playing blues in New York clubs I understood that the blues should be dangerous, too. It wasn’t just from playing in punk bands. Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters were dangerous men. They’d cut or shoot you if they thought it was necessary, and Little Walter packed a gun and wouldn’t hesitate to use it. That danger is a real part of the Blues and I keep it alive in my music.” Popa Chubby is his own man for better or worse. He reflects, "I’m living in a wild time, and that is where the inspiration is drawn from. There are my issues, but the picture is much bigger than me and my situation. Everything is breaking down in the world. The lines are being redefined. We all need something.” To say Popa Chubby's April show was incredible would be an understatement. Full of ripping guitar solos, unique blues progressions and hilarious anecdotes, there's a reason the April Popa Chubby show sold out months in advance. This show will do the same, so grab your tickets before they're gone!

Butcher, Baglio and Estes were delivered such a captivating show in January 2023, that we had to ask them if they would like to host our 9th Annual Fallout Shelter Holiday Extravaganza. The show they put on was perfect for a Holiday Party - full of great stories, incredible original music and fantastic covers of classic songs. This is going to be one for the ages and it's catered so bring your appetite! Soul-infused guitarist, songwriter, and producer, Jon Butcher (Axis, Barefoot Servants), energetic rock guitarist and songwriter Sal Baglio (The Amplifier Heads, Tom Hambridge & The Rattlesnakes, The Stompers), and legendary singer-songwriter, Allen Estes have joined forces to form a rock, soul, acoustic and blues infused trio that highlight the strengths of each of these celebrated musicians. The eleven original songs on their upcoming album are steeped in Americana, roots rock, and tight vocal harmonies reminiscent of Crosby, Stills and Nash and The Traveling Wilburys. “We’re blue-collar guys from working class families, says Butcher. “We grew up on the sound of rock radio and the promise of an electric guitar. We wanted to make a record that reflected that. We tell our own stories and there’s truth in that. We did a show together at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, MA some years ago. It was magic, the perfect mix of electric and acoustic music. We knew then we had something special enough to take it into the studio.” “Allen brought this idea to the table,” explains Baglio. “We each have been friends for over four decades and have performed together on various live shows over the years which made it an easy sell. I'm in!"
