Freight
2025-04-30 19:30 - 22:30
Freight is a 3 piece, original Alt Country / Rural Rock / Americana band based out of Ithaca, NY. The band is comprised of veteran musicians who individually have shared stages with the likes of Eileen Jewell, John Prine, The Mavericks, Leon Russell, James McMurtry and many other roots music heavyweights. Founded by midwest transplant JP Payton in early 2020, Freight has risen to the fore of the region’s growing Americana landscape. Drawing comparisons to the art rock of Wilco, the psychedelia of The Grateful Dead and the songcraft of Jason Isbell, Freight is both traditionally familiar and sonically adventurous. Freight’s debut album, Hard Worker, released in October 2022 on Switchyard Records, has been met with critical acclaim.

“This is a recording of skilled musicians and friends enjoying what they do. In so many ways it is like a debut album, but by grown-ups, and it sounds like they had such fun bringing it to life together.” – Americana UK

“The debut album, Hard Worker, sometimes reminds us of the long-awaited Jason Molina’s way of making songs. Although with a greater optimism in the lyrics, Payton’s voice is close to the emotional tone of the late singer.” – Dirty Rock Magazine

“Hard Worker’s 10 songs traverse a wide musical terrain, blending country, funk, rock and psychedelic influences with traces of Wilco, The Grateful Dead, John Prine, Dave Alvin and other roots-music staples – all woven together to a blue collar backdrop for Payton’s warm baritone vocals and deeply personal lyrics.” – Jim Catalano WXXI

Payton’s plaintively poetic and confessional songwriting belies a nuanced and empathetic understanding of the human condition. Drummer and Knoxville native Bowman Townsend (Black Lillies) has toured nationally showcasing his pocket centric groove, and veteran bassist Mike Brando (Janet Batch) rounds out the rhythm section with a commanding sense of tone earned from decades of professional gigging. All told, Freight’s groove is seasoned, road-tested, and danceable fun. Recent highlights include several successful regional tours and appearances at main stage Ithaca Fest 2023, City Winery Pittsburgh and the famed Purple Fiddle in Thomas, West Virginia.

With a new album titled Old Bones due in the coming year, Freight is on a steep upward trajectory in the region and beyond. Featuring 11 new original songs, recorded at Sunwood Studios in Trumansburg, NY by Jaime Gartelos, Freight is well positioned to expand their exposure in 2025.

P.V. Nunez Band
2025-05-08 19:30 - 22:30
The P. V. Nunes Band is just different. “Think Harry Chapin meets the Grateful Dead” said one club owner. The songs (written by Paul Vincent Nunes) are smart, funny, passionate, personal… and way too true. They are driven by a jamming North Coast Americana groove of dobro and electric guitar (Bernie Heveron), acoustic guitar (Paul), washboard (Dave Paprocki) and bass (Greg Franklin).

Band members have an esoteric history of playing in (or with) The Color Blind James Experience, Bat McGrath (Bernie), The Chesterfield Kings, The Occasional Saints (Paul), Chanka-Chank, The Crawdiddies (Dave), Marjorie Thompson, and The Dave North Trio (Greg).

Fan favorites include, “New Guitar”, “Drive All Night”, “My Daughter’s Diary”, “I’m Gonna Walk”, “The Diner”, “Mama Loves the Reverb”, and “Some of Us Rise, But We Don’t Shine”.
