Christine Sweeney - 7:30PM

With a voice as powerful as it is sultry and sweet, singer/songwriter Christine Sweeney deftly handles poppy and playful without sacrificing genuine emotion to create her version of indie blues pop.  Her sometimes gritty, sometimes sugary vocals soar over a rhythmic guitar to build songs that are heavily focused on the feel of the lyrics, but also illustrate that she's no stranger to complexities in harmony.

Whatever We Are - 8:30PM

The group's four members - Gabrielle Ross, Chris "Trippz" Michaud, Joey Castellani, and Ian Biggs - had spent the majority of their careers as solo arts, but the energy when they wrote and recorded together was undeniable, so they embraced the new direction. As a result, these songs represent not only a clean start artistically, but a fresh new outlook on life. At times calling to mind modern chart toppers like The Black Eyed Peas and Twenty One Pilots, Whatever We Are's music blurs the boundaries of genre as it melds four distinct voices into a singular whole.
