Hamell on Trial, The Davenports, Liz Moore, Bryan Master, Ben Pilgrim, Chris Cubeta and the Liars Club, Will Deynes November 17, 2007

Ed Hamell, who performs as the singer/songwriter, joke-telling Hammel on Trial defies all musical categories. "Punk acoustic" and "anti-folk" come close.

Bryan Master is a New York City-based singer/songwriter and band front man. His eclectic style of fresh pop rock has drawn influences ranging from the Beatles to Foo Fighters. He has been compared to such current acts as Pete Yorn and Elliott Smith.

Cubeta's sound is eclectic, combining the wispy, sensitivity of the singer/songwriter with the unbridled thrill of rock and roll. Cubeta's live show is bolstered by his high-octane band The Liars Club - Jeff Berner on guitars, Marc Capaldo on drums and John Passineau on bass. Each brings his own flair to a show that is a dynamic blend of passionate, guitar-infused energy and down-home, rootsy melancholy.
