Arts Fishing Club, Harvey Street
Arts Fishing Club is more than just a band; they are storytellers, explorers of the human condition, and purveyors of living life boldly. An ethos demonstrated by frontman Christopher Kessenich’s first 4.5 month tour in which he walked 1600 miles along the east coast from Maine to Atlanta to Nashville, played 60 shows, and slept in strangers’ living room floors. The boldness that compelled such an adventure is felt in AFC’s electrifying live shows where the band weaves the raw energy of rock and the introspective lyrical honesty of folk to create a sound that is timeless and refreshingly original. Whether performing in sold out small clubs or on festival stages (Bonnaroo, Summerfest, Treefort, Mile of Music), their engaging stage presence and ability to connect with fans makes their live performances a cornerstone of their success. With a growing fanbase, commitment to pushing their creative boundaries, and an infectiously entertaining live show, Arts Fishing Club is poised to make a lasting impact on the indie music landscape.

Nuovo Testamento
The Los Angeles-based trio, Nuovo Testamento, is lighting up the dance floor with their uniquely dark italo disco-flavored pop hits. Following the release of the coldwave cult favorite Exposure EP in 2019 on Avant! Records, their acclaimed full length, New Earth, exploded onto the scene with its graceful touch of 1980s-influenced club elements, contagious rhythms and the powerful punch of synthpop. The release was widely considered across genres to be one of 2021’s best underground albums. With the release of their highly anticipated second LP in early 2023, Love Lines, Nuovo Testamento continued to explore the light, the dark and exultant personal power in what will undoubtedly become an instant dance classic. Following a celebrated remix for Scowl and full North American tours supporting the Soft Moon and Molchat Doma, Nuovo Testamento is on tour in the US and Europe throughout 2024. Instagram | Spotify

Cosmic Charlie – High energy Grateful Dead
Start your New Year’s celebration early with Cosmic Charlie & special guests Liquid Garcia! DOUBLE YOUR FUN: Special 2-night combo ticket for Dec 30 & 31 is available at the Cat’s Cradle website. ——————–COSMIC CHARLIE Cosmic Charlie was born in the musical Mecca of Athens, Georgia. From its summer 1999 inception, the band has swiftly cemented its reputation as a band that puts a unique and personal twist on the Grateful Dead catalogue, a Dead cover band for folks that are ambivalent about Dead cover bands. Rather than mimicking the Dead exactly, Cosmic Charlie chooses to tap into the Dead’s energy and style as a foundation on which to build. The result is healthy balance of creativity and tradition, and both the band and its audience are taken to that familiar edge with the sense that, music is actually being MADE here tonight. Moving and shaking even the most skeptical of Deadheads, Cosmic Charlie storms into a town and plays with an energy that eludes other bands, an energy that sometimes eluded the Dead themselves. Those precious moments during Dead jams when the synchronicity is there and all is right with the world, these are moments that Cosmic Charlie relishes and feverishly welcomes with open arms. Clearly, Cosmic Charlie’s audiences are also eager to arrive at those moments, and together with the band, they have indulged in many memorable evenings.

Using electronic and acoustic means, the instrumental five-piece—comprised of Hunter Brown (guitar/programming), Jeffree Lerner (percussion), David Phipps (keyboards), Zach Velmer (drums), andAlana Rocklin (bass)—channels the primordial and celestial, producing a cutting-edge sound that has forged a path for multiple generations of electronic dance music. STS9’s innate sense of innovation is grounded by the group’s desire to forge universal connections. Seamlessly integrating their exploratory and improvisation-based music with a fully immersive light show, each performance is a transcendent celebration of humanity. With the help of the group’s dedicated fanbase, STS9 has performed countless shows nationwide and consistently sells out venues like the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater, where they have played over 30 times. The group has been honored with induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame and earns headlining slots at countless music festivals across the country. The group continues to find ways to build community, consistently spearheading charitable efforts with their own Just Thanks Foundation and founding its own independent record label, 1320 Records. Having released twelve albums over the last 28 years, STS9’s legacy unfolds into the future with their newest 2025 studio release, Human Dream. These 19 tracks clearly represent the band’s current sound, delving deep into the many facets of music the group is known for. From huge festival bangers, to funk and jazz explorations, intricate drum n bass, and beautiful instrumentals, Human Dream symbolizes the start of sharing music from STS9’s most prolific recording era to date. With more new releases on the horizon, major festival appearances, and a full US tour, STS9 is poised to keep spreading their music and message in 2026 and beyond.
