SUMMARY:Ryan Montbleau - Solo (w/ Lyle Brewer)
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Montbleau blends soulful songwriting with genre-defying energy\, crafting uplifting\, heartfelt music that spans folk\, rock\, funk\, soul and more.\n\n\n\nA relentless road warrior and masterful wordsmith\, Ryan Montbleau has spent the better part of thirty years cultivating a devoted audience on the strength of his ecstatic live shows and exhilarating sonic versatility. He’s collaborated with artists as diverse as Trombone Shorty\, Galactic\, Steel Pulse\, Tall Heights\, Martin Sexton\, Anders Osborne\, and George Porter\, Jr; shared bills with the likes of Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Ani DiFranco\, Todd Snider\, The Wood Brothers\, Rodrigo y Gabriela\, and Mavis Staples; and racked up more than 150 million streams on Spotify alone. NPR’s Mountain Stage compared his “eloquent\, soulful songwriting” to Bill Withers and James Taylor\, while Relix celebrated his “poetic Americana\,” and The Boston Herald raved that “he’s made a career of confident\, danceable positivity.” \nMontbleau’s freewheeling new album finds him exploring the full spectrum of his influences like never before\, touching on folk\, rock\, funk\, soul\, hip-hop\, and reggae\, all with a preternatural ease that belies the intensely focused craftsmanship behind it. The songs are sprawling and unpredictable\, grappling with a modern world perpetually teetering on the edge of chaos\, but the performances are relentlessly optimistic\, insisting on hope and joy in the face of it all. The result is Montbleau’s most vulnerable and cathartic work yet\, an album that acknowledges the inevitability of doubt and pain while at the same time celebrating our limitless capacity for growth and love. \nSAMPLE SONG \nOpening for Ryan is Lyle Brewer. Lyle Brewer is a guitarist and songwriter from Massachusetts. He has released several instrumental guitar albums and has performed all over the country with such artists as Neighbor\, Ryan Montbleau and Lori McKenna. For the last decade Brewer has been a professor of guitar at The Berklee College of Music in Boston. He has released three transcription books and maintains a hearty teaching schedule through his Patreon site. \nSAMPLE SONG \n​​Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Livestream available for $5 – 100% of live stream tickets on CaffeLenaTV benefit the artists. Subscribe for unlimited live streaming\, two week access to recent shows\, and Caffe Lena’s video archive. \nNote: Caffe Lena does not permit ticket reselling above face value. Tickets purchased for the purpose of resale may be canceled without notice\, and refunds for such purchases will not be granted.

SUMMARY:Badfish - A Tribute to Sublime - The Blizzy Tour (w/ Beach Fly)
DESCRIPTION:Badfish is a vibe. Badfish is a sonic house party complete with plenty of gyrating fans sipping libations and enjoying various extracurricular activities. Badfish is feel-good music.\nFor almost 25 years\, the Rhode Island-based band – Joel Hanks on bass\, Scott Begin on drums\, Pat Downes on vocals and guitar\, Danny Torgersen on horns\, keyboards\, and guitars – have successfully paid tribute to Sublime\, the influential California group that brought ska-punk and reggae-rock to the mainstream. Badfish’s heartfelt celebration of Sublime’s musical spirit and legacy is so sought-after that they’ve headlined theaters\, sold out shows\, and played 15-20 gigs a month.\nBut now\, Badfish is more. After two decades of Sublime reverence\, Badfish originality is stomping into high gear. Badfish recently released its second new song\, the anthemic\, groove-fortified “F You Pay Me\,” with special guest Grieves\, as the follow-up to the band’s first single\, “High With You.” Now the Sublime repertoire is nicely augmented by fresh original tracks that blend seamlessly together.\nWebsite: www.badfish.com——————————————————————-\nBeach Fly is the feel-good musical project led by John DeMari. He got his start interviewing some of his favorite artists like Slightly Stoopid\, Pepper\, and Iration on the 2 Minute Podcast.\nBeach Fly’s homegrown\, organic sound is a refreshing blend of modern reggae influences and feel-good beachside rhythms. Drawing inspiration from bands like Slightly Stoopid and Rebelution\, as well as acoustic-driven favorites like Jack Johnson and Xavier Rudd\, their music captures the essence of laid-back coastal living.\nWith smooth melodies\, uplifting lyrics\, and infectious grooves\, Beach Fly is on a mission to transport you straight to a sun-soaked paradise. Whether you’re catching waves\, relaxing with friends\, or simply looking for an escape\, their sound delivers the ultimate tropical vibes.\nWebsite: www.beachflymusic.com
