Deb Callahan Band - Philly's own blues and soul drenched singer and songwriter Deb Callahan has been performing, touring, recording and entertaining music fans both regionally and around the United States since the late 1990s. She has graced the stages of many festivals nationwide from The Monterey Bay Blues Festival in Monterey, CA, The Springing the Blues Fest in Jacksonville, FL, The Bayfront Blues Fest in Duluth, MN to WXPN’s XPonential Music Festival right here in Philly. She celebrated the release of her 6th studio album "Backbone" in March 2023 for which she received rave reviews and charted for over 6 months on The Roots Music Report Top 50 Blues albums peaking at #2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2#2 in the blues category. Often compared to Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi and Etta James, Callahan has developed a unique sound all her own. The latest album was produced by Philadelphia producer, songwriter, and guitarist Chris Arms and recorded live at Morningstar Studios in Glenside, PA. Deb's previous CD "Sweet Soul" was produced by Tony Braunagel (Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray) and recorded in Los Angeles with some incredible studio musicians in addition to her longtime guitarist Allen James.
For this show Deb will be performing with her road tested, all-star band of Allen James on guitar, Garry Lee on bass and Fred Berman on drums! They will feature blues, soul, funk originals and some blues-soul classics.

Eastern Elk - Rising from the underground, Eastern Elk isn't some bar band revival. These guys are explorers, channeling the spirits of rock legends like Neil Young and Lou Reed and classic Outlaw country heroes like Steve Earle into a sound that thrums with the urgency of modern indie. Think Band of Horses meets The Replacements, all filtered through a lens of pure, unadulterated rock and roll. Fueled by countless nights spent worshiping at the altar of music's greats, Eastern Elk isn't just echoing the past - they're out to leave their own mark on the genre. They're swinging for the fences, pulling no punches, and determined to become your new rock and roll obsession.
