Skunk Jesus
Experience the sounds of Skunk Jesus, a band that emerged from the creative minds of Riley Stockwell and Mike Dettorre in 2015. Together with a rotating cast of top musicians from New England, they create an improvisational art form that delves into the unknown, transforming initial ideas into fully formed pieces of music on the spot. Drawing inspiration from free jazz, psychedelia, and experimental grooves, Skunk Jesus offers a dark and whimsical journey into uncharted musical territories.

CLAMB was born out of a Dadaist desire to create music free from societal norms of perfection. They dig deep into the groove of soulful American music from the infinite James Brown and Alice Coltrane to the aether of seventies European krautrock pioneers like Cluster and Harmonia to patiently sketch foreign landscapes from the ground up. Clamb are devoted to keeping an attitude of acceptance in their largely-improvised songs, choosing a direction and exploring its corners and nuances to tell stories without words.


Clamb's tonal palette features Peter Danilchuk’s synths blissfully wiggling through the air, Jameson Stewart’s mythical gold-glitter-encrusted fretless bass sending terrestrial energy rippling through a rogue’s gallery of cheap pedals, Joshua Merhar’s playful drumming that constantly eggs the band onward to new hemispheres of groove, and in 2022 Clamb introduced guitar hero and best friend Sam Crawford whose tonal character and improvisational voice have propelled the band’s ensemble playing further into the fever-dream-realm than ever expected. Clamb hopes they have cornered the market on the Venn diagram intersection of 60s psych nerds raised on Soft Machine Volume 2 and their kids who have spent the past decade gorging on Brainfeeder and Meshuggah. It is Clamb’s distinct wish that each performance function as a Polaroid of the exact moment of its creation, never to be repeated quite the same way ever again, remaining both pensive yet hard-grooving all the same.
