The Sam Houseal Band
Our immediate goal is to support the new EP by getting it into regular streaming rotation, expanding the gig schedule to focus on venues that welcome original music, and to build mutually beneficial partnerships to share in our success, which is why we have contacted you today. Please consider booking The Sam Houseal Band as soon as possible as we are still booking and looking to fill our calendar for 2025!
In March of 2023 the band released their debut EP Out Of The Rain, a four song gem recorded by award winning producer Brian J Anthony. Reception to the EP has been overwhelmingly positive and the band has enjoyed the glow of audiences who are hearing the songs for the first time.
Sam’s voice and guitar style are strong and recognizable. Songs like "One Day Soon", "Time Goes By" and "Out Of The Rain" radiate a timeless quality that linger with listeners. With dozens of songs to his credit, Sam has assembled some of the finest local musicians to bring his ideas to fruition and complete the future full length album. Many who hear Out Of The Rain share our enthusiasm and those who have seen them live compare the band to bigger more seasoned national acts.
Out Of The Rain is available on major streaming platforms

The Cucumbers
Jon Fried & Deena Shoshkes started The Cucumbers and found a home in the 80's indie pop scene in Hoboken, NJ. Their duo performances draw upon a deep songbook, effortless communication and feature intimate vocal harmonies and charming songs.
Their songwriting has been called "direct and artful," by the New York Times, "Deena's voice...incredible: kidstuff and wisdom merged," by the Village Voice. Their songs have been recorded by Jackson Browne, Dar Williams, Marshall Crenshaw and featured in films and on network TV.
At Porchfest Jon and Deena will perform songs about new love, old shoes, neighbors, social media, the weather, law and other topics large and small, accompanied by guitar and banjo.
