April 26: Chris McGarry & The Insomniacs

Born on the Mississippi River and raised on Methodist hymns, folk ballads and vintage country, learning to play was a necessity for Chris McGarry. After simultaneously picking up a guitar and an obsession with Walt Whitman, creating his own songs became only inevitable. Residing in Denver’s Capitol Hill, McGarry is part of the new breed of old-time musicians who live in trendy neighborhoods while mining the internet for inspiration found in the form of depression-era 78’s transferred to mp3 format.

March 29: Radical Knitting Circle

"It is hard to pinpoint a genre for Radical Knitting Circle. Each part of each song sounded like a different one and it seems as though that's exactly what they're going for--an eclectic, quirky set that keeps the crowd guessing." -Boulder Daily Camera

"Radical Knitting Circle has successfully dragged the river and found the remains of an old soul full of heartbreak and hammered fingernails, lost constituencies and the poetry of a hymn. On finding this fortune, they have pieced together a sound both raucous yet melodic, traditional though progressive."

March 1: The Autumn Film

Denver's The Autumn Film plays on the Kabaret highlighting their latest album, "The Ship and The Sea".

“Like a post-collegiate Fiona Apple jamming with Snow Patrol, [The Autumn Film] serves up a piano-drenched sincerity topped off with a voice that's wise and heartbroken beyond its years” ~The Onion

The Autumn Film has a voice you'd swear you've heard before, although the band was voted “Best Band to Come out of Nowhere” by The Westword. Al-Attas' voice is completely her own. It's a huge voice, like an old friend, telling you secrets one minute, reassuring you the next. It's spiritual, soothing, soft, but powerful enough to fill a room. It leaves goose bumps over and over again, each time the opening notes sound.
