"Ben Trickey’s songs are about as dark as country songs get...he taps into all those lonesome cowboys—Prine, Van Zandt, even contemporaries like Jason Molina..."

-Matthew Fiander, PopMatters

Emily Rodgers, Misra Records

"Emily Rodgers has one of those haunting, unforgettable voices that radiates with a surreal beauty."

This coming July is the sixth annual Deutschtown Music Festival, and we've played every single one so far, so we were not about to let the fact that Nicholas will be off on a Grand Adventure spoil the streak. Come to the Wigle Barrelhouse on Saturday, July 14th at 4:00 to see and hear The Leah Hohman Band stepping in and stepping up! (They do some pretty decent Brewer's Row covers, I must say.)

Indie singer/songwriter Misty Boyce is a solo artist who’s also forged a career as a keyboardist and backing vocalist (plus occasional guitarist) in touring bands for the likes of Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, and BØRNS, just to name a few. A native of New Mexico, Boyce took to the idea of a career in music at a young age and began writing songs while in primary school. She would eventually go on to enroll at the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, where she studied jazz piano.

Ben Shannon was born in Nashville Tennessee, the child of two social justice activist parents.

Misty's third full length album, "Get Lost", recorded with Lera Lynn and Josh Grange at Resistor Studios in Nashville, is out February 16th. Ben's upcoming release, "The Finalist" is a collection of folk songs recorded in the span of two days in Woodstock NY and is due for release in the Fall of 2017.

Friday. March 3rd, Brewer's Row comes to The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls along with very special guests Paul Tabachneck and Akrasia's Bill Danylo and Mike Buric!

An amazing lineup...

Mark Dignam - The Irish born, US-based singer/songwriter crafts accessible, politically charged, witty, and reflective observations of life, love, and death in the spirit of Van Morrison, Billy Bragg, John Wesley Harding, and Josh Ritter.

Nick Africano - A songwriter, poet, multi-intrumentalist, band-leader, solo performer, producer, and experimenter with watercolors. His style defies the confines of genre and lives in the mysterious space of rock and roll, combining the best of storytelling, soul, and americana. Lyrics often softly spoken, or soulfully crooned. At once powerful and subtle. His live performances are captivating and spontaneous, moving between acoustic guitar, resonator guitar, and piano.

...and us!

The music starts at 8:00 sharp. $10 at the door.
