Denver songwriter Austen Carrol Grafa joins forces with Greg Butera and Ziloeta for a night of tunes at Ghost!

...

Austen Carrol Grafa
As the front man of Denver's premiere "campfire country" band, Grayson County Burn Ban, Grafa has made a reputation for himself across the front range for his sharp wit, fun-loving stage presence and emotive songwriting.

Austen Carroll Grafa just released his debut solo EP, do it while you can.

"True to Grafa’s genuine spirit, the four songs on 'do it while you can' also take major steps toward doing the three things important artists in any medium excel at: making you laugh, think and cry."
- Denver Westword (May 1, 2019)

Greg Butera
Doing a special solo performance, singer/songwriter, band leader, and multi-instrumentalist Greg Butera is well known face for music lovers in this town. His songs blend wry humor and heartfelt sincerity, as exemplified by the album "Tell Me Now."

Ziloeta
Ziloeta is “of the place of caves”, bringing sparse, raw emotions up and out of the dark. She uses her voice to transmute grief, death, seasons, juniper berries, snow, love, rocks, etc. into something that can be held, for a moment, by the song.
On Instagram @Ziloeta

Dancer in the Sun brings their songs of haunted beauty and sadness back to Ghost, this time accompanied by friends from near and far. Seb Thoreux, of the band Wonderboy joins all the way from Rennes, France, and the Albuquerque improvisational desert rocker, GRAL Brothers, come together to make this a night not to miss!

Psychedelic High-Desert noir sitting somewhere between David Lynch and Ennio Morricone. Sci-fi nightmares, arid soundscapes and plaintive improvisation...

A night of mellow music with Paul and Robby
Doors are at 7:30pm
Come spend some time with your friends

Join us for a special night of acoustic music at Ghost! We are thrilled to have Jack Senff from the great state of Michigan bringing his contemplative and wistful songs to Santa Fe for the first time. His first album under his own name, "Good To Know You", is a triumph of gentle, minimal arrangements backing up beautiful melodies and concise song structures. Jack is joined by the indelible duo known as Atalaya, who blend their guitar, fiddle, and voices to bring you songs that are as powerfully emotive as they are well crafted. And the prog-infused, melodic post-rockers Future Scars will play a special acoustic set!

...

Jack Senff

Jack M. Senff has spent most of his adult life trying to find the rhythm, the verve, the song. Loud to soft, time has seen him move from band to band, project to project, drifting between tones and abstractions with the seminal (William Bonney), the earnest (Boy Rex), the obscure (North Folk)

Senff’s first album under his own name, Good To Know You, sees him shedding those masks and monikers in hopes it can bring him that much closer to the work. It is an album about time, love, loss, family—at once an encapsulation of everything that came before, and the first notes of something bright and new dancing just over the horizon.

Good To Know You Is available now, everywhere, on Skeletal Lightning Records.

https://jackmsenff.bandcamp.com/

...

Atalaya

Dream-folk.

"...the music crafted by Jake Snider and Amelia Stickney is stripped-down and gorgeous, a semi-dark minimal stab at acoustic-driven indie-folk not entirely unlike early Cat Stevens melded with Radiohead-esque vocal feats. Yup, they're good."
-Alex DeVore, The Santa Fe Reporter

Future Scars

"Presently Post Most Things"

Rooted in the high desert, Future Scars is a tender, frenzied monsoon of sound. With lyrically-focused songs that rise and fall between impassioned roars and soft confessions, they create a dramatic, emotionally turbulent musical landscape for the members’ diverse influences to converge.

While the band’s genre could be described as “part” everything—metal, post-rock, weird-rock, prog, indie—their sound resists labeling, which allows the listener to fully sink into their unfamiliar yet compelling euphonic world.

\\\ Goon ///
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DpPPDCAfw0

The walls of Kenny Becker’s apartment are vivid landscapes of color. The frontman ofthe LA-based indie rock quartet Goon is also an accomplished painter, and hesurrounds himself with the fruits of his labor—a series of landscapes, portraits, andabstract pieces united by the vibrancy of their shared primary color palette.Many of these lively pieces, however, were made at a time when the artist feltanything but. Becker suffers from a rare medical condition that periodically deadenshis sense of smell and hearing, which for years shaded his day-to-day life with a dullpallor. “I basically just felt sick all the time,” says Becker. “When it gets really bad, Ican’t even taste.” The paintings, therefore, are, like his music, aspirational—embedded with a sense of longing for something known but not always felt.In the middle of the room—the centerpiece of an otherwise spartan setup—isBecker’s home studio. A small arsenal of guitars, synthesizers, tape machines andrecording equipment surround the deskwhere he wrote and recorded Goon’s latestEP,Happy Omen, a collection of emotive, cautiously optimistic songs about longing,loneliness, and self-doubt. A standout track, the gorgeous, soaring “She,” was chosenby Grizzly Bear frontman Ed Droste as the first track on his “Favorite Songs of 2017”Spotify playlist.The slow-burning Omen is a sonic counterpoint to Goon’s first release: 2016's Duskof Punk, a grittier, sludgier outing that paired Becker’s distinct DIY aesthetic with hisformidable songwritingchops and affinity for earworm melodies. This winningcombination earned high marks from Rolling Stone, Spin, Fader, and BBC Radio Six.The two self-released EPs will be reissued together as a package this year byPartisan, who will also release the bands’ debut full length, due in early 2019. The LPsees Becker stepping out of the bedroom and into the studio with bandmates DrewEccleston, Caleb Wicker, and Christian Koons, who, together, continue to build onGoon’s reputation as one of LA’s must-see liveacts.In the meantime, Becker is newly optimistic. A recent successful surgery drasticallyimproved his symptoms, and the effects were felt almost instantly. “I knew it workedas soon as I woke up,” says Becker. “I feel like I’ve entered a new chapter of health.”

#TuesdayNightDraftPunx is back with Brooklyn's Bethlehem Steel & locals Full Speed Veronica (Santa Fe) & The Ordinary Things (ABQ).

Tuesday, November 12th // 8pm // FREE!

\\\ Bethlehem Steel //
http://bethlehemsteel.bandcamp.com

Bethlehem Steel formed in 2012 out of a long-time friendship that singer/guitarist Rebecca Ryskalczyk, drummer Jonathan Gernhart and bassist Patrick Ronayne forged through nights spent at the Brooklyn DIY venue Shea Stadium. Taking stock of your experiences and your emotional health in solitude can be an empowering task, but enlisting the assistance of allies certainly never hurts, and Bethlehem Steel’s sophomore album is a testament to the value of togetherness in difficult times. Rebecca Ryskalczyk and Christina Puerto’s collaborative energy provide the animating force behind their self-titled sophomore album, a release that serves as guide, of sorts, for those reaching towards self-empowerment, and an illustration of the transformative power of female friendship as a force in overcoming trauma.

Bethlehem Steel is the follow-up to Party Naked Forever, a 2017 release praised by outlets like NPR, The FADER and
Stereogum, is an exhilarating listen, and with the transition from a trio to a four piece, it’s the sound of the band finding
another gear as they change shape and mature as songwriters and musicians. Out September 13 on Exploding In Sound Records.
