Get ready for another memorable night out as First Reserve & Dropper share the bill with rising star Elly Mae. This will be an evening to feast your ears on a diverse soundscape of angular guitars, melodic goodness, and glorious noise.
Here’s the lo-down:
First Reserve is inevitable. Before adopting the moniker in 2023, Ryan Connaghan had been prolifically writing music that communicated their experiences in life, love, and loneliness. These themes are all approached on songs like “Last One” and “Me & My Friends” – the first offerings from First Reserve’s debut EP set for release in late 2025. On stage, their sound is both intimate and larger-than-life, combining influences from alt-rock, indie-folk, and pop.
The brainchild of Jude Savage, Dropper blends pop sensibilities with a dense, guitar-driven wall of sound, echoing influences like Hüsker Dü, JPS Experience, and Afghan Whigs. Following the release of their singles Your Face Says It All and Didn’t Want to be Your Light, Dropper is quickly earning a reputation for memorable live performances punctuated by thoughtful musicianship and songwriting. With a full-length album coming out later this year, this is your chance to catch their powerful live show.
Elly Mae's music encapsulates the bittersweet complexities of growth, relationships, time escaping, and the nostalgia embedded within. Her music is an amalgamation of folk, dreampop, shoegaze and whatnot.
