"Marah's signature sound: a combustible mix of acoustic string music and rebellious Replacements-like rock & roll fleshed out by imaginative lyrics." - Rolling Stone Magazine

"I’d heard a great deal about their legendary live shows, and was not disappointed...The next time Marah comes to town, mark your calendar; they’ll revitalize your faith in music and humanity. Don’t miss the show!" - Ellmore Magazine

Marah is a great, great rock band that gets compared to The Rolling Stones, The Replacements, Steve Earle, and Bruce Springsteen. They are also one of the best live bands around. So when they asked us to host a show, we said "Hell yes!"

We've loved Marah ever since we heard Kids in Philly in 2000. Part of what we love about them is how much their music reflects their hometown. Many of their songs feature Philadelphia's landmarks and neighborhoods. Their songs also incorporate the city's music, from the manic banjo of the Mummer's parade to doo-wop harmonies.

This will be a mostly acoustic trio show, but they are still going to deliver more rock than a quarry truck.

$20 suggested donation, which all goes to the performers
