  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. Ambitious Tugboat is the songs and performances of Pancho the Kid, Pelvis McGillicuddy, Sam Potrykus, and their friends. At times earnest, at times playful, and always a hoot -- the band's sound is still evolving -- with Pancho and Pelvis offering up an endless stream of unforgettable folk tunes, tied together by Sam's psych-rendered bass lines and sweet harmonies -- and a rotating cast of characters who come aboard to add touches of blues, garage, soul, doo-wop, and ambient noise, etc. The group is affiliated with the Whitehaus Family Record in Jamaica Plain and has performed on all sorts of stages -- from Burlington, Vermont to Brooklyn, New York -- while stopping to eat grapefruits at every opportunity.

    THE ISLINGTON HOUSE'S LAST SHOW EVER! WE'RE ALL MOVING AWAY FROM BOSTON! THIS SHOW HAS TO BE HUGE!
    Monday, August 16
    7PM
    Islington House Showspace
    3 Islington Terrace
    Allston, MA

    MIDTOWN DICKENS - Midtown Dickens began as a ragtag, learn-while-you-play duo of best friends Kym Register and Catherine Edgerton. The project was born in the post-industrial blues town of Durham, NC when the pair began collecting orphaned instruments from generous friends and back alley dumpsters. Eager to include more friends in the project, the pair rallied a DIT (Do-It-Together) front-porch collective of players who shared instruments such as the banjo, accordion, musical saw, trumpet, trombone, guitar, drums, mandolin, upright bass, harmonica, glockenspiel, spoons, and whatever else was lying around.

    DON'T bring any drugs or alcohol!

    Love ya!
