Our 9/9 performers: Old Tom &amp; the Lookouts, spearheaded by Alex Calabrese, is a Boston-based indie-folk band. Through brooding lyrics and wistful melodies, Old Tom’s projects culminate to cast a lens on mental health. Alex’s striking vocals pay homage to influences such as Tom Waits, Phoebe Bridgers, and Frightened Rabbit. The band’s latest original record, a co-creation with violinist and vocalist Cecilia Vacanti, Just For Beasts, depicts a story of non-linear progress and perseverance. "Just for Beasts is one of those essential records that everyone should give a spin." (Music Mecca) Old Tom &amp; the Lookouts have been seen on Sofar Sounds stages throughout the U.S., as well as at iconic venues such as Club Passim (Cambridge, MA), City Winery (Boston, MA), The Press Room (Portsmouth, NH), Pete's Candy Store (NYC, NY), and Skylark Lounge (Denver, CO). More at <a href="https://oldtommusic.com/">oldtommusic.com</a>. Ciderdown is singer-songwriter Marissa Fritz. She has a special place in her heart for writing lyrics inspired by Shakespeare's female characters, playing covers of her favorite band The National, and petting dogs. She has also published several pieces of short fiction under the pen name M. Leanne Fritz. You can find her on Instagram @_ciderdown_. Jack Byrne is a Boston-based singer/songwriter who weaves intricate fingerstyle guitar lines into his intimate indie-folk songs. He is influenced by artists such as Iron &amp; Wine, Johanna Warren, and Simon &amp; Garfunkel. Jack also teaches music at NEMPAC and the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, and sings in the choir at the Old North Church in Boston. His latest album, New Beginnings and Resolutions, is available on all streaming platforms. More at <a href="https://jackbyrnemusic.com/">jackbyrnemusic.com</a>.
