Will Paquin / Smushie

Will Paquin started out writing in private, crafting songs in bedrooms, dorm rooms, and backseats. Since the breakout success of his 2020 single “Chandelier” (now certified gold), he’s released a handful of singles and EPs, keeping much of his creative process behind the scenes. However, with&nbsp;Hahaha's self-released debut album arriving this September, Paquin steps into the spotlight with raw energy and unfiltered emotion. Written mostly on tour during a breakup, the album captures the messy tension between heartache and catharsis. The frantic opener, “We Really Done It This Time,” and the explosive title track set the tone, while songs like “Orangutan” and “Roll the Dice” blend humor with heartbreak. Earlier material—like fan favorites “I Work So Hard” and “Our World Is Falling Apart”—has been reimagined through a new lens. Produced alongside longtime collaborator William Levin and finalized with mixing engineer Nathan Boddy and mastering engineer Mike Bozzi,&nbsp;Hahaha&nbsp;is a chaotic, guitar-charged celebration of growth, release, and finally letting the world in. The doors are no longer closed. Smushie is the solo effort and childhood nickname of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Austin Koenigstein. A New Yorker by origin, Koenigstein moved to Chicago in 2019, where he has since distinguished himself with a volcanic live act and a torrent of self-produced material. Smushie’s music strikes at conventions of genre and tribe, at once casting an R&amp;B pocket against wailing CBGB vocals, at any given show transforming folk numbers into pounding four-on-the-floor booty-busters, with the aid of searing guitar lines and a towering rhythm section. Rich in both humor and urgency, his songs leap into confrontation, touching on class divides, loss of innocence, bad-faith clowns, surreal landscapes, and the nuclear potential of a good time. His shows are, above all, fun. In 2023, Smushie released his debut album, Doofus Casanova, quickly following it up with two EPs and a collaborative LP. His sophomore solo full-length record is slated for release in early 2025.

Crossroads Presents: Mark William Lewis / Samba Jean-Baptise

“A figure emerging suddenly from the mist, carrying wisdom deeper than even he knows.” - Pitchfork  “A bracing gust of the avant-garde to the stuffy, crowded field of dream pop” - The Fader Mark William Lewis is an artist that exists between the cracks. He eschews easy genre categorisation, plays with the traditional conventions of a songwriter, and creates music that is poetically sharp, visually vivid, yet texturally opaque. Writing songs that explore the intersection between intimacy and alienation, connection and disconnection, he is a singular and bold voice operating in a distinctly unique yet blurry space. His recent track ‘Tomorrow is Perfect’ is the first release via A24 Music, a song that feels like the purest embodiment of him as a complete artist to date, blurring the boundaries of imagery, music and words pushed to the forefront. Lewis has received praise from <a href="https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/mark-william-lewis-living/">Pitchfork</a> and <a href="https://www.thefader.com/2025/01/10/new-music-friday-stream-projects-from-ethel-cain-mark-william-lewis-and-more">The Fader</a> for his previous releases Sparkles 22-24 and Living, as well as featuring on NYC rap figurehead MIKE’s “Let’s Have A Ball” and collaborating with Bar Italia’s Nina Crisante on the song “Thinner”.  Over the past few years, Lewis has become a fixture in more innovative spaces of London’s live music scene, with his performances and music becoming a word-of-mouth success. This led to sold out US debut shows at Elsewhere and Public Records (NYC) and The Echo (LA) last year and a full headline show at a sold-out ICA earlier this year. He has previously released music via Scenic Route, with the vinyl release of joint EP ‘God Complex/Pleasure Is Everything’ selling out in under 24 hours. Samba Jean-Baptiste is a songwriter and musician grown out of a classical cello practice and developed through the evolving electronic recorded music landscape. Through self taught guitar and peripheral production elements, Samba’s music presents unguarded storytelling alongside discerningly simple compositions.

Argonaut & Wasp Live at the Red Room

Argonaut &amp; Wasp is the Brooklyn-based band known for their infectious grooves, catchy vocals, and explosive live performances. Formed by chance in a college dorm room, they've grown into a New York City mainstay, selling out residencies and venues like Elsewhere, Rough Trade, Music Hall of Williamsburg, and the Bowery Ballroom.  As Billboard put it: "All across the country, dancers are boogieing to the clang of guitars and singing along to original vocal hooks like it's Manchester circa 1983, but in NYC, it's Argonaut &amp; Wasp supplying the infectious hooks." Their debut album STARLIGHT 99 dropped in 2021 after much of 2020 was spent writing and producing in quarantine. Featuring standout tracks like “Monacillo,” “Composure” (featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday), and “Dog Days” (produced by Jarrah McCleary), the LP marked a defining moment in their sound—described by LADYGUNN as having “an ‘80s flair that will undeniably bring you to your feet” and “will have you searching for your bell bottoms and someone to hit the nearest disco with.” Since their inception, the band has toured extensively, playing shows across their Northeast roots and beyond. A&amp;W has hit stages at festivals like SXSW, Summerfest, and Wonderstruck, and has supported artists including Benny Sings, Miami Horror, Bag Raiders, the Palms, Giant Rooks, and Autoheart. With multiple national headline tours under their belt—most recently in fall 2022 with support from Hembree—they’ve earned a reputation for high-energy, dynamic live shows. With recent singles “GRIMM” and “Always Forever” and a new full-length album on the way, stay tuned—2025 is set to be a big year for Argonaut &amp; Wasp.

Hunter Root

Few artists embody the spirit of creative exploration as seamlessly as Pennsylvania-based multi-instrumentalist Hunter Root. His journey is a tale of passion and resilience, and his success is a testament to his intuition and his unique musical vision. Raised in an environment steeped in classic rock, Hunter's musical foundation was built alongside his older brother who introduced him to guitar, and opened his eyes to the power of songwriting. As a founding member of the psychedelic rock outfit Medusa's Disco, Hunter honed his skills on stage, and gained invaluable insight into the labyrinthine workings of the music industry. Embracing a genre-fluid approach, Hunter's music weaves together elements of acoustic rock, folk, grunge, and more. His approach to songwriting has evolved over the years, shifting from a lyric-centric process to a music-first methodology. This shift has allowed Hunter to match emotive soundscapes with the narrative potency of his songs, yielding compositions rich in both meaning and emotion. He employs a similarly immersive approach to music production. He writes, records, mixes, and produces all his albums, an uncompromising process that is both demanding and gratifying. Hunter's personal experiences heavily influence his music. His acclaimed 2023 album, 'Arkansas', was created as a tribute following the passing of his older brother in 2020, beautifully encapsulating his introspection. Despite calling Central Pennsylvania home, the four years he spent in Arkansas during his youth had a profound impact on his artistry. Consequently, each song is a deeply personal narrative, an homage to the sights, sounds, aches, and scars found there. Hunter's music achieved viral success through TikTok and Instagram, where his songs 'Town Rat Heathen' and 'Quicksand Sinking' struck a chord with users worldwide. He swiftly accumulated hundreds of thousands of followers across both platforms, inevitably driving traffic to Spotify, where his singles have garnered millions of plays. 2024 will see Hunter continue to build on his momentum, as he plans an extensive series of tour dates accompanied by his live band.

Olivia Barton: For Me, Myself, and You Tour

Olivia Barton is a singer/songwriter from Orlando, Florida whose indie folk rock songs recall the honesty of Phoebe Bridgers and the layered harmonies of The Staves. With a clear, unaffected voice set against brooding guitars, Barton writes about the things she never planned to share out loud—queer love, family, heartbreak, anxiety, and the messy beauty of growing up. Her third album, For Myself and For You, co-produced by Pinegrove’s Sam Skinner, strips away any pretense to reveal songwriting at its most direct. Barton has toured North America with artists like Lizzy McAlpine and Madi Diaz, co-writing songs for both, and continues to captivate audiences with performances that balance delicacy and raw power.

Crossroads Presents: Somebody's Child

Somebody’s Child is a rising force in modern rock known for their dynamic sound and raw, heartfelt songwriting. Led by frontman Cian Godfrey, the Dublin-based band has built a reputation for electrifying live performances, selling out venues across the UK, Ireland, and continental Europe, and sharing stages with the War on Drugs, Bloc Party, and Kings of Leon. Their self-titled debut album in 2023 cemented them as a standout act, with anthemic tracks like “Broken Record,” “I Need Ya,” and “We Could Start a War” resonating with fans. In 2024, they took even bigger strides, including a milestone headline show at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre and a main-stage performance at Electric Picnic. Determined to evolve beyond indie-rock conventions, Somebody’s Child constantly pushes their creative boundaries. Their second album, When Youth Fades Away, recorded in Connecticut with Grammy-winning producer Peter Katis (the National, Interpol), explores new sonic territory, influenced in part by electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk. Released in March 2025, the record embraces change both sonically and thematically, reflecting on the realities of growing older—not with nostalgia, but with a hunger for reinvention. As Godfrey puts it, “There is no Somebody’s Child—it’s just a figment of our imaginations allowing us to process our lives.” Somebody’s Child will bring When Youth Fades Away to North America in February 2026 as part of an extensive touring schedule.

Jonah Marais: Hearts Back Home Tour

Born in Stillwater, Minnesota, <a href="https://jonah-marais.com/">Jonah Marais</a> embarked on his musical journey in 2016 by livestreaming from his bedroom, building a following that led to cofounding the renowned band Why Don't We. Over their six years together, the group achieved remarkable milestones—amassing more than 9 billion global streams, earning two RIAA Platinum-certified singles, and five RIAA Gold-certified singles. With two top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and sold-out tours at legendary venues worldwide, Marais has firmly established himself in the music scene with the band. In June 2024, Marais took a bold step forward by releasing The Jonah Marais Mixtape—a collection of five songs that offers fans a raw and honest look into his personal journey. His standout single, “Slow Motion,” has surpassed 4 million streams and climbed to #28 on US Pop Radio, signaling his evolving artistry and resonance as a solo performer. Named one of Amazon Music's 2025 Artists to Watch, Marais kicked off the year with a Times Square billboard and a yearlong campaign highlighting his rising solo career. He has been collaborating with Grammy Award-winning producer and writer Ryan Lewis and acclaimed director Jason Koenig (known for his work with Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, and Macklemore) on his highly anticipated debut solo EP, released in May 2025. The EP's first single, “Better Place,” delves into mental health and the importance of seeking support, while the track “More Than Enough” offers a powerful reflection on navigating a mental health crisis and finding faith and sobriety. “More Than Enough” has already generated over 30 million impressions across social media, further proving Marais’s ability to connect deeply with listeners. After a successful 2024 headline tour, a spring 2025 European run, and a May tour alongside Nightly—culminating at Nashville, Tennessee's iconic Ryman Auditorium—Marais continues to captivate audiences across the globe. His upcoming Hearts Back Home tour, kicking off in October in Nashville, will carry forward his mission of connection, vulnerability, and community. With undeniable talent and an unwavering passion for storytelling through music, Marais is poised to make a lasting impact as a solo artist.

Rio Romeo: Good Grief Tour

Rio Romeo is a genre-blurring artist whose radical honesty and magnetic presence have earned them cult status in the 2020s. Their breakout single, “Nothing’s New,” has racked up over 300 million streams, and with over 700,000 TikTok followers, they’ve built a deeply loyal fanbase. Their new album,&nbsp;Good Grief,&nbsp;reflects five turbulent years of transformation—cross-country moves, artistic breakthroughs, queerness, homelessness, a devastating injury, and healing, all backed by a fiercely supportive online community. Their sound fuses theatrical flair with punk edge and queer folk heart, making their storytelling both intimate and explosive. Raised in a conservative Christian home and homeschooled in Southern California, Romeo's journey from isolation to self-discovery has been anything but linear. After being kicked out for coming out, Romeo bounced between cars and couches before building an audience on TikTok by sharing their truth, first through raw storytelling, then through soul-baring songs. They write on a beat-up, out-of-tune piano they refused to “fix,” and now bring it on tour as a symbol of resilience. With songs like “Butch 4 Butch” and “God’s Got Something Out for Me,”&nbsp;Good Grief&nbsp;isn’t just an album—it’s a lifeline for anyone who’s ever felt broken, pissed off, or painfully hopeful.

The Cactus Blossoms

At its best, harmony duo singing can transform simple math into a magic trick. One plus one, instead of equaling two, suddenly yields an unexpected third thing—an uppercase ONE. A universal hum. A deep vibration that encompasses two different points of view. On their latest release,&nbsp;Every Time I Think About You, brothers Jack Torrey and Page Burkum—a.k.a.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.thecactusblossoms.com/">the Cactus Blossoms</a>—once again prove themselves to be among the most adept and distinctive modern practitioners of that magic. But like any great magician, the Cactus Blossoms can’t—or won’t—fully explain the illusion they create. “Harmonies are a big part of our sound, but in some ways they’re the part we focus on the least,” says Burkum. “We put most of our attention and energy into the songs themselves, and then the harmonies just happen.” There’s all kinds of magic happening on&nbsp;Every Time I Think About You—a record that sounds more like a band than any other in the Cactus Blossoms's discography, thanks to contributions from Jeremy Hanson (drums), Jacob Hanson (guitar), and Phillip Hicks (bass). “There She Goes” casts its romantic regret against a danceable bop beat, while the title track is a heart-wrencher about loss and letting go. “Even if you don’t set out to write songs with a theme in mind, it seems like one usually presents itself,” says Torrey. “This record keeps returning to the idea of moving on—from one place to another, from people and situations that bring you down, from loss and grief.”

Let the Stories Be Told: A Conversation with Author Bill Janovitz and Members of The Cars

Let the Stories Be Told: A Conversation with Author Bill Janovitz and Members of The Cars Presented by Brookline Booksmith Hosted by Oedipus Join us for an intimate evening celebrating&nbsp;The Cars:&nbsp;Let the Stories Be Told, the definitive biography of one of the most beloved and influential bands to emerge from the New Wave era. Author Bill Janovitz—a New York Times bestselling biographer and founding member of Buffalo Tom—delves deep into the sound, vision, and legacy of The Cars in conversation with band members, with legendary Boston DJ Oedipus hosting the evening. Joining the conversation are two original members of The Cars: David Robinson – Drummer and founding member of The Cars, David Robinson helped define the band’s visual and musical identity. A former member of influential pre-punk bands The Modern Lovers and DMZ, Robinson brought a driving, minimalist style to The Cars’ rhythm section and played a key role in shaping their sleek, futuristic image. His art school background and eye for design made him instrumental in the band’s iconic album aesthetics, including&nbsp;Candy-O. Greg Hawkes – Keyboardist Greg Hawkes was the architect behind The Cars’ signature synth-driven sound. Known for his pioneering use of technology and layered textures, Hawkes infused the band’s hits with inventive riffs and melodic hooks that bridged the gap between rock and new wave. A multi-instrumentalist and Berklee alum, he also played saxophone, guitar, and backing vocals, contributing to The Cars’ distinctive sonic blend. Following the success of Cars, Hawkes has remained active as a session player, solo artist, and collaborator. Oedipus, the trailblazing radio voice who first brought punk and New Wave to Boston’s airwaves, lends his iconic presence to the conversation. As longtime WBCN program director and host of the cult-favorite&nbsp;Nocturnal Emissions, Oedipus helped launch countless artists and made Boston a hub for cutting-edge music. A member of the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame, his Christmas Eve broadcast is a local tradition, and his ongoing work at The Oedipus Project continues to champion new and experimental music. This special event brings together two of The Cars’ original members, a celebrated biographer, and a legendary DJ for a night of storytelling, nostalgia, and deep insight into the legacy of one of rock’s most innovative bands.

TimaLikesMusic: That '90s/Y2K Love R&B Party

There’s an audience. And there’s a stage. And in between, someone’s gotta bring the good time. Someone’s gotta lead that audience from stage to euphoria. Someone’s gotta bring the funk. Who’s that someone? Say it out loud:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.timalikesmusic.com/">TimaLikesMusic</a>. Tima takes a date on the calendar and turns it into a destination. From Brooklyn to Atlanta to Washington, D.C., from Chicago to Philadelphia to Nashville and Memphis, Tima has used her superpowers to energize crowds with nights that blend DJ sets and a rotating cast of live musicians she lovingly calls the Sex Symbols. TimaLikesMusic Presents: That Y2K Love is her signature DJ party. The music of Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and more brings back memories for some and makes new ones for most.

Kinneret: Migration Tour / Leila Lamb

Listen to a <a href="https://www.kinneret.world/">Kinneret</a> song and you’re just as likely to encounter a pop hook drenched in glitter as you are a philosophical inquiry that you’ll be pondering for days. “Can you ever reach the end of a timeless existence?” she asked casually on “No Wind Resistance!” Everyone who was entranced by the song’s off-kilter beat and slippery synths probably had no idea it was made by a girl in high school in between classes in Los Angeles, California. The success of that single was, in short, life changing for Kinneret. Deciding to delay her attendance at Berklee College of Music, she continued to release new music and began to channel more energy into her live performances—most recently touring in support of Princess Chelsea. Somewhere along the way, she grew into a self-assured artist, maintaining her sparkle and eccentricity while refining and reimagining her left-of-center sound. Her newest single, "<a href="https://youtu.be/rMQVairFhyY?si=q5U---U-tE8G0fyy">Solar Kiss</a>," was co-written and produced by acclaimed producer Jorge Elbrecht (Sky Ferreira, Japanese Breakfast), and it kicked off Kinneret's new era of music and reinvention in which she creates a world that will send listeners back and forth between the forest and the solar system. Kinneret continues this transcendence with her latest single, "Every Breath," produced by Torna (Daisy the Great, Del Water Gap), alongside a fantastically surreal and mystical <a href="https://youtu.be/uuwW9we0Z4c?si=j6iUzupsV4BAvy5z">video</a> directed by Joelle Taylor. Leila Bahrami’s artist project, <a href="https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Fartist%2F2n3aUuffTp4GLAVEcqILwp%3Fsi%3DC7JSka1qTFOPI2-RwOp2lA%26fbclid%3DPAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafml5SI1ZS1nAJRBJYN_E4aoAiN7zB6hsGcJaVT5XGFbYTRGQE_-B--WB9Kig_aem_rb0BTy5QRIb-Nso9Jpthww&amp;e=AT1JmeIgv8j0t5EC5rRh5PLJVvFlHIZmWTZ2dl5Xe06A6nJxsRF7ehJ5Yccj5SQijm3cFwfQiIrVkdKjU-4Mcmg9HwdjQKJ3RjTAqWe7k6-ZWbuaTuNeBQ">Leila Lamb</a>, seeks to merge the seemingly contrasting concepts of femininity and horror into one identity. To her, girlhood and the female experience are inherently horrific—a split-screen of sugar and spice that mirrors a life of turmoil, confusion, skewed lenses, and objectification. She yearns to reclaim control by embracing these ideas and encouraging others to follow suit. She writes music for the dissonant: perfectly flawed, lovably vile, sweetly sour, and purely tainted. With lyrics that titillate and terrify, she blends sounds and bends genres, creating a corner of music inspired by the likes of Queen, No Doubt, Radiohead, Fiona Apple, Imogen Heap, and Kate Bush—with a modern twist.

Rarely does modern music earn the badge of "timeless," but&nbsp;<a href="https://belwhelanmusic.com/">BEL</a>&nbsp;cuts through the noise. Hailing from the small town of Clovis, California, Isabel Whelan, a.k.a. BEL, crafts nostalgic songs with honesty and attention to detail. She occupies the intersection of indie rock, pop, and folk, drawing inspiration from the likes of Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, and Mazzy Star. In 2023, BEL played her first festivals, toured and collaborated with artists including Boyish, Gatlin, and girlhouse, and performed her first shows in the UK and Europe. Her latest EP,&nbsp;Read the Room, received coverage from&nbsp;Rolling Stone,&nbsp;Ones to Watch, and&nbsp;Raydar&nbsp;Magazine, along with support from SiriusXMU, AltNation, and KCRW. The lead single, “Are You Okay?,” reached no. 1 on SiriusXMU in April/May 2023 and landed on their list of the top 41 songs of the year. With new music underway, BEL is set to support Cold War Kids and BAILEN in 2024.
