Live Music at Ula Cafe: Orbiter

Join us for live music at Ula Cafe! Boston DIY rock band Orbiter brings a special acoustic set to Ula! Known for songs that pull from indie, pop punk, and shoegaze, the band is trading its usual wall of guitars for a stripped-down sound that puts the melodies front and center. Their latest single, "It Could Be Better," came out this summer. Come early and settle in with something from our evening menu, plus beer and wine. The music is free and everyone is welcome! Learn more about the band at orbiterbos.bandcamp.com About Ula: Ula Cafe in Jamaica Plain is a favorite neighborhood gathering spot, a cozy community space where neighbors come together over great food, drinks, and good company.
