Philly Gumbo

“Philly Gumbo’s distinctive blend of New Orleans R & B, blues, reggae and soul has made it a unique and popular presence on the Philadelphia music scene for thirty years. Over the years the band has been recognized by Philadelphia Magazine in their annual ‘Best Of Philadelphia’ issues and by The Philadelphia Music Foundation, as well as having played most of the top venues and major events in the area.”  – Soultracks magazine

“Philly Gumbo creates a personal pastiche of rhythm and blues, rock and reggae, that’s not just irresistible, but transcendent.”   –  Philadelphia City Paper

 

Love? said the Commander

 

Love? said the Commander is a duo from the ‘PhilaJersey’ area that embraces ‘maximal minimalism’ in order to create slow-burning emo-folk that’ll make ya feel stuff. Kate Hall met Chris Bishop in the winter of 2018 via a Craigslist ad. Since then, they’ve released six EPs and several singles and played hundreds of live performances throughout the Northeast. Their debut album, ‘Cast Away,’ was released on July 24, 2024 and the pair celebrated with an album release show at The Fallser Club on Friday, July 26.

 

The Fallser Club is located at 3721 Midvale Ave. Philadelphia, PA 19129
