Hoot Night w/Andrew Polakow
Hoot Night has been of the Seacoast’s most popular open mic nights since our doors first opened in 1976. Hosted by a rotating cast of notable musicians, Hoot Night is your opportunity to work out new songs, dust of old ones, or simply perform in front of an audience.
Wilder Maker w/Righteous Bucks & Kong Moon
We'll say it: Gabriel Birnbaum is one of the best American songwriters alive. With lyrics that would make Allen Ginsberg jealous, Birnbaum spins yarns that bring to life long, hot Brooklyn nights of heartache, debauchery, and searing existentialism while his band leaves listeners breathless with a sound that's both melodic and incredibly complex.
The Underground Upstairs ft. EllaMaeFlossie w/Marcel P. Black, Graphic Melee & Uncle Sam
The Underground Upstairs, a monthly rap showcase curated by Kingdom is back with another full night of underground hip-hop featuring EllaMaeFlossie.
Throwdown Thursday w/DJ XO
Thursday night from 9:30 to close we'll have a rotating cast of DJs downstairs, spanning every genre imaginable and spinning every hit you never knew you needed in your life.
Lonesome Lunch w/Dave Talmage
Folk and bluegrass multi-instrumentalist Old Time Dave Talmage joins us every Friday downstairs for lunch, salting the room with good time tunes, and a sad song peppered in here and there.
Club d’Elf
Trying to categorize the sounds of Club d'Elf is a fool's errand. The band has settled on "Moroccan-dosed psychedelic dub jazz" but... expect the unexpected.
