Tour kickoff show for Alexander (Boston) and Grumpy (New York), featuring local support from Sweet Petunia and Vinegar.
Alexander
Alexander is the musical project of Boston-based musician and educator Alex Fatato. His music is lyric-centric with throughlines of emotional regulation, perseverance, and self-reflection. In 2018, Alexander released their debut album Settle Down, which was recognized by NPR for lyrics that “get a grip on distorted thinking.” In 2021, Alexander released their third album, Difficult Freedom, which the Boston Globe praised for its “slowcore intensity” and a “first-name-basis sense of intimacy”. Alexander’s music is for everyone.
Grumpy
Grumpy is a ragtag team of turkeys based in New York. The writing project of Mason Schmitt firmly wears its heart (and snot) on its sleeve. Youthful but not infantile, pure but not pious, Grumpy’s music captures a still-life of everyday optimism and the unfortunate yet charming hijinks of growing up.

Sweet Petunia
Listening to queer freak folk duo Sweet Petunia for the first time, many are blown away by the interchanging vocal lines of Madison Simpson & Mairead Guy. Unbelievably, the two are not related, though their voices are almost indistinguishable from each other. These brother harmonies lead Sweet Petunia through many shifting genres, melding traditional folk sensibilities with a distinct punk flare.
Vinegar
Vinegar is a new project from Dimitri Giannopoulos, singer and guitarist of Horse Jumper of Love
