Josh and his wife Jessica have spent the last 15 years helping so many people through the power of music, and we’re hoping to return the favor with this special night at The Fallser Club! Our hope is with every note played and every dollar raised, we’re also raising their spirits!

Growing up in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, he was influenced by his mother’s involvement in a country-rock band and began teaching guitar lessons during high school . He pursued his interest in music by studying the music business at Drexel University.
As a musician, Craft has been involved with many beloved Philadelphia-based bands such as The Bee Team and Conversations with Enemies. He continues to create music, with his latest solo album, “I Hope It’s Good,” released in April 2025.

Roberta Faceplant is a honky tonk hurricane from Philadelphia. The 5-piece Outlaw Americana band has been called “a cowpunk miracle” and been compared to “Southern Culture on the Skids fronted by Laura Bell Bundy.” It’s Country, but you can hear the city.
Vocalist and singer/songwriter Katie Feeney leads the band with a voice that blends the raw, rock n’ roll grit of Janis Joplin with the whimsical, western smoothness of Patsy Cline. Staffed by a gang of mischievous musical veterans, Roberta Faceplant’s live show is high-energy roadhouse joy infused with a rebellious spirit that’ll keep you on the dance floor all night.
The band’s sound has captivated audiences in the Northeast Corridor with elements of southern rock, old school country, rockabilly, and the blues blending perfectly into a melting pot of killer melodies, memorable riffs, and playful storytelling.
Roberta Faceplant has already garnered international press and radio play on KEXP, WXPN, KLKT, KOOP, Nola County Radio, Post To Wire, Lonesome Highway and more. The band just released their debut EP, Yee Haw Stuff, on July 26, 2024 and is working on a follow up slated for 2025

Small Graves

small graves formed from the pandemic ashes of Philadelphia band goodnight/goodluck. The band takes a similarly impassioned approach, albeit with a more personal and inward-facing lens.
small graves (Alex Brown, Ed Taylor, Eric Zrinsky, and Jayson Verdibello) creates a frenzied mix of Iron Chic and Japandroids anthemic punk rock with a healthy dose of indie rock sincerity from bands like Tokyo Police Club and Death Cab for Cutie. Add to that the raw, gritty sound of 90s alt-rock bands like The Toadies and Silverchair, and you get a sound that feels nostalgic and familiar, while tilling new sonic grounds.

The New Connection is a 5-peice Philadelphia based band that plays their own blend of rock music. They are music for the ADD generation, drawing influences from bands like The Beatles, Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Talking Heads, The Clash, Elvis Costello, NOFX and The Police. They sound like a music nerd’s iPod on shuffle and can be compared to newer artists like Minus The Bear, Vampire Weekend, The Mars Volta and Local Natives.

PLASTIC SOLDIERS are a father and son duo. Fusing two lifetimes that were musically intertwined, the Soldiers are excited to share their special brand of rock ’n roll with a larger audience. Bill Mecaughey—songwriter, guitarist, vocalist and project-visionary has merged his musical gifts with his son, Todd. The younger Mecaughey contributes his formidable and complementary talents—engineering, drumming/percussion and bass playing— to create a broad range of freshly compelling music. Together, Bill and Todd bring to their debut album, “Borrowed Time”, over 60 years of music experience, much of it shared. This sonorous family heirloom was conceived in Bill’s Sunroom Studio, brought to life at Todd’s home-away-from-home, Cambridge Sound Studios, and mastered at Abbey Road Studios by world-renowned mastering engineer, Miles Showell. “Borrowed Time” represents the product of eight years of inspired familial collaboration.
