PJ Brown and Her Resistance

Like a band of misfits heeding the clarion call of Philadelphia’s most revered musical ghosts, PJ Brown and Her Resistance assembled for the first time (feat. members of WPJO and the legendary Martha Graham Cracker) for a sold out show at World Café Live! What started as a full-steam homage to Miss Sharon Jones took a left turn when the wheels fell off and the ship lifted high above Love Park , clipping the hat off that bird-dropping-covered statue of William Penn and straight into the sun.
PJ Brown and Her Resistance continues its mission to spread love and music – To celebrate lost souls, excited shapeshifters, perennial drifters, aspiring troublemakers. and unapologetic agents of change.
It’s troubled soul music, taped-together rock and roll, basement party funk—it’s dark as night and light as day—and all of it is for you!

NEW MUSIC!

The band is excited to announce the release of two new songs, “Deeper and Deeper” and “Pink Elephants” –

Shakedown Citi

A new and exciting face on the Jam Band landscape, Shakedown Citi was formed in the Shakedown Street parking lot at Citi Field in 2023, as the musicians met each other for the first time and sensed something special was happening. SC channels the Grateful Dead without trying to copy them outright.
The music feels alive, fresh, and new. Each song is a journey that can take new directions, twists, and turns at any time. The interplay, communication, and musicality of the performers have inspired people who don’t even like the Grateful Dead to LIKE Shakedown Citi.
And if you’re a fan of segues, transitions, song combinations, and creative, fun, and engaging set lists encompassing an expansive repertoire – Shakedown Citi is definitely your jam.

The musicians of Shakedown Citi met for the first time at the Shakedown Parking lot at Citi Field on June 21, 2023. They played their first full-band performance at Hill Country in NYC in January of 2024…
…and the bus has been rolling since then.

Winter solstice is the darkest day of the year. In the darkness, there is an opportunity to let go of things that no longer serve us. It also represents the return of the light, and there is an opportunity to call in what we need.
We look forward to celebrating this opportunity to heal and set our intentions for the year to come. Bring your bright spirit to help us collectively illuminate the darkness together.

Our Beloved Jill Sobule

Jill Sobule’s work was at once deeply personal and socially conscious, seriously funny and derisively tragic. In a dozen albums spanning three decades of recording, the Denver-born songwriter/guitarist/singer has tackled such topics as the death penalty, anorexia nervosa, shoplifting, reproduction, the French Resistance, adolescent malaise, LGBTQ issues, and the Christian Right. Her hits include “I Kissed A Girl”—the first openly gay-themed song ever to crack the Billboard Top 20—and the alt-rock anthem “Supermodel” featured in the film Clueless. Sobule was one half of The Jill & Julia Show, providing music while actor Julia Sweeney contributes storytelling. Jill is considered a pioneer in crowdfunding and is constantly exploring and creating new models for artists in an ever-changing music industry.

Jill’s new record, F*ck 7th Grade – Original Cast Recording and will be released on her own Pinko Records label on June 6th. Her theater credits included a musical adaptation of the Broadway classic Yentl, Prozak and the Platypus, and Times Square. In November of 2019 Jill sang a song as herself on an episode of the Simpsons. F*ck 7th Grade ran off-Broadway for four (4) runs in three (3) years and gained a New York Times Critics Pick. Drama Desk nominated this autobiographical musical, which premiered at the Wild Project in 2022; had a reboot in the Winter of 2023 – and ran again for three weeks in 2024.

Also on June 6th, Rhino Records is releasing her self-titled Atlantic Records album on red vinyl for the first time – to time with Pride Month! This year marks the album’s 30th Anniversary!

Following her untimely demise on May 1st, many of her previously scheduled shows have morphed into Jillith Fair – Loving Jill Sobule shows, benefiting the new It Was A Good Life Foundation. Funds will be distributed by this foundation to the ACLU and other causes Jill cared deeply about. The hope is that these shows will become annual events on her birthday, January 16th & during Pride Month in the future.

Jill left behind two partially completed albums, 50-70+ finished tracks, hundreds of demos, and a few titles that had fallen out of print. Plus, we’re hoping a tribute album will take shape for release to time with a feature length documentary on her that should be completed by years’ end. We hope to help keep her spirit, memory, & music alive.

“Jill Sobule can claim her place among the stellar New York singer-songwriters of the last decade. Topical, funny and more than a little poignant …grown-up music for an adolescent age.” – The New York Times

When Jill performed at the Fallser Club in 2024, our Executive Director Ashana Larsen had the chance to sit down and talk with her about her amazing career, changing the world, losing things, and gaining ourselves. Take a listen to the podcast episode below. (This was recorded while she was packing up for her next show so there is a bit of background noise, but still such a Jill gem that is worth a listen!)

To celebrate the life and work of Jill Sobule, her family and friends have established two funds:

The It Was a Good Life Foundation will distribute donations to the ACLU and other charitable causes Jill cared deeply about.
In both her songs and life, Jill was an outspoken activist for the political and cultural topics she believed in. This foundation will
distribute all donations to charitable causes that Jill deeply cared and sang about. All donations to the It Was A Good Life Foundation
will go to qualified public charities.

PLEASE DONATE HERE – https://secure.lawpay.com/pages/hertzlichtensteinyoungyoungllp/trust-2-card

The Jill Sobule Legacy Fund. All donations will go to the furtherance of Jill’s songbook. Jill left behind two partially completed albums,
Over 70 partially finished tracks, hundreds of demos and at least four musicals. Her loved ones hope to keep her spirit, memory and
music alive by releasing this work.

PLEASE DONATE HERE – https://secure.lawpay.com/pages/hertzlichtensteinyoungyoungllp/trust-1

Jim Boggia

For more than 20 years, Jim Boggia has been winning over fans, critics, contemporaries and luminaries alike with his uncompromising devotion to the sort of winsomely nostalgic, emotionally direct songcraft that’s impervious to age. His sonically intelligent retro-pop manifesto informs three studio albums—2001’s Fidelity Is the Enemy, 2005’s Safe in Sound and 2008’s Misadventures in Stereo—and he’s worked with a startling array of artists, including Aimee Mann, Juliana Hatfield, Mike Viola, Tracy Bonham, Bernadette Peters, David Poe, NRBQ’s Big Al Anderson, famed Beach Boys lyricist Tony Asher, MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer, Attractions drummer Pete Thomas, esteemed ’70s pop misfit Emitt Rhodes, and Canadian songstress Amanda Marshall. Also an accomplished singer and guitarist, Boggia performs with the well-known New York City-based Beatles tribute band, the Fab Faux, as well as Mad Dogs & Dominos, an 18-piece collective headed by a heavyweight roster that includes Blues Brothers alum Lou Marini and producer John Leventhal. Oh, and he plays a mean ukulele.

Marykate O’Neil

Multi-media artist, Marykate O’Neil, has released six albums, a few cassettes, and a couple of .45’s. Her music has been played on the radio, internets and has been featured in movies and television. Marykate has performed throughout the U.S. and Europe to big festival crowds and to empty seats in darkened basements. Her paintings are exhibited throughout NYC’s galleries and are held in private and University collections.
Marykate’s music has been described as — Elvis Costello meets Astrud Gilberto; a female George Harrison; a happy Aimee Mann; a folk Bjork; a Capote-esque storyteller; and most frequently like herself. The Boston Globe might have said it best (or at least the funniest) when they said: “O’Neil’s literate lyrics feature the sort of off-kilter insights Emily Dickinson might make if alive today. After listening to commercial radio, hearing O’Neil sing is like reading Sylvia Path’s brutally honest poetry in the wake of watching “American Idol”.
​
Tracy Bonham

Tracy Bonham is a twice GRAMMY™ nominated singer-songwriter who had trained as a classical violinist and pianist from an early age. Bonham rose to fame in 1996 with her unique style of quirky songwriting and unrefined guitar playing. Her debut album, The Burdens of Being Upright (Island Records), achieved Gold status in the US, Australia, and Canada and cast Bonham into the global spotlight with buzz-clip status on MTV and heavy rotation radio airplay with her #1 alternative chart-topping song “Mother Mother”, an anthem for disgruntled teenagers of all ages.
In June of 2025, Bonham released her 8th full length album, Sky Too Wide, to much critical acclaim. This new album has her reaching back to what made her fall in love with music in the first place as a young musician growing up in Eugene, OR. Using rich textures, harmonies, and themes from her favorite composers (Debussy, Ravel, Chopin) she weaves in her humorous and quirky songwriting style to make a powerful album that serves as a purifying process and a vehicle for her inner transformation. The songs are deeply personal and universal at the same time as she processes real-life accounts of marital breakdown, isolation, loneliness, and finding oneself in the rubble of a life now reclaimed.
In 2026 Bonham will release an album in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of her debut, The Burdens of Being Upright, this time arranged for strings (working title 30 Years of Burdens: Strung Out) with upcoming shows and tours in the US and beyond.

Johathan Coulton

Jonathan Coulton is a singer-songwriter and cult favorite known for witty, emotionally resonant songs that bridge geek culture, storytelling, and pop craftsmanship. A former software coder, he found his creative calling in the early 2000s, inspired by the rise of Creative Commons and the DIY possibilities of the internet. In 2005, he quit his day job and launched Thing-A-Week, releasing a new song every week and building a devoted online audience that helped redefine how independent musicians connect with fans.
Blending humor and heart, Coulton’s songs often explore big ideas through offbeat characters—resentful teen nerds, lonely supervillains, even singing shop vacs—while touching on deeper themes of identity, connection, and technology. Over the years, he’s evolved from acoustic storyteller to ambitious conceptualist, collaborating with artists like John Flansburgh (Artificial Heart) and experimenting with new sonic landscapes.
His concept album Solid State (with a companion graphic novel by Matt Fraction and Albert Monteys) is a meditation on how the internet has transformed from utopian promise to digital dystopia. Mixing rock-opera ambition with electronic experimentation, it explores themes of surveillance, identity, connection, and apocalypse—told from both human and machine perspectives. Songs like “All This Time,” “Brave,” and “Don’t Feed the Trolls” probe our fractured online culture, while “Ball and Chain” and “Tattoo” tackle intimacy and permanence in a changing world.
Coulton continues to push the boundaries of songwriting, using humor, empathy, and sharp observation to illuminate the complicated relationships between technology, humanity, and hope.

James Mastro – guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and acclaimed singer-songwriter – has toured the world with rock and pop icons including Patti Smith, Ian Hunter, Judy Collins, John Cale, The Jayhawks, Alejandro Escovedo, Garland Jeffreys, and Jesse Malin, even serving as musical director for Robert Plant. Known for his inventive, emotive playing — channeling the spirit of David Bowie and Mick Ronson — Mastro steps firmly into the spotlight with his MPress Records release, Dawn of a New Error.
The album’s 10 tracks balance twangy Americana with art-rock edge, showcasing Mastro’s sharp songwriting, textural guitar work, and hook-filled melodies. Produced by Tony Shanahan and mixed by Grammy nominee James Frazee, the record features appearances by Ian Hunter and a lineup of powerhouse drummers. Highlights include the anthemic opener “Right Words, Wrong Song,” the introspective “My God,” and the gospel-tinged “Someday Someone Will Turn Your Head Around.”
A fixture of the New York music scene since his teens, Mastro began playing CBGB’s and Max’s Kansas City at 16, joined Richard Lloyd’s band by 17, and later helped launch the Hoboken sound with The Bongos. In the ’90s, he fronted alt-country favorites The Health & Happiness Show before becoming a longtime collaborator with Ian Hunter and contributing to projects by Jill Sobule, Phoebe Snow, and The Feelies.
Dawn of a New Error affirms Mastro’s place as one of America’s most versatile and passionate rock artists — a lifelong fan who never stopped sneaking onto the stage.

Big Benny Bailey

Big Benny Bailey is Ben Pierce and Shamir Bailey. They met in a vegan diner in 2016, though neither is vegan. Formed and based in South Philadelphia, they joined forces after a shared feeling of ennui around modern music. Both Benny and Bailey collectively served time in bands that relied on drum kits and guitar amps, and the two were desperate to simplify. Big Benny Bailey became a vehicle for the duo to unplug, unwind, and connect to music at its purest form. Together, the two crafted an organic sound with traces of bluegrass, folk, and country.

Laura Mann

Laura Mann has seen the music business from both sides of the stage. As a singer-songwriter who has also been the owner/curator of an award-winning live music venue, she has managed to maintain the delicate balance between artist and entrepreneur by holding steadfast to one idea: It’s all about the music.
Born to a musical family in Syracuse, NY, Laura was reading music and playing guitar by the age of eight, and after moving to New Jersey, she had already begun appearing in her first professional bands as a teenager. It was at that time that she decided she wanted to focus on building a solo career and started writing, recording, and performing her own songs.

In her development as an artist, Laura has worked closely with seasoned musical professionals such as Robert Hazard, Eric Bazilian, and Dan Navarro to hone her craft and establish her career as a singer-songwriter. Her collaborations in the studio with industry heavy-hitters like Phil Nicolo, Charlton Pettus, Vernon Reid, Mitch Goldfarb, and Scot Sax have resulted in the successful release of multiple albums and singles.
In her onstage career, Laura has appeared on TV talent show Star Search, the SXSW Festival, and NPR’s Mountain Stage, and has shared the stage with music legends Warren Zevon, Dave Mason and Ronnie Spector.
In 2018, she threw her hat into the ring as an entrepreneur, opening her first live music venue, The Living Room, in the Philadelphia suburb of Ardmore, PA. From its inception, The Living Room was embraced by artists and audiences alike as a premier Philadelphia-area venue, awarded Philadelphia Magazine’s “Best of Philly” award for Best Small Music Venue in 2019 and Main Line Today magazine’s award for “Best of the Main Line and Western Suburbs” award for Unique Live Music Venue in 2020. In 2022, The Living Room relocated and expanded its reach, with increased seating to accommodate national touring acts and the addition of the Cricket Cafe, featuring Laura’s famous homemade cakes and desserts.
After six years of operating The Living Room, Laura missed having the time to write and perform her own music, and spend more time with family and loved ones. Since closing The Living Room in late April 2024, she has been traveling across the country with her dogs Coco and Casey, and spending time in southern California writing and recording new material with longtime collaborators Dan Navarro and Charlton Pettus, among others. She will return to Ardmore in April 2025 to headline a show there that will also feature some special and surprise guests.
Whether onstage or offstage, as a singer-songwriter, recording artist, presenter, live performer or entrepreneur, through it all Laura Mann has maintained one constant: It’s all about the music.
Laura Mann’s music can be found on iTunes, Amazon and anywhere that music is streamed.
