🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

We've got a new artist announcement for you...

That's right, Lemoncello will be joining us at The Pepper Canister on January 24th 🥳

It’s hard not to feel seen by Lemoncello, a band whose live performances and recordings shimmer with the tones of modern Ireland. Through an intimate and devastatingly personal style of storytelling, their new album reflects upon the the modern tension between togetherness and alienation & the chaos of human nature with radical acceptance and compassion.
