JUST ANNOUNCED - Bermuda Search Party Atlantic Adieu Tour wsg Miki Fiki Fri. Sept. 11th.
Bermuda Search Party is moving away! This is their last place in the area for the foreseeable future.

(Boston, MA) Since their inception in early 2018, Bermuda Search Party (formerly known as The Q-Tip Bandits) have emerged into the Boston music scene as an energetic and vibrant act that continues to touch audience’s hearts while getting them up on their feet. Their smooth yet powerful sound is backed by the raw energy of rock and the coolness and colors of R&B and funk — with palpable grooves coated with savory, soul-inspired riffs, anthemic horns and meaningful lyrics.
The band toured in support of the record throughout the year, culminating in four Boston Music Awards nominations, for Live and Pop Act of the Year, Song of the Year for “Daisy,” and Album of the Year. In 2023, the band played stages across the country, touring the South and the Midwest and hitting festivals along the way including SXSW, Levitate Music Festival, and Boston Calling.

Miki Fiki is the indie-pop project of Midwest transplant Ted Hartog, founded in 2017 in a ranch-style house in Nashville. From their breakout track “The First Time” to their debut album Dumb Baby, Miki Fiki blends the laid-back groove of Still Woozy with the indie-funk polish of Parcels. R&B and bedroom-pop instrumentals intertwine with bittersweet, nostalgic verses and expansive harmonies, creating a sonic landscape Lightning 100 calls “indie-pop brilliance.” Years of relentless touring have both grown and shaped Miki Fiki’s sound, taking it from sweaty college house shows in Mobile, AL to sold-out rooms across the country.

SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT - Melodramatic with Alexa Jenson and The Abstratica Thur. Jun. 18th.

Melodramatic
Melodramatic is the stage name and project of North Carolina songwriter Tyler Spencer, whose music blurs the lines between indie rock, folk, and experimental pop -- inspired by artists like Alex G, MJ Lenderman, and Neil Young. What began as a bedroom recording outlet has grown into a full band rooted in the Southeast DIY scene, shaped by years of playing shows across NC and the surrounding region.

Alexa Jenson
From an early age, Alexa Jenson was picking out songs on her acoustic guitar in her bedroom. Starting out in open mics, she carved out a space for herself in the Charlotte arts scene. Now, after selling out the clubs she came up in, she’s ready to take on the world.

Armed with a heart full of basement pop sensibility, Alexa brings a unique voice to the indie scene; something that feels wholly influenced by the pitfalls of growing up in an increasingly unforgiving world, but with a fiery spirit that won’t quit. From quieter songs like “Fool in Love” that dissect the discomforts of admiration from afar, to the charged up songs like “Daylight” that exemplify feminine rage.

This modern world is here to stay, and we should all be thankful that Alexa Jenson is here to say what we’re all thinking.

The Abstratica
The Abstratica is an alternative rock band from Charlotte, NC, that blends elements of shoegaze, grunge, and indie rock into their music. The band was started in 2023 as a solo project by Nate Joseph. Since then it has grown into a full band including members Ramen on the drums, Luke Gura on bass and keyboard, as well as Alan Then on guitar. The band began performing live together in 2024 and looks to continue growing their sound and expanding their audience.

JUST ANNOUNCED! Welcome Maris to The Evening Muse on Sun. Oct. 18th. Pre-sales start Mar. 29th and GA tickets go on sale Jun. 1st so mark your calendars!

MARIS is a Los Angeles–based, Montana-born singer/songwriter, emerging as “pop music’s next Mega Star” [Los Angeles Times]. A playful DIY ethos animates her songs, social content, and live shows. Blending heartland rock with glam-pop bombast, MARIS crafts arena-sized, sugar-rush choruses built around elastic vocals and diaristic songwriting.

Her breakout collaboration with Caroline Kingsbury, “Give Me A Sign,” earned praise from PAPER as “anxious and electric,” landed on Spotify’s Best Pop Songs of 2025, and helped fuel her first sold-out headline show at DC9. FLOOD calls “Body Is On Fire” a “cathartic” kickoff to her “vibrant” new phase.

MARIS has performed at Boston Calling alongside Ed Sheeran, Chappell Roan, and Reneé Rapp; placed #4 on Stereogum’s Top Pop Songs of 2025 with “SUPER F★CKING MEGAST★R”; and been included in Spotify’s Fresh Finds Class three times. Elton John featured “Mary + I” on his Rocket Hour radio show, comparing MARIS to both Lady Gaga and Freddie Mercury.

Best experienced live, MARIS ensures audiences feel free to be their happiest, truest selves. She told the Los Angeles Times, “At my show, you’re gonna jump. You’re gonna dance. You’re gonna be involved, whether or not you want to.” She has toured nationally with The Wrecks, Maude Latour, A R I Z O N A, Anna of the North, and Caroline Kingsbury.

She has also been featured in Rolling Stone, LADYGUNN, Ones to Watch, Under the Radar, and Wonderland, Her new single “MOSH★PIT” is out now as the title track from her upcoming EP, arriving September 18.

MARIS is proud to partner with LIFEBEAT, a program of The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, on her upcoming tour. $1 from every ticket sold will benefit the program, and LIFEBEAT will be offering resources on sexual health, harm reduction, and more at select stops.

SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT - Ghais Guevara and Student 1 with Seven Saturdè - Thur. Jul. 30th. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, May 28th.

Ghais Guevara
Not many rappers have performed at enormous venues, punk rock dive bars, and Marxist book stores - introducing: Ghais Guevara. Born and raised in North Philly amidst both guns and gang avoidance tactics, nurtured and educated using generational radical Black leftist thought, Ghais Guevara revels in the juxtapositions and narrative conflicts of his life with standout projects such as There Will Be No Super-Slave and Goyard Ibn Said. Both of which have received critical and cultural recognition from the likes of Vice, NPR, The Needle Drop, and beyond for their witty and compelling lyrical navigations soundtracked by this one-man band’s beatmaking ability.

Student 1
Student 1 is an Ethiopian-Eritrean Minneapolis-based artist whose music blends melody and experimental production to explore his inner and outer worlds and profound topics like addiction, grief, and mental health. Now, he's gearing up to expand his sonic palette with his fourth project, titled truant. In 2022, he shared OFFTHEDUST!, mixed by collaborator, engineer and artist Alex Tumay (Drake, Travis Scott, Metro Boomin, 21 Savage). Known for his versatility, he has amassed millions of global streams and garnered attention from The Current, Star Tribune, and Lyrical Lemonade. Student 1 has performed hundreds of times on stages around the country, including SXSW, Soundset, Afropunk, and First Avenue. Now, the musician prepares to share his most honest work to date alongside a summer-long tour.

JUST ANNOUNCED - The Dead Bolts with Cab Ellis Band Wed. Jul. 29th. Tickets on sale May 29th 10am.

The Dead Bolts - Chicago's raucous, no-frills modern rock outfit — are hitting the road with Cab Ellis, the beating heart of New York City's underground alt-rock revival. Multiple nights. Multiple cities. No polish. No pretense.

The Dead Bolts have been earning it for years, from hour-long sets in corner bars and tours across the country crammed in Vancis, to packing out prestigious venues like Metro, Thalia Hall, and Salt Shed. Their sophomore LP Beau Monde is their loudest statement yet: a nine-track, no-skip record built for stages exactly like these and yet nowhere near as loud as their highly anticipated 3rd LP coming at the end of 2026.

Cab Ellis rolled out of New York the same way — six musicians who couldn't stop themselves from going completely untamed, led by frontman Connor Abeles, a performer whose energy turns a room full of strangers into one anarchic being. Stage diving. Beer-spitting. Split guitar strings. Sold-out nights at Bowery Ballroom. This is what rock and roll is supposed to feel like.

Together, they're bringing the kind of live show that's getting harder to find — raw, loud, real, and absolutely worth the drive.
