Moon Walker with Waitress

Monday, May 12 - Doors 7pm - $20 adv. - All Ages

Harry Springer may compose, produce and perform all of Moon Walker's music in his bedroom, but the electrifying and uniquely eclectic sound undeniably feels more fitting for a stadium. When Springer formed Moon Walker at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, he was merely looking for a way to pass time and make some extra money selling songs to music libraries. "I sold some, and it was going fine, but then I wrote some songs, and I was like, 'I really don't want to give these ones away." Those songs that Springer just couldn't part with ended up becoming his critically acclaimed debut record Truth to Power. Thanks to sudden viral success on TikTok and praise from the likes of The Darkness's Justin Hawkins, the 7-track album quickly established Moon Walker as one of rock's most promising acts. Less than a year later, Springer released with his sophomore effort The Attack of Mirrors with great fanfare and coverage, resulting in 25 million streams across platforms in 2022. In 2023, Moon Walker continued the hot streak; signing to a co-publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and Limited Edition Publishing, releasing his third album "Apocalypticism" on October 20th, and going out on his first tour playing shows across the country with sellouts in Chicago, Nashville, Denver, and Columbus.

Waitress is the freakadelic invention of LA based multi-instrumentalist and producer Kennedy James McClendon. Drawing inspiration from musical mavericks like Frank Zappa and Danny Elfman, McClendon's compositions oscillate between sounds like funk-rap, gritty post-punk, Spanish war cry, and dark cabaret. After releasing their first single in 2024, Waitress quickly gained attention, cultivating a loyal fanbase and racking up over a million streams. Live, Waitress expands into a dynamic quartet, with Sam Knapp on bass, Gabriella Devine on drums, and Kameron Salek on piano, creating an energetic and unpredictable stage presence that mirrors the eclectic nature of their music. Fresh on the scene, Waitress has become one of weird rock's most strange and promising acts.
