Come join us for Joint Jam at Putnam Place, featuring performances by Howling Giant, High Desert Queen, Gozer, Sly Fox and The Hustlers, Black Tongue Reverend, Insomniac, Anomalous, Jupiter Queen, and Ike & Meatplow.
Howling Giant
Nashville’s Howling Giant has nothing to prove. Music City’s preeminent heavy jamming psych-wizards formed more than a decade ago, and have been on an enviously productive upswing ever since. With four EPs, a split, and two full-length albums under their belts, not to mention a relentless touring ethos that finds them spreading the gospel of the riff far and wide, Howling Giant can transfix you with a gorgeous, harmony-laden vocal hook while hitting you square in the gut with the snaking, progressive groove you never saw coming.
High Desert Queen
High Desert Queen has begun making "waves" on the live music scene with their high energy performance and their unique "Texas Desert Rock" sound. After releasing just one song and only a handful of live shows, the band was contacted by Blasko (A&R of Ripple Music, Bassist for Ozzy, Rob Zombie, Zakk Sabbath) and was quickly signed to Ripple Music. Their debut album titled "Secrets of the Black Moon" was released on Oct. 15th, 2021 to high acclaim.
HDQ's much anticipated sophomore release "Palm Reader" was released May 31st, 2024 on Magnetic Eye Records. Order it now from our merch store!
Insomniac
INSOMNIAC coalesce onto our plane like a third eye opening into the beyond. A bouncing ball on the rhythm of the universe. An aural guide past the edges of perception.
The band took form in Atlanta, Georgia, like-minded explorers of sound and mind writing songs in the frequency of the earth. Featuring members of Deceased, Brass Knuckle Surfer, and The Buzzards of Fuzz, the outfit’s transcendent, mind-expanding psychedelic heaviness casts light on the magic and strange beauty, balanced between unconsciousness and dreams.
Out now via Blues Funeral Recordings, the band’s debut record, “OM MOKSHA RITAM” or “Liberation through merging with the Universal Rhythm”, is a concept album guiding the listener through an aural and spiritual journey across multiple extreme environments that test their resolve, principles, and commitment to adhering to the path.
Gozer
Gozer deals in gritty, modern desert and hard rock with a penchant for bulldozer riffs and hooks you can hang a ten-gallon hat on. Hailing from Albany, New York, the quartet self-released their debut album “The Far Realm” in 2023 to widespread acclaim and landed the #29 spot on the vaunted Doom Charts. Their 2nd full length album is anticipated to drop at the end of 2026.
Black Tongue Reverend
Black Tongue Reverend is a sludgey psychedelic stoner-blues trio from the Capital Region of New York.
Anomolous
Five-piece metal band from Upstate NY, is pushing the boundaries of music with their unique blend of rock, metal, and doom influences. By embracing their creativity and refusing to be limited, they're creating a sound that's truly innovative and inspiring. Their debut single IZANAMI is now available on most streaming platforms.
Jupiter Queen
Emerging from the ashes of the band Black Belt Jones, Jupiter Queen underwent several lineup changes before solidifying their current roster. Musically, they achieve a high-energy stoner rock sound, with an early-Black-Sabbath-mixed-with-a-Queens-of-the-Stone-Age feel. The band’s chemistry flows so well together that it creates the impression they have been performing together for a significantly longer period than expected.
Ike & Meatplow
Ike's Wasted World joins forces with NJ based Meatplow to form a blend between high energy hard rock and heavy stoner blues.
