Come join us for Joint Jam at Putnam Place, featuring performances by Howling Giant, Faerie Ring, Gozer, Sly Fox and The Hustlers, Black Tongue Reverend, Insomniac, Joe Mansman & The Midnight Revival Band, 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.
Faerie Ring
Faerie Ring is a hard-rocking, retro-tinged stoner-rock and doom band from Evansville, Indiana, known for heavy riffs, tight songwriting, and a raw, analog recording style.
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.
Joe Mansman & The Midnight Revival Band
Albany New York’s Joe Mansman and The Midnight Revival Band are a blistering display of dangerously skilled rock and rollers. Where few bands still don the mantle, these renegades carry the torch, combining attitude, swagger, colossal guitar solos, and boisterous lyrics into a crucible of sleaze rock, glam rock, southern rock, and heavy metal.
Helmed by the group’s eponymous frontman the self proclaimed “wayward son” has been torching audiences since 2014 with a haughty and distinguished charisma that demands the attention of the room, leading them to share sold out stages across the US alongside Hinder, Jackyl, Warrant, Dokken, Quiet Riot, Thrice, Texas Hippie Coalition, Scott Stapp and many more renowned acts in hard rock.
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.
