Event Description
It’s a frigid winter evening...you’re walking past the Shea, which usually lays her head to rest on Sunday evenings...but not tonight! The lobby is transformed into a warm cocoon of a performance space and the light glows from the windows illuminating the crowned jewel of Turners Falls! You walk inside and are greeted by your dearest friends who have also found themselves here...The Lobby Tapes Listening Series welcomes you to the cozy and intimate lobby where once a month we will highlight the performances of local folk, roots, and Americana inspired musicians. This series will be recorded live and available for retroactive listening. Come one, come all to drink local brews, banter with your favorite bartender, be merry, and support those doing what they love. This is not a night to miss and there are limited seats so get your tickets now and #gettotheshea
THIS MONTH FEATURES
EMMA JUNE BAND
EMMA JUNE BAND sings about the ways in which we build ourselves into empty factories of potential productivity & transform ourselves into lonely machines, like a dog howling at something you can't see but makes you bristle regardless. LISTEN: https://emmajunemusic.bandcamp.com

IZZY HELTAI
Izzy Heltai is an indie-folk singer-songwriter who puts a unique twist on traditional story-telling. Based out of Northampton, Massachusetts, Izzy’s songs reference specific images while simultaneously addressing broader universal truths, often inspired by the natural beauty of Western massachusetts."A voice that is equal parts gruff, sandpapered scratches, unfiltered and open just enough to let the story out and smooth” says redline roots, Izzy’s songs are unmistakably his own, with a strong emphasis on the nuanced dynamics of his voice. With complex melodies and playful wordplay, Izzy’s work sounds unlike anything you’ve heard before but is still guaranteed to get stuck in your head. As a solo artist who spends the majority of his time on the road, Izzy’s songs often reflect the joys of a semi nomadic lifestyle – dealing with topics of impermanence, loneliness, love and its many manifestations, and what it means to find “home” outside of a permanent residence. At 22-years-old, Izzy has already garnered a local loyal following in the New England Area. His debut EP “Sweet Apathy” was accompanied by a sold-out release show at the Historic Club Passim in Cambridge, MA, in January 2018, and Izzy continues to play other esteemed venues in the area, including Mass Moca, The Dreamaway Lodge and the Parlor room. He was also a recipient of a 2019 Club Passim Iguana Fund Grant for his forthcoming record. In the summer of 2018, Izzy was named a finalist in Kerville Folk Festival’s New Folk Songwriting competition in Kerville, TX, and in 2017 was included in Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s Grassy Hill Emerging Artist Showcase in Hillsdale, NY. He has performed at both regionally and nationally acclaimed festivals such as Ossipee Valley Music Festival in Cornish, ME and Freshgrass Bluegrass Festival at Mass MoCa in North Adams, MA, three years in a row.
