Howdy Gals sixth anniversary w/ Sarah & the Sundays, Good Looks, TC Superstar, Glaze, Redbud, Madison Baker, Farmer's Wife, Indoor Creature, Radley O'Brien [outside]
In December 2017, the women- and nonbinary-led booking group Howdy Gals puts on its first show ever. Six years and countless gigs later, they’re celebrating with a Mohawk birthday blowout featuring vendors, a raffle, and bands across both the venue’s stages. Nationally regarded West Hartford, Conn., transplants Sarah and the Sundays headline the festivities with their breezy indie surf rock. Other highlights include uplifting heartland rockers Good Looks, synth-dance flash mob TC Superstar, wonky retro-poppers Redbud, shuttling shoegazers Glaze, and Tim O’Brien (bandleader for experimental Philly-via-Austin act Blood). Indoor Creature, Madison Baker, and Farmer’s Daughter round out the bill.
