Gooseberry w/ The Rock Dwellers

Mon 9/1

6pm doors/7pm show

All Ages | $15 adv./$18 day of


Brooklyn-based trio Gooseberry, formed in 2019, melds alternative rock, indie, and blues to craft their distinctive sound. Comprising Asa Daniels (guitar, vocals), Evin Rossington (drums), and Will Hammond (bass), the band has racked up millions of streams and has garnered praise from editorial stalwarts Galore, Under the Radar, and more. They've become integral to NYC's music scene, headlining venues like Bowery Ballroom, as well as supporting notable touring acts such as Ringo Starr, BabyJake, and Tanner Usrey.

In September 2024, Gooseberry released their debut full-length album, All My Friends Are Cattle. They delivered the first taste of the LP in the form of gritty alt-rock single "Kikiyon". The album was tracked over the course of three months, predominantly at Precision Sound Studios in New York City. Drums were recorded by Grammy-winner James ‘Jimmy T’ Meslin (Dream Theater, John Petrucci, Rush). Grammy-nominated engineer Colin Bryson (Zach Bryan, J Balvin, Willow Avalon) served as producer and recording engineer (reprising his role from the Validate Me EP). Grammy-winner Phil Joly (The Strokes, Lana Del Rey, Daft Punk) mixed the record, and Jennica Best (Colatura) mastered it. Honorary fourth member Dan Janis (Baked Goods) provided saxophone and flute for a handful of tunes. The record has already been streamed 1.5M+ times and counting.

This debut full-length record represents Gooseberry's most ambitious project yet, showcasing the expansive distance they cover, from punch-you-in-the-mouth punk rock to lyrically-driven singer-songwriter to atmospheric prog rock. Glide declared the “Gooseberry is positioned to have a significant role in the modern rock scene.” Though powered by heavy 90s alternative influences, this LP showcases what Gooseberry can be: an exciting amalgamation of many genres and sounds, taking the listener on a journey that never once leaves the ear tired and consistently keeps the mind guessing where they will head next.


Long ago, atop a Rock in the woods, sat a community of friends and fools. As the community molded and grew, the form it took began to expand—from garages to basements to stages to headphones. The sounds it made shook the land, knocking laces from shoes and fear from minds. Soon the sounds left the outskirts, venturing far off into the world; toppling trees, rippling waters, and melting bullets into flowers. That community of which all was borne, was The Rock Dwellers! A four-piece rock group playing original jams, moshable tones, and some covers you can sing your heart out to.

Our motto is our livelihood-- "We have fun."
