Blending heartfelt songwriting, high-energy rock, and seasoned New England roots, Triple Stack delivers a dynamic, genre-spanning show that highlights the depth and camaraderie of the Northeast music scene.

About Sneaky Miles 

Sneaky Miles is an indie folk band formed in the fall of 2019. Originally a trio—Kevin O’Brien, Patrick Fitzgibbons, and Jake Gagne—the band found each other through open mic nights at the University of New Hampshire. Since forming, Sneaky Miles has quickly become a local powerhouse in the New Hampshire Seacoast music scene. 

While the band began as a stripped-down trio, Sneaky Miles has since expanded their live sound by teaming up with additional members on drums, bass, and pedal steel. The result is a high-energy performance and a sound that feels bigger than the sum of its parts, blending heartfelt storytelling with driving folk-rock arrangements. 

Their latest album, Cowboys, Songbirds, and Other Tales of Sorrow (2024), showcases the band’s growth both sonically and lyrically, cementing their place in the modern indie folk landscape. 

Sneaky Miles has shared the stage with The Backseat Lovers, Trampled by Turtles, Coyote Island, Dr. Dog, Will Evans, Wheatus, Rayland Baxter, Wild Rivers, and The Deslondes. Notable performances include Borderland Festival (2025), Leavitt Festival (2025), and they’ve played the BNHP “Little Hazy” B Stage before Caamp and The Lumineers (2022). 

For fans of Caamp, Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, and The Head and the Heart, Sneaky Miles delivers a sound rooted in community, connection, and cathartic live shows.

About Jon Nolan

Jon Nolan is a New England songwriter and founding member of Americana stalwarts Say ZuZu (Strolling Bones/New West Records). With his latest project, Slow Cooker (out September 2025), Nolan turns inward—crafting vivid, lived-in songs about small-town moments, connection, and the quiet beauty of everyday life. Backed by his band, Jon Nolan & Good Co., he blends folk warmth, pop shimmer, and country grit into something timeless and inviting. The result feels less like a performance and more like an open door.

About The Speed of Sound

The Speed of Sound is a brand-new Maine-based band that blends sharp musicianship, melodic sensibilities, and a love for timeless songwriting. Fronted by Spencer Albee on lead vocals, vintage keyboards, and rhythm guitar, the group features Zachary Bence (lead guitar, background vocals), Owen Markowitz (drums, background vocals), and Caleb Sweet (bass, background vocals).

Rolling Stone once wrote, “There’s no shame in being a Fab Four disciple — Electric Light Orchestra, Oasis, and Squeeze made careers of it — and Spencer Albee is a 21st century master in the lost art of Beatlesesque hooks.” That melodic mastery is at the heart of The Speed of Sound.

Albee’s career has spanned international tours, multiple major recording and publishing contracts, and collaborations with icons like David Bowie, Amy Allen, De La Soul, John Stirratt (Wilco, The Autumn Defense), Louisa Stancioff, and The Ghost of Paul Revere. Guitarist Zachary Bence, a William Paterson University jazz alum, has recorded with a range of acclaimed artists including Griffin William Sherry and Louisa Stancioff. Drummer Owen Markowitz draws on a rich background in jazz and improvisation, influenced by legends such as Tony Williams, Max Roach, Philly Joe Jones, and Nate Smith. Bassist Caleb Sweet, a Berklee College of Music graduate, and seasoned road musician after touring with The Wolff Sisters, Chris Ross and The North, and more over the past decade.

The Speed of Sound is an indie band with a hankering for Wonder, Hendrix, Little Feat, McCartney, The Meters, Hancock, Bowie, Zevon, 90s hip hop, and Detroit-era Motown.
