MALLETT BROTHERS BAND, National touring act, MAINE, U.S.A., melding modern Americana with Rock n Roll. Full of high energies, and musicianship to boot! FEATURING special guests J. MICHAEL & THE HEAVY BURDEN. This is going to a barn burner. $10 presale tickets. $15 at the Door, 21+ Entry. The Mallett Brothers Band is an independent rock and roll / Americana / country band from Maine. Their busy tour schedule since forming in 2009 has helped them to build a dedicated fanbase across the U.S. and beyond while still calling the state of Maine their home. With a style that ranges from alt-country to Americana, country, jam and roots rock, theirs is a musical melting pot that's influenced equally by the singer/songwriter tradition as by harder rock, classic country and psychedelic sounds.

$10 Presale, $15 @ door; 21+ Entry
