Step into the evocative world of Big Lazy, the NYC-based instrumental trio led by composer and guitarist Stephen Ulrich. With a stripped-down lineup of electric guitar, upright bass, and drums, Big Lazy crafts richly cinematic soundscapes that blend noir, surf, jazz, blues, and rockabilly into something entirely their own.

Known for scoring HBO’s Bored to Death and the acclaimed documentary Art and Craft, Ulrich leads the band with a guitar style that is moody, atmospheric, and unmistakably original. Whether evoking smoky back rooms or wide open highways, Big Lazy delivers a performance that feels like the soundtrack to an unwritten film.

Grammy-nominated and twice-inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, Professor Louie & The Crowmatix bring their legendary Woodstock sound to Godfrey Daniels. Led by Aaron “Professor Louie” Hurwitz—producer and collaborator for The Band—the group delivers a powerhouse mix of Rock, Blues, Gospel, and Americana. With 17 acclaimed albums, unforgettable performances, and deep roots in American music history, their shows connect audiences through stories, musicianship, and a spirit that’s equal parts jam and tradition. Don’t miss this night of pure, roots-driven energy in an intimate listening room setting.
