Our own Kris Hansen is back with another show! Previously, Kris served as our Pump House Manager for several years, and you may remember him as the "Tall Blonde Viking" from many of our events. He is also an award-winning songwriter who has made a name for himself in the New England, Rhode Island, and Providence music scene. Kris has curated his dream show featuring some of his favorite Rhode Island songwriters for our enjoyment. He expressed disbelief at being able to gather such talented performers.
**Kris Hansen** He writes and sings from personal experience, offering honesty, hope, optimism, and a glimpse into who he is as a person. His stage banter is always engaging and inviting for the audience.
**King Sickabilly**, also known as **Sasquatch** or **David Podsnap**, the owner of The Galactic Theatre in Warren, RI. With nearly three decades of experience entertaining concertgoers, he has toured the country and is celebrated everywhere. Often seen as the "man in black," he embodies the spirit of an outlaw poet of our generation. In the 50s and 60s, his talents would have been considered godlike. Outspoken and unapologetic, he serves as a friendly reminder that this is entertainment.
**Stev DelMonico** hails from the bands "The Quahogs" and "Winona 92." A touring professional with deep ties to the music scene, he embodies unassuming intensity, like "lightning in a honey jar." A modern-day troubadour, Stev has much to say and no qualms about delivering it. He embodies the spirit of an outlaw with a truly great soundtrack.
**Haunt the House**, (Will Houlihan)
"...This is the kind of music that the genre tag of Americana was custom-made for."--Robert Ham, Paste Magazine
"Spooky, powerful, and affecting." --Brian Carroll, Redline Roots
**Olivia Charlotte** of Undercover Cameo —Undercover Cameo is the multi-generational folk collective
**Becca Neveu** is a fierce singer and songwriter in the New England music scene. She has composed songs across various genres, and her moving music has garnered her widespread recognition among her peers.
Doors will open at 4 PM, and we will be grilling and feeding everyone. This is a no-cover event, with a suggested donation of $10 for the house. While it is not mandatory, we kindly request your support. The musicians have generously donated their time to The Pump House, and your contributions are essential!
