THEME: "SURRENDER"
For example, we may be surrendering to the fact that people could be a bit burnt out after Millvale Music Fest this weekend, but then they may in turn surrender to their desire to see even more awesome music and comedy happen.
GIBSON MUSISKO leads the band PosterChild which is playing at the AcoustiCafe Showcase in the new Sanctuary at Mr Smalls (church across the street from Smalls) at 3pm on Saturday May 17!
EVAN PIESIK is featuring for the first time and I'm kind of enjoying the fact that the host and feature have the two most commonly mispronounced last names of all our performers 🙂 (it's muh-sisko and pee-zick!)
Acousticafe Show Details:
Doors open downstairs in Mr Smalls Café at 5pm for check-in.
Time-slots are chosen at 6:30pm.
Open stage begins at 7pm and runs until 11pm.
Full sound and light system with backline (drums, keys, guitar + bass amp) available, and a house band to back you up if you want!

Super City X The Tisburys
With Special Guests: The Zells, Ethan Beck & The Charlie Browns

The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale,

Will it all just stay the same?” asks songwriter Tyler Asay on “Forever”, the first single from The Tisburys’ new album, A Still Life Revisited. Recorded at Dr. Dog’s Mt. Slippery studio in the suburbs of Philadelphia with their longtime engineer/producer Justin Nazario, A Still Life Revisited is The Tisburys’ most collaborative effort to date. In an era where “bands” are seen as one individual, this is truly a “band record” with every member contributing songwriting and production ideas (especially from longtime lead guitarist John Domenico and keyboardist/co-producer Jason McGovern). “The goal with this record was ‘everything in its right place” says Asay. “Every instrument is playing its part and every song came together like a puzzle”. While their last album (2022’s Exile On Main Street) channeled 90s radio rock such as Gin Blossoms and The Replacements, A Still Life Revisited pushes into the aughts with the rustic bombast of millennial indie such as Frightened Rabbit and The Hold Steady. With themes that tackle memory & chosen family, A Still Life Revisited overflows with songs that find home in both packed dive bars and stadiums. It’s about looking back at your life, the choices and decisions you’ve made, and celebrating where you ended up today. The album was mixed by Phil Joly (The Strokes, Daft Punk, Lana Del Rey), mastered by Ryan Schwabe (Beach Bunny, Slaughter Beach Dog, Hop Along).
& Super City's: Melodic and guitar driven, Super City is known for their hooky pop sound that blends heavy rock elements and danceability, all with coordinated band choreography that results in killer live performances. This Baltimore band expertly crafts guitar and synth earworms that thrive on the creative tension between bombastic rock and roll and stylized movements. Their structures and melodies leave no room for a dull track. At times soothing and inviting, at times posturing and timeless, Dan Ryan and Greg Wellham vocally guide this pop band into a new, heavy and beguiling territory that is both memorable and brash. Super City is Dan Ryan (lead vocals, guitar) Greg Wellham, (lead vocals guitar), Brian Brunsman (bass, vocals), Jon Birkholz (guitar, keys, vocals), and Ian Viera (drums & vocals).

Alison's Halo was formed in Tempe, Arizona during the fall of 1992 by Catherine Cooper (Vocals/Guitar), Adam Cooper (Guitar), David Rogers (Bass/vocals) and Roger Brogan (Drums/Percussion). Within months of formation the band burst onto the local scene and immediately began securing shows with national acts (The Verve, Ultra Vivid Scene, Curve, The Boo Radleys, Stereophonics, Medicine, Lovesliescrushing, Bailter Space and many others) as well as being invited to perform at numerous music festivals around the country.
The Dozen/Calendar single was released by the legendary Independent Project Records in 1995 to wonderful national reviews and extensive college radio airplay. The single's beautiful blend of chiming guitar noise and Catherine's breathtaking melodies perked many an ear and led to the band loading up the van and heading out for a successful string of tour dates around the country.
Their debut full-length, Eyedazzler, was recorded to various 2, 4, & 8 porta-studio cassettes from 1992-1996 and released on Detroit's Burnt Hair Records in 1998. This stunning collection of songs has only grown in popularity since its original release and has been ranked among the top shoegaze and dreampop records from the golden eras of both genres.

• Collectible tour poster, signed by Satsang
• Commemorative pre-show tour laminate

Satsang was founded by Montana-based musician Drew McManus in 2014. Known for their heartfelt, genre-blending sound, Satsang merges elements of folk, hip-hop, reggae, and rock, infusing each song with introspective lyrics and a strong message of positivity, spirituality, and social awareness. The name "Satsang" reflects the band's mission, derived from the Sanskrit words for "truth" (sat) and "company" (sang), symbolizing gatherings aimed at seeking and sharing deeper truths.
The band's music often draws from McManus's own journey of self-discovery, healing, and connection to nature, as well as his experiences with addiction and recovery. With soulful vocals, acoustic melodies, and rhythmic versatility, Satsang creates a powerful atmosphere in both their recordings and live performances. They have built a dedicated following through their relatable messages about love, unity, and resilience, as well as their active support for social and environmental causes.
Over the years, Satsang has released several albums, each resonating with themes of hope, introspection, and community. Their live shows are particularly celebrated for creating a space that feels like a “satsang”—a gathering for connection and upliftment— where fans can come together to share in a collective experience of music, inspiration, and truth-seeking.

ARTIST PRESALE -- Wednesday, May 14 @ 10am to Thursday, May 15 @ 10am (code required!)
GENERAL ON-SALE -- Friday, May 16 @ 10am
Yuno’s full-length debut, Blest, out May 16 on Sub Pop, finds the enigmatic indie-pop visionary transforming the emo-tinged suburban malaise of his 2018 Moodie EP into more expansive, widescreen pop drama — suited for big moves and bigger stages. The kaleidoscopic sound he devised as a millennial hermit in his childhood bedroom in Florida has since broadened his horizons, taking him on tour with Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Superorganism, and soundtracking various series for Netflix and HBO. Imbued with elements of dream-pop, rock, trap, and psychedelia, his eclectic songs serve as bids for love and connection, which especially in the fractured era of social media, have resonated with many listeners who find solace in his vulnerability.

The Dangerous Summer
Saturday, August 16, 2025
Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale,
PA
The Dangerous Summer signed their first record deal as high school seniors and quickly established themselves among the alt-rock world’s elite. Passionate delivery, confessional authenticity, and deeply resonant musical storytelling define their sound. The band writes hooks that serve as soundtracks for important life moments for a diverse group of listeners spread across the globe. The audience is more family than a fanbase. The community feeling is apparent at every gig, from Slam Dunk to Riot Fest, from touring with State Champs to headlining shows. Reach for the Sun is the record that “shot them into the pop-punk pantheon” (Kerrang!). Powered by unshakeable, enduring alt-rock anthems, the Ellicott City, Maryland band’s debut album made them heroes of the Warped Tour world, all while they carved their own unique path. 2011’s War Paint was a sophomore-slump-smashing follow-up. Grantland likened the “tall and wide” riffs of 2013’s Golden Record to The Hold Steady and U2. (“Catholic Girls” even earned The Danger Summer praise from the famously discerning Pitchfork.) Alternative Press saluted The Dangerous Summer as a group that stayed true to their sound, praising the songs on their 2018 self-titled comeback album as equal parts charismatic and addictive. 2019’s Mother Nature conjured an emotional storm, with an uplifting bent. Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie appeared on the 2020 EP, All That Is Left Of The Blue Sky. Produced by Will Beasley (Turnstile, Asking Alexandria), 2022’s Coming Home ushers in a new era for TDS. The Dangerous Summer never sacrificed their unique, diverse sonic identity, one that appeals to fans of everything from Kings Of Leon and Coldplay to Jimmy Eat World and Bright Eyes. Coming Home is a triumphant summary of what The Dangerous Summer is all about, past, present, and future.

Will Varley
Tuesday, November 11, 2025
Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale,
PA
Currently working on his seventh studio record, Will Varley has mastered the kind of songwriting that can transport you to another place entirely. In the case of his astonishing new album, he continues his decade long exploration of the human condition, while conjuring strange, beautiful landscapes where salt-crusted pebbles crunch underfoot and snow pours in through the roofs of abandoned tour buses. These songs are rich, lyrical tales that speak of universal truths, hard touring, and the rebuilding of minds.
Over the last ten years Varley has earned the adoration of some of his most well known peers. Support from the likes of Billy Bragg, The Libertines, Adam Duritz and Frank Turner have helped spread Will’s music far and wide. His catalogue has clocked up over fifty million streams across Spotify and Apple music and as writer and producer he has worked with platinum selling, CMA award winning and Grammy award winning artists.
Since his earliest days playing candle lit open mics in south London aged just 14, he has gone on to sell out headline shows across Europe and the US – performing on some of the world's most prestigious stages along the way such as The Royal Albert Hall and Glastonbury Festival. In 2024 Will signed a worldwide record deal with MNRK Music Group, home to The Lumineers, Mt. Joy and Gregory Alan Isakov. His new album is slated for release in Spring 2025.
