Mr. Smalls Presents
Dogwood Tales
Special Guests: Tyler Heaven

The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale,
PA
Purple mountains, empty highways, jet trails as the sun fades; Dogwood Tales paint in valley colors on their forthcoming album, Every Star in Rockingham County. Hailing from Harrisonburg, VA in the heart of Shenandoah, the band is fronted by founders and childhood friends Kyle Grim (guitar/vocals) and Ben Ryan (guitar/vocals), alongside college contemporaries Jake Golibart (drums) and Danny Gibney (bass). With its location in its title, their new album is as much a love letter to the local DIY scene, vast farmlands and surrounding mystical mountains as it is a portrait of present-day small town American life. While tracks like “Mt. Jackson” speak candidly about the experience of songwriter Kyle Grim seeing his once cheerful, tractor-driving uncle hospital bound, it also captures a broader, ever-relatable image of a society drowned in hospital bills and anxieties of what could have been, keeping us at odds with the ever present moment.
Though heavy and personal in its lyrical content, the album was born out of a spirit of naivety and experimentation that breathes lightness and excitement into the music. Pedal steel chords and delicate harmonization between Ryan and Grim — who’ve at this point been singing together half their lives — accompany jamming power pop drumlines by Golibart, tasteful guitar licks and wistful video game soundbites. Whether it’s song titles like “Princess Peach” and the football games and Coca-Colas of “McMemories” Dogwood Tales speaks in a vocabulary previously unexplored in earlier works, unafraid of showing as much reverence for iconic fast food and video game characters as they do their grandmothers and local basketball legends. Or the achingly specific lyrics in “Angel Dreams”, “We drove to Southern Kitchen, you wouldn’t even play my favourite song. You cried in your fried chicken, the waitress thought I said something wrong,” it’s easy to feel like you’re sitting on a couch in the band’s attic; sharing stories, ambient Gamecube on in the background.
The humming electric guitars over beds of pedal steel and earnest lyricism find ESiRC in dialogue with indie rock’s current Lo-Fi country romanticism, lyrically pays homage to revered American songwriters in the footsteps of Townes Van Zandt, but ultimately takes listeners on a ride through uncharted territory. It’s a ride through Rockingham county, through the moody valley, the tight bond of four friends coming of age in a rural Virginia town, and a digital age where loneliness is far too prevalent. Thankfully, we’ve got the stars to keep us company.

Drauve
Special Guests: The Vics, King Blue Heron

The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale,
PA
Victoria and Stephen’s paths first merged in Pittsburgh when their former projects shared a bill at The Funhouse at Mr. Small’s. They connected instantly over shared influences, ambition, and struggles. Soon after meeting, they formed Drauve and released the dreamy and melancholic Haunted in 2019—an early glimpse at their one-two punch of gauzy textures and hard-hitting emotional intensity. Riding on a shared high of ambition, they moved to Los Angeles in 2020 where they’re still based today. Since the cross-country move, Drauve’s music has become more aggressive, a direct response to an increasingly apathetic world. With their latest EP, Drauve fights back against monotonous despair, what they call the Abyss. Victoria reckons with grief and existential crises in a world where it’s much easier to go numb. Using towering walls of distortion as an attack method, each song is like a soft-focus panic attack cloaked in a shoegazy haze. The lead single—the project’s title track—dropped July 29, with the full project releasing October 16, 2026.

The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale,
PA
If I told you New York’s alt rock scene is back, you might ask who’s responsible. Best known for their uninhibited, intoxicating live performances, Cab Ellis is the underground revival’s best-kept-secret. With a penchant for stage diving, spitting beer into mosh pits and splitting guitar strings center stage, the band stirs a certain chaos and confusion in young fans while conjuring a deep nostalgia for a bygone era in older listeners.

Maneka
Special Guests: The Zells, Sad Bulldog, Addict Brain
Saturday, October 17, 2026
Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls
Millvale,
PA
In addition to past work in bands Speedy Ortiz and Grass is Green, Devin McKnight has long written his own music as Maneka, releasing his solo debut Is You Is in 2017. On 2022’s Dark Matters, McKnight set out to explore the full range of his experiences as a studio and touring musician, delivering a striking, unclassifiable mesh of genre influence through which McKnight deftly explored the anxieties of working as a Black man in majority white indie rock spaces.
On his 2025 follow-up, bathes and listens, McKnight focuses his vision on Maneka’s musical identity, resulting in a more grounded album that still tests the extremes of McKnight’s songwriting talent. Elements of shoegaze and slowcore are prominent, but engineer Alex Farrar's exceptional production (Wednesday, Snail Mail, MJ Lenderman) makes bathes and listens cohesive, yet still distinct from any one style.

London-based songwriter Elanor Moss announces her signing to Merge Records and releases the new single, “Again, My Love.” The release follows 2025 tours with Foxwarren, Flyte, and Ye Vagabonds, and was met with support across the UK, with BBC6 Music naming her “One To Watch 2026”
Elanor Moss grew up in a very creative, devoutly Catholic family, and began playing music at church events. Homeschooled through early youth, her parents put a real emphasis on nature and reading and music. Eventually leaving the faith, Moss started writing songs of her own in York as a student of English literature and playing open mics around the city. While at University she also discovered songwriting greats: Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, The Beatles. Shortly after graduation, Moss met producer Oli Deakin, who offered to record her first EP, “Citrus.” Her work with Deakin took her to New York City, where she began forging a sense of community. Between “Citrus” and her second EP, “Cosmic,” Moss toured with Christian Lee Hutson, Benjamin Francis Leftwich and LYR, played one-off shows with Cassandra Jenkins, CMAT, and Sam Amidon, and performed at Pitchfork London, Green Man Festival, and Mosely Folk, among others.

Brazilian rock ’n’ roll band BANDA AL9 are bringing their high-energy sound to the United States this November, arriving on the heels of a breakout year that has seen the group reach an international audience and earn the support of one of rock ’n’ roll’s
most influential champions, Little Steven Van Zandt.
The Burkharts bring a dose of sun-soaked nostalgia from the shores of Buffalo, NY. Blending breezy melodies with jangly guitars, their indie surf-pop sound drifts somewhere between a 1960s Californian daydream and modern lo-fi charm. Frontman Trevor pens the tunes while his brother Gavon keeps time on the drums, joined by Austin, Luke, and James to complete the band’s retro-tinged rhythm section. Their latest single, “Tell Me,” is out now—perfect for late-night drives and golden-hour memories.

All proceeds will be donated directly to Guitars4Vets.
Guitars4Vets is a nonprofit founded in 2007 that provides free guitar lessons and a free guitar to veterans living with PTSD and other service-related trauma. The program started in Milwaukee after a guitar instructor and a Vietnam-era Marine veteran discovered music helped with healing, and it has grown to more than 110 chapters in over 40 states, plus remote options. Veterans, typically referred by VA medical staff or a Vet center, complete 10 weeks of one-on-one lessons with volunteer instructors and receive a free acoustic guitar, accessories, and a method book upon graduation. To date, Guitars4Vets reports giving more than 80,000 lessons and over 8,000 guitars to veterans.
The organization emphasizes the mental health benefits of learning music. A study cited by Military.com found a 21% improvement in PTSD symptoms and a 27% decrease in depression symptoms among participants.
In support of Veteran’s Day, Chaotic Order Entertainment seeks to raise awareness for veterans living with PTSD, and plans to donate all proceeds to the Butler, PA chapter of G4V.
Representatives of G4V will be in attendance for the entirety of the event to provide more information and answer any questions regarding their program.

Way Dynamic, the solo project of Melbourne’s Dylan Young, will soon release internationally Massive Shoe – a third album that’s playful and understated, luminous and textured. Massive Shoe is minimalist folk-pop, art rock and baroque pop, produced and largely played by Young, who moonlights in Melbourne’s beloved Cool Sounds and Good Morning and has played drums with Snowy Band and Kankawa Nagarra.
It’s tempting to only compare these timeless songs to those of yesteryear, but there’s a sensibility, a turn of phrase, that feels deeply contemporary: it’s telling that Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield described “Miffed It” as her “favourite song in a VERY long time”, and Katie and MJ Lenderman have both taken Way Dynamic on tour. At the same time, Sir Elton John said that he “just cannot stop listening” to “Ibiza”. Young’s songs don’t shy away from sentiment, or equally from silliness: on any given song he might evoke a cruisy trip through hell or earnestly lament a miscommunication. Whether the journey is to space or along the Seine, we’re very much along for the ride.
