Selcouth Quartet is a dynamic and eclectic ensemble that defies easy categorization, blending intricate compositions with soaring improvisation to create a sound all its own. The quartet, consisting of Joe Russo on drums and keys, Stuart Bogie on saxophone, flute, clarinet, and keys, Jon Shaw on acoustic and electric basses, and Jonathan Goldberger on acoustic and electric guitars, bring together a wide range of influences to push what is possible in contemporary music.

Their self-titled debut album (Coming Fall 2023), recorded at Floki Studios in Iceland with producer and engineer D James Goodwin, is a mesmerizing exploration of a range of styles and moods. Born of creative immersion in a remote and otherworldly environment, it seamlessly drifts between hauntingly beautiful melodies, propulsive improvisation, expansive atmospheres, and towering sonic constructs.

Eli Paperboy Reed and Binky Griptite celebrate the life and music of Funk pioneer Arlester “Dyke” Christian who would have turned 80 years old on June 13th, 2023 if he hadn’t been brutally gunned down on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona in 1971. An all-star band featuring some of Brooklyn’s finest Funk and Soul musicians will provide the foundation for the proceedings with both Reed and Griptite taking vocal duties along with some tantalizing surprise guests.

- Nicole Atkins

Nicole Atkins put out one of the best summertime records of 2020. Italian Ice was like a postcard from the Jersey Shore in the 1970s - full of warmth, vivid color and a tilt-a-whirl variety of musical grooves wrapped around Atkins' wonder of a voice.

You'd be forgiven if you missed it, as there was a bit of competition from world events. But now there's a second helping served up in Memphis Ice, a cabaret deluxe style reimagining of the songs.

“Italian Ice was one of the first feel-good records that I've made,” Atkins says, “and people needed to feel good last year. But of course, like everybody else, I couldn't go out and play it live.”

Resilient and resourceful, Atkins started hosting a variety show from her attic, distributed through Patreon. It was so well-received that Amazon soon picked it up and funded more expansive episodes, shot at Asbury Park's Paramount Theater, and featuring special guests like Ween and Kurt Vile. Atkins says, “Initially, I thought, 'We've got to figure out a way to keep playing, make some money and give ourselves something to look forward to.' But the variety show ended up saving our lives.”

Diamond Grinder is releasing their debut full-length album, Expectations, and you’re going to want to be at The Sultan Room on June 18th to celebrate with them as they play alongside two of the best New York-area bands working today, Trace Mountains and Poise. Diamond Grinder’s singles (i.e. “Wonder” from the year-and-a-half-old Queens-based folk rock outfit's forthcoming debut) have been praised by outlets like KCRW and We All Want Someone To Shout For. Trace Mountains and Poise are among the most vital and artfully vulnerable indie rock projects of the last few years, their respective previous two records (House of Confusion by Trace Mountains and Vestiges by Poise) serving as essential inspiration for Diamond Grinder’s work. This is the ideal bill in the ideal location—have you seen The \[absolutely beautiful\] Sultan Room?—with which to launch Expectations out into the world.
