Vicki Peterson and John Cowsill:

Vicki Peterson of The Bangles (whose work includes #1 hit “Walk Like An Egyptian” and several other Top 10 songs, such as “Eternal Flame” which is the biggest single by an all-female band in history) has teamed up with John Cowsill, drummer/vocalist for The Beach Boys for over 23 years and original member of the platinum-selling family band, The Cowsills to present their debut album comprised of songs written by John’s late brothers, Barry and Bill Cowsill titled, Long After The Fire.

Vicki is a founding member of the 1980’s group The Bangles, one of the most successful bands of that decade with over 6 million gold and platinum albums sold. The band’s music has transcended generations with more than 6 million current monthly listeners on streaming platforms, 300 million views on TikTok, and over half a billion channel views on YouTube as of 2024.

Throughout the 90’s, Vicki was a member of the critically acclaimed Americana band The Continental Drifters, recording three albums and performing throughout Europe and the US, including an opening spot for Bob Dylan. She also appeared on albums with Tom Petty, John Doe, Belinda Carlisle and toured with The Go-Go’s on their 1994-1995 reunion tour. The Bangles reunited in the 21st century to release four more albums.

At 7 years old, John Cowsill began working in clubs, singing and playing drums with his brothers. The Cowsills became a worldwide sensation in the late 1960’s playing The Ed Sullivan Show and Johnny Carson Show programs both 3 times, The Johnny Cash Show twice, and enjoyed several Top 20 hits including “Hair” (#1 in four countries and #2 on US Billboard) and “The Rain, The Park, & Other Things” (#2 on US Billboard with over 3 million copies sold).

In 1981, John’s voice and percussion landed on the Tommy Tutone hit, “867-5309 (Jenny).” He also toured with Jan and Dean before becoming a mainstay of The Beach Boys, playing guitar, piano, and finally sitting at the drum kit for over two decades playing an average of 180 concerts per year. John made many television appearances with the band including Good Morning America (7 times), The Today Show (6 times), The Tonight Show w/ Jimmy Fallon, and The Grammys.

Throughout his career, John has performed live and/or recorded work with Bob Dylan, Mamas & Papas, Harry Chapin, The Smithereens, Maroon 5, Hermans Hermits, Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees), and Chuck Berry.

Vicki and John, along with acclaimed musician/actor Bill Mumy, recorded three albums as The Action Skulls, the most recent, From A Running Horse, was released in 2023.

Working for the first time as a duo, Vicki and John’s debut LP LONG AFTER THE FIRE, was released in April of 2025 on Label 51 Recordings, inspiring rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Vicki and John toured steadily last year and continue to book more dates in the US and Internationally in 2026.

The Tall Pines:

“Connie Lynn Petruk and Christmas Davis are The Tall Pines – a duo who weld garage-rock, southern soul, swamp blues, and drive-in-movie sleaze into a bare-bones rock ‘n’ roll joyride. Think…a sound that’s equal parts back-porch and back alley.” ~ One4Review, UK

With Connie Lynn singing and playing drums on her alligator skin suitcase, while Christmas Davis conjures greasy, fuzz-drenched riffs from his guitar, their shows are not to be missed. The Tall Pines have played at The Stagecoach Music Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 30A Songwriters Festival, and on bills with Steve Earle, Nikki Lane, Kid Congo Powers, Norah Jones, Tav Falco, Justin Townes Earle, JJ Grey & Mofro, Alejandro Escovedo, The Lost Bayou Ramblers, and more. They are the Producers and Hosts of the popular live music series “The Tall Pines Revue” at Joe’s Pub, in New York City. With their new album “Tales From The Tall Pines” out in April on Declared Goods Records, Connie Lynn and Christmas are excited to share some brand new songs at The Tall Pines Revue. The Tall Pines play road-trip music for everyday life, juke-joint pit stops, and out-of-body experiences. We hope that you'll join us for the ride. "The Tall Pines are equal parts soul and twang, molasses and moonshine, sass and skill. The songs evoke the heyday of the country-soul hybrid without ever sounding unoriginal, a difficult feat.” ~ NPR Music

Bob Bert:

Bob Bert is best known as a drummer in the seminal NYC bands Sonic Youth & Pussy Galore. Continuing on in many bands including collaborations with Lydia Lunch, Kid Congo Powers, Mick Collins, Jon Spencer etc. Bob drums on over 25 albums.

Julia Haltigan:

Julia Haltigan is a New York–born musician and storyteller, shaped by a Lower East Side upbringing full of artists, taxi drivers, and unforgettable personalities. Best known as a music artist, her work extends into film, immersive theater, and even a touch of clowning. In addition to releasing several records under her own name, she has appeared in the award-winning film La Cocina, spent years performing in the surreal off-Broadway hit Sleep No More, and brings a physical, slightly mischievous edge to everything she does. Her current project, Moon Radio—created with vibraphonist and composer Yusuke Yamamoto—is a dreamy, cinematic band blending moody vibraphone, vintage synths, and ethereal vocals into a transportive live experience. Think Martin Denny scoring a David Lynch dream sequence. Catch the full Moon Radio band at Joe’s Pub on May 29!

Reese Nobiel:

Reese Nobile is a singer-songwriter who channels the spirit of the Southern wild with tones soaked in velvet and smoke, steeped in mysticism. Infused with a subtle country twang and layered with elements of indie, folk, R&B, and pop, her music carries a distinctive mystique that feels intimate, emotionally resonant, and atmospherically rich.
