THE DREADNOUGHTS & APES OF THE STATE

FW Shows and Broken Goblet are excited to welcome back the spirited sounds of Vancouver folk-punk band The Dreadnoughts, the charismatic indie folk of Apes of the State, and mandolin driven gutter folk of Driftwood Soldier.

Known for their high-energy performances and unique fusion of traditional folk influences and punk rock energy, The Dreadnoughts deliver a rousing show that showcases their dynamic instrumentation and poetic lyricism. Their infectious melodies and storytelling create an atmosphere that invites the audience to join in the revelry, making for a memorable night that bridges the gap between genres and cultures.

Apes of the State have built a reputation for their heartfelt and relatable songwriting. With their engaging stage presence and rich harmonies, Apes of the State bring the audience into their world through poignant and often humorous tales of love, loss, and everyday life.

Driftwood Soldier isn’t your average mandolin-bass foot-stomping gutter-folk duo. Growling and crooning, muttering about lost love, brimstone, and the glorious view from the underside of a rusty world-order. This is the kind of roots music that grows through the cracks in a West Philly sidewalk and drinks its rainwater laced with motor oil.

Doors 7PM, All Ages, Advance Tickets $20, Day of Show $25.
