Mannequin Pussy

Mannequin Pussy

Tuesday, September 16th 2025 - 8:00 pm
at Jefferson Theatre
110 E. Main St.

Mannequin Pussy’s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins “Bear” Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and Marisa Dabice (guitar, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. “There’s just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act ,” says Dabice. “The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.” Their latest I Got Heaven, which is out March 1 via Epitaph Records, is the band’s most fully realized LP yet.

Deafheaven with Harm’s Way and I Promised The World

at Jefferson Theater
110 E. Main St.

Deafheaven formed in the Bay Area in 2010 as the duo of childhood friends vocalist George Clarke and guitarist Kerry McCoy.  Drummer Daniel Tracy joined in 2012, guitarist and keyboardist Shiv Mehra came on board in 2013, with bassist Chris Johnson joining in 2017.  Together they’ve continually pushed what it means to make metal, they’ve also continued to feel just as open, honest, and soul-bearingly human as they did back in 2010.

MICO

Thursday, September 18th 2025 - 8:00 pm
at Jefferson Theater
110 E. Main St.

This event was originally scheduled at the Southern Cafe and Music Hall but has been moved to the Jefferson Theater due to popular demand.  All tickets originally purchased for the Southern event will be honored for this performance.

In a digital era where everyone wants overnight success, alt-pop rising artist MICO showcases that great music and consistency can win the race. Starting as a 16-year-old singing in Discord servers and Twitch streams, MICO (now 22) continues to connect with new listeners one-by-one, paying off in a cult fanbase of 1.6 million digitally (known as the “amicos”), generating over 100 million global streams and selling out North American and European tours – all independently without major label help.

The last two years have catapulted MICO to new heights – earning a top 20 radio hit (“cut my hair”), selling out three headline tours throughout the US and Canada, and sparking viral hits that have become staples in his discography (“HOMESICK”, “TV” and “Senses”.

at Jefferson Theatre
110 E. Main St.

This is a fully reserved seated show.

Much like community, music nourishes us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It also invites us to come together under the same roof and in a shared moment. In similar fashion, John Craigie rallies a closeness around music anchored by his expressive and stirring songcraft, emotionally charged vocals, lively soundscapes, and uncontainable spirit. The Portland, OR-based singer, songwriter, and producer invites everyone into this space on his 2024 full-length album, Pagan Church.

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory with TORRES

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory with TORRES

Thursday, September 25th 2025 - 8:00 pm
at Jefferson Theater
110 E. Main St.

For every ticket sold, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory will donate $1 to A New Way of Life Reentry Project for their work to advance multi-dimensional solutions to the effects of incarceration.

From the off, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory is sonically different from Van Etten’s previous work. Writing and recording in total collaboration with her band for the first time, Van Etten finds the freedom that comes by letting go. The result of that liberation is an exhilarating new dimension of sound and songwriting. The themes are timeless, classic Sharon – life and living, love and being loved – but the sounds are new, wholly realized and sharp as glass. Reflecting on this new artistic frame of mind, Van Etten muses, “Sometimes it’s exciting, sometimes it’s scary, sometimes you feel stuck. It’s like every day feels a little different – just being at peace with whatever you’re feeling and whoever you are and how you relate to people in that moment.
