The Mommyheads - A leading light in the mid-1990s indie rock scene, the Mommyheads were formed in 1987 and quickly became a presence at the famous CBGB’s in NYC. The original lineup relocated to San Francisco in 1990 and were complimented by Michael Holt on keys/vox and Dan Fisherman on drums. Jeff Palmer (of SST’s Sister Double Happiness) later joined on bass and it was this lineup whose brilliance was crystallized on 1994’s Flying Suit and the 1995 fan favorite Bingham’s Hole that impressed Don Was enough to ensure support for their 1997 Geffen release. After a 10-year hiatus and bassist Jeff Palmer joining emo outfit Sunny Day Real Estate, the band reunited in 2008 and would go on to produce seven more full-lengths, all charting high in the Top 100 of College and Community radio. Their recent output has also garnered glowing reviews; Relix proclaiming “the Mommyheads are the Godfathers of Baroque Prog Pop” and Stereo Embers boasting “they are more creatively alive then they’ve ever been”.

Jedediah Parish has been the singer, songwriter and organ-player for The Gravel Pit since about 1990. The Pit released their first 7-inch single in 1992 and have been releasing records ever since, most recently2014’s Serpent Umbrella. Early in the 2000s Jed moved to New York City where did a lot of singing and playing with cabaret group Citizens Band, the Losers Lounge, Mike Viola (Candy Butchers) and They Might Be Giants. His first solo release came out in 1999 and his most recent title, 2019’s Let It Please, arrived exactly thirty years later. For this latest batch of shows he’ll be stripping down his sound from two Casiotone keyboards to just one Casiotone keyboard. He will also sing.
