Holiday Concert Benefitting Foster Love
Tonight, Jamie Dunphy & True North celebrate the release of their new holiday 7-inch, A Post-Punk Christmas Card, featuring the original single “Give Me Something Good for Christmas.” The band features three seasoned musicians with a long history in the Boston music scene: Jamie Dunphy (The Beige, Mill City Trio), Seth Peterson (Electric Standard, The Gone Boys, Capital 6) and Tod Salmonson (The Snap Daddies, Dr. Smigley's Baby). The trio formed in 2018 and have been performing regularly since at Boston-area venues including the Burren Backroom, the Midway Cafe, Lilypad Inman and the Square Root. In May 2025, the band released Stage Dive Into Oblivion, a collection of four singles including The Last Song, 1983, Everything Must Go, and Snowfall, which Stereo Stickman called "a gorgeously refreshing classic."
In May 2021, the group released their first full-length album, Dark Night Bright Morning, which featured the hit singles The Girl in the Boat and The Great Divide. The album garnered much critical acclaim:
"A superbly crafted pop-rock CD" -Roots Music Report.
"A gorgeously enjoyable, interesting and professionally crafted album from a band with a timeless authenticity to their sound." -Stereo Stickman.
"A perfect album for our times." -Metronome Magazine.
"The band combines expert musicianship with a folk singer's style and a keen appreciation for the hook." -The Static Dive.
Spawned in the cellars, garages and clubs of Western MA’s Pioneer Valley, the Bamboo Steamers have been playing high energy roots rock and roll for several decades. The band recently re-released their acclaimed debut album, The Many Love Making Sounds of the Bamboo Steamers, and are currently playing is support of their most recent EP, Six Minutes to Everything. The Daily Hampshire Gazette said of the group, “their original music is timeless, combining surf/spy instrumentals (a la The Ventures, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, Los Straitjackets) and vocal songs that bounce with a spry, countrified gait.”
