Pop Punk / Rock
Thursday July 29, 8PM

What happened in the late fall of 2007 when the local music scene just wasn't cutting it anymore and people needed to rejoice and find solitude in rock n' roll music? The Caulfields! were formed, That's what happened! Hailing from the North Shore of Massachusetts, these Boston natives know how to rock the house. Their witty banter, crowd participation, and catchy rock songs draw in even the dullest crowd member. After seeing a performance, one can't help but bob their head or hum a melody to their pop infused rock n' roll. Their influences range anywhere from Green Day and the Foo Fighters to Johnny Cash and The Beatles. They always stick around till the end of a show to greet fans and converse so you're more than likely to meet these strapping young twenty-somethings. In the mood for live music that gets you up out of your seat? Check out The Caulfields! Coming to a city near you.

After a near 1 year absence John Nicholls returns to the Gulu-Gulu. And he's brought some some friends along - Hell or High Water!

Blues / Rock / Soul
Thursday August 12, 8PM

Have you been High Falutin' lately? And if the answers no; then why not? Gracie, Geoff, Joe, and Tom found themselves asking these same questions. And with discovery of their lack of falutin-ness (if you will), there was only one thing they could do. Get High Falutin'!!! (you have to say it like "get HIGGHHHH (with you voice getting higher) falutin'!!" Noo, try it again, a little big higher on the "highhh" part... Yeah there you go! Alright. See doesn't it just feel better to say it that way? I know I feel better! We are not your average blues band... oh no. We take this ish to a whole notha level. We say things like "swell" and enjoy a thick moustache. We eat spaghetti with a fork... and a spoon. We play the blues like we are actually upset about something. And faster blues like we were upset, but have triumphed and now want to dance. Join us for an upcoming show, you'll be glad you did!

DJ Seth - www.upsidemedia.com
Indie / 80's Pop and Alternative
Friday August 13, 8PM

Seth began DJ'ing in the early 90's on college radio. These days, he finds it novel that he can see his listeners, as they are in the same room with him. Yet sometimes he wishes he could unsee things.  He'll expertly program music to accompany people who are trying to look like they're doing something important on their laptops. And, he'll even reserve some choice twee cuts for the notebook doodlers. As the evening evolves, he'll have people wriggling out of their shells to spazz out to the new-wave-synth-pop-punk-indie-garage-type stylings that are all the rage!

En Route Jazz Trio - www.myspace.com/enroutetrio
Jazz / Latin / Afro-beat
Saturday August 14, 8PM

For French born musician, Jean-marie Corrois, drumming has been a true love story. Inherently attracted as a child by a wide range of music, his current focus is more organic …a blending of Jazz, Latin, African, Brazilian and Indian rhythms. Specific grooves and their influences in the history of music have brought hope, joy and courage to humanity despite centuries of human struggles. When Jean-marie performs, he is sharing his love for diversity, blending the cultural colors of original music with his audience. More than 20 years of performance and teaching in Europe, and now five years in the United States, he has had the opportunity to connect with a wide spectrum of world musicians.

His side project En Route Jazz Trio performs classic jazz standards.
