**Chris Otepka** **with Jake McKelvie and Caspar Milquetoast** The former lead singer of a criminally underheralded band called Troubled Hubble, **Chris Otepka** now performs solo and unplugged as The Heligoats — a strange name for a guy strumming a guitar, but oddly befitting someone who stuffs his songs with so many sideways ideas and observations. Given the yarns he spins here, it's easy to imagine Otepka envisioning a herd of goats with propellers and setting the concept to music. **Jake McKelvie** has travelled the DIY touring circuit in the US and UK for over a decade, carving out a niche for himself as a songwriter and performer. Known for his "stream of self-consciousness” and world weary lyricism, he keeps audiences engaged both as a solo performer or with his newly minted backing band, “the New Old Band". His most recent album A New Kind of Hat came out in 2024 and he has been touring to support it since. **Doors at 7:30, show at 8:30** **$12 adv/$15 dos + fees** Presented by Skylark Lounge.
