Friday, September 5 — A night of heavy, atmospheric sounds at Westside Bowl. Doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM.
Deep Essence is a new collaboration formed in 2024, featuring Randy Davis and Tonie Joy — 2/3 of the short-lived mid-90’s trio The Great Unraveling. Joy is also known for co-founding Moss Icon and Universal Order of Armageddon. They’re joined by bassist Steve Strohmeier, a long-time Baltimore multi-instrumentalist most recently co-piloting Midnight Sun. Together, they craft layered, intense, and dynamic music rooted in decades of underground innovation.
From Evansville, Indiana, Faerie Ring delivers hard rock with grit, groove, and a heavy edge. Their sound merges classic rock influences with a modern weight, pulling listeners into a haze of riffs and rhythm.
