Airshow & Houseplant @ The Mousetrap – Friday, April 19th

Airshow is a high-flying jamband that’s sure to soar to the top of every music fans priority list this year.
Having originally formed in Reading, PA, childhood best friends, Steve Gallagher (guitar/vocals) and Cody Chelius (mandolin/vocals), spread their wings and migrated to Nashville, TN in 2015. There they met Bill Baker (bass/vocals) and John Rodrigue (drums/vocals) and immediately started their ascension towards the top of Nashville’s jamband scene— and they won’t be landing anytime soon.

Flash forward to 2023 and Airshow is poised for liftoff. Having released two studio albums, ‘Shimmer’ (2021) and ‘Up in the Clouds’ (2019), as well as two EPs, ‘Anubis’ (2020) and ‘Lightbulb’ (2017), this fleet has enough studio material to keep your ears occupied for a 747 trip from JFK to O’Hare. After extensively touring the Northeast and Southeast, the band has their navigation set for everywhere in 2023. Keep your eyes peeled for the one and only Airshow in your town soon!

Formed during the lockdown days of 2020, Houseplant emerged post-pandemic a band fully evolved. A group of veteran players with the chops and vision to hit the ground running. And that’s exactly what they’ve done. Dropping singles from a soon-to-be released debut record, selling out shows in Louisville and Cincinnati and galvanizing a passionate fanbase that has risen up to support them.

They are undoubtedly a jam band, but there is a songwriter’s twinkle in their collective third eye. An indie rock band with a penchant for collaborative jams and improvisation. Led by the rhythms of the electric mandolin, mixed with deep rhythmic grooves and rich sonic textures, they seem complete, but the timeline suggests Houseplant is only getting started.
