Tonight’s Headlining Band
The Nude Party
Born from dorm room jam sessions and basement rituals, The Nude Partyemerged from Appalachian State University with a fresh-yet-familiar sound that channels the wild spirit of 1960s rock through a modern lens. The band — Patton Magee, Shaun Couture, Don Merrill, Alec Castillo, Austin Brose, and Connor Mikita — bonded as childhood friends and step-siblings, building their unique sonic chemistry while living and playing together in a lakeside house in North Carolina.
Blending the raw vibe of The Velvet Underground and The Rolling Stoneswith contemporary grit, The Nude Party released their self-titled debut album in 2018, followed by the acclaimed Midnight Manor in 2020. Hailed by Rolling Stone and The Line of Best Fit, the band has developed a devoted global fanbase, performing with the likes of Jack White, Arctic Monkeys, and Greta Van Fleet. Now based in the Catskills of New York, they continue to evolve while staying true to their unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll roots.
