Tristan Israel is a unique singer/songwriter who has performed and recorded since the 70’s. His lyrics manifest a deep love of poetry originally instilled in him by his mother. His songs are genuine, far-reaching, varied and well-crafted. He is active in local government, social causes, landscaping and supporting the local island music scene. “The Tristan Israel Band” consists of Paul Thurlow on bass, vocal harmonies, piano & percussion and Nancy Jephcote on the violin/fiddle. Woven around Tristan’s varied songs and guitar stylings, the band creates a rich, distinct musical environment, with wide ranging virtuosity supporting the many themes of Tristan’s creative world.

The band members, all true Island "Washashores", are Phil Spillane on lead vocals, harp and guitar; Ron Jackson, guitar; Erik Lowe, bass; and Martin Cummings, drums. The band plays a good-time, upbeat set of Blues, Classic Rock (with emphasis on the Grateful Dead) and original songs.
Morgan Reitzas 6-6:30PM
I perform all your favorite hits from yesterday and today. All genres including rock n roll to country top hits. Influences are but not limited to Led Zeppelin, Dave Matthew’s, Van Morrison, Luke Bryan. For First Friday purposes it would be a solo act maybe with a special guest solo instrument from an island legend.
Sean McMahon & The Agreeable Men 6:30-7:30PM
The entire joint becomes an electrifying revival under the spell of Seán McMahon, the "Rock and Roll King of Martha’s Vineyard," when he unleashes his sonic alchemy. A preacherman who did his time in the Baptist pulpit, McMahon's original songs are freewheeling Americana sermons of the mystical and the mundane, filled with catchy hooks that stick like honey whiskey and soulful lyrics that burrow into your chest. The man is a vocal chameleon, able to sound like every singer he covers—from Johnny Cash to the Cranberries and from Stevie Nicks to Nirvana—and a guitar virtuoso to boot. An utterly unpredictable bandleader, he stirs delightful chaos alongside The Agreeable Men (Ted MacInnes and Chris Knott), where laughter and music collide in a shredful frenzy of deep jams, insane mashups, quirky comedy, and introspective moments that sneak in like whispers. A night with Seán McMahon is a spiritual adventure that will leave a lasting resonance long after the final chord fades.
Miss Molly Dazzle Fire Show 7:30-8PM
Eight years ago, Ms. Dazzle used to spend her summers working in Edgartown and in her spare time practiced her circus arts outside of the Tabernacle in Oak Bluffs. "Here we are, eight years later, and I get to do this as a profession and bring the joy of performance and circus to so many other people.”
Marzell & The Breakdowns 8-9PM
