your head whilst wiping away tears of laughter. Often referred to as the “Weird Al of Metal” and the “Brad Pitt of the<br />
Universe*,” the comedy metal troupe Psychostick hopes to capture your heart with joy, soil your pants with guffaws,<br />
and press your nerdy buttons with gentle-yet-reckless abandon.”<br />

The Dread Crew of Oddwood<br />
The Dread Crew of Oddwood is a folk metal band known for its pirate-themed music played exclusively on acoustic<br />
instruments. They have dubbed this unique style as Heavy Mahogany. By infusing the raw energy of heavy metal with<br />
Celtic folk music, The Dread Crew of Oddwood’s Heavy Mahogany style has carved a distinct and popular niche in<br />
the heavy metal community. They riff and shred on the accordion, mandolin, bouzouki, tin whistle, toy piano, acoustic<br />
guitar, upright bass, and “Oddkit”, while weaving grandiose tales of comrades lost, bloody sieges, drunken debauchery,<br />
zombies, airships, and time travel! The Dread Crew of Oddwood is currently on tour in support of their new album,<br />
Lawful Evil, bringing boundless acoustic antics to a city near you!<br />
