Our newest Tiny Couch: Mean Sweetie!
“Finch sings with a ferocity live that I don’t hear in their studio albums. Guitar parts heavily inspired by Dinosaur Jr. and Built to Spill and Chappy’s whirlwind drumming make it hard not to dance. Their rise to local fame has been meteoric, each show having a bigger and energetic crowd. You don’t want to miss seeing them live!”

Tiny Couch Concerts: Matthew Rolin
Matthew Rolin had us floating at our Tiny Couch before his show at the first UFO at GROW series concert in Columbia, SC. Having Rolin play his signature fingerpicking style at the GROW felt like we were back in the time of the original UFO during the late ‘60s. Completely transportive and meditative. Thank you to Matthew for coming in and playing this Tiny Couch!
