***DATE CHANGE*** It's a good news/bad news situation for you 90's music fans. Due to construction underway at our venue, Doc Marten and The Flannels concert is moving to November 27th. All current ticket holders have been notified and have the option to keep the new date or get a full refund. Smoketown is in the middle of some construction and after talking with the crew this week, the venue won't be ready for all the grunge Doc Marten is bringing. When the construction is done, we'll have a new staircase and a new lift to get you from the brewery downstairs to the venue Upstairs. So kinda the only bad news is that you'll have to wait a while, but when you get here, they're gonna rock!

Megan Jean’s Secret Family is a fresh blend of the 70’s by way of the 90’s rock, soul, country, and jam, emphasizing vocal-driven, danceable original songs that bring together generations of sound. In May of 2024, the band made their national radio debut on NPR’s Mountain Stage alongside notable acts like Keller Williams and Bettye Lavette. DC Music Review called them one of their “New favorite acts” following an energetic performance at 2024’s DelFest. The band was awarded a creativity grant from the Maryland State Arts Council to produce their debut full-length album PLOT (Play.Loud.On.Turntable) which was released in Fall 2024. In the years since their formation they have shared the stage with Fastball, The Spin Doctors, Cabinet, Joan Osbourne, and Cris Jacobs. They'll be Upstairs on October 31st!
