Previews
What’s coming up for Hump Nights?
Hope Fest
Saturday, September 2, 2023 in Salem, MA
39 bands, 4 venues, vendors galore. Music from noon until midnight. What more can we say about the barnburner of a fest up in Salem? Go! It’s a laundry list of local artists that you’ve been meaning to catch live or love to see again.
Scrivener // In Use // Happy Just To See You
Monday, September 4, 2023 at Silhouette Lounge
It’s always an adventure in the backroom at the Sil. Grab a ‘Gansett. Hot dogs are iffy, but Bill the Bartender will come through with the popcorn.
Weatherless // Pan Arcadia // Not Bad Not Well // Subpunch
Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at Midway Cafe
HDN last caught Weatherless and Not Bad Not Well teaming up for a show in the backroom of the Sil. Now the gang crosses town to bring the magic of music to Midway Cafe. Give Burrito Pizzeria next door a pass unless you’re desperate.
JP Music Fest

Not officially a Hump Night and mostly happens in the day. But it rocks, and it’s free, so check it out!
Marvel Prone // Jean Paul Jean Paul // Big Rav // Cindy Crawford Cult
Monday, September 11, 2023 at the Silhouette Lounge
Jean Paul Jean Paul are always a riot. And they play alongside some local titans of big and loud and kind of heavy sounds. Can’t miss in the backroom at the Sil.
Fully Celebrated Orchestra with AS3 + Fenno Street Jazz
Wednesday, September 13, 2023 at Silhouette Lounge
Two Hump Day News favorites playing a Hump Night on Hump Day. Push your jazz, rock, fusion, combination Taco Bell and Pizza Hut boundaries with resident ensemble Fully Celebrated Orchestra and hero giggers AS3.
Live Skull w/ Thalia Zedek Band
Friday, September 22, 2023 at Midway Cafe
Local legend Thalia Zedek brings her band back to Midway Cafe as a kind of local host for NYC’s Live Skull. A night of artrock with the emphasis on ‘art’ and bracing guitar textures.
