Three Ring Goose Circus blends poetry, music, clowning and general chaos for an off-beat celebration of the sublime. Each member performs multiple artistic disciplines, with apparatuses such as a saw, hatchet, kazoo, synthesizer and flute. With Henry Kneiszel and Jess Morgan’s spoken word, and Alyssa Lucas’ horn and balloons all working together, the various disciplines enhance one another and offer a variety of stimuli. Kneiszel started the group in 2022 with the mission of creating attention-conscious work that’s unlike anything the audience has seen before.

Given the 1950s rockabilly aesthetic, one might expect to hear something akin to Chuck Berry or Stray Cats out of Nevins. Such a person would be in for a heavy, doomier psychobilly punk surprise, like Reverend Horton Heat mixed with Melvins. Nevins is a two-piece punk band featuring riff-heavy guitar and energetic driving drums. Guitar player Daniel Haglund brings the distorted riffs to the stage, with Kevin Haglund driving the grooves on drums. The band’s debut EP Da’Demo, was released just ahead of last year’s Homegrown.

In addition to his work in the totally normal bands Bratwurst and Big Science, Tyler Scouton has a weird electro solo act. It basically involves monkeying around with synthesizers and other gadgets to produce experimental noise. His previous Homegrown solo shows include a 2016 performance on the DTA Trolley and a 2024 slot at the Caddy Shack that featured vintage television commercials as a backdrop to audio drone.
