The Damnwells: Folk Ensemble in New York

About The Damnwells

The Damnwells are an indie rock group that formed in Brooklyn in 2000 and continue to work at the edge of rock and pop with country-adjacent undertones. Their catalog runs across six full-length albums, including early releases like *Air Stereo* and *Bastards of the Beat* and the recent *Bad at Beautiful* (2024). The current lineup—Alex Dezen, David Chernis, Ted Hudson, and Steven Terry—brings the band’s long arc into focus onstage at Racket NYC. Their shows favor ensemble dynamics and plainspoken songwriting over spectacle.
