    About This Event

    Arlene's Grocery hosts a mixed-genre bill of NYC rock/pop group Confuse Them, electronic project Desk Job, emerging songwriter JFM, and Irish rock/pop band Juniper. The lineup favors band-forward, compact arrangements and clear pacing — Confuse Them emphasizes momentum and clarity; JFM focuses on direct songcraft; Desk Job brings layered rhythm and controlled texture; Juniper supplies guitar-forward, plainspoken melodies from its 1990s EPs.
