    About This Event

    Union Pool hosts a three-act bill featuring Told Slant, Sweet Baby Jesus, and Attic Basement. Sweet Baby Jesus brings guitar-driven, small-room country storytelling honed on New York bills like Elsewhere, while Told Slant—billed in opera contexts and recently at Mercury Lounge—offers direct, atmospheric delivery; together the lineup emphasizes live immediacy and narrative phrasing over studio polish.
