In the 1980s and early 1990s, Jimmer Podrasky was a member of rock band The Rave-Ups, which gained cult status after being featured in the movie Pretty in Pink. Then, he vanished, opting out of the music industry so he could raise his son Chance. After a 23-year hiatus, he released his strongest work to date, his first solo album The Would-Be Plans in 2013. Chapel Hill-based singer Skylar Gudasz is best known for her expressive voice and distinctive sound. She has toured with Big Star Third and various projects- travelling around the world from Barcelona to Australia. She just released her debut solo album Oleander this past February, delivering a collection of dramatic, honest, and playful alt-country songs. Consequence of Sound acclaims, “Cumulatively, the whole album is a spectacular introduction to a worthy, captivating new voice in Americana.”

Why did you take the Mimosa Music Series to The Federal?
“I have a friend, Brad Spencer, who worked for the Knitting Factory and The Federal Bar. He would come by the house to see the shows, then told me about The Federal Bar and invited me down to check it out. I loved the room, the vibe and the people who worked there. So when my wife gave us our walking papers, it seemed the perfect place to move the Mimosa Music Series.”
