Slap Dragon
Slap Dragon unites bassist Scott Mulvahill and vocalist Laura Berens, a pair who met and began collaborating on songs. Their music blends soulful singing with acoustic instrumentation from top Nashville session players, shaping an upbeat, funky mix influenced by bluegrass, disco, and R&B. After a debut show in Nashville and a set at Bonnaroo, the project has built momentum online, including an Instagram clip of the song Already Won that has surpassed 260,000 views. With support from a successful Kickstarter, they are preparing to release their first album, Mission Statement. This performance is at the BrickBox Theater inside JMAC. Tickets follow all-in pricing at $37 with general admission seating. To save on handling fees, buy in person at The Hanover Theatre box office or call 877.571.7469 for more information.
