Orca/Shamboogi/Very Last Resort

Orca 
Traveling east from Colorado, Orca brings a vibrant blend of indie rock, alternative grooves, and adventurous songwriting to the stage. The Denver-based quintet is known for tight musicianship, layered vocal harmonies, and a sound that moves easily between funky basslines, blues-tinged guitar work, and melodic pop hooks. With new music and a growing touring schedule, Orca is building momentum beyond the Colorado scene, making their stop at The Garage a rare chance to catch the band up close in an intimate venue. 

Shamboogi 
Local favorites Shamboogi bring a genre-blending sound rooted in funk, jam rock, and improvisational energy. The band mixes influences ranging from hip-hop and jazz to psychedelic rock, creating a groove-heavy style that thrives in the live setting. Their collective approach to songwriting and performance allows each member to bring their own flavor to the mix, often pushing songs into new directions during a set. Whether it’s tight rhythmic interplay or extended jams, Shamboogi’s shows are about exploration and connection with the crowd. 

Very Last Resort 
Rounding out the bill is Very Last Resort, a high-energy NOVA-based act known for delivering punchy alternative rock with a punk-leaning edge. Their songs balance driving guitars, melodic hooks, and raw stage energy, capturing the spirit of the regional DIY scene that thrives around the DC and Maryland underground. Onstage, the band leans into a fast, loud, and crowd-friendly approach that keeps the room moving from the first chord to the last.
