We loved Orb’s November set here at the taproom so we have asked him back here for a December encore!
Orb Mellon is the blues moniker of Mike Malone, founder and guitarist of the seminal 1990s indie rock band and Sony/Epic recording artists Dirt Merchants.
Orb Mellon mines the raw energy of 20th Century American roots music, particularly whiskey fueled house party delta blues. Influenced by the likes of Bukka White, Junior Kimbrough, and John Fahey, Orb Mellon performs pure, sonically aggressive, and ever transforming original folk blues. He has performed extensively around the eastern United States and Canada sharing the stage with such diverse acts as David Johansen (NY Dolls), Daddy Long Legs, Charlie Parr, R.L.Boyce and Brownbird Rudy Relic. In 2018, Orb Mellon was a feature performer at the Montreal International Jazz Festival.

Bridgeport broadcasting great Steve Di returns for another set at Berlinetta. Steve has a strong collection of punk, psych, soul, and reggae, and his sets are always outstanding.
DJ RareBear takes to the turntables for the Bridgeport Art Trail at Berlinetta Brewery & Record Shop. Savor a palette of Latin rhythms, the dusky tones of downtempo trip-hop, and the abstract contours of acid jazz—layered with bold strokes of funk, soul, and Afrobeat, brushed with surreal hues of hip-hop and psychedelia. Enjoy Berlinetta’s finely crafted brews and the timeless mastery of Zuppardi’s pies—and, true to the art form, it’s all vinyl, all the time.
