The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Lonely God Fest presents an early outdoor show at Kenton Club with loud guitars, pretty harmonies, lush synths and vibrant pop songs.

Pool Boys thrive in dualities — they live in the space where soft and sensitive give way to grit and ire. Melodic guitar hooks and oft-spacey, oft-grungy textures are thoroughly supported by driving bass lines and lush layers of vocal harmonies. The four-piece feels equally at home with dreamy art-pop outfits or with heavier punk bands. wearepoolboys.com

Weaving together elements and inspirations from Motown and ’70s synths to ’90s rock and early aughts indie, Neal Morgan’s new album PAW is contoured and colorful, built around a spine of vibrant pop songs. It’s the product of a creative pivot to pop music for an artist most known for his work as a drummer for songwriters Joanna Newsom and Bill Callahan, among others. nealmorgan.bandcamp.com/album/paw

Aqua Celestia is a dreamy duo driven by lush synthesizers and reverb-drenched guitar. These textures float through the air, evoking love, loss and longing in a place where angels are real and magic exists. instagram.com/aqua.celestia
