Joe Adragna (Of the Junior League) and Lance Porter (of The Rakers)

Joe Adragna is the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist mastermind behind the acclaimed power-pop project The Junior League. With The Junior League, he crafts melodic, vintage-inspired rock that echoes the jangle of Big Star and the grit of the Beatles’ Revolver era. For this intimate solo set at Dead Beat, Adragna strips back his lush studio arrangements to highlight the melodic warmth and bittersweet introspection of his tenth studio album, TheMoon Neither Noticed or Ignored (2026). Adragna has toured and recorded with The Minus 5, as well as recorded with Boz Boorer (The Polecats), Parallax Project,Sadabouts, and many others.

A seasoned songwriter and versatile guitarist now based in Athens, Lance Porter is playing his first club show here after a decade-long run with Baton Rouge garage rockers, The Rakers. Tonight, he debuts his solo material—stripping back the unvarnished energy of his band years to showcase a songwriting style defined by dark wit and Southern-gothic narratives.
