THE FIERCELY INDEPENDENT BAND is made up of longtime Woodstock Film Festival friends Brian Devine (lead electric guitar) and John Mazlish (acoustic guitar and vocals). The classic rock band will perform at the historic Colony for an electric night of music featuring additional special guests.

Opening for FIB is JUST DESSERTS, featuring Tom Laverack on guitar and vocals, and Larry Fessenden on vocals and sax, backed by Mark Ambrosino on drums, Dave Richards on bass, and Dave Morgan on keyboards.

Larry and Tom have played music since 1979 and have released 5 albums, most recently Curtains (2025) and the JD Sampler Not What You Want But What You Deserve (2026). They played all the New York clubs back in the day, including CBGBs, Pyramid Club, and Knitting Factory. Laverack’s music has been featured in all of Fessenden’s movies, including his latest, Trauma Or, Monsters All, unspooling at the Woodstock Film Festival this year.
