April 17 – Fun City Fan Club, Closed Course, and Sam Drouin

Friday, April 17, 2026

*This show will start at 730.

Three Southern New Hampshire acts take the stage at The Button Factory Stage on Thursday, April 17, featuring Fun City Fan Club, Closed Course, and Sam Drouin. From fuzzy, hook-filled grunge to emotionally charged riffs and synth-driven punk energy, the night highlights a range of sounds coming out of the local scene.

Opening the show is Fun City Fan Club, bringing their self-described bubble grunge sound. Their music blends fuzzy guitar tones with catchy melodies and playful energy, striking a balance between gritty distortion and pop sensibility.

Next up is Closed Course, an emo-grunge band from Southern New Hampshire. Their sound leans into the heavier and more emotional side of the genre, combining driving guitars with introspective songwriting and a raw live presence.

Closing the night is Sam Drouin, a live looping dance-synth-punk artist who builds songs in real time on stage. Layering beats, synths, and vocals through looping techniques, Drouin creates an energetic solo performance that feels more like a full band experience.

Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the door, with advance tickets available at PortsmouthNHtickets.com.
