out·crop /?out?kräp/ : an outstanding rock formation

From the woods of Northern New Jersey, The Outcrops present original blues-infused rock’n’roll. The four-piece band was formed in 2016 by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Cassidy Rain and lead guitarist Bryan Schroeder. As a singer, Cassidy has been compared to Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi, but her raw sensibility as front person could as easily bring comparisons to blues legends like Howlin' Wolf or Muddy Waters. Bryan’s playing falls somewhere between Duane Allman and Derek Trucks, as many fans have pointed out. Bryan has also noted Jerry Garcia as a major influence. His long flowing lead lines throughout songs intertwine with Cassidy’s vocal phrases to create a very melodic sound that sets the tone for The Outcrops. The rhythm section of the band includes a rotating cast of bass players and Max Adler on drums, bringing a funk and soul feel that melds well with Cassidy and Bryan, creating their band tag: Rock & Roll, Blues & Soul.

The spirited students of the Jim Thorpe High School Theatre Club will perform cabaret and Christmas favorites together, celebrating the club’s growing legacy. Since its inception in the 2022-2023 school year, the club has delighted the community with plays like Hurry Up and Wait, A Christmas Carol, and its first musical, The Addams Family. This Christmas Cabaret night is part of the 2024 season, which will culminate with Peter and the Starcatcher in the spring.
