A Former Friend & Goodmorning Valentine at Oasis Pub
A Former Friend & Goodmorning Valentine at Oasis Pub brings an evening of gothic Americana, indie folk, and heartfelt storytelling to downtown New London on Friday, July 31, at 9:00 p.m. The show pairs hometown favorites A Former Friend with Cleveland’s Goodmorning Valentine for a night celebrating thoughtful songwriting, rich melodies, and the intimate spirit of independent music.
New London’s A Former Friend blends Americana, gothic folk, and alt-country into a sound built on evocative lyrics and atmospheric arrangements. Their songs explore themes of memory, loss, resilience, and the quieter moments of everyday life, balancing intimate acoustic passages with powerful full-band performances. Joining them is Goodmorning Valentine, the Cleveland-based indie folk and Americana project led by songwriter Joseph Allen Beltram. With a catalog spanning more than two decades, the band has earned praise for its emotionally resonant songwriting, warm melodies, and live performances that combine roots rock, chamber folk, and atmospheric indie influences.
For more than two decades, Oasis Pub has been one of southeastern Connecticut’s most important venues for original music, giving local, regional, and touring artists a stage while fostering New London’s independent music scene. Known for championing original bands over tribute acts, Oasis continues to be a destination for music fans looking to discover authentic voices and unforgettable live performances.
