Silly Goose, BRKN LOVE, Stay Here
December 13, 2025
AURA Fest Presents:
Silly Goose, BRKN LOVE, Stay Here
at The Sentient Bean
With their raw energy and penchant for chaos, Atlanta’s Silly Goose have managed to carve out a unique niche in the world of heavy music. The band’s live performances have garnered legendary status for their unapologetically chaotic nature through post-show stunts as they storm venues, catching unsuspecting fans off-guard and playing sets in unconventional settings, which has garnered attention from Revolver, Stereogum, Metal Injection, NME, Consequence and more.

Toronto singer and guitarist Justin Benlolo envisions a fresh future for the genre on the BRKN LOVE'S 2019 full-length debut for Spinefarm Records produced by Joel Hamilton [Highly Suspect, Pretty Lights]. “When I first thought about starting a band, it needed all of the elements of rock ‘n’ roll that I respond to—big guitars, big drums, and big vocals,” he explains. “I didn’t want it to be too complex. It had to be something everybody could digest in a short and sweet format. It’s alternative, but it’s also heavy. Read full bio on website

"Stay Here is a name you’ll see scattered across flyers and Instagram carousels across Atlanta, Georgia. They’ve been a fan favorite in the pop punk scene, selling out shows at 150-cap venues like Bon House and opening for iconic bands like The Fray and The Spill Canvas.
They released a new single on October 9th, 2024 titled “God’s Gift”. For a band that casually admits they “take ages to put out music” it’s something to celebrate when they do. “God’s Gift” will also be on an upcoming EP that’s slated to be released in 2025."

BORIS AND THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
Watercolor Drawings by Derek Larson
ABOUT THE WORK
Tomorrow is Boris’ birthday party. And all of Boris’ friends have been invited. There will be birthday cake and fizzy drinks and lots of red balloons. Best of all, Boris is looking forward to celebrating with his friends. But the party has started…and there’s NO sign of the party bus or ANY of Boris’ friends. What if no one drops by?!!!
“Boris and the Birthday Party” is a collection of watercolor drawings that focuses on adorable characters with big personalities. This work is about celebrating the creative act of play and imagination, encouraging viewers of all ages to take a moment and see the world through their inner world of whimsy to tell a story close to their own hearts. Anything is possible. So hop on the birthday bus, and enjoy the art for what it is: a world of joy, wonder and whimsy.
BIO
A visual storyteller and illustrator from Maryland, Derek Larson now lives in Savannah, GA, where he works as a full-time studio artist. Larson journeyed to the South for a SCAD sequential art M.F.A. in 2010 and never left.Larson became a full-time studio artist in 2020, selling his ceramic mushrooms, gnomes, and whimsical characters in small boutiques across the country.
After three years hand-making distinctively fantastical sculptures, Larson packed up his home ceramics studio in Summer 2023 and pivoted back to his graduate degree training in illustration and storytelling.
Today, Larson is illustrating lush watercolor landscapes and buildings (with whimsical characters making their rightful appearances) and working on a series of children's picture books. You can show your support by purchasing prints of his artwork at www.welovelarson.com and follow him on Instagram @dereklarsonlove.

FEATURES
Great acoustics | vaulted 22 ft wood ceiling | modest 5x7 ft stage | seats up to 50/standing room 70 | seating can be arranged with tables or in rows | smoke free
THE SPACE
Used as seating during the day, it is easily transformed into a comfortable DIY performance space. We have a stage and large open floor space that works well for standing room as well as seating. During shows, the coffee house offers baked goods, beer and wine, as well as drip coffee and tea.
PROMOTION
We include events on our website, and are happy to be Facebook Event co-hosts. In large part, however, the promotion is up to you! Feel free to drop off up to three posters, and a stack of quarter sized flyers if you have them. Flyers should include a short description of your music or a media quote. Be sure to send your information to the local media.
PAYMENT
Just to clarify, we are not a club, we are a coffee shop (and a little more). We do not pay guarantees, and generally performers accept donations or run their own door fee. Currently, as our café closes at 7PM, a staffing fee is required to book an event. The details of payment will be handled during the scheduling process.
