Doctor Gasp and Tender Spot: A Halloween Special

Doctor Gasp and Tender Spot: A Halloween Special
Join Doctor Gasp and Tender Spot for a spooky evening of music and theatrics as we welcome in the Halloween season at CitySpace
Do you distaste the flavor of wax lips? Throat sore from cackling like a phantom? Well... don't lose your head! Haunting can be daunting... and to be Frank; a pain in the neck! This season leave all the ghoulishness to that maniacal minstrel... Doctor Gasp! Beneath the mask of this phantom is a New England folk musician Dan Blakeslee with his unique bag of all original songs of Halloween oozing with vampires and ghastly creeps. Blakeslee's songs are a throwback to old-time cult horror themes, giving nods to Bobby Pickett (Monster Mash), Alfred Hitchcock, John Zacherle and the cavernous voice of Paul Frees. Each October the unexpected spectacle Doctor Gasp rises from the shadows delivering an earful of eerie for the young, old and immortal!
Tender Spot is the music project of Marie “Murry” Echo (fae/they/she) and Tom Matherly (they/them) that blossomed into a two act show called “Witchpunk the Musical”, an immersive theatrical experience narrated by Morphesus, god of dreams, that journeys through the shapeshifting and lucid landscape of dreams. The music & theater of this project is inspired by their love for magic, mythology, the healing spell of compassionate loving awareness, & shredding it. Enter the Dream on October 25&26, 2025 for full length performances of “Witchpunk the Musical” at Northampton Center for the Arts. Find our music on Bandcamp, Spotify & Apple Music.
