The 7th Annual Bravofest September 26, 2026 Teaser

About Nate Dal Cais:

Dal Cais first discovered the non-profit organization Homes For Our Troops after seeing a live stream on the Drew Raskin (aka the Cobra Kai Kid)  YouTube Channel. The segment featured the producer of the upcoming Netflix Documentary Kai Hards with actor Barrett Carnahan who were raising money for Homes For Our Troops. 

Nate Dal Cais, founder of Forever Autumn Records and the band Imbolg, created the Bravofest event seven years ago to honor the service of the owner of the Charlie Bravo's, Van Lee, who is a veteran and also the service of Imbolg’s drummer Ken Holley (2nd cousin of Buddy Holly) and several of his family members who have served our nation.

Dal Cais built Bravofest from the ground up with the help and inclusion of multiple artists from different areas and varying musical genres. Bands from the underground scene of not only Connecticut, but also New York, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts have participated annually. Media have also been a great source of support for the cause. Nate appeared on NBC CT Live! promoting Bravofest and Homes For Our Troops, among other coverage.

Nate Dal Cais has expanded Bravofest out to his hometown of Ridgefield Park, NJ for the second year in a row with summer music festivals in 2025 and 2026 at the Ridgefield Park Civic Center

and he has plans for a Bravofest NYC in the works.

Imbolg, featuring singer/songwriter/guitarist Nate Dal Cais, will be joined on stage by members of Jellyfish Jam - Cisco Donnola and Juan Guava. Imbolg will soon release a new single titled "Blasphemy" which will be featured on their upcoming album.

Imbolg is a New York City band named after the Celtic pagan holiday Imbolg (also spelled “Imbolc” or “Imbolic” and, sometimes misspelled as “Imblog”). The band creates dark, melodic and often heavy sounds mixed with synthesizers in various music genres ranging from Gothic Metal to Punk to Old School Death Rock, reminiscent of their main inspirations which include artists Type O Negative, the Misfits, Black Sabbath, Paradise Lost and the 69 eyes.

Imbolg has been performing in various places throughout the United State. The band's debut show was at the world famous CBGB’s Gallery and more recently in Salem, MA, Providence,RI, Baltimore, Delaware, several cities in New Jersey and Connecticut and other landmarks including Astor Place in New York City for the annual Witchfest held every July. Imbolg has also played at Yasgur’s Farm, more commonly known as the site of the original Woodstock Festival.
