Bonerama

“Mark Mullins and Craig Klein met while playing in the trombone section of Harry Connick Jr.’s Big Band, and together they created the core sound of Bonerama — reminiscent of street-tromping brass bands, avenues of jazz clubs and heavy-pulsing rock.”

— NPR Music

Rebirth Brass Band

“Rebirth has been a leader in incorporating hip-hop, jazz, funk and soul into traditional New Orleans second line brass band music. A Rebirth show seems more like a rock and roll show than a jazz concert.”

— Houston Press

Gurufish

“OMFG the funk. So funky it hurt. All the funk you can sop up with a bicsuit. Did I mention it was funky? I might have a little bit of a soft spot for the funk, but I mean damn, these guys brought it! It’s like James Brown and Prince had a love child… Gurufish is my kind of funk. Joshua Reddick ”

— Joshua Reddick (Put It Where it’s At)

The Corin Tucker Band

“Corin Tucker knows how to transmute melancholy into energy, a stubborn belief that what can feel like a trap can also turn into a map to freedom.”

— NPR “Fresh Air”

Belle Mina

“Their sound is accessible without being bland or conventional, and it is electric yet features folk elements.”

— Britty Reese (UAB Kaleidoscope)

Miss Shevaughn & Yuma Wray

“Picture two musicians, resembling the hippiest versions of Jack and Meg White. They sport wide-brimmed Quaker hats, wear loose dresses, and between the two of them play percussion (stomps and glockenspiel too), guitar, organ, banjo, mandolin, lap steel, and harmonica. Can you even imagine that? Well, that’s Miss Shevaughn and Yuma Wray, an Americana duo that spends their life on the road. Therefore, “Americana” is not a lightly attributed category. They have seen the U.S. and they sing about it with heartfelt soul and just the right amount of indie charisma. There’s nothing stuffy or snobby about their music. It clearly shines through as honest and poetic. ”

— John Powell (Angelica Music)

Motel Ice Machine

From Motel Ice Machine bio: Wanting to blend American country music and his love of rockabilly, Ryan Flynt decided to start a new band doing things his own way. So he called in some old friends and made some new ones along the way. Blending rockabilly, bluegrass, and old country, Motel Ice Machine plays a variety of styles true to themselves.
