Thursday, May 1: John Seabury

 

Friday, May 2: The Green Machine
Rising out of the post Garcia Dead head and Reggae scenes of the late 90's, Green Machine's constantly evolving sound has found its way into the hearts of music lovers everywhere. After years of experimentation with all most every genre they have come up with a unique sound that can only be described as reggadelic jam jazz. If you get chance check out a GM show - it's truly a feast for the eyes, ears and soul.

Friday, May 23: Fred Odell and The Broken Arrows
Fred Odell crafts songs that come from the varied terrain of Southern living
and the stark desert nights of California. They’re as home around the campfire
as they are in a smoky honky-tonk. He writes with a soulful spirit and a lonely
heart that brings to mind the influences of  Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons
and The Allman Brothers..

Friday, May 30: Antioquia
Antioquia's style is difficult to classify. The band grew up on rock, listening to everything from Primus to Phish to Pink Floyd, but their travels in South America opened their eyes. They found an immediate connection to the rhythms of Africa, the root of it all, listening to bands such as Fela Kuti and Ali Toure. Spending two years in a culture where music is hope, and hope is life, Latin rhythms are now a huge part of their art.
