Ryan Montbleau Band Ryan began his career playing Boston's coffee shops and folk venues, developing his picking abilities and unmistakable voice. Slowly but surely, Ryan built up a 6-piece band, aptly titled the Ryan Montbleau Band. With drums, upright bass, keys, sax, viola and guitar, the group is bridging the gap between 70's soul, ragtime and blues-folk-Americana. The band encompasses what Ryan calls the "holt trinity" of a singer/songwriter's craft: guitar, voice and words. It would be hard to criticize any of these elements in Montbleau's songs.

These seven funky brothers hail from Providence, RI, where they have been dropping the funk since the summer of 2002.

For two consecutive years, Fungus Amungus was selected "Best Jam Band" in New England by the Providence Phoenix. Also, in 2005, the Fungus was selected to be a finalist in WBRU's annual RockHunt. Their sound is an eclectic mix of funk, soul, reggae, groove and a hint of Irish whiskey. In the winter of 2004, their first full-length CD was introduced to the public: "All Banged Up". Since that time, the band has been mastering the art of the live show, with one highlight being a 7-hour performance at Wormtown's StrangeCreek festival.

Nate Wilson Group Most rock bands like to think they’re constantly moving forward. The Nate Wilson Group is moving backwards. Believe it or not, regression is exactly what the New Hampshire-based quintet is aiming for. While the majority of today’s rock bands hook laptops up to their amplifiers, blend hip hop and electronica into their sound, and aim for the singles-driven iPod trend, keyboardist Nate Wilson and his cohorts hearken back to a time when dinosaurs like Cream, Led Zeppelin and Traffic roamed the Earth. They gravitate towards an era when the album reigned supreme and concerts were organic spontaneous creatures instead of the predictable, cookie-cutter bores they’ve become. For Wilson and his band, backwards is the new forward. Website ~ Myspace |

Zach Deputy Hailing from the South Carolina coast, Zach Deputy has infused his earthy blues, roots-rock and soul with hip-hop beats, dance hall rhythms and a bit of the tropical humidity of Calypso and reggae. Maybe it is a natural result of living and performing along the Southeast’s beaches for the last four or five years, maybe it is a conscious desire to spice up the intuitive simplicity of his native, regional R&B with the exotic rhythms of the islands. It could even be Zach’s family roots in Puerto Rico and St. Croix. Either way, the result is an original sound as comfortable and accessible as worn flip-flops, open and inviting like a seaside cabana and full of flavor surprises like a New Orleans gumbo.

These veteran artists and extremely close friends describe their music as "road of life rock", playing blisteringly high-energy sets infused with catchy choruses, infectious grooves, astounding musical pyrotechnics, and hooky alt-country anthems about drinking, debauchery, loneliness, loss, love, road trips, and oh yeah, your first minibike.
