61 Ghosts hails from New England, fronted by Joe Mazzari (vocals, guitar), who toured and recorded with Johnny Thunders of New York Dolls fame, and rounded out by Dixie Deadwood (drums), formerly playing with blues legend Leo ‘Bud’ Welch. Dixie brings a steady cyclone of power to the striking sound of this powerful duo, blending Mississippi Hill Country Blues and Rock 'n Roll with Mazzari’s memorable voice and searing guitar. Definitely one’s to watch out for!
Autumn Hollow blends raw rock energy with thoughtful Americana storytelling, led by frontman Brendan Murphy's distinctive vocals and incisive songwriting. With Mike Burke's textured lead guitar work and the dynamic rhythm section of Chuck Vath (bass) and Ian McMillan (drums), the band has become a fixture in the New England music scene through performances at venues like The Paradise Rock Club and Club Passim.
Drawing from diverse influences spanning Bob Dylan to hip hop, Murphy crafts songs that feel both familiar and surprising. His background as a teacher brings lived experience to lyrics that often tackle social themes with nuance and insight. Their previous EP, Throw the House, earned Boston Music Award nominations and praise from the Boston Globe for their "unalloyed rock 'n roll."
Known for live shows that balance jam band spontaneity with tightly crafted songs, Autumn Hollow creates music that respects tradition without being constrained by it. Their album Say No More represents a significant evolution in their sound—one that embraces experimentation while remaining accessible and emotionally resonant.
Cryin Caleb Aaron is a singing, songwriting, guitar-playing one-man band from Maine. Playing his own style of roots rock 'n' roll/country/twang/punk, his influences creep out from the shadows stretched over several decades of underground song, from Hank Williams to Bo Diddley, Sinéad O’Connor to The Gun Club, and Dead Moon to Lead Belly. With equal parts cynicism and pathos, his melodic, rousing songs are almost always laced with desperation, dealing with existential crisis, lonesomeness, regret, alienation, love, and armageddon.
