The High & Wides
The High & Wides were formed in 2015, and have roots both in Baltimore and the rural Delmarva peninsula. They draw on a shared background playing straight ahead bluegrass, but weave in influences from new wave to old time to make music that evokes the era before country, bluegrass, rockabilly, western swing, and rock'n'roll broke off into separate and strictly defined genres. The band's music imagines an alternate timeline - if instead of the electric-guitar and drums driven band format that took off in the 50s, the stringband lineup had dominated across genres of popular music in the 20th century, what would be happening now?
They have released two full-length albums of original music, 2018's "Lifted" and 2019's "Seven True Stories". In March 2022 they released their first album of covers, "Blood", which pays tribute to exemplars of the two-part "brother duet" singing style that first inspired the formation of the band.
The High and Wides are Marc Dykeman (guitar, vocals), Sam Guthridge (banjo, mandolin, vocals), Nate Grower (fiddle), and Mike Buccino (bass).
Midnight Flyer
Midnight Flyer has been playing traditional bluegrass in and around Philadelphia since 2014. With a new lineup starting in 2023, the band continues to interpret classic bluegrass tunes, old country favorites, and fiddle tunes with the time tested feeling and groove of great string-band music. Well rehearsed vocal performances, side by side with clean, straightforward instrumental picking, give Midnight Flyer’s live shows the energy and soul that no traditional bluegrass fan should have to do without.
Midnight Flyer is Austin Alfano (Guitar), Ben Cocchiaro (Bass/Fiddle), Andy Davis (Banjo), and Matt Hiller (Mandolin/Bass).
