Clare Maloney & The Great Adventure
Clare Maloney & The Great Adventure are bringing the era of windows-down, roadtrip rock & roll straight into the playlist generation. Relix magazine named the band an "Artist You Need to Know" in 2023, calling their debut LP 'Daybreaker' “stunning” and praising its “brilliant vocals, rocking band and polished songwriting.” The album title stands as a sly ode to bandleader Clare Maloney's decade-long battle with writer's block, and triumph over it; night gives way to day, just as the multi-instrumentalist and former opera singer broke through to write over 100 songs in 2021, flawlessly blending rock, alt-country, americana, folk, funk, the great american songbook & more.
Clare’s powerful and emotive vocals are rooted in her early career as a classical singer, performing at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and throughout Europe and Asia. Despite success in the opera world, Clare felt the magnetism of the rock & roll music she grew up on, and daringly transitioned from the classical stage to become a first-call session and touring vocalist, sharing the stage with members of The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Starship, Allman Brothers Band, Hall & Oates and the E Street Band along the way. Since 2018, she has toured as a vocalist, guitarist and flutist with The Englishtown Project, The Airplane Family and Deadgrass & Friends. As a writer, Clare's unique and unmistakable voice is shaped by classical literature, poetry, and the sounds of her native New York – from Tin Pin Alley to CBGB's to Broadway and Brooklyn.
Her electric band, The Great Adventure, features Nate DeBrine, who co-produced Daybreaker, on guitar and vocals, Russ Gottlieb on bass and electric banjo, and Caleb Estey on drums and vocals. The band supported their “Daybreaker” release with a 50-date national tour in 2023. Highlights from their breakout year include openings slots for Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, The Wailers and Bailen, pre-shows for Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Phil Lesh & Friends, and Aimee Mann, and sit ins from members of Goose. Most recently, they opened for The Bacon Brothers featuring actor Kevin Bacon. Their highly anticipated follow up EP, “Reckoning,” is set for release in early 2025 with new songs due out this fall.

John Newhall Band
New York based rising artist John Newhall has already made significant strides in his music career. In November 2023, he committed to his musical ambition by releasing a series of singles. After thousands of streams and numerous live performances, Newhall recognized that he was navigating this journey alone.
In May 2024, he enlisted old friend Joe O’Brien to play percussion at his acoustic gigs. O’Brien, an eclectic drummer, infused his unique style into the music, enhancing Newhall's sound. As they collaborated, they realized their potential was greater together, as both found their life's meaning in music. Soon, they welcomed rock guitar virtuoso Sean Rogers and monster bassist Marco Salazar, who contributes to their live performances. The music dream was now being chased together. In recognition of their collaborative spirit and desire to maintain the momentum Newhall had built, the group adopted the name John Newhall Band.
Since forming, John Newhall Band has performed all around the NY area at venues like Bethel Woods, the historic Woodstock site. They often showcase original compositions crafted by Newhall, O’Brien, and Rogers. All of their unique influences produce a heavy, forward sound unlike anything else.
Looking ahead, the band aims to release more music and expand their influence in the music scene. Follow along as these twenty-somethings chase a dream and give it a real, solid college try.
