Holy Locust
Holy Locust is an American Folk band pushing the boundaries of genre and tradition. With songs ranging from the aggressive and experimental to melodic and anthemic. Their evocative group vocal harmonies ascend over dynamic rhythms and catchy melodies, while orchestral strings pull and wail. Their genre bending sound is as at home in a listening room or theatre as it is underneath a highway overpass or punk house basement. Holy Locust's music is a unique and at times haunting statement of defiance against the exploitation of consumer culture
Hot Damn Scandal
Hot Damn Scandal finds its songs under park benches and in forgotten alleyways, on the corner of Tom Waits and Gershwin. The resulting outlaw ballads, dirty jazz, circus freakouts, shanty-rags, string band funk, lonesome heart-breakers, and whiskey bottle love songs blend together in what may be best described as 'Cabaret Americana': theatrical, orchestral, lyrical, and endlessly danceable.”
Yes Ma'am
Born from the swamps and underpasses of the American South, Yes Ma’am merges Depression Era blues, Jazz and Bluegrass with instrumental virtuosity and the raw, emotional storytelling of early punk rock. Matt’s soulful voice and authentic stage presence have made him a muse for the traveling community and solidified his legendary status as street-corner royalty. His sound has shaped a generation of musicians, whether he’s performing solo or with a rotating ensemble of folk punk’s finest. Yes Ma’am is a force that demands attention.
