MORE ABOUT THE BANDS WE DEEPLY RECCOMMEND ANY DAY OF THE WEEK


BOMBARGO (Canada) -


Bombargo is a Canadian band of brothers known for their infectious blend of funk, soul, rock & roll, unforgettable live performances, and their mission of delivering "The Goodtime Guarantee™" wherever they go.

From surfing on crowds (literally), hanging from the ceiling, or planting seeds of gratitude, there’s only one thing a Bombargo show can guarantee, and that’s a Goodtime. 

Fronted by Nathan Thoen and brother Anthony Thoen (guitar) alongside Spencer Chilliak (guitar), Sammy Lee Folkersen (bass), and Niall Cubbon (drums), Bombargo has built a reputation as one of Canada's most energetic and engaging live acts, combining sing-along anthems, rich harmonies, and groove-driven musicianship into a show that leaves audiences dancing long after the final encore.



COWBOY MOUTH (Louisiana) -


Much like gumbo, the famous dish of their hometown, the New Orleans-born Cowboy Mouth uses a potent blend of musical ingredients - rock, blues, punk, funk, country, pop, soul and whatever else feels good – to create their bodacious, kickass tunes. Frontman, drummer, and co-founder Fred LeBlanc has asserted “if The Neville Brothers and The Clash had a baby, it would be Cowboy Mouth." His description not only reflects the group’s amazing diverse sound, but it also conveys the fire and commitment they bring to their music.


Cowboy Mouth has perfected their wonderfully rambunctious style over the band’s three decades together. During that time, they have sold over a half a million albums domestically, performed before more than 10 million people, and played over 3,000 concerts. These relentless road warriors built their reputation and developed their devoted fan base through powerhouse live performances (frequently averaging 250 gigs a year). “With every show, no matter where it is, we try to turn it into New Orleans during the middle of Mardi Gras,” LeBlanc proclaims. “It's like a southern gospel revival without the religion” – unless your religion is rock ‘n’ roll!

COYOTE ISLAND (Maine) -


Coyote Island is the musical vision of producer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Mike O’Hehir.


For many years Mike travelled the country with guitar in hand collecting sounds and ideas. Upon returning home to Maine, he began the process of pouring his heart into recordings.

With roots in folk music, the sound quickly expanded into a new genre-bending realm of psychedelic indie.

Mike assembled a band of brothers in order to capture the expansive soundscape in a live setting.


From this, Coyote Island was born.

Their live performance has been called both “electric” and “transportive”.

With good vibrations, dancey grooves, and tropical psychedelia, Coyote Island offers you a sonic vacation from the doldrums of existence.

REMEDY TREE (Florida) -


Remedy Tree is a Florida-based Americana band rooted in bluegrass, old-time, and folk traditions. Founded in 2015 by Gabriel and Abigail Acevedo, the group blends Gabriel’s unique perspective - born in Puerto Rico and raised in rural Florida - with Abigail’s deep old-time background.

Together with Nathan Beaumont on mandolin and Isaac Taylor on banjo they create original music that feels both timeless and fresh.

SUNDUB (New York) -


SunDub is a multiracial, multigenerational, family-rooted reggae collective led by powerhouse vocalist Joanna Teters, whose smoky delivery rides over the band’s airtight rhythm section.

Formed in 2013, the New York City-based group blends deep roots reggae with soul influences, delivering uplifting grooves and songs centered on social justice, resistance, and spirituality.


Anchored by a core lineup of Finnegan Singer (guitar), Jose Lopez (guitar), Derrick Bourne (bass), Sidney Mills (vocals/keys formally of Steel Pulse), and siblings Joanna Teters (lead vocals) and Ben Teters (vocals/drums), SunDub has built a reputation for powerful live performances and collaborative recordings.



TAUK (New York) -


TAUK has been painting with sound for nearly a decade now, pushing boundaries and reinventing themselves every chance they get.

Founded by Dolan, Jalbert, and Carter, who began playing together as middle schoolers on Long Island, the band landed on its present incarnation in 2012, when college pal Teel joined full time.


The Washington Post hailed the band’s music as “a hard-charging, often melodic fusion that - thanks to a penchant for improv - offers limitless possibilities,” while Keyboard Magazine declared that their sound “doesn’t adhere to a single genre but, instead, creates its own,” and Relix dubbed them “an incredibly impressive ensemble of talent.”


TAUK crafts an all-instrumental, genre-blending fusion that merges progressive rock, jazz, funk, and hip-hop into melody-driven grooves rich with improvisation. Known for limitless sonic possibilities and immersive live shows, they bridge eras and styles, creating music that resonates across generations.
