Johnny Wad & the Cash

Johnny Wad and the Cash bring what some have referred to as eclectic - others as schizophrenic - and still others as an erotic blend of music styles to the stage in a high energy, high wire fashion.  Each Wad experience leaves audiences shaken if not stirred by the unique blend of  blues, rock and country.

The Bob Halperin Trio

Bob Halperin knows the blues. A remarkably fluent guitarist and singer, Halperin is a disciple of the pure blues tradition.  Halperin’s guitar work is nimble and assured, subtle but also with the right amount of power.  His vocal work has a rich yet slightly “gritty” quality ala Dr. John. The vocals, too, go beyond rote imitation.

--excerpt from a review in The Wire (Portsmouth)

High Range

High Range is a high energy roots/folk/bluegrass group with a long list of rave reviews from national publications.  They highlight original music with a mix of cover songs on guitar, upright bass, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and drums. This is a band you don't want to miss!
