ROCK & ROLL, GINGER SOUL, & JERSEY TWANG
New Jersey-born, Brooklyn-based band Mojohand have been writing rockin, country-soul-soaked songs and playing them in every bar, backyard, and basement willing to have them for the past seven years. Their energetic and melodic brand of rock & roll, ginger soul, and Jersey twang has won over crowds from coast to coast.
For their third studio LP “Dungarees”, Mojohand locked themselves in the live room at Business District Recording in Johnson City, NY and let the tape roll on a vintage 4-track ampex machine. The result is a timeless album that evokes the thousands of late nights onstage refining their raucous style and infectious songs, and the countless miles they’ve traveled together in their van chasing down the same promises that rock & roll has made with its fingers crossed for generations and generations.
The first single from Dungarees, “Santa Fe” is a melodic and laid back travelogue inspired by some of Mojohand’s less-glamorous nights on the road. “Santa Fe” showcases Mojohand’s knack for synthesizing their love of classic country-rock and southern-soul records into timeless bites of ear-candy.

R & B, Neo Jazz Fusion
SUN.DYLE is a Fort Wayne, Indiana based 5-piece ensemble that radiates the warmth of jazz, the enchanting vibes of neo-soul, and the rhythmic heartbeats of R&B. Hailing from diverse musical backgrounds, the members of SUN.DYLE converge to create a harmonious blend of genres that persuades the listener to feel, think and transcend.
R&B as it was - the Blues of the Great Bluesmen - Americana as it lives & breathes. Rocky & the Wranglers entertain the music-lovin' young folks of the mighty Midwest with music that is tried, true, & topical.
Roy & John have been playing together for decades, joined by an ever-growing list of luminaries, currently including Joe Giels on drums; Gian Vianello on bass; and Bob Horridge at the keyboards, bringing a wealth of musical talent to every gig. Aside from Roy’s original songs, featured over five albums released in England, the Wranglers feature rock n roll from the fifties, garage rock from the sixties, Dylan and Americana from the seventies, and great Blues and dance music from across the years.
The band has played with many of the Blues' brightest stars: Johnnie Johnson, Oliver Sain, Willie Akins, Chuck Berry, Robbie Montgomery, & Barbara Carr, whose incendiary duets with Roy & the Morning Show Band are still fondly remembered.
Onda Brasileira is a duo founded by violinist Susan Gottschall and percussionist Dave Clark playing classic Brazilian samba, choro, bossa nova, and forro repertoire by artists like Tom Jobim, Ary Barroso, Caetano Veloso, Dominguinhos, Jacob do Bandolim, and others.
“Kirchhoff is the dynamic voice of Miss Jubilee, a name that has been synonymous with blues & hot jazz in St. Louis for a decade. The piano/vocal core of the group is what drives the sound. Pianist Ethan Leinwand is an excellent barrelhouse blues piano player nestled in the cradle of ragtime. Kirchhoff’s excellent rhythmic vocalization transforms old blues songs into something fresh and relatable. Her voice is an instrument, her impeccable timing guiding the band and getting right down in the ensemble mix.”

Outlaw Rock Country
Prone to the fiery attitude of indie punk rockers and body surfers this music is a raw shot through the soul that’s not missing any bones of drunken amphetamine induced reality. These guys consciously hit farther into the raw cornering attitudes of rebellious country music. Their ‘matter of fact’ rockgrass style dawns the likes of ratrod jackets and Dead Kennedys shirts while footed up with Jack Purcells. Hailing from the Midwestern United States their evident diversity has taken them from performing melodies with Mickey Gilley to an all stage rock fury with Reverend Horton Heat and two international tours. A ‘UK’ fan described. “The Bob band has a lyrical skill of spinning a dark and twisting yarn with the raucous heavy playing and energy of a pub-brawl.” Noted by news journals to have “a live show of music passion so unexpected, it’s seen to be harmoniously epic.” Maverick Magazine Europe described them as “an outfit that knows how to balance energetic songs with emotionally created tunes which impress continually. They are a song writing gem.”
