 The Cold Roses will have to reschedule do to an injured drummer taking down a vilian attempting to stop people from getting their Milk Sandwiches at the local grocery store.   The Cold Roses deliver a rock and roll infused, ( * )folk-pop sound with an indie music vibe that owes as much to classic favorites like Neil Young and R.E.M. as it does to new alt-country rockers like Ryan Adams, Band of Horses and My Morning Jacket. Without straying too far from the “3 to 4 minute” pop song formula, The Cold Roses add ( ** )a melodic richness and complexity to their songs that goes beyond the self-limiting three-chord standard. The band’s songs have been described as thought provoking with a ( * )slight melancholy vibe but offer an ( ** )importance of dynamics, emotional resonance, and personal urgency! ( * , ** ) paraphrase * – Dan Armonaitis For the Herald-Journal ** – Steve Shanafelt for Spartanburg Spark.

 Bands in the southeastern United States have caused a resurgence in regionalism during the past decade or so. Sweet Six Bullets, an up and coming rock sextet from the podunk town of Belton, South Carolina, feel they are up to the task of pushing the idea of regionalism to the limit. Culled from many years of living in a rural town that served as ground zero for field parties and bottles aimed directly at road signs, SSB take their big sound from the small front lines.

While other bands in upstate South Carolina may try to dodge the southern rock label, the guys behind SSB could care less. If southern rock means things get loud, dirty, and entertaining, then SSB happily fit that bill. They are southern and they play rock music. If their fans labeled their band dogshit and still listened and loved it, SSB would be happy to smear that label all over their drum kits and guitars.

Jones For Revival formed in 2004. Ever since the beginning the band’s goal has been to re-introduce the improvisational aspect of music into groovy, upbeat tunes that audiences of all ages could enjoy. Throughout the journey the band has strengthened their ability to project a positive vibe to their listeners and has gained a following of loyal fans who share the same musical understanding and appreciation as they do.

Jones has worked with many quality acts such as Keller Williams, Buckethead, Tea Leaf Green, BoomBox, The Zen Tricksters, The Bridge, Ekoostik Hookah, and Blue Oyster Cult. The band also has their own annual music festival – JONESFEST – held at Ohio’s famous Nelson Ledges Quarry Park.

Jones For Revival’s live show captures the audiences attention. From the double sax solo’s to the mind bending guitar improvisation music lovers can’t help but groove to the unique sounds.

These guys have been up and down the east coast playing large venues and have recently been added to the Wild Wing circuit.  Calm and Collective was influenced by many types of music. Ranging from reggae,blues,jazz ,and twist of soul our music is our own and thats what makes us so original.Each of our members provide there own unique technique which gives us our musical magic.(MESH)

Since its inception by Drew Carman and Dylan Solise in early 2006, The Corduroy Road has melded bluegrass, Americana, folk rock, and old-time country with the rawest of live performances. The two, born and raised in the Central Kentucky Bluegrass Region where they learned their craft, now reside in the musical gem of the southeast: Athens, GA.

With the addition of John Cable on drums, Elijah NeeSmith on bass, and Cameron Thomas on electric guitar, The Corduroy Road quickly gained a reputation in Athens as an up and coming band on the scene after sharing the stage with such notable bands including The Avett Brothers, Paleface, The Packway Handle Band, Ian Thomas, Langhorne Slim, Trampled by Turtles and more.  http://www.myspace.com/thecorduroyroad

“The chatty banjo, rolling harmonies, the acoustic guitar and melodic, Southern vocals are the name of the game for the Athens quartet. The music is so damn, well comfy, that the quaint country and roots music peppered with folk rock sounds warmly familiar.”
-Creative Loafing

“An aggressive touring schedule, emotive songwriting, and the band’s commitment to performing down home, honest music has established The Corduroy Road as a buzzworthy band on the indie roots rock scene.”
-Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine

Come out to continue St. Patty’s Day on Friday March 19th with the Donovan and Jami Show. As seen on Scene on 7 with Kimberly Kelly, these guys are no strangers to the music scene in both the Carolinas.  Donovan, now back from Nashville after recording tracks with Todd Snider, is releasing samples of his work, much like musical foreplay, to get you ready for the final cut. Jameson continues to bring his soulful and acoustic driven sounds from Miles Davis to Johnny Cash.

Kenneth Wright moved to Nashville, TN, almost twelve years ago, to sing and write songs like so many others before him. “Making it” wasn’t as important as making a difference on the musical landscape of Music City. The South Carolina native approached his career the only way he knew how to approach anything…by going to work.  Over the past twelve years, Wright’s band has changed with a long list of players considered Hostile Witnesses. What doesn’t change is the music. According to The Rage, “It’s black label blues.” The Scene compares him to Delbert McClinton. If you haven’t caught Kenneth and The Hostile Witnesses there are plenty of opportunities. He plays regularly in Nashville at B.B. Kings and Bailey’s on Broadway. Check him out and be ready for a great time.
He was the Grand Marshall for the SC Peach Festival this past summer. Now he’s back  from Nashville for afew days to get back to his home town roots.  Kenneth will be backed by his long time friend David “Shag” Stepp and the Back Alley Blue Band here this saturady night.

We are a no-frills quartet. We are what you hear — the music, with many influences. The lyrics are thoughtful and sometimes quirky. From the touch of bluegrass in ABDUCTED to the grunge of DON’T BE QUIET to the beauty of JIMI. We’ve never been overly worried if you liked the music or not because if we didn’t like it, how could we put it out there? We enjoy performing live with energy, humor, theater and activism. Hope you’ll give the songs a listen. Take care, World. Video Link object>
