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

Calloway Ritch’s gritty and bluesy guitar work adds a distinct texture and sophisticated humbleness. Add the dynamic rhythm section of Paul Castagno and Ron Pifer to the mix, and you have a sound that is as indefinable as it is intriguing. With the release of their new record, “Beyond This Life”, the band has reached new heights sonically with an array of musical styles interwoven throughout the album.

 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 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)
