Even though Roomful of Blues’ lineup has changed over the years, the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. Singer Phil Pemberton brings his sweet and soulful vocals and adds another bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump-blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with bassist John Turner, trumpeter Carl Gerhard, drummer Mike Coffey, keyboardist Rusty Scott, baritone and tenor saxophonist Alek Razdan, and tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille, Roomful keeps on rockin’ into 2024!
With a non-stop performance schedule for over 50 years, Roomful of Blues has earned critical, popular and radio success and a legion of fans across the globe.
According to DownBeat magazine, Roomful of Blues “are in a class by themselves.” With their masterful combination of jumping, horn-heavy, hard-edged blues and R&B, it’s no wonder why the great Count Basie called them “the hottest blues band I ever heard.” Since 1967, the group’s deeply rooted blend of swing, rock ‘n’ roll, jump, blues and soul has earned it 5 Grammy Award nominations and a slew of other accolades, including 7 Blues Music Awards and the prestigious DownBeat International Critics Poll for “Best Blues Band”.

Booking: The Moody Blues' John Lodge Sub Booking: Performs Days of Future PassedTommy Prine's debut album This Far South (released 6/23/23) is not only a long-awaited introduction but a testimony to Prine's 20s and the loss, love, and growth that has defined them. Co-produced by a close friend and kindred musical spirit, Ruston Kelly, and beloved Nashville engineer and producer, Gena Johnson, the album is rich and dynamic from cathartic jams to nostalgic storytelling.
"I feel like I've learned more about myself in the last year and a half than I ever have in my life," Prine says. "And I think that speaks a lot to doing something that I'm passionate about. I love and respect the craft. Just hitting the road and doing what so many people before me have done and will continue to do, it's really resonated with me. I think it has transformed me into the person that I am meant to be."
Prine is currently crisscrossing the country playing full band headlining shows as well as festivals. Last year, Prine opened for Tyler Childers on the "Send In The Hounds Tour" and was named one of Amazon Music's 2023 Breakthrough Artists to Watch. He wrapped up 2023 by making his Grand Ole Opry debut in December.
The son of late songwriting legend, John Prine, Tommy Prine grew up in Nashville surrounded by music, art and writing. As a child, he thought all parents were musicians, as his father "going to work" meant performing shows for adoring fans and writing songs. Tommy learned to play guitar by watching his father play, copying the ways his fingers moved and inadvertently developing his own singular style. Summers in Ireland lent their own inspiration, as did 10 straight years camping at Bonnaroo. Prine's musical tastes grew to become decidedly eclectic, spanning John Mayer, Outkast, Bon Iver, the Strokes and more.
It wasn't until Prine reached his mid-twenties, though, that he considered a career of his own in music and began to share with others the songs he wrote in private. His songs were quickly met with excitement and enthusiasm, which sonically brings together a colorful patchwork of musical influences and lyrically explores existential questions and emotional experiences.

Tulsa, Oklahoma band Wilderado have been steadily building a passionate fan base since first forming in the California mountains in 2015. When they initially came together, Max Rainer (lead vocals, guitar), Tyler Wimpee (guitar, vocals) and Justin Kila (drums) spent a summer in Latigo Canyon, a secluded part of Malibu, with longtime Sufjan Stevens collaborator James McAlister, immersing themselves in writing and recording. Those songs went on to form early EP releases with tastemaker indie labels IAMSOUND and National Anthem, garnering tens of millions of streams and providing the backbone to years of touring.
Following early recording sessions at their one-time home and creative space named “The Misty Shrub” (the title of the first EP) in Latigo Canyon (the title of the second EP), the band returned to Tulsa to base themselves from their hometown while touring the US extensively both as headliner and direct support. During some time off from the road in 2020, Wilderado was able to focus on completing their self-titled debut LP.
Wilderado was released in October 2021 via Bright Antenna. As with the EPs, the band worked with producer and friend James McAlister (The National, Sufjan Stevens, Taylor Swift) who was joined this time by Chad Copelin (Broncho, LANY) and Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon). The album went on to produce two top 10 Alternative Radio singles – “Head Right” and “Surefire” – and led to Wilderado’s national and late-night debut TV performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and an AM debut TV performance on CBS Saturday Morning.
In April 2023, Wilderado released their first ever live album Wilderado Live. The 12-track LP featured career spanning songs including hit singles “Surefire” and “Head Right” along with several older songs including “Wheat” and “Morning Light” as well as fan favorite “Rubble to Rubble.” They followed this with their first new music of 2023, the “In Between” single. Produced by McAlister and Copelin and released in August, the song was followed by a live version featuring a few fellow Oklahomans including the folk/Americana artist Ken Pomeroy on vocal and guitar and Muskrat Jones (Colter Wall) on pedal steel and then in October the band released a new version of “In Between” featuring Matt Berninger of The National.
Since first forming, Wilderado crisscrossed the USA a half dozen times playing with artists as diverse as Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie, My Morning Jacket, Mt. Joy, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and have performed on the main stage at such festivals as Lollapalooza, Bottlerock, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits. They also joined alt-J for a successful UK tour in Spring 2022 which quickly led to the band booking their first-ever UK headline tour less than six months later, selling out rooms across England, Scotland, and beyond. In addition, they have accrued 175+ MILLION streams and 3+ MILLION monthly listeners across platforms.
Wilderado is playing the long game. “We want to put out lots of different songs, to spread the spectrum of what our music sounds like, that’s going to give us longevity. We want a career based off of a catalog of great music. A career that we’ve developed through hard work.”

Booking: Wilderado Sub Booking:Fairfield University’s many talented alumni bands played a memorable role in the Fairfield County music scene in the mid-to-late 1980s. Several of those musicians are reuniting for a special concert on June 7, 2024 for Fairfield University’s Reunion Weekend. The concert, open to the public and all Fairfield University alumni, will provide a nostalgic evening of cover music across a variety of genres and generations.
Shelter Pets is a cuddly but untamed rock band comprised of Fairfield U alumni Bill Van Wart ’89, Ben de la Cruz ’89, Peter Bongiorno ’90, and Dennis O’Brien ’88. The Pets are all ex-members of alternative rock band When I Woke, with Van Wart from FU band Broken Bottles and O’Brien an original member of Split Decision.
The Adults, comprised of members of the alumni bands Broken Bottles, Johnny and the Favorites, Mitch & Jim, and Cosmic Embryo, have made music together since 1985. They provide "Adult Entertainment For Kids Who Are Alright," performing a wide range of rock, country, indie, instrumental, and original music. Band members include Bill Conroy ’91, Peter Grennan ’89, Jim Sheridan ’89, Paul Simonetta ’89, and Gene Tiernan ’89.
Johnny and the Favorites members (Peter Bongiorno '90, Michael Fitzgerald '89, Mark Grieco '90, Jim Hannon '89, Kevin Kuryla '88, Brian Machler '87, and Paul Simonetta '89) will reunite to bring their biggest hits of cover music from their college era, from Bruce to The Cure and anything else you might’ve heard on WLIR or WNEW. Let’s go back in time to Club Tip Toe, the Sea Grape, Woods End or the Point, ’cause We’re Having a Party!
Booking: Fairfield University Reunion Concert Sub Booking:Cracker has been described as a lot of things over the years: alt-rock, Americana, insurgent-country, and have even had the terms punk and classic-rock thrown at them. But more than anything Cracker are survivors. Co-founders David Lowery and Johnny Hickman have been at it for over a quarter of a century – amassing ten studio albums, multiple gold records, thousands of live performances, hit songs that are still in current radio rotation around the globe [“Low,” “Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now),” “Euro-Trash Girl” and “Get Off This,” to name just a few], and a worldwide fan base – that despite the major sea-changes within the music industry – continues to grow each year.
Booking: Cracker Sub Booking:Early Elton Trio is a Tribute to the Elton John, Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson trio tours of 1970 - 1972 featuring Jeff Kazee of Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes (piano, vocals), Rich Pagano of The Fab Faux (drums and vocals) and John Conte of Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes (bass and vocals). Since its inception, the Early Elton Trio show is playing to capacity audiences in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut tri-state area.
As the story goes, Elton's label didn't have the funds to send him out to tour the US with a full band yet Elton needed to promote his imminent releases. Having decided on Dee and Nigel, Elton then rearranged the songs and vocals to fit within the limitations of his new lineup. Suddenly, a new sound emerged that was both raw and poignant.
While Jeff, John and Rich have painstakingly scoured the net for rare video, bootleg recordings and even Elton's own home demos in shaping their collective vision of Elton's Trio Period, they blur the line slightly between replication and innovation -- while still capturing and utilizing the spirit, mood and energy from those early tours.
The Gospel/Funk of "Take Me To The Pilot", the soulful storytelling of "Levon" and "Amoreena", the epic-sounding "Indian Sunset" and "Burn Down The Mission", the countrified "Country Comfort" and the grand scale of "Madman Across The Water" are just a few of the fantastic chapters that make up the Early Elton songbook. The band has also been known to perform Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across The Water and the live concert, 11 - 17 - 70 in their entireties.
Early Elton Trio is dedicated to continuing the spirit of this period-arguably, his finest in terms of material, production and performance.
Booking: Early Elton Trio Sub Booking:A master lyricist and satirical storyteller, John Hiatt delivers songs filled with tales of redemption, relationships and surrendering on his own terms.

His lyrics and melodies have graced more than 20 studio albums, have been recorded by Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and scores of others, and have earned him a place in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, a BMI Troubadour award, and a lifetime achievement in songwriting designation from the Americana Music Association.

The Heavy Heavy create the kind of unfettered rock-and-roll that warps time and place, immediately pulling the audience into a euphoric fugue state with its own sun-soaked atmosphere. Led by lifelong musicians Will Turner and Georgie Fuller, the Brighton, UK-based band began with a shared ambition of “making records that sound like our favorite records ever,” and soon arrived at a reverb-drenched collision of psychedelia and blues, acid rock, and sunshine pop. As revealed on their gloriously hazy debut EP Life and Life Only, The Heavy Heavy breathe an incandescent new energy into sounds from decades ago, transcending eras with a hypnotic ease.
The Guardian deemed the band “one to watch” and praised their “thrillingly instinctive retro rock;” NME listed them as an Essential Emerging Artist for 2023. The Heavy Heavy appeared on national television on CBS Saturday Morning, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Their single “Miles & Miles” reached the top 5 of the Billboard AAA and Americana Radio Charts. The band also landed high-profile placements, such as Netflix’s popular series Outer Banks. ATO Records released an expanded version of their EP Life and Life Only in March 2023, which includes harmony-laden covers of Father John Misty’s “Real Love Baby, CSNY’s “Guinnevere,” and Jonathan Wilson’s “Desert Raven.”

Explore the depths of Americana "one trippy tune at a time" with New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams. Voted "Best Band" by NY’s Chronogram Magazine for their rootsy, rockin’ psychedelia, the Slambovians' deep connection with audiences and exciting live shows are legendary. Musical influences of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett, and The Waterboys can be heard, yet the Slambovians' musicianship and critically acclaimed songwriting stand on their own. Joziah (the resident shaman of Slambovia), leads with vocals described as "soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic.” Longtime bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and guitarist/mandolin wizard Sharkey McEwen bring their magic to the Slambovian brew with “a little help from their friends” - RJ McCarty (keys, bass, sax), Bob Torsello (bass), and Matthew Abourezk (drums). This Woodstock-tinged psychedelia has a hint of southern rock and British folk combined with solid songwriting - a slice of Americana pie that is irresistible! The band’s latest studio release, A Very Unusual Head is considered to be “their finest work to date,” according to Rock’n’Reel Magazine, UK. The Waterboys’ Anthony Thistlethwaite is featured on A Very Unusual Head, and singer-songwriter Dar Williams, who also covers the Slambovians’ “Sullivan Lane” on her latest album.
Booking: The Slambovian Circus of Dreams Sub Booking:Amidst a sea of musical artists, Connecticut-based singer-songwriter Drew Angus stands apart thanks to his soul-stirring vocal talents. With indelible hooks, savvy craftsmanship, and relatable lyrics, he brings a certain verve to his work that resonates with audiences and fellow performers alike.
Drew found his love for music growing up in a house filled with the sounds of artists like Tom Petty, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. He's influenced by these classic rock sounds mixed with artists of today like Ben Rector, The Lone Bellow, and John Mayer. Drew's music is heartfelt, nostalgic, clever, and catchy, with vocal fireworks and harmonies that will give you the shivers. He describes it as the intersection of Americana and Rock 'n Roll with a little bit of Funk and Retro Soul.
His work ethic and captivating nature have led him down some pretty amazing paths. Drew has shared stages with Stevie Nicks, Noah Kahan, Zach Bryan, Harry Styles, Nile Rogers (on SNL), Pat Benatar, Ann Willson of Heart, and Andrea Bocelli (on Live with Kelly & Ryan) and has toured with Marc Broussard. The quickly-rising artist is rapidly gaining a following with his lively performances and soulful singing.
Drew is one to watch. Plus, he's got great hair.

Doug James, standing on his porch nearby, heard the puppy’s cries and ran to help. He scared away the thugs and at the request of Gucci’s 15-year-old runaway owner, took the dog in for the night. Thus began a 16-year odyssey of devotion and perseverance. Together with local legislators, Doug and Gucci would see the “Gucci Bill” passed, changing the laws in Alabama, making domestic animal abuse a felony. Gucci would go from being a survivor to a rock star, the face of animal abuse in the south. And together they proved one voice can make a difference and that justice really is a dog’s best friend.

Today, David Ryan Harris is internationally recognized for playing guitar and singing in John Mayer’s band from 2004-2012.

Booking: Scary Pockets Sub Booking: Pockets Presents: DAVID RYAN HARRISProud to be firmly installed in the new-funk movement, KUNG FU is quickly popularizing their unique sonic contribution, blurring the line between intense electro-fusion, and blistering dance arrangements. Making fusion music "cool" again, the band draws on influences such as early Headhunters and Weather Report, and merges those ideas with a contemporary EDM informed sensibility. Imagine 70's funk-fusion meets a modern dance party!
Booking: Kung Fu Sub Booking:Since the 70s when he burst onto the London scene, Graham Parker has been slinging a signature sound across continents and airwaves that has rightly earned him a spot in the pantheon of truly original and influential figures in rock and roll. His early days with his band the Rumour (with whom he has two albums in Rolling Stone's 1987 "Top 100 Albums of All Time") Graham coupled punk's energy with his deeply rooted love of American R&B, country, and soul music. The band built a reputation as an incendiary live act, as well. He's got a snotty barroom brawler's rasp and sneer, a soul man's swagger, and an ear for indelible pop songcraft.

By the age of 12, he had played his guitar on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Oprah Winfrey Show and the Jimmy Kimmel Show. By the age of 18, he had shared stages with such guitar greats as Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Carlos Santana, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr. and Jimmy Vaughn. His latest music supports Buddy Guy's statement, “Players like Quinn come along once in a lifetime.”
With an unwavering commitment to his art and his fans, Quinn is poised to deliver a series of performances that will be a testament to his growth, his experiences, and the heartfelt passion that drives his every note. A must-see experience for any fan of electric blues young and old.
QUOTES:
“Some may remember Quinn Sullivan as the young guitar prodigy showcasing his uninhibited skill on the Ellen show at age five. Others may know him as the young man up onstage with the greats at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival at MSG. What they may not know is that Sullivan is now 24 years old, playing original music and on-brand covers across the country, delivering strong, mature vocals and striking, technical guitar solos. When he goes for the solos, a small smile begins to form as he places one foot on the amp in front of him, leans forward, closes his eyes, and lets the music wash over him. He is in his element.” — Atwood Magazine
Booking: Quinn Sullivan Sub Booking:Leo Kottke has earned a reputation as a premier finger-picker, slide master, and 12-string virtuoso. Known for adding a bit of humor and troubadour-style storytelling to his live performances, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to experience Kottke in the intimate setting of StageOne.
Technically and tool-wise, Leo Kottke belongs in the subculture of (mostly) instrumental steel-string guitarists of a loosely progressive folk nature. But the tools don’t make — or tightly define — this musician, a blissfully odd man out in the guitar scene for the past 50 years. Kottke has defined his own school of cool. Along with John Fahey and Robbie Basho, Leo Kottke was one of the most influential acoustic guitarists to emerge in the 60s, bringing a unique sound and virtuosic flourishes to the instrument. Although he has also recorded as a singer/songwriter, it's the propulsive fingerstyle playing of his solo instrumental work that has cemented his reputation as a true innovator.

From the depths of ethereal indie-folk, Caroline Rose’s latest album The Art Of Forgetting sees her at her most tuned-in and at her most honest. From the very first synth note triggered, the album is a hazy, hum-drum psychedelic soundscape bolstered with big Björkenergy... and an even bigger grandeur to the type of confessional honesty we've not seen present enough in her past work. Their breathy vocals sit right up front in the mix so listeners can hear every single ache and pain in the lyrics. The arrangements balance clean 70s pop with dramatic 00s arena pop, thanks to a prodigious amount of pianos and synths. However, there’s plenty of teeth in the tunes, thanks to regular infusions of fuzzy guitars, silky string sections, quirky bass runs, and trip-hop beats.

Joshua Radin emerged in 2004 as an empathetic, engaging, and often enthralling troubadour. Over the years, he’s tallied north of 1 billion streams, moved 1 million-plus albums worldwide, and scored a gold certification for the single “I’d Rather Be With You.” His music has appeared in over 200 films, television series, and commercials. In addition to multiple showstopping appearances on Ellen (who also enlisted him to perform at her wedding) and Today Show, and performances on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, and Conan, he contributed “Brand New Day” to a commercial in support of the troops at the request of First Ladies Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden.

Thus far his catalog consists of nine full-length offerings highlighted by fan favorites such as We Were Here, Simple Times, Underwater, Wax Wings, and Here, Right Now.
Following the release of his 2021 acclaimed album The Ghost and The Wall, Joshua left his material existence in the rearview, grabbed a backpack, packed his guitar, picked up a pen and a pad, hit the road in search of new stories to tell. Those stories comprise though the world will tell me so, volumes one & two which were released in 2023
Booking: Joshua Radin Sub Booking:Husband and wife duo Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, better known as Shovels & Rope, create timeless Americana music with an exhilarating edge. Inspired as much by the Cramps as Woody Guthrie, the dynamic duo became an overnight sensation with the release of their 2012 debut O’ Be Joyful, earning them high praise from fans and critics alike (as well as the Americana Music Honors & Awards’ prize for Best Emerging Artist). Since then, Shovels & Ropes have exceeded the lofty expectations set by their debut by releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums, as well as creating an award-winning documentary, a series of children’s books, and much more.
Booking: Shovels & Rope Sub Booking:There was no one like the American singer Willy DeVille. From CBGB Latin punk to New Orleans soul singer to the premiere voice of American roots music on the continent of Europe for three decades, he was arguably the most original, most romantic artist of his time, writing and performing the Academy Award-nominated theme to the movie The Princess Bride. No one inhabited as many musical styles and personas, and everything about him was a work of art. Yet almost no one knows anything about him, where he came from or who he loved. How could he fly under the radar for 35 years yet leave so much we do know in his path? A new documentary, Heaven Stood Still: The Incarnations of Willy DeVille, presents DeVille as an important but underappreciated artist, highlighting his achievements and career frustrations. Its talking heads—Sting, Mark Knopfler, the late Ben E. King, Peter Wolf, producers Jack Nitzsche and the late Hal Willner, and one former Talking Head, drummer Chris Frantz—offer insightful commentary.
Q&A With Director Larry Locke after the film.

Naked Truth is steeped in the folk-blues traditions of Muddy Waters, Skip James, Son House, Robert Johnson, and even Leo Kottke. “This is a record I’ve always wanted to make and one that my longtime fans have been asking for,” he says, noting he’s included an acoustic mini-set in his concert performances for years.

With her deeply emotional music, Longley has earned accolades from some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition.
Her self-titled debut album received critical acclaim, being described as “something more; a cleverness, a wit and a mix of musical styles” (Dallas Morning News) and “stunning” (HuffPost). Her follow up album Weightless, released in 2016, was praised as “a thing of beauty” (Pop Dose) and “packed with instantly memorable pop rock songs…” (Popmatters).
The Berklee College of Music grad worked alongside 5-time Grammy-nominated producer, Paul Moak, on her much awaited sixth album, Funeral For my Past. The journey of her self-release made music industry headlines when her devoted fanbase raised over $150,000 to help her purchase the rights to and independently release the album. Longley became the #4 most funded solo female musician in Kickstarter history - a story covered by Billboard Magazine.
Embraced by the press and music fans alike, Funeral For My Past was described as a “…stunning new album!” (Forbes), “…from Americana to gospel-flavored soul to shimmering pop anthems” (Billboard), and included in “100 Albums Released in 2020 to Put on Your Radar” (Newsweek). The Nashville-based musician has found a loving give-and-take with listeners: Longley shares her music with the world, enriching fans’ lives, and in return, they provide her with the means necessary for her to make music on her own terms.
