Band Bios '08

Kilimanjaro - Vermont supergroup, the Jazz "alter-ego " of the Unknown Blues Band, recently recorded new compositions for the Discover Jazz fest in Burlington, which they sold out.

LeVent du Nord - This Quebecois quartet continues to make some of the most infectiously beautiful recordings on the market - the slightly crooked rhythms, the call-and-response vocals, the heartbreakingly beautiful melodies will all be familiar to fans of this particular tradition, but there are Breton influences in there as well, and when they break into sudden tight vocal harmony the effect is both unusual and thrilling.

Ryan Shupe & The Rubber Band - This group is known for its ability to stretch out musically in all directions, pinging back and forth with a joyful spontaneity most bands could barely imagine, let alone achieve.

Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad - "formed in Rochester, New York in 2001 and have been touring relentlessly ever since. They combine every body-moving rhythm they can get their hands on including reggae, dub, and afrobeat. The group can get both introspective and let loose and just jam out."- breakthruradio

Pie Boys Flat - hit the NYC music scene in 2003 with their unique blend of Reggae, Blues, and Funk. Laced with soaring three-part harmonies, their music is the manifestation of a many year friendship and collective musical intuition.

Enter The Haggis - is a self-described fusion of "rock, bluegrass, traditional Celtic fare, agitpop, folk, even Latin flavors." With the bands many different instruments they are sure to keep you dancing through the whole concert.

Josh Cramoy Band - is band out of lake Placid and is an eclectic blend of acoustic, hard rock and energized jazz-rock. This band has a way of captivating the audience with its songs, which are further driven by a provoking voice.
