The Maynard Brothers Band based in Johnsonville, NY, is a blues-based, roadhouse-rock group. As their name indicates, the trio consists of the brother tandem of Erv and Jeff Maynard anchored by percussionist Harold Clutch Reiser the brother-from-another-mother. Erv pens most of the music and lyrics and handles all the guitars while brother Jeff The Throat Maynard belts out the vocals and plays bass. Their strengths lie in Jeff's dynamic vocal delivery of some witty, well-crafted lyrics.

Jumpin' Juba mixes regional blues from Chicago, Memphis and New Orleans together with roots-y rock & roll, jazz, calypso, and Latin flavors. It features Steve Hurl (guitars, vocal), whose playing draws from the great acoustic blues finger-pickers, and from the blues-y string benders of the 1950's. Bruce Ward's burly piano work recalls such greats as Prof. Longhair, Otis Spann, and Albert Ammons. The band's two CD releases (Bumpity Bump and Slap Happy) have received regional and overseas airplay, and have garnered many favorable reviews in MA and beyond.

Grey & Greene was produced by rockabilly veteran and multi-instrumentalist James Intveld, with original songs written by Americana/alt-country star Grey DeLisle (three co-written by Intveld), and showcases the vocal talents of DeLisle and Les Greene, who Grey befriended in 2024 when they did a Christmas song together called “I Don’t Want Nothing” that sparked a desire to collaborate further. Some folks know Greene from his incendiary vocals as Little Richard in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, or from his captivating performances on American Idol’s Season 16, but his bread and butter is his own Les Greene and the Swayzees. This high-octane outfit bring their own take on soul and R&B-flavored rock n’ roll with performances that regularly leave audiences with jaws dropped, in a daze from Greene’s otherworldly talent.
Pairing that powerhouse with Americana sweetheart DeLisle guarantees something special. The duo trade off vocal duties throughout the record on tracks like “Shake That Thing,” “Go Go Go,” and “Home Wrecker,” the latter a clever reimagining of DeLisle’s 2002 classic. Here, Greene steps into the title role, reimagining the character into a “devil in some tight leather,” in place of the original vixen who was a “devil in a tight sweater.”
The flavors of classic country, blues, rockabilly, Brill Building pop and soul create something for everybody, and one can easily imagine DeLisle & Greene’s set at Stagecoach and Coachella, the Grand Ol’ Opry and South x Southwest, Boots in the Park and your local hipster bar jukebox. We all wanna shake that thang, and DeLisle and Greene give us all the infectious inspiration to do it.
There are tender moments as well. Ballads like “I’m Gonna Let You Call Me Baby,” “Mariposa,” (featuring Deke Dickerson on guitar) and “That’s All” allow the beauty and uniqueness of these voices to shine. Anyone nursing a recent heartbreak might want to skip “That’s All”—or, alternatively, put it on endless repeat. Greene’s gorgeous, desperate pleas are the perfect showcase for those remarkable pipes.

The album "Truth of the Matter" is A soulful blend of blues and jazz with an appealing pop edge.
Over the last 25 years, Dave Kellan has rocked the country coast-to-coast. With a devoted fan base in his hometown of Midland, MI, Dave is now one of the most hardworking live musicians in the greater New York area. Since 2000, Dave has released 5 independent full-length albums of original material. The first album was with the band, "Gutbucket". The day the first album was released the band was already sharing the Salt River Blues Festival stage with the likes of international blues icons Joe Bonamassa. Gutbucket then was cutting their teeth by doing demos for RCA for the soul singer Robert Bradley. The second album was "Open Up", a self-produced demo of Dave playing guitar, bass and singing all the harmonies himself. In 2003, Dave came out with "Truth of the Matter" which showed an intelligent mix of rock, jazz, folk and blues. Dave won Mid-Michigan Idol from a Citadel/Epic Records contest in 2002 which led to him opening for various national acts such as Uncle Kracker and Bowling for Soup. Dave has won 20+ awards from Review: In 2005, Dave won four Review awards (best solo artist, best blues and rock songwriter, blues band deserving wider recognition) at the Review ceremonies in Saginaw, Michigan; and in 2006 he won best male vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and instrumentalist. Dave's fourth CD, "Rounder than the Sound", features special guests Larry McCray and platinum selling Verve Pipe drummer Donny Brown. The tracks show an array of Dave Kellan's catchy style. In Dec 2011, a long-awaited album was released with the powerful Michigan rock trio Gutbucket. This has proved to be some of Dave Kellan's most prolific guitar work to date and "Gutbucket" was getting rave reviews on a global scale. It is now available on itunes and cd.baby.com
Dave's powerful style has now evolved into a soulful mix of pop, rock, blues and jazz/funk that will soon be taking his larger band on the festival circuit in the U.S. and abroad.
Dave is the lead vocalist/guitarist in HOURGLASS, the James Taylor tribute band and coincidentally lives in Saint James, NY!

Musicians:
John F. Klaver - guitar, vocals;
Nicole Verouden - vocals;
Tenny Tahamata - bass;
Peter Weissink -drums.

No matter the backdrop, sunrises and sunsets always have an alluring charm. The cover of "Catch The Morning Sun" is no exception.There have also been some lineup changes in the John F. Klaver Band. Tenny Tahamata (formerly of Link, Julian Sas) is now on bass. Furthermore, the bandleader has passed the lead vocals to Nicole Verouden, though not entirely, as John F. Klaver still takes over on some tracks. Nevertheless, Nicole Verouden brings a fresh dimension to the album. While John F. Klaver is known for his wide range of blues styles, this album somehow conveys a different dimension, and not just because of the new singer.... Those who are busy catching the morning sun are, in common parlance, the early bird that catches the worm, and for the listener, the album is something like a carpe diem in seven tracks, all written by the protagonist except for the interpretations of "Gonna Move" (Paul Peña) and "Shelter" (D.R. Harris, S. Tedeschi, D. Trucks). The bandleader clearly had many moments brimming with brilliant ideas, as all his compositions capture the listener's attention.The review of "Catch The Morning Sun" must begin with the opener, "There Will Be A Day," because Nicole Verhouden sings, and one is easily captivated by her voice. She initially takes center stage, but on a second listen, the interplay between the acoustic six-string and the slided electric guitar emerges. Furthermore, the solo incorporates Southern influences. The singer's authentic voice is also reflected in the backing vocals. The first three and a half minutes showcase the new brilliance of the John F. Klaver Band.And that's not all; there are six more tracks to go.The master guitarist himself sings the title track, "Catch The Morning Sun." Inviting, powerful riffs accompany us all the way to the end of the song, and, of course, he demonstrates his skill on the six strings of his instrument. His vocals are anything but whiny.The album also proves that for this artist, who also plays with Phil Bee's Freedom, stagnation is clearly a foreign concept. "Funny Way Of Showing It"—again featuring Nicole Verouden on vocals—oscillates between fusion, blues, and funk, culminating in an infectiously seductive chorus. Fantastic! The two cover songs contain a strong original element, and "Gonna Move" deserves special mention in this regard.In "Learned A Lot," a slow blues flows from the speakers, and here Nicole Verouden's voice truly blossoms. Beautiful! John F. Klaver evolves throughout this song from a gentle guitarist to a psychedelic agitator with a hard-hitting bass line. "Learned A Lot" is a highlight, followed by "Rollin' Away," where you can perfectly drift along on the waves of blues rock with a few skillful maneuvers.John F. Klaver 2017: New band, new songs, and with "Catch The Morning Sun," the direction of his success hasn't changed one iota. However, it's about time the x- and y-axes were extended.

Through the years Sweet Daddy has developed a loyal European following in Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, and Austria. Touring overseas for the past twenty years. Back home,the band toured regularly up and down the East Coast and Mid West until 2008. The fall of the economy in 2008 took S.D.C.B. off the road in the states. With two girls in collage a full time job was needed. Fast forward to 2018 and Sweet Daddy looks forward to continuing to work at a successful Blues career which has already spanned over thirty five years. He's recorded with the likes of Matt Guitar Murphy from the Blues Brothers, Jaimoe, drummer for the Allman Brothers, Ken Johnson drummer for James Cotton, Kenny Neal. Wally has also worked with John Kay (Founder & Lead Singer of Steppenwolf ) recording a DVD titled John Kay & Friends Live at The Renaissance Center. He's shared the stage with blues legends Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, KoKo Taylor, Junior Wells, Taj Mahal and BO Diddlie . Sweet Daddy's smoking lead vocals, full-bodied harmonica, and soulful saxophone along with Mark Easton's explosive Guitar add up to an unprecedented high energy Blues show that few bands can match. It's only a matter of time until people in cities and towns across America repeat the words spoken by the eighty-year-old trucker whose phrase gave rise to the bands name: Lawd have mercy, Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze is in town.

"Randy Volin was born in the late 60's in Detroit Michigan and his first memory memory of becoming hooked on music started the night the Beatles debuted on the Ed Sullivan Shoe. . For some reason he still doesn't quite comprehend, Randy became totally enthralled with music, especially the Blues, but he didn't learn how to play an instrument until 1971. After Jimi Hendrix died, Randy bought his first guitar, a used Fender Jaguar, and within 2 years he had acquired his first gig as a bass player. In 1977, Randy landed a record contract with A&M records with his band The Look, and toured extensively while releasing three albums.
In 1986, Randy finally went back to his roots, and dedicated his life as a player to the Blues. From 1986 till now, Randy has played in the Tri State area of Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio continuously, while releasing 3 solo CDs. He has played with and opened for artists such as Joe Cocker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Wilbert Harrison, Lazy Lester, Eddie Money, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Albert King, BB King, Lonnie Brooks, Cheap Trick, Steve Marriott, John Mellencamp, Little Anthony, Detroit Royalty... Mitch Ryder, Johnny Bee Badanjek, and Jimmy McCarty, The Kinks, Greg Kihn, Peter Frampton, April Wine, Sonny Landreth, Johnny Johnson, John Mayall, Jeff Healy, Hubert Sumlin, J. Geils, Kirk Fletcher, Jimmy Vivino and many, many others. Randy is a self-confessed gear head and you'll quickly discover that Randy also has an envious stash of some of the most desirable vintage gear ever made.
Now living in Los Angeles, Randy is once again, doing his 'thang', Detroit style. He's been doing session work, recording, writing, rehearsing, being called to play with other artist or bands, while doing his own material too.

Blue Cat Groove is a collection of four award-winning veteran musicians based in Worcester, Mass., who deliver their own brand of rock-flavored rhythm-and-blues. Assembled two years ago and led by guitarist Samuel Bowen, the band has become a regional favorite at clubs and festivals, and just missed out on 2015 Band Of The Year honors in awards sponsored by Limelight Magazine, the web-based entertainment publication that covers the entire New England region.The unit is fronted by vocalist Kimberly Hodgens-Smith, a Nashville native, who possesses a dynamic alto voice. She was formerly a member of Crossfire, the Southern rock band based in Knoxville, Tenn., and is a founding member of Trophies Of Grace. Bowen doubles on electric and acoustic guitars. They’re backed by a rhythm section of Jeff “The Doctor” Oosterman on bass and Ohio native Vinnie “Cleveland” Depolo on drums, and all three of the men contribute backing vocals. Alan Handel makes a guest appearance on guitar for one cut. A follow-up to their debut eponymous release, Too Much Talk was produced by Bowen, who composed all of the originals. Not to be confused with a tune with a similar title that appeared in the Sylvester Stallone film, The Expendables, “Sinners Prayer,” a new number with a decidedly rock edge, kicks off the action. A simple four-note guitar hook repeats throughout as Kimberly belts out a request for mercy if she’s done anyone wrong. The same statement holds true for the next number, “Power Of Love,” which isn’t the Frankie Goes To Hollywood hit, but an original with a syncopated backbeat. A stripped-down, slow tempo cover of the T-Bone Walker chestnut “Stormy Monday” provides an aural break from the two rockers before it. Kimberly’s sultry delivery is smooth and behind the beat. It precedes the album’s cover tune, “Too Much Talk,” a complaint about a lover who can’t feel the world turning under his feet. It’s the first number on the disc that allows Bowen room to stretch out on the strings. Kimberly’s Nashville roots are on display during the tender “Heaven Rain Down,” a medium shuffle about a woman who needs help – and needs it now. “Small Things” is an acoustic blues ballad about the problems we face in a world where tiny mistakes can create big problems for folks who have both faith and belief in everything you say. The theme continues in “Is It Safe,” which flows over a tasty, but simple minor-key guitar hook as it questions whether or not a lover is lying when the singer’s perceptions are blinded by love.“One Of Us” is a deeply spiritual number that speculates what if God “were one of us,” and asks if you could ask Him one question, what would that question be? A funky bass line introduces “Hold Us Together,” about a woman desperate for help to overcome a situation where the man she truly adores is unemployed and life is breaking down around them. The album concludes with an exceptionally strong cover of the Negro spiritual “Wade In The Water,” which was recorded live. Too Much Talk is a solid effort throughout, and the original material is fresh and worth a listen.
