Juggling Suns is the forefront band on the Jersey Shore jam scene.
They have won the Asbury Park Music Award for Best Jam Band for the last two years
in a row, and guitarist Mark Diomede received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003.
Veterans to the festival scene, Juggling Suns is forging ahead with new compositions
and a strong local fan base. Abductions being served up both Friday and Saturday, so
"Get Abducted!!"
The name says it all. We
are a band born and raised in the backwoods of central Pennsylvania, and our
sound is a reflection of our love for all things natural and real. We
come from different walks of life but form a quartet of friendship and musical
experimentation. Our philosophy is that there are two types of people in
the world, those who love bluegrass and those who don't know it yet.
Settle in and enjoy the experiment!
. Turtle Soup's special blend of jam rock, funk and dance music
is no longer New Jersey's best kept secret, thanks to winning Top Jam Band and
Top Groove Band at the 2007 Asbury Music Awards this past November. Not only are
they excellent songwriters, but dazzling musicians as well. Fun, catchy hooks,
complex arrangements and sweet grooves fuel their improvisations. This band combines exceptional talent and professionalism to create a memorable
show. This pays off, and they've been quickly gaining steam. In the past few
months, they've played with Blues Traveler, Paul Rodgers, Marshall Tucker Band,
Foghat, Little Feat, Dark Star Orchestra, RAQ, and The Breakfast.
The Point brings an intense new sound to the realm of live music today.
Best described as the marriage of swirling soundscapes with a
deeply rhythmic foundation, they produce a sound altogether their own. Extended jams
are likely to reach an epiphany with three-part harmonies soaring over the band.
The Point creates an unforgettable, unique live experience which leaves their
crowds satisfied yet hungry for more electronic, psychedelic, hip-hop groove.
Fried up in the 21st century, Unexplained Bacon combines psychedelic riffs with
driving funk-rock, reggae, and trance, to form a unique blend fatty enough to fill
any musical appetite. Described as Rockadelic Funk; Bacon has been rockin'
audiences since their inception in 2002. Fun, catchy originals and classic covers make
Bacon ALWAYS a good time. After playing on the same bill as bands such as Moe., Leftover
Salmon, Vince Welnick, Galactic, RAQ, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, MMW, Roots, David
Grisman, and Nero, and playing at great venues as The Stone Pony, Lion's Den, Tobacco Road,
and Mexicali Blues; and up and down the east coast...........
The Basement Generals, from northern New Jersey,
formed in the spring of 2009. The band is a 4-piece consisting of veteran musicians from other New Jersey
bands, including Newton Crosby, The Brainbox, The Paul Holda Band, Transgressor; plus Jam/improv nightclub
Mexicali Live's lighting director, Jeff Volks on drums. Influenced by the Grateful Dead, Phish, moe., Disco
Biscuits and all things improvisational, the band plays exciting, experimental jam rock.
Steal Your Face combines some of the
Philadelphia Area's hottest players. A mix of eclectic styles and influences each Steal Your Face
performance is a unique improvisatory musical exploration. From the sound of the tropics to
Psychedelic San Francisco audiences and the band together embark on a Long, Strange Trip full of
familiar favorites and fun around every corner.
From their beginnings in Oneonta, NY, Cliff Street drew upon the "jam band with songs theme". After Oneonta
for the larger Albany, NY, Cliff Street burst upon the jam band scene with a new approach to songs, as well as songwriting.
Incorporating energized funk, rock, reggae, progressive, improve, drum & bass, and spacey
"trancy" house jams. Cliff Street always funks you up with two
searing lead guitars, killer bass, amazing drums, and most importantly--catchy vocal harmonies that move a crowd to sing along.
