LINEUP

By 2018, American Authors impressively generated over 1 billion global streams on a string of alternately striking and soaring smashes. Their inescapable and instantly recognizable breakthrough "Best Day of My Life" earned a triple-platinum certification from the RIAA and vaulted to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in addition to receiving countless film, television, video game, and sports syncs. Their 2014 full-length debut, Oh, What A Life, achieved gold status, while the follow-up What We Live For, spawned another Top 20 hit, "Go Big or Go Home," in 2016. Along the way, they sold out shows around the globe and ignited stages at festivals, including LollapaloozaFirefly Music FestivalBottleRock Napa ValleyReading Festival, and Leeds Festival, to name a few.


Each seasonal cycle informs, impacts, and inspires growth. American Authors translate those cycles of change into genre-blurring alternative anthems, bordering pop ambition and rock spirit undercut by a rhythmic hip-hop boom. Touting airtight songcraft and sonic adventurousness, the Brooklyn-based four-piece -- Zac Barnett [vocals], James Adam Shelley [guitar, banjo], Dave Rublin [bass], and Matt Sanchez [drums] -- push forward and progress yet again on their 2018 third full-length, the aptly titled Seasons.


"I want people to see a different side of American Authors," Zac leaves off. "I hope they realize there's a message of hope, but it's transmitted in a new and more exciting way for our band. Growing up, listening to my favorite artists helped me through so many hard times. It was the best therapy. I've seen fans take that away from our music in the past, and I hope they continue to do so. That's the ultimate goal for us."


Chad Hollister Band have been evolving and touring the country for over 20 years.Chad has opened for Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Tom Petty and has shared the stage with every PHISH member. Chad signed a record deal and release Stop the World featuring a 10 piece band.


Over the past 2 years, Mark Daly has seen quite a bit change in his life. From becoming a husband and father, to his band Madaila going on hiatus, it has been both equally beautiful and challenging. Amidst a life and career crossroads and a re-evaluation of the self, Daly has had the most prolific writing period of his life in an attempt to capture all these wild life experiences as they happen. It all comes pouring out in his new solo debut, a double LP called “I’m Gonna Do It (Anyway).” The record, released June 21st, is out now under Daly’s new moniker, his middle name, Ernest.


Heart, humor, and humility are the keys to success for singer/songwriter Troy Millette, a Fairfax, Vermont native who has quickly earned himself a reputation as one of New England’s most promising up-and-comers. Whether performing solo, alongside violinist Dylan Gombas, or fronting the full-band project the Fire Below, Millette’s shows are guaranteed to entertain music-lovers of all kinds on the back of striking original songs, imaginative covers, and witty onstage banter.Since arriving on the local circuit in 2010, Millette has continuously worked to hone his craft, playing hundreds of shows across the Northeast United States and Canada with esteemed touring acts such as Grace Potter, Counting Crows, Richard Marx, Rick Springfield, Trey Anastasio (Phish), Mondo Cozmo, the Front Bottoms, the Ghost of Paul Revere, Dawes, the Marcus King Band, Oh Honey (now known as lovelytheband), Noah Guthrie (of America’s Got Talent and the FOX television series ‘glee’), Will Evans and Barefoot Truth, Scott Hellman, Kat Wright, Madaila, Seth Yacovone, Gang of Thieves, 8084, Jamie Lee Thurston, and more.


Cash is King is an Alt-Country outfit comprised of four native Vermonters and one Illinois transplant. Ryan McCrea (Vocals, Acoustic Guitar) has combined his Midwest upbringing with a Vermont state of mind to create a song catalog that is distinctly American. His timeless lyrics come to life with the help of the power and delicacy of Christina Durfee's vocals. The band gets it's unique musical personality from John Powers' classically trained upright bass and the ancient flavor of Aidan Lenihan's tasty lap steel. Conor McQuade rounds the group out with a lead guitar style that ranges from tasteful color to soul infused power. The group’s influences range as far as the aisles of any music store but their sound is unmistakably a product of the long winters and brilliant short summers of the Green Mountains.


Basement Casual came together just one year ago, when 4 musicians (and coworkers) playing in separate bands decided to collaborate and cover a wide array of music bringing together Jazz, Rock, Country, and even some Alternative jives. Native to Blackstone, MA, the band members have all been or are still currently a part of several other local bands such as Smear Campaign, Tailgates Down, and MPF who have been playing around the Worcester Area for nearly a decade. The group has a cross-generational dynamic that keeps the listeners on their toes!
