Footwerk

Footwerk. A Washington, D.C.-based 6-piece Pop outfit can only be described as a ‘blind date’ for first timers or a ‘booty c...all’ to an experienced audience member.

Swing That Cat

Set time: 4:20pm

 

 

We are a creative and crazy group of musicians and singers that have come together to put on music. We are bringing back Jazz, Swing, and Rockabilly. We pay homage to musicians who have been forgotten and ones not yet known.  

We're a crazy bunch of cats, who love that Rock and Roll thing, mixed with Jump Blues,

Jazz, and lots of Horny Swing! Add a ...dash of European Cabaret,
and a splash of the way the Gypsies play, Shaken Well and served Straight up, or on ice,
We like it all Dirty, Neat, and Nice. If you had a great time, with good friends,
dancing through the night, and your evening, had a happy ending,
then we did ourselves right!

 

 

  

The Royal Noise

Set time: 3:20pm

 

 

"one of the best funk acts to emerge from the East Coast in a long while" - Simon Eddie, HOMEGROWN MUSIC NETWORK

“the whole damn band is a pack of rhythm devils … a clear case of a half-dozen souls consumed by percussion poltergeists, and there are only two things they could have done: call an exorcist or form a kick-ass jazz/funk band. Fortunately for us, The Royal Noise gave in to the beat beast and did the latter.” - Brian Robbins, JAMBANDS.COM 

 

 

Montgomery Streets

Set time: 2:20pm

 

 

After their critically acclaimed band "The Vinyl Addicts" disbanded, Brian Murray and Anthony DeFeo began writing some new s...ongs in an apartment on Montgomery St in Brooklyn's Crown Heights. The songs were catchy, unapologetically pop riddled with harmonies and introspective lyrics. Over time, the new band "Montgomery Streets" became known for their energetic and ever changing live shows. In 2013 they released their first EP "Damn Girl". Produced by Chris Cubeta at GaluminumFoil Studios in Williamsburg, the album marks a huge step forward for the band. Featuring Spencer Cohen on drums and Chris Cubeta on guitar/keys, songs like "Change" boast a fuller sound and driving beat while fan favorite "The One Who Got Away" sticks to the group's acoustic roots.

 

 

The Berries

Set time: 1:20pm

 

The Berries are a new acoustic trio from Philadelphia. Characterized by the tight vocal harmonies of Andrew Napoli and Emily... Drinker and the sweet djembe grooves created by Ryan Lutz, the Berries have a sound that is uniquely effortless, laid back, and full of joy. Let the harmonies flow through you!

Tropical Nasty

A rebirth of 60s and 70s era rock and Reggae with three part harmonies and a youthful abandon that renders authentic versio...ns of Jimi Hendrix tunes as well as an abundant collection of originals that sound like Jimi could have written them -Tropical Nasty is pure rocking groove. Their influences include Miles Davis, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bob Marley, The Meters, Southern Culture on the Skids, the Who and of course Jimi Hendrix and they dip into all of the above Dave Tepper is a young master of the guitar who enthralls audiences with his rapturous solos and beguiling stage antics reminiscent of his rock mentors.
