Psychedelic Rock / Grunge / Indie 

Bringing together a plethora of rock, indie, hardcore, and pop influences differing not only in genre but also in age, Entropy creates a musical blend that is both raw and intense, yet also ambient and euphoric in nature. The Philadelphia trio is currently in the process of writing / demoing new material, booking up regional shows, and preparing for their highly anticipated 2016 year.

With full force, Lexington, Kentucky based indie rock band, Noble Giants debuted the summer of 2015. Quickly following their first shows of the summer, the group made their single, “Mary” available to the public on most major digital streaming sites. With public support flooding in from social media and the Lexington community, the guys hit the studio to record their EP titled, {ERADIXATE}, released December 29, 2015. The band has stayed busy playing shows in Tennessee, Ohio, and around Central Kentucky gaining new fans and support with each show. Reminiscent of Joy Division and the 1975, the sound of the band brings together hints of iconic 80s rock with new age pop. {ERADIXATE} is available on all digital distribution sites, and through our website, www.noblegiants.com



Performance at 4:50pm  / From Philly
 Style: 
Alternative / Indie

Audio Impulse is an alternative rock band that writes hard driving riffs, melodic bass lines, solid face-melting drums, and soul shattering lyrics accompanied by complex vocal harmonies. A down to earth groove and a pure love for rock and roll, this band is an ode to all of those rock greats that came before them. Not only does the music bring you back to the glory days of rock, but it adds the next chapter. Each song is a journey into the minds and hearts of four musicians who do what they do for no other reason than the pure love of the music. Crank the volume as loud as you can and blast off into a frenzy of fast paced energy that will shatter your soul and cleanse you of the everyday troubles that plague us all.


Performance at 4:00pm  / From Newburyport, MA.

Jazzy/Funk/Soul




LUX IS A FUNKY/JAZZY/QUIRKY/FUN QUARTET FROM NEWBURYPORT, MA, AND SINCE 2009 HAVE PLAYED COUNTLESS GIGS ALL OVER THE NORTH SHORE OF MASSACHUSETTS, AND JUST FINISHED UP A SUCCESSFUL TOUR THAT BROUGHT THEM TO RI, CT, NYC, NJ, PA, NH AND VT! ALTHOUGH THE TERM “JAZZ” IS IN THEIR DESCRIPTION, LUX’S APPROACH IS CLOSER TO TROMBONE SHORTY THAN TO MILES DAVIS. WITH COVER SONGS FROM ARTISTS AS DIVERSE AS DJANGO REINHARDT, STEVIE WONDER, AC/DC AND AMY WINEHOUSE, AND THEIR WELL-CRAFTED ORIGINALS, THEY ENTERTAIN ALL! THIS WAS IN CLEAR EVIDENCE ON TOUR AS THEY PLAYED WITH BANDS OF DIFFERENT GENRES SUCH AS FOLK/ROOTS, ROCKABILLY, HARD ROCK, SOUL, AND EVEN SHARED A BILL WITH 4 HEAVY METAL BANDS!
LUX RELEASED THEIR SECOND FULL-LENGTH CD; FAT CITY, IN AUGUST 2015, AND HAS RECEIVED AIRPLAY ON INTERNET RADIO STATION MARK SKIN RADIO, WUML 91.5, AND WERE FEATURED IN THE 6TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL RADIO DAY IN ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, AND WAS REVIEWED IN THE CURRENT EDITION OF THE NOISE BY SHAUNA ERLBAUM WHERE SHE CALLED IT “RAUCOUS, FUN, INVENTIVE AND DELICIOUS.”



Performance at 3:10pm  / From Philly
 Style: 
R&B/Soul


These Philly-bred vocalists have a truly timeless voice that is undoubtedly authentic. The name Aviance says it all. “Aviance” comes from the word “Ambiance”; and they remove the “MB”, replace it with a “V” to signify their strong soulful voices. Aviance has captured the new-age flavor of soul while maintaining an old-school flair. Their swag is reminiscent of artists from the early '90s R&B era. Aviance combines the best of soul and hip hop. This all lead singing trio features, Dominique Nicole, Beyyond & Miss Jayy, and they get down and gritty with soulful voices. These ladies are known for creating a special vibe when they enter a room. Their performance is definitely memorable; in every way, which causes them to gain new, loyal and dedicated fans wherever they go. They’ve opened up for Artists such as Dru Hill, K-Ci & Jo Jo, Jon B, Mr. Cheeks, Mario, SWV, Sylenna Johnson, Slick Rick, Silento and many more. Aviance plans to make their mark on the industry by being known for the singing group that has brought back TRUE SINGING and REAL MUSIC to this industry. Their talents collectively and individually will definitely leave a mark on this industry and give them the type of staying power that legendary Artists had.


Performance at 2:20pm  / From Philly
 Style: 
Rock
Zymptic Flow is the reincarnation of itself into a modern 5 piece high energy rock and roll band. From 90s alternative rock to modern pop and classic rock accents they cover a wide range of dynamic rock. Originating in the philly/ southern jersey scene the current line up is: Alex Kiedaisch (vocals) Don Bozzuffi (guitars) Craig Stenger (bass) and Erik "Chauncey" Cistaro (drums/smash) and Renee Pestritto (Keyboards). Zymotic Flow showcases are Rock and Roll parties! They play original alternative rock songs with tasteful and classic covers.


Performance at 1:30pm  / From North Wales, PA.
 Style: Indie Rock


Winston's Dog is the kind of guitar driven indie rock band you'll never hear on the radio. With the original trio of singer Jon Robins, and guitarists Bill Schwartz and Jason Murray, the band has crafted a sound that owes as much to the Smiths as Sonic Youth.
In fact you'll never know what to expect from a Winston's Dog song. The band is as likely to serenade with a pretty pop number as hit you in the head with a sledgehammer. They eschew the easy hook for structures that build and evolve and never stand in place. It's not revolution, but it's not radio rock either.
With newish member, bass player Pete Mazzaccaro (two years), and brand new drummer, Jamie Briggs, the band has been enjoying a renaissance on the local rock scene and finishing a nine-song album due early next year.




Performance at 2:20pm  / From Kutztown, PA,
 Style: 
Funk / Rock
It may be hard to believe that a sound so big can come out of a town so small, but the Groove Merchants are proof of exactly that.
Formed at Kutztown University in the Fall of 2012, The Groove Merchants are a high-energy blues rock band fueled by lead guitar player Luke Ferracone's blazing riffs and solos and lead singer/rhythm guitarist/percussionist Tye Vallone's sweet vocals and energy, which often extends past the stage itself. Bassist John Evin Groove and drummer Anthony Guidotti supply the booming bottom end which helps The Groove Merchant's lay down precisely what their name implies: a fat, solid groove.
