DBMC may not be the biggest music conference in the northeast, but it has garnered more than its fair share of critical acclaim, rave reviews and enthusiastic return participants. This is due in no small part to the consistent quality of talent and its location. Dewey Beach sits on a narrow peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay. The result is a casual, laid-back vibe that almost seems like a beach vacation. All performance venues are within a few blocks walking distance of the main conference area. No cabs, no hassle, no venues that are hopelessly disconnected from the center of activity.

Below are just a small sample of the Artists that will be performing at this years DBMC. and after the Artists there will be a list of the day time Music Industry Panels and Speakers.

In 2008 Robinson went home at the invitation of the producers of Australia’s Got Talent, handily winning the competition. “That was a pretty unbelievable experience,” he says. “It was a lot of fun and a huge amount of people got to see me play, which allowed me to begin touring on my own as a headliner.” Recently Robinson’s been traveling the world with his own trio featuring a drummer and bassist headlining tours across Europe, Japan, North American and Australia, displaying his virtuosity on acoustic and electric guitar and honing many of the songs on stage that appear on Let Me Introduce You.

“Imagine a brit-indie sound that mixes elements of The Killers with elements of The Cure.”

Alex Kantarelis - The Pulse Magazine

Free music player widget at ReverbNation.com

“Satellites Fall has released the blueprint for things to come. An exceptionally produced example of what happens when a group of serious and professional minded guys follow their hearts into the recording studio. Five tracks that sound a bit like a cage match between Radiohead, Coldplay and the Foo Fighters in which the quirkiness of Radiohead and the pop sensibilities of Coldplay come out on top.”

The Dreaming (Ex Stabbing Westward), My Enemy Complete andf Dive 9/5/13

The Dreaming return to Legendary Dobbs on Thursday, September 5th 2013
w/ My Enemy Complete and Dive!!!!
Advance Tickets: http://dvtevents.com/show.cfm?id=122625

Formed in Los Angeles, THE DREAMING deliver a passionate and truly unique mix of new wave, metal, electronic and darkwave - capturing an aggressive and emotional rock ‘n’ roll eruption. Featuring vocalist Christopher Hall, former frontman of platinum-selling artist Stabbing Westward along with former Stabbing Westward/Econoline Crush drummer Johnny Haro. Also featuring Rich Jazmin (from Kerli) on guitars along with Brent Ashley on bass guitar. The Dreaming have grown a strong underground legion of fans. "PUPPET" was Christopher's first major label release since the demise of Stabbing Westward.

http://www.myenemycomplete.com

What do musicians do when their bands meet their maker? They create something new with other musicians. So it is with My Enemy Complete, established by former 51 Peg musicians Brian Fasani and Carlo Pizarro as well as Bilaal Y (vocals/guitar/synth) of Chrysalis. On their six-song comprehensive debut EP, the US trio merges dark, complex arranging of Alternative and Progressive Rock with departures toward Tool or APC and random, razor-sharp slivers of industrial. It not only reads well, but it sounds good as well. The interaction between atmospheric fragile, at times melancholy tinged moments and massively powerful lava-flows in combination with stirring waves of melodies and Bilaals distinct vocals you will be caught from the second you experience it. You can also detect something new each time you listen, electronic details, which swirl around within epic strings. An intensive tryst between introversion and volcanic eruptions.

Zillo Musikmagazin Review (Germany)

http://Divemusic.net

 In 2010, Dive headed to the new Meadowlands Stadium (Metlife Stadium) in East Rutherford, NJ to be one of the first bands to ever play the new stadium along side Bon Jovi and Train.

2013 Liberty Musicfest - Selected Artist's Session: 12

August, 15th, 16th, 17th & 18th

Brought to by: DVT Entertainment, The Legendary Dobbs & ThatMAg!

Sponsored by: SSA Music, Unclaimed Bands, SongBites4u, Starr Hill Brewery, Reverbnation

 

It's About a 1 1/2 Months away from the 2nd Annual Liberty Musicfest at The Legendary Dobbs. On June 20th, 2013 we selected 54+ bands to perform out of 220 artist submissions. The talent is beyond amazing and will be 4 days of WOWs!
Leading up to the Liberty Musicfest we will be introducing to you all the artists, 4 at a time.
So check them out. This is going to be an epic event!!! Check out these artists below!

Mach 22 - from Philadelphia, PA. 

http://www.mach22music.com

 

 

"While the band has been hailed as Led Zeppelin meets Lenny Kravitz, that is too narrow a vision of the band’s music and image. Everything from Aerosmith and Guns N’ Roses vibes right alongside Bootsy Collins and Miles Davis, even the Stones. It’s not just in the sound, but in the attitude, presence, and aforementioned, authenticity. Each thread is finely woven to create a signature that is at once instantly recognizable and welcoming, yet remarkably one of a kind."

 - Rustyn Rose, Metalholic Magazine

 

No Risk - from Clementon, NJ 

http://www.reverbnation.com/norisk

“popVLTR: What are some of your proudest moments in music so far? No RiSK: We've done a lot of really cool things, but my proudest part of it all is the fact that any accomplishment we've achieved has been a product of our own work, we never really had a lot of help with booking, merch, etc. This band has taken us across the whole country. We played at the Whiskey A Go Go on a Friday night, and it was unforgettable. We've shared the stage with amazing bands like the Misfits and Casualties, Far From Finished, The Swellers ... hundreds upon hundreds of really talented people that I am proud to say I played with. I'm proud of this band and what it stands for, and especially the guys in it that make it all happen.”

Pop Vulture Magazine - Pop Vulture Magazine Interview

  

 

Cold Roses - from Philadelphia, PA

http://www.coldroses.net

 

"Philly’s Cold Roses borrowed their name from a Ryan Adams song, and their sound from country rockers like Neil Young, The Band and Kings of Leon. Robert Clancy, the band’s leader, is not afraid of an incendiary, electro-powered guitar solo, nor does he shy away from the sweetness of close, soaring harmonies. His rhythm section cranks a hard-punching, slow-moving beat that embodies perseverance, blunted longing and a wary acknowledgement of the worst-case scenario. “Let Me Go,” the big crowd pleaser, arouses thirsts that can’t be entirely quenched by a longneck, an aching for true love, a good fistfight and the open road."

J. Kelly - Philadelphia Weekly

 

"Though they're from Philly, Cold Roses sound like they're straight out of a Texas roadhouse with their old-style country rock/blues combo."

WXPN's The Key

 

 

Tony Tedesco & Full Fathom 5 - from Asbury Park, NJ

https://www.facebook.com/TonyTedescoAndFullFathom5

 

A staple of the Asbury Park music scene, Tony has honed his craft through many different projects. From spoken word to Whiskey fueled barrel-house rock to solo acoustic, he has explored writing honest yet accessible material culminating in his first release Full Fathom 5.
Along with Grammy winning engineer Tom Camuso (Steve Earle's Washington Square Serenade) and his musical partner Gorgo Beach ha...ve produced a 40 minute, 10 song release that explores the human condition. The lyrics are layered with deep cut references to Shakespeare, Plath, Dickenson, Dunn, the bible and many others yet still maintains an accessibility with universal concepts and simple truths. This release has enlisted the services of the Asbury scene's most talented players. A band that's not afraid to take a chance while keeping it's ear to the pulse of the lyrics.. Not brewed for local consumption. Best listened to from dark corners with nary a clue of whence we came.
 

 

Tone - from Deleware

Keith Monacchio - from Trenton, NJ.

http://www.reverbnation.com/keithmonacchio

“Like a good book, Keith Monacchio’s songs drag you into his world and introduce you to unforgettable characters, however gray and unwelcoming that world may seem.”

Jim Testa - Jersey Beat

“Keith Monacchio is among the finest singer/songwriters ever to hail from the Garden State. Essential listening!! ”

Colie Brice - www.asburymusician.com

 

“Keith Monacchio is a guy who will leave his mark on our collective music history.”

John Pfeiffer - The Aquarian
