The Trashmen
Davie Allen and the Arrows + The Neanderthals + The 99's



THE TRASHMEN
The Trashmen are revered by '60s collectors as one of the great American teen-band combos of all time, their lone hit ("Surfin Bird") exemplifying wild, unabashed rock & roll at its most demented, bare-bones-basic, lone-E-chord finest. - Cub Koda, All-Music Guide

Kwame and Wan Afrika


KWAME AND WAN AFRICA
Musician/Poet Kwame credits his musical upbringing to his "elders" and the general environment of his home base in Ghana, West Africa, where his roots first blossomed. "There was drumming, and dancing, and of course singing," says Kwame.

With his seven-piece band Wan-Afrika, Kwame hits the stage and lets you know that the African Roots Ambassador has arrived. He sings of the joys and sorrows of humanity, never forgetting his humility. The band has performed throughout the USA sharing the bill with notables like Third World, Mutabaruka, Pato Banton, Sonny Ade, Wailing Souls, Sonny Okusun and many others. Kwame has been the recipient of many industry awards and honorable mentions including: Martin International's Chicago Reggae Music Awards "Best Artist" and "Most Culture-Oriented Band".

From his website... "I do love fashion and photo as art. I don't like the posturing and image-orientation that musicians often engage in, and I don't like "hip or cool" as concepts. I think in the long term. I write beautiful songs with words that also feature: Violin/Cello/Steel Drum/Wine Glasses.../Piano/Flute/Bass/Drums/Choir and more - drawing on influences from hundreds of years past as well as the energy of rock and the exploration of Classical New Music."

Boris
Clouds + Zebulon Pike

BORIS
Japanese cult favorite sludge/doom rock trio Boris takes their name from a song on grunge godfathers the Melvins' Bullhead album. They also have a lot in common with the Melvins musically, including a fondness for heavily down-tuned guitar/bass tones and exceedingly slow tempos. But they also incorporate elements variously drawn from other sources, including psychedelic rock, punk, noise, minimalism, pure sludge-drone music ala Earth, and more. Also, despite the unpretentious psychedelic/stoner rock imagery that accompanies much of their work, there is an ambitiously experimental aspect to much of it.

Melvin Taylor


CHICAGO BLUES LEGEND MELVIN TAYLOR
Melvin Taylor is a star in Europe, but it may take some time for U.S. audiences to catch on to just how phenomenally talented a bluesman he is. Part of the problem for Taylor may be his own natural eclecticism. He's equally adept playing jazz or blues, but in the last few years, he's forged a name for himself as a blues guitarist with a slew of releases for Evidence Music. Taylor may well be the most talented new guitarist to come along since Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Taylor was born in Mississippi but raised in Chicago after the family moved there in 1962. He learned guitar from his mother's brother, Uncle Floyd Vaughan, who jammed to tunes by Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed and Howlin' Wolf with his buddies. By the time Taylor was 12, he was sitting in with his uncle and other grown-ups at those sessions. Almost entirely self-taught, the young Taylor learned slide playing, finger-picking and flat-picking styles from his favorite recordings by B.B. King, Albert King and Jimi Hendrix.

Taylor's recordings include two he first recorded for a French label that have seen been reissued on the Pennsylvania-based Evidence Music: "Blues on the Run", originally recorded in 1982, and 1984's "Melvin Taylor Plays the Blues for You". Back in the U.S., Taylor continued to build a buzz around the strength of his marathon live shows at Rosa's Lounge and other venues in Chicago. Several small labels tried to sign Taylor, but they weren't successful. In 1995, Taylor was signed to Evidence Music and entered the studio with blues impresario John Snyder to record his debut for the label, "Melvin Taylor and the Slack Band", which showcased his original songwriting. He returned in late 1996 to record his second U.S. album, "Dirty Pool". Taylor's debut remains the Evidence label's best-selling release ever. Both records showcase Taylor's awe-inspiring guitar playing and original renderings of classic Chicago blues tunes. "Bang the Bell" followed in 2000, featuring racy cover art and a somewhat funk-influenced sound, but it was his teaming with Lucky Peterson and Mato Nanji on 2002's "Rendezvous with the Blues" that cemented his reputation as a mainstay in the American blues and roots rock scene.

"One of the most exhilarating blues guitarists to emerge in the past decade...[he] is more a blues innovator than a purist, mixing jazz chords and rock influences into his tapestry of electric blues" – ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE

"A volcanic guitarist... the sort of virtuosity that drags an audience into a world of risks and chances and excitement." – THE NEW YORK TIMES
