WHITE BUFFALO WOMAN
White Buffalo Woman is a young, howling mess crouching on all fours, readying itself to pounce on the world of rock n roll.
White Buffalo Woman Started in Minerva Ohio in Drummer Joes basement below their family-run Funeral Home. White Buffalo Woman is comprised of Evan Rutledge (Vocals), Adam Murphy (Guitar), Alex Leggett (Bass) Devin Bezeredi (Guitar) and Joe Wales (Drums) fuse rock, blues, psychedelic, souland punk into an explosion of new music.
They have played in multiple states and opened formultiple acts including Dex Romweber, Patrick Sweany, The Buffalo Killers, Dan Sartain, Jacuzzi Boys, The Ettes, James Leg and The Stone Foxes.
Their most recent Self titled CD/LP is released by Grimtale in early 2016. They have released a 7 vinyl record My Days/ This Town (released on Grimtale Records) in 2012, followed by a self released four song EP in 2013 and a 7 single Like You Used To Do/Always on My Mind released on Grimtale records in 2014. This sublime debut album got them airplay on Little Stevens Underground Garage on SiriusXM and a thumbs-up from J. Geils frontman singer Peter Wolf. Contents veer from organ-laced garage rock to Southern-fried soul to uncannily Stonesy, all great fun.
FOREST FIRE GOSPEL CHOIR
Forest Fire Gospel Choir formed in the rural childhood home of lead singer/bassist Will McGee, while recording project free of all the distractions of modern life. Cut off from the world, the group spent a week demoing song ideas and developing a sound that gives vintage soulfulness new life. Influenced by the likes Kings of Leon, the Allman Brothers Band, and Joe Cocker, FFGC breathes new life into roots rock on its debut eponymous EP. McGees raspy vocal shines on the EP, with delivery that hangs with his vocal influences. Each track flows into the next with heavy hitting from drummer Kip Allen, Leon Russel-esque counter melodies from keyboardist Will Lynde, and Yin and Yang guitar parts from Nick Fields and Sam Hunt. The EP includes a range of styles from Daddio, a tongue-in-cheek jab at love and cell phones, to the introspective slow-burn bar anthem Lightning.
Working in concert with an ensemble of background vocalists, Forest Fire Gospel Choirs live show is a wall of sound scaled by screaming guitar solos from dual leads Fields and Hunt. The electric live show, described as a Bro-Fest on stage, lets it all hang out and can turn any room full of strangers into a crowd of best buds. Each time the band takes the stage, Forest Fire Gospel Choir embraces total reckless abandonment, inspiring everyone in the room to lose themselves in the music. As Fields reiterates time and time again, Were here to save rock n roll, one damsel in a dress at a time.
JOSH GRAY
Nashville-based Folk Singer-Songwriter Josh Gray possesses an inherent ability to tap into various styles to create a sound truly his own. He has been impacted by such legendary artists as Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, and even Blind Willie McTell, to name a few.
The earthy sound and deep-seated folk roots of Josh's debut EP showcase his gift of bringing poignant lyrics to life. Joshs goal on the album is to convey stories of love, mortality, and social justice. Josh explains his inclusive approach to music, I've always seen folk music as a means of bringing people together around common life experiences.
