Aardvark plays Dead! Over a century of collective immersion in the music of the Grateful Dead culminates in faithful renditions interspersed with untethered psychedelic improvisation. Started in Redwood City, CA, Aardvark continues gathering faithful fans with performances at clubs, festivals, and private parties all around Northern California. Aardvark is Greg Gavalakis (Acton Street Ramblers), Ben Hollin (Tokyo Warlocks, Hands of Time), Robert Parker (Nugz Band, The Shuftones), and Jon Skippy Sherred (Matt Hartle and Friends, Southern Pacific, Medicine Road).

Brightshine: Shadows In the Sky CD release Party. Seamlessly combining Rock, Funk, Latin and Jazz influences, Brightshine has created an expansive and expressive sound that is uniquely their own. Brightshine features Pete Sawyer's evocative lyrics and stylistically diverse compositions as well as the band's fluidly expressive improvisations. Their debut album Shadows In The Sky was recorded live with minimal overdubs and is a document of the musical prowess and tone poetry of the musicians as well as the telepathic interaction the band built with one another during the arrangement and recording process. Brightshine features Celso Alberti (Steve Winwood, Airto), Jordan Feinstein (Phil Lesh, La Gente, Stu Allen), Murph Murphy (Poor Man's Whiskey, Stu Allen), Pete Sawyer (Seconds On End, Echo Street) and Maria Caycedo (Verismo Opera Company).
