Addison Groove Project
Genre: Jazz/Funk
Hometown: Boston, MA

With the release of allophone, Addison Groove Project has traveled beyond the boundaries of traditional funk, jazz, and fusion. Drums, bass, keyboards, guitar, and horns layer subtle intricacies over expansive soundscapes on an album that is certainly AGPs best release to date. Along with the innovative instrumental tracks, allophone features Brendan McGinn's conscious and introspective vocals that stem equally from modern indie rock and 70's soul. With a captivating live show and consistent touring, Addison Groove Project has developed their fan-base up and down the East Coast and already has the West Coast hot in anticipation. If they haven't been to your neighborhood yet, they'll be there soon. In the meantime, let allophone be your introduction.

Matisyahu the Hasidic Reggae Superstar
Combining the sounds of Bob Marley and Shlomo Carlebach, yet remaining wholly original, Matisyahu's performance is an uplifting, powerful experience for all in his presence. Even the most pessimistic in his audience is inspired by his ability to so honestly convey such a delicate, topic as faith/spirituality. It is his dedication to his belief and openness to others that compels one to respect his artistry and message. It's in that fleeting moment when our skepticism melts and our souls open up, that Matisyahu enters with his booming sound of faith.
