Perpetual Groove
Perpetual Groove
Based in Athens, GA, Perpetual Groove is a long-time well established touring act with an enthusiastic fan base and international critical acclaim. Dubbed PGroove by their fans, their music has been best described as anthemic trance arena rock. Their large catalog of original music offers something for everyone. The addition of an intense, retina-burning, intelligent light show creates an atmosphere unlike any other, assuring fans they’ll get a highly polished, yet different show each night. With the recent addition of drummer Darren Stanley (Col.Bruce Hampton, Jimmy Herring The 5 of 7, Larkin Poe, Oz Noy, Peter Rowan) Perpetual Groove has positioned themselves to enter an entirely new era with a fresh perspective and sound. Almost 20 years into their career, Perpetual Groove continues to showcase the evolution of their cultivated music and performances. This is a band that is fully realized and ready to bring their sound, storytelling, and live experience to the masses.
Social Assassins
Guitarist Gabriel Akhmad Marin, known for his work with genre-hopping fusion stalwarts Consider The Source, assembled a new group of psychedelic all-stars to push the boundaries of instrumental music yet again.
Social Assassins features scene luminaries drummer Marco Cirigliano (The Pickle Mafia, Aku), bassist/multi-instrumentalist Nick Joz (Peter Evans, Stefa), and electronic guitarist Sage Xavier (Aku), and takes an organic, groove-oriented approach to Gabriel’s signature blend of traditional sounds and futuristic fury. Sailing over a roiling ocean of Marco’s hypnotic, electronic-inspired beats, his fretless guitar is the lead vocalist, accompanying choir, and wall of analog synthesizers all-in-one.
The songs are a blend of original compositions, improvised moments, and traditional music from Eastern Europe, all filtered through trance-inducing textures ranging from rock, to dub reggae, to ethereal folk and wrapped neatly in catchy song forms. Social Assassins offer a massive, exciting live experience full of virtuosic instrumentalism and raw, fun energy.

Misty Blues
MISTY BLUES/QUEENS OF THE BLUES:
2019 International Blues Challenge finalist, Misty Blues, is led by lead singer/band founder Gina Coleman. The band is based out of Berkshire County, Massachusetts playing original and traditional blues with hints of jazz, soul, funk and tent revival gospel since 1999. The band has recorded with Charles Neville, Justin Johnson, Big Llou Johnson and Joe Louis Walker. The band recently earned the 2021 CFAB Music Realm Best Entertainer Award and has amassed several Independent Blues Award nominations. Misty Blues’ original recordings have garnered global radio airplay resulting with a composition on the Roots Music Report Top 20 Contemporary Blues Song Chart for 2021, and a Top 15 song on the 2021 SiriusXm Bluesville End of Year Rack Of Blues List.
In recent years the band has developed a show, Queen of the Blues, which pays tribute to four quintessential female blues artists of all times … Bessie Smith, Big Mama Thornton, Ruth Brown and Koko Taylor. They perform songs and relay stories of these women’s lives in an emotionally packed musical and educational performance. They also show how these women have influenced their original music.
