The Adam Ezra Group, a folk-inspired rock band from Boston, has quickly become the stuff of legend around New England.  Combining songwriting, dynamic musicianship, and often a philanthropic element at their shows, AEG has built a community of fans who will seemingly follow them to the ends of the earth. With over 200 high-energy shows a year, the Adam Ezra Group is committed to changing the world with their songs and their actions along the way. 

Ezra has also started his own non-profit organization called RallySound, and the band dedicates a huge percentage of their touring to giving back in a number of ways.  Causes run the gambit.  One day they will be raising money for an orphanage in Africa, and the next they will be helping a local community in Indiana feed their families during Thanksgiving.  Last spring they collected thousands shoes for the needy while touring with Rusted Root and The Wailers.   In recent years The Ramble, a festival they organize themselves, has raised enough money to take 14 homeless veterans off the streets and place them into safe housing, feed 20 struggling veteran families in New England for an entire year through local CSA’s, and is currently helping to build a home for a wounded vet through “Homes for Our Troops.”

With the release of The Adam Ezra Group’s latest single, “Let Your Hair Down,” produced by Shep Goodman and Aaron Accetta (American Authors, Karma Killers, Young Rising Sons), and co-written by the duo and Adam Ezra, they are setting out to help patients and families who need financial support while going through cancer treatment by donating proceeds from the song and video.  With a partnership with iHeartRadio, who will be running banner ads and PSAs across their channels on the project, the goal is to reach as many people in need as possible, while sharing their belief in the power of community and the human spirit.

"Hands down, the best roots rock band to come out of Boston since the Del Fuegos." - The Alternate Root

Bow Thayer is an accomplished and prolific songwriter who cultivates influences from the worlds of rock, blues, folk, prog, bluegrass and everything and anything in between to produce music that is heartfelt, soulful and uniquely his. He has lived up to his “reputation as a sublimely gifted artist” by pursuing a creative vision that seeks to lead Americana music into the future. Finally gaining national recognition, American Songwriter Magazine says this "onetime Levon Helm compatriot is the best artist to come from New England in recent years." On July 24, 2015, Bow will release his new album, "Sundowser", the much anticipated follow-up to his 2013 critically-acclaimed record, "Eden".

One of the most prominent national acts to come out of the Binghamton, New York music scene, Driftwood, is at heart a Rock band. Carving out a name for themselves with electrifying live performances, they bring one of the most unique, raw sounds to 
the Americana/Roots scene. Incorporating upright bass, banjo, acoustic guitar and violin, the ghost of traditional American folk music lives in their palette. But the melodies, the harmonies and the lyrics are something else entirely. “We started off playing Rock in high school. Then Jazz and Classical music in college. Then we dove head first into Folk and Bluegrass. At some point I guess we kind of met in the middle”, says guitarist/songwriter Dan Forsyth. Drawing on aspects of everything from Old-time to 1960’s R&B, the music is crafted to serve the songs. With fast growing audiences singing along at live shows, it’s easy to tell the primary focus is on song. “We recognized early on that one of our strongest points was songwriting. The greatest songs transcend genre and time and this was one of the motivating ideas behind the band at the start”, says banjo player/songwriter Joe Kollar. Trading lead vocals between Forsyth, Kollar and violinist/songwriter Claire Byrne, the group’s stage dynamics are as captivating as the songs. “I give so much of myself when I play because I deem it necessary in order to do the music justice”, says Byrne, who’s violin shredding performances are legendary among fans. Songs or shredding, “There’s a reason people won’t let them off the stage”, says Jess Novak from The Syracuse New Times. 

Formed in 2005, the band spent four years playing just about anywhere they could. “We just wanted to be able to play for any crowd and turn heads”, says banjo player Joe Kollar. “We played everywhere. Coffee houses, bars, churches, rock clubs, Bluegrass festivals and the streets…a lot on the streets. We didn’t make any money but what we learned was invaluable”. After the release of their Debut CD “Rally Day” in 2009, the band has spent most of the last 3 years on the road. With club and festival appearances alongside of artists such as Bela Fleck, Rusted Root, Del McCoury, Brett Dennen, The Wailers, Railroad Earth, Rubblebucket and Donna the Buffalo, Driftwood is making serious waves on the East Coast scene. In the last year they played over 170 shows. With the release of their newest CD “A Rock & Roll Heart” in 2011, the band landed spins on a slew of great radio shows and stations such as WFUV’s Sunday Breakfast with John Platt; KZSU, Stanford, CA; WCBE, Columbus, OH; and WDVX, Knoxville, TN. In the summer of 2012, the band was afforded their own summer tour blog on the website of the local Binghamton paper, The Press and Sun Bulletin.

"The Mallett Brothers Band packed their first four albums chock-full of crackling Americana, a foot-stomping patchwork of country, folk, and rock. But the usually rowdy sextet hits quieter notes on their latest album, The Falling of the Pine, a ruminative collection of 19th-century lumber-camp songs lent new melodies and arrangements. Across 10 tracks of rich instrumentation and absorbing harmonies, the Portland-based Malletts revitalize bygone tales of the triumphs and yearnings of working Mainers. For state history buffs — or for fans of the Avett Brothers, Okkervil River, or even Springsteen — the Malletts’ record deserves a serious listen." - Down East Magazine

Formed in 2009 in Portland, Maine, The Mallett Brothers Band is an independent, nationally touring country rock and roll band consisting of brothers Luke and Will Mallett (vocals, guitar), Nick Leen (bass guitar), Andrew Martelle (fiddle, mandolin), and Brian Higgins (drums).
