SUMMARY:Rob Flax’s Boom Chick Trio
DESCRIPTION:Rob Flax is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, and educator with a playful heart and an open mind. He describes his music in a concise way: “I play things with strings\, I hit stuff\, and I sing.” Behind this simple tag line lies a rich depth of genre-bending\, from classical and jazz violin to bluegrass fiddle\, to blues and rock influences\, and beyond. Rob has performed nationally and internationally with groups of many different styles\, including opening for B.B. King and Tower of Power\, playing viola and violin with the Trans Siberian Orchestra and YouTube star Jacob Collier\, upright bass in an Argentine tango ensemble\, mandolin and fiddle in various bluegrass bands\, electric violin and synthesizers in Billy Wylder and several other rock bands\, collaborations with modern dancers\, and more.

Rob is a graduate of the New England Conservatory\, and he currently lives in Boston. \nSlava Tolstoy is a Boston based guitarist\, singer and producer\, originally from St. Petersburg Russia. Slava’s original songs are best described as energetic pop-rock with tight arrangements\, virtuoso soloing and deep and meaningful lyrics in the best traditions of Russian rock. World class musicians\, including Grammy winners and nominees were carefully selected to play in Slava’s band and on his latest studio album – “Songs About the Sea” (Песни Про Море). Between 2018-2020 Slava has recorded and performed in a duo with Fedor Chistyakov – the leader of a legendary rock band “Nol”. One of Slava’s most known projects is International String Trio that fuses Jazz Manouche with World Music\, this group has toured across USA many times and gained significant national recognition. \nChris Sartori is a bassist\, percussionist\, and multi-instrumentalist currently based out of Boston. Throughout 10+ years touring nationally with Americana genre-defiers\, Twisted Pine\, Chris has studiously carved out a niche as the funkiest bassist in bluegrass. A graduate of the Jazz program at Umass Amherst\, Chris is a lifelong student of music\, dedicated to groove\, improvisation\, and bringing the music to life each night. Chris has had the privilege of traveling around the world exploring and innovating with fellow Americana/bluegrass pioneers such as Peter Rowan\, Danny Barnes\, Tray Wellington\, the Faux Paws\, and Twisted Pine\, playing notable venues and music festivals from Anchorage\, Alaska to Accra\, Ghana.

SUMMARY:Goodnight Moonshine Quartet feat. Molly of Red Molly
DESCRIPTION:Goodnight Moonshine is a musical marriage—the guitar and vocal duet of renowned Red Molly singer Molly Venter and prolific producer/guitarist Eben Pariser. Their collaborative result is a sophisticated folk sound built around Molly’s enviable voice and Eben’s wide\, imaginative harmonic sensibilities (NPR). \nMolly’s voice has been called both “biker-chick smoky” (New Haven Register) and “like silk” (American Songwriter Magazine)\, and has taken her career to highlights including Tønder Festival in Denmark\, Kate Wolf Fest in CA\, and multiple placements on television and film. Eben describes his adventurous playing as “Cooder-grass\,” combining the virtuosity of Django Reinhardt\, the depth of Bill Frisell\, and a touch of Jerry’s ethos. A natural producer\, Eben now has 9 studio records under his belt for himself and other artists.

SUMMARY:Lincoln Durham
DESCRIPTION:Armed with old bastardized mid-century guitars\, hand-me-down fiddles and banjos\, home-made contraptions with just enough tension on a string to be considered an instrument and any random percussive item he can get his hands or feet on\, Lincoln Durham is a roots-rock revivalist with a heavy amped edge\, preaching the gospel of some new kind of depraved music. With driving guttural beats back-boning various growling stringed instruments Lincoln gives birth to a sound that transcends genres with his dark\, poetic and raw writing style telling tales that E.A. Poe would have been proud of.
