PETE FRANCIS (of Dispatch)
Genre: Rock/Folk Rock/Jam Band
In his songs a poetic tension exists between textured imagery and pure improvised rock and roll. The record expresses Francis’ soulful rock, folk and blues influences with layered instrumentation of B-3 organ, lap-steel guitar, mandolin, and a driving rhythm section.

Pete Francis Interview
with COLOURMUSIC
Genre: Pop/Rock/Experimental
messily refined indie rock..and innovative, yet catchy, melodies that work their way into your head without you even knowing it..wildly inventive shows, and it’s while performing that the band’s vivid personalities come through.
Similar to: The Flaming Lips, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, & Kings of Leon

DEAD CONFEDERATE
Genre: Rock/Psychedelic
Though the band is pinned as producing the same kind of indie rock aesthetic à la My Morning Jacket and Band of Horses, Dead Confederate dabbles in darker shades than their compared predecessors..Dead Confederate echo the Drive-By Truckers’ bittersweet southern rock angst with the smoke-heavy swagger of the Black Angels.

with special guests ROCK PLAZA CENTRAL
Genre: Folk/Americana
After a pair of glowing reviews from the influential music website Pitchfork they have recently come to prominence as a major indie rock band.
..evocative lyrics and powerful instrumentation..an outstanding fusion of alt-country earnestness and indie rock absurdity. Without any trace of flaunt or deliberateness, this homespun epic proves as casual in tone as it is ambitious in scope… sure to have tears welling and fists aloft in raucous salute.”- Josh Berquist, PopMatters, April 2007

STARS AND STRIPES EXTRAVAGANZA featuring ROBBIE FULKS AND FRIENDS
Genre: Country/Indie/Bluegrass
While most current country music is calculated to form an inoffensive backdrop to the suburban shopping experience, Robbie Fulks writes songs that make you think and feel and quite often laugh out loud.
Similar to: Steve Earle, Neko Case, & Lyle Lovett
Cigarette State- Robbie Fullks
plus ROMANTICA
Genre: Americana/Folk/Pop
With an album on Paste Magazine’s Top 100 of 2007 and comparisons popping up all over the place between singer/songwriter Ben Kyle and both Jeff Tweedy and Ryan Adams, it probably won’t be too long before you’ll no longer be able to catch these guys in such a cozy venue.
