A tight-knit quartet comprised of some of Boston’s finest musicians, ElephantProof stands as an enchanting embodiment of dynamic and eclectic sonic energy. The quartet, consisting of Ben Atkind (drums), Sean Cronin (vocals, guitar), Chris Enright (vocals, keys), and Shon Gordon (vocals, bass), harmoniously blend their disciplined training and extensive performance experience to transcend the traditional boundaries of genre.

The origins of ElephantProof trace back to Berklee College of Music where the four members initially crossed paths. Officially formed in 2012, the band swiftly carved out a niche for themselves in a vibrant Boston musical landscape teeming with fresh talent. Following a series of triumphant local performances in 2014, the band decided to explore a season of separation in pursuit of individual artistic identity. During this hiatus, Atkind and Enright (among others) founded jam juggernaut Goose, while Cronin and Gordon lent their talents to various diverse musical acts in the Northeast.

In 2021, the band reconvened in the studio to craft their EP, aptly titled 'EP EP'. This seven-track offering is a seamless blend of tracks penned over the span of a decade. The EP is a testament to ElephantProof's precise musicianship, fluid improvisation, engaging showmanship, and subtle humor. It was unveiled just ahead of their prime late-night set at Lockn’ Presents: Fred the Festival. Since then, the band has headlined acclaimed venues like Westport, CT’s Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts, Boston, MA’s The Sinclair, and Bridgeport, CT’s Park City Music Hall. Armed with a trove of fresh material and an unquenchable desire for musical exploration, ElephantProof is gearing up to hit the road again in 2024.

The Brownstein Family band started as a joke on social media when a fan of the bands said “family band featuring Marc, Zach and Jake from eggy.” This manifestation came to life at Biscoland, when Eggy and the Disco Biscuits were backstage together. The idea brought the bassist of the Biscuits and his son Zach (drums) together with Jake from Eggy, who shares a surname with the duo and plays a wicked lead guitar. The band was rounded out when Eggy Keyboardist Dani Battat joined in. The band debuted in January of 24 with a sold out show at Nectars in Burlington Vermont.

EASY STAR ALL-STARS – ZIGGY STARDUB

Blending musical versatility, instrumental prowess, beautiful vocal harmonies, and a premier rhythm section, Easy Star All-Stars have established themselves as one of the top international reggae acts on the scene for nearly two decades. During this time, they’ve toured in over 30 countries on 6 continents bringing together fans of reggae, classic rock, dub,and indie rock into one big family. In 2023, the band will release its first new album in its best-selling series of tribute albums in 11 years. The series began with Dub Side Of The Moon (2003), the critically-acclaimed reggae re-working of the classic Pink Floyd album, then continued with Radiodread (2006), Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009), and Easy Star’s Thrillah (2012), as well as the remix album Dubber Side of the Moon (2010). The All-Stars have also released two original collections, Until That Day EP (2008) and First Light (2011), since forming in the early 2000s.The new tribute (which has not been officially announced to the public yet) will be a complete reggae reimaging of David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars album. Featured guest performers on the record include Macy Gray, Maxi Priest, Steel Pulse, Fishbone, Mortimer, The Skints, The Expanders, Samory I, Naomi Cowan, SunDub, Alex Lifeson (RUSH), and Vernon Reid (Living Colour). The band will be incorporating songs from this new tribute into their 2023 sets, including potentially playing the album in full at some shows and festivals.Dub Side of the Moon was a sensation when originally released and spent more than 7 years straight on the Billboard Reggae Chart at the time. It got positive coverage and reviews on All Things Considered (NPR), and in Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, VIBE, Spin, Playboy, High Times, and many other magazines and publications. The record has, over time, garnered positive quotes and notices from members of Pink Floyd (most notably David Gilmour and Nick Mason), as well as from others involved in the original album, such as engineer Alan Parsons and singer Clare Torry. The follow-up album, Radiodread, which tackled Radiohead’s OK Computer, continued the band’s reputation for creative reinterpretation. To this day, two songs from this record (“Karma Police,” featuring Citizen Cope, and “Let Down,”featuring Toots & The Maytals) are regularly the All-Stars’ most streamed and listened to tracks. Thom Yorke gave a glowing mention of “Let Down,” and the album from the stage in Philadelphia upon the record’s original release. Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band (a reworking of Sgt.Pepper’s) debuted to the highest charting success of the band’s career thus far. During that cycle, the band performed each of their three tribute albums in full during a memorable three night/three stage performance at Glastonbury, earning the All-Stars a nomination for best festival show in 2009 in the UK. The last tribute (Easy Star’s Thrillah) kept things going with a celebrated version of Michael Jackson’s most famous album. After that, the band has kept touring, but had taken a break from completing full-fledged new tribute material…until now.

Brooklyn-based SunDub has been consistently turning heads with their powerful performances across North America. Anchored by the dynamic brother-sister team Joanna Teters (lead vocals) and Ben Teters (vocals-drums), and an airtight rhythm section—Finnegan Singer (guitar), Jose Lopez (guitar), Derrick Bourne (bass), Eric "The General'' Toussaint (vocals-keys), Sidney Mills (vocals-keys) — SunDub has blazed onto the scene with two album releases: "Burden of Love (2019) and “Spirits Eat Music” (2022), catching the eyes and ears of reggae, soul and conscious music lovers. Featuring collaborations with Peetah Morgan, Lutan Fyah, Ruff Scott, The Chronic Horns, and Larry McDonald, SunDub continues to churn out exciting expressions of reggae’s classic undulating pulse and lush subterranean grooves, reinvented for listeners of all times and genres.

Virginian, Keller Williams, released his first album in 1994, FREEK, and has since given each of his albums a single syllable title: BUZZ, SPUN, BREATHE, LOOP, LAUGH, HOME, DANCE, STAGE, GRASS, DREAM, TWELVE, LIVE, ODD, THIEF, KIDS, BASS, PICK, FUNK, VAPE, SYNC, RAW, SANS, ADD, SPEED, CELL, GRIT and DROLL.   Each title serves as a concise summation of the concept guiding each project. Keller’s albums reflect his pursuit to create music that sounds like nothing else. Un-beholden to conventionalism, he seamlessly crosses genre boundaries. The end product is music that encompasses rock, jazz, funk and bluegrass, and always keeps the audience on their feet. Keller built his reputation initially on his engaging live performances, no two of which are ever alike. For most of his career he has performed solo. His stage shows are rooted around Keller singing his compositions and choice cover songs, while accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, bass, guitar synthesizer and drum samples; a technique called live phrase sampling or “looping”.  The end result often leans toward a hybrid of alternative folk and groovy electronica, a genre Keller jokingly calls “acoustic dance music” or ADM.” Keller's constant evolution has led to numerous band projects as well; Keller & The Keels, Grateful Grass, KWahtro, Keller and the Travelin’ McCourys, Grateful Gospel and More Than A Little to name a few. Keller can be found playing clubs and festivals around the U.S. with these projects throughout the year.
