Twiddle, a Vermont-based quartet, spins tall-tales over an intricate soundscape of hi-def shred. They have started a frenzy on both coasts, composing complex arrangements that conjure up Coltrane, Ranglin, and Zappa. Obliterating the laws of improvisation, Twiddle delivers spectacular climaxes, defiantly weaves through genres, and never fails to leave a crowd lusting for more. It is three-dimensional music. You can see it from all sides, and even serve it to your guests. It’s Twiddle. Tasty.

Aqueous at Urban Nest (6-12-13) : Origami (by Phinnegan Phipps)

Manager / Press / Booking : Josh Holtzman - josh@bluestreamproductions.com

Aqueous is a genre melting, funk-tastic groove/rock band known for bringing high energy shows night after night. Catchy songwriting, shredding guitars, tight infectious grooves, and spot on improvisation keep crowds dancing right from the first beat. The songs themselves are adventurous, smartly composed, inventive, exuberant; the jams and improv sections add immensely to the experience, as Aqueous heads off in directions heretofore unknown and previously unexplored. Like all great bands before them, Aqueous breathes as one organism when it is in full flight.

Their latest studio effort “Willy Is 40” has joined the ranks of their influences-turned-peers showcasing the band’s explosive musical prowess. The album captures Aqueous’ signature live intensity, while expertly displaying the band’s creative and concise song writing. Their live series releases “Live Nugs” have kept fans waiting for the newest installment of highlights from recent shows. The quartet has been touring heavily throughout the Northeast and Midwest, riding high on the momentum gained from playing multiple sets at moe.’s annual end of summer festival moe.down.

“While the members of Aqueous are all very young, these guys are definitely the real deal. My advice is to take the opportunity to see these guys now. You’ll want to be able to say, ‘I saw Aqueous way back when…’” — Ryan Bartosek, Jambands.com

Jambands.com on moedown XIII:

“Aqueous, a prog-rock Buffalo, NY outfit, took the Second Stage by storm as they delivered their particular brand of jamming to the moe.down crowd, which included a hysterical take on Coolio’s ‘Gangsta’s Paradise.’ As people woke up to the catchy melodies and destructive musicianship of Aqueous, it was evident that Saturday was going to be different, and in a great way.”

- Rob Slater, jambands.com

The Blind Owl Band was conceived last fall as 4 friends unknowingly crossed pathways to developed this musical nature. Before there was a band, there were long energy filled nights of jamming with all our friends involved. Having friends and family always around helped give birth to such and energetic and positive musical companionship. Starting in Feb. of 2011 the Blind Owl Band was officially formed and shows around the Adirondacks were started. 

I think we view this traditional arrangement as just the start of

the musical concept. Although we look like a bluegrass band we are not

we are The Blind Owl Band. A musical representation of what sounds

float around in our heads. We use the instruments of our ancestors,

but play music of our time that is influenced by all that has happened

in the musical world over the past 23 years. We hope that we can

achieve a unique personal sound with our music through a raw

instrumentation. In a time of music and sound perfection and an

expansion of the realm of sound through digital processors, we hope to

inspire the use of wood and metal and take a basic approach and

expanded it to a sound all its own.

Mountain Ride at Spring Pickin’ (5-4-13) : The Girl At The Crossroads Bar (by Phinnegan Phipps)

Mountain Ride is Eric and Kate’s traditional bluegrass outlet.  The constant is Eric on guitar, Kate on bass, and to spice things up, a rotation of talented banjo and mandolin pickers on the ends.  To see Mountain Ride live is to see history in the making.  Each lineup has its own personal flair that will get you tappin’ and clappin’ for certain.  Mountain Ride has been playing locally for the past year, delivering fast-picking,  hard-driving tunes along with a few heart-melting old-time classic bluegrass ballads.  Mountain Ride’s harmonies are always a crowd-pleaser, and depending on the lineup, they just might blow your minds with a glorious three-part!  Watch for the August 2013 blogs, because Mountain Ride will be hitting the road for their North East Tour!  The tour will feature Trevor Wire from Tuckahoe Ridge on the banjo and Drew Jones of Jerry Rigged on the mandolin.  Mountain Ride is super excited to do some camping and picking across Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire.  Check out the tour schedule on the Upcoming Shows page, and be sure to catch a show and say hello!

Eric & Kate are part of The Reckoning, an acoustic Grateful Dead cover band:

Originally formed out of Kingston, PA in the summer of 2007, SUZE is a 5-piece line-up that consists of Adam McKinley (lead vocals/guitar), Brandin Shaffern (bass), Kevin Gallagher (drums), Adam Gabriel (lead guitar) and Angelo Miraglia (keys). For slightly more than five years now, SUZE has been playing pubs and clubs in Northeastern PA and surrounding areas, working to expand their ever-growing local fan base into a larger market. Having just released their debut original album, ‘When the World is Not Enough’ (April 14th 2012), the band carries a rock sound with blues/funk/jazz undertones that is filled with plenty of energy. The band also prides themselves on well-written songs, both lyrically and musically, and making the music interesting to the listener while being different, yet, familiar. Some notable gigs for the band thus far are twice playing an hour long set live on local station 102.3 The Mountain, a set at Sullivan Hall in NYC and an opening set for Rusted Root in May of 2011. The band is also currently in the process of writing songs for a second studio album with production tentatively to begin in late 2012/early 2013.
