Bourbon Express
Bourbon Express began in the summer of 2011 with the chance meeting of
co-founders singer-songwriter Katie Brennan and multi-instrumentalist
Brendan Curley, two country music enthusiasts who (unbeknownst to each
other) grew up within a country mile of one another in and around
Tacoma, Washington. After that initial meeting, where the idea of
forming a band was proposed, Katie’s longtime friend and percussionist
Kevin Sport joined ranks and guitarist/lap steel player Ben Serby
followed shortly thereafter. Bourbon Express is currently trying out new
material at club dates in New York City and hoping to record an album
soon.

The Needmore Brothers
The Needmore Brothers came together in upstate New York, where Cliff
Westfall and Matthew Horn realized they shared not only a love of roots
music but also a philosophy: They don’t need much but they need it real
bad.

Kings County Ramblers
We’re a scrappy group of pickers emerging on the Brooklyn scene. Playing
a great style of music that brings together bluegrass, rag time,
Americana and impovisational jamming. Everything from fast paced cookin
with gas to slow eerie numbers of old. The way music is supposed to be. A
good time celebration. Come check us out!
