Grayson

​GRAYSON, two-time Grammy nominated artists, is a four-piece band from South Jersey that pulls from their influences of jazz, blues, and soul to get their extremely unique and modern sound. The band formed from a collection of lifelong friends and music nerds who met in middle school and just couldn't get enough of Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Beatles, and Joe Pass. Their brand of entertainment fuses face-melting breakdowns and feel good melodies with passionate lyricism about love, heartache, and growing up as a young man in today's world.

The unpredictable chord progressions and lyrics stem from guitar player and lead singer Matt Grayson.Charlie Peters (drums) keeps time locked in with his younger brother, David (Bass), who sings backup vocals as well. Al Grayson (keyboard) adds the "magic" to Graysons sound by complimenting vocal melodies with his own new sound. And now, they have been considered for a Grammy nomination twice for Just Like Dreams and now, Daily Drinking!

Sam Morrow Band

Five albums into an acclaimed career, Sam Morrow has carved out a sound that exists somewhere outside of genre and geography. It’s his own version of modern-day American roots music: a mix of roadhouse rock & roll, bluesy R&B, and country-fried funky-tonk, driven forward by groove, grease, and guitars.

It’s also a sound that owes as much to the road — where Morrow spent most of the past decade on tour, supporting albums like Concrete & Mud and Gettin’ By On Gettin’ Down — as the various places he’s called home. This is music for the fast lane. Music for empty highways. Music for people who, like Morrow, always seem to find themselves in transit.

“I feel like I’m searching for something,” he says. “I’ve been on some kind of journey. Maybe I don’t know what I’m looking for, exactly, but I’m keeping my eyes open.”

The Cinelli Brothers

The CINELLI BROTHERS band has a huge following in the U.K. and Europe, where they’ve been tearing up the club and festival scene for the past few years. The band’s new album, recorded in 2023 in Woodstock, N.Y., has been the MOST PLAYED ALBUM by the IBBA (U.K. Independent Blues Broadcasters Association) in February and March of this year!  And they are now planning a September/October U.S. tour.

​

The band’s first appearance in the U.S. was to play in the International Blues Competition in Memphis in 2023, where they won SECOND PLACE. They gained additional U.S. fans when they played on Joe Bonamassa’s 2023 “Keeping the Blues Alive Mediterranean” cruise.

With roots in blues and soul and the British blues/rock bands of the 60s, the band’s original music has elements of blues, funk, soul and jazz which together produce a wonderful stew that folks are calling “New Blues.” A 21st century British invasion? Could be. They play predominantly original material at their shows as well as some blues standards, which they play with an excitement and vitality that is distinctive in today’s blues scene.
