The Bad Companions

Star of stage & screen, Al Subola (lead vocals, guitar) has previously sung and picked with rockabilly legends, the Vibro Champs, where he was the lead guitarist & primary songwriter. Bassist Bill Keefe is also a Vibro Champs vet and even had a brief stint with James Brown's drummer - Clyde Stubblefield. Hayden Grooms (drums) of the Hillions plays it straight and is always in the pocket. Dan Gaarder (vocals, guitar) of Roe Family Singers & Trailer Trash fame is a talented picker & singer and knows all the classic country songs that you don't! This stellar combo plays with flash and panache. Check ‘em out!

BlackWidows.jpg

Black Widows is a punk surf-rock band from Minneapolis. The band was founded by guitarist Corinne Caouette and bassist Pamela Laizure. Drummer/ percussionist Kim Mancini has been holding down the throne since 2018. Black Widows’ storm of wily surf guitar and gritty girl-group harmonies ride the waves of easy, sleazy bass grooves and hip switchin,’ heavy hittin’ beats. The band has played on many stages throughout the US with notable bands like Shonen Knife, Bombino, and Messer Chups. They will be touring all summer throughout the US/Europe and are currently writing a full length record.
