The Infamous Swanks
The Infamous Swanks are a high energy, fast paced rockabilly trio from Northern CA. With the revival of all things early Americana, the 50's and early 60's culture has made a large resurgence into the modern era, bringing rockabilly music with it. The Infamous Swanks represents this revival of attitude and sound that encapsulates all that is traditional as well as new about this celebrated style. Writing the soundtrack of this resurgence, and playing together since 2005, The Swanks have extensive road and tour experience, and they bring a unique swagger to the thing they love most, making the people dance and dishing out only the very best musical performances and stage presence!

The Woolly Bandits
It all began with a legendary 60’s group The Seeds. When original front man Sky Saxon joined up with Rik Collins, bassist for the Woolly Bandits. Rik took them on four European tours and three National tours. They also released the critically acclaimed “Red Planet” album. When fans and industry types wanted to know who the younger band was backing Sky, Rik along with guitarist Mark Bellgraph decided to start The Woolly Bandits, named after a nickname one of Sky’s girlfriends had given him. Since then Sky is no longer with us. But The Woolly Bandits carry on in the spirit of The Seeds. As a three piece The Bandits released “Say Hello To My Little Friend” But things were about to change radically in the form of a new female lead singer. The Woolly Bandits motto is “fear no music” so don’t try and box them in, they’ll smash! Their story is still being written….. Listen to tracks |

TILLI
Music is where the magic is. It can call on things unseen and bring them to light. When properly invoked, new spins on old tales and old spins on new tales come to life in word, groove, melody and atmosphere. Tilghman lives comfortably in her musical world. At once creating and being created by it, she joyously navigates the shadowy seas and dizzying cliffs, the pagan dance and the blue gothic ways of her southern spirit. Born in Starkville Mississippi, she left the nest as a teenager and began traveling the world gathering experiences as diverse as painting Tibetan temples, modeling in New York and Europe, immersing herself in the culture and music in India and gathering tools for her artistic life as part of a mystical school. All the while absorbing the sounds of the street, the concert hall, the dance club. Tilghman’s Ships is the album she’s lived and breathed into existence with the help of Producer/Multi-Instrumentalist Alain Johannes (Queens Of The Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, Eleven).
