BoomBox songs also pull from a wide range of genres to cultivate a fusion of music that appeals to a broad audience. “The sound is about pulling from anything that you’d hear coming out of a boombox, and distilling into a distinctive style,” explains Godchaux. It’s this formula that gives BoomBox the unique ability to connect with any crowd regardless of age or origin.“There’s a special kind of chemistry between two brothers playing music together,” says Godchaux. BoomBox shows are characterized by a mixture of drum machines and live-mixed computer beats laid down by Mackay, which create the foundation for Godchaux’s electric guitar riffs and soulful vocals to layer on top of.In addition to touring with their live sets, the duo can also be found dropping down and dirty DJ sets at special club and festival appearances. Regardless of which form of BoomBox you may encounter, be prepared to be getting down like there’s no tomorrow.http://thisisboombox.com/https://www.facebook.com/thisisboomboxhttp://bit.ly/bbYoutubehttp://instagram.com/thisisboomboxhttps://soundcloud.com/thisisboombox Future Joy is a Future-Funk hybrid duo hailing from wherever their mobile RV stage is parked.

Y’all really need to check them out.” — Becky Buller, The Becky Buller Band “Listeners can expect a riveting ride through the terrain Stillhouse Junkies bring to life in their music, and a confirmation of why the group was voted the 2021 IBMA Momentum Band of the Year.” — No Depression “A sound that rings with resilience and resolve.”— Bluegrass Today https://stillhousejunkies.com https://www.facebook.com/stillhousejunkies https://www.instagram.com/stillhousejunkies https://music.apple.com/us/album/calamity/1501005420

When you see Cool Cool Cool in person, you’ll be swept up by the energy of their music and unforgettable live show. After spending more than a decade traveling the world together with the touring act Turkuaz, the members of Cool Cool Cool decided to team up and form their own band in 2022. Their shared experiences, from playing dive bars to international festival stages, helped them develop a close bond that goes far beyond music. In Cool Cool Cool, this bond translates into a powerful synergy that allows each band member to showcase their individual talents, creativity, and passion. Their debut single from Color Red Music, “Never Noticed” will be released on November 17th, 2023. The band creates a blend of Funk and R&B with a mix of lo-fi vibes for this grooving and dreamy track recorded at Color Red Studios.

John R Miller with Joe’s Truck Stop
Animas City Theatre PresentsJohn R Miller & Joe’s Truck StopWednesday August 14th$25 / $30 / 21+ Posted at 9:40am on 8/14 – Tickets available at the door $30 cash only General Admission – Limited Seating in Balcony John R Miller is a true hyphenate artist: singer-songwriter-picker. Every song on his thrilling debut solo album, Depreciated, is lush with intricate wordplay and haunting imagery, as well as being backed by a band that is on fire. One of his biggest long-time fans is roots music favorite Tyler Childers, who says he’s “a well-travelled wordsmith mapping out the world he’s seen, three chords at a time.” Miller is somehow able to transport us to a shadowy honkytonk and get existential all in the same line with his tightly written compositions. Miller’s own guitar-playing is on fine display here along with vocals that evoke the white-waters of the Potomac River rumbling below the high ridges of his native Shenandoah Valley. Depreciated is a collection of eleven gems that take us to his homeplace even while exploring the way we can’t go home again, no matter how much we might ache for it. On the album, Miller says he was eager to combine elements of country, folk, blues, and rock to make his own sound. Recently lost heroes like Prine, Walker, and Shaver served as guideposts for the songcrafting but Miller has completely achieved his own sound. The album is almost novelistic in its journey, not only to the complicated relationship Miller has with the Shenandoah Valley but also into the mind of someone going through transitions. “I wrote most of these songs after finding myself single and without a band for the first time in a long while,” Miller says. “I stumbled to Nashville and started to figure things out, so a lot of these have the feel of closing a chapter.” Joe’s Truck Stop: From a ridge in the Ohio River Valley, on a front porch where Kentucky’s visible through the winter’s bare trees, Joe Truck Stop conspires over a smoking blend of Bluegrass, Honky Tonk, Western Swing, and whatever else finds itself inhaled and manifested by way of a wood box and steel wire…Years of digesting so much of the Country Blues lexicon and traveling the country learning the numerous styles of fiddlers, writers, and travelers alike has led to the original music that comes by way of Joe’s Truck Stop.

Mike Love & The Full Circle with Cas Haley and Sound Destroyer
The Animas City Theatre PresentsMike Love & The Full CircleCas Haley & Sound DestroyerWednesday September 25th 2024$32 / $35 / 21+ Tickets on sale Friday May 31st at 10:00amRevolutionary music may seem hard to come by in these times, but that doesn’t mean the revolution isn’t still brewing. Meet Hawaii’s Mike Love – who spreads his positive and powerful message across the globe. Love developed a unique style and sound rooted in the spirituality and message-based music of reggae and Rastafari, while also fusing progressive and classic rock, soul, blues, flamenco, jazz, classical, and more. At the core of Mike’s music, is healing – he is an active social, animal and environmental rights advocate, using his music as a tool to educate and unite. Love started playing guitar at the age of 15, and soon after began performing live as front man for 10-piece band Dubkonscious. He then furthered his talents as a composer/lyricist, arranger and also producer on the band’s album At the Foot of the Mountain. He then began to hone what has now become an internationally recognized, power-packed, one-man-band style show, using looping, multiple instruments and an array of different vocal techniques and musical styles to create a full and powerful sound that belies the fact that he is on stage alone. Love’s solo performances have since taken him to some of the largest stages in the world. December 2012 saw the release of Love’s first solo album, critically acclaimed The Change I’m Seeking. The album features his hit track Permanent Holiday, which went viral on YouTube and currently has more than 32 million views [2022], expanding his fan base to the furthest corners of the globe.https://mikelovemusic.comhttps://www.bandsintown.com/a/12696690-mike-lovehttps://www.instagram.com/mikelovemusichttps://music.apple.com/us/artist/mike-love/369245https://open.spotify.com/artist/2sgVQmhRbgSEe47A1bJRrC Cas Haley burst on to the scene in 2007 on nbc’s Americas Got Talent, performing his Acoustic Reggae cover of The Police’s ‘Walking On the Moon”.
