THE ORWELLS

The Orwells graduated last year (from high school in Elmhurst, Illinois) to critical acclaim at Lollapalooza, and graduate again this year as the young rockers had a legendary showing on David Letterman - see the Rolling Stone article at (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-orwells-react-to-instantly-infamous-letterman-performance-20140116) and will become featured performers at RiotFest and Bonnaroo among other notable performances scheduled throughout the year.

Antony & The Tramps

 

Antony & The Tramps, fronted by the talented Antony Ablan are destined for great things as they blend rich harmonies, inspired flute and other woodwinds, a stand up base, talented dueling guitars, and some richly textured tunes into a really unique sound.

Tedeschi Trucks Band was formed a few years ago when the legendary guitar demigod Derek Trucks (Allman Brothers, his own band) and wife Susan Tedeschi (a talented blues guitar player who has graced the stage with Buddy Guy and many other guitar virtousos) merged their seperate and talented bands together to form a true super group.  Look for them on the farm at Bonnaroo this summer.  Their live album version of "Midnight in Harlem" is an absolute gem.
