Cameo
Even in an era renown for its outlandish outfits, crazy on-stage antics, and deeply funky grooves, Cameo stood out from their contemporaries by turning up the theatrics to an 11. Led by codpiece-wearing eccentric Larry Blackmon, Cameo emerged in the late 1970s as the obvious successors to legendary funk groups like Parliament and the Ohio […]
Gov’t Mule
For nearly 30 years, Gov’t Mule has reigned as one of the nation’s premiere jam bands, delivering powerful blues rock with impeccable improvisational skills.

Reading Will Tucker’s impressive resume leaves the impression that the singer is a grizzled veteran of the music scene with decades of experience under his belt.

The Roots
Not only do Philadelphia’s The Roots stand as one of the most influential groups in hip-hop history, they are also among the most important musicians of their generation, regardless of genre. Perhaps most notable for being the first major hip-hop group to utilize live instrumentation, the Roots first launched into the public consciousness with their […]
Sleep Theory
Although Memphis’ Sleep Theory may be newcomers to the scene, they have announced their arrival with a bang. Formed in 2020 with vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Landen Terry, bassist Paolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt, Sleep Theory’s blend of metal, R&B, and pop has already made them a local sensation. “Another Way,” the band’s debut […]
Phony Ppl
Regardless of their group name, there is absolutely nothing fraudulent or inauthentic about Brooklyn’s Phony Ppl. In fact, the stylistically daring R&B/hip-hop group has built their stellar reputation on the foundation of artistic freedom. Composed of five classically trained members, Phony Ppl first garnered mainstream attention with the release of their official full-length debut Yesterday’s […]
