Live Bands | #-A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z

Caliber

Genre: Country A professional - high energy group that is well-rehearsed and delivers a diverse range of today’s modern country music. By focusing on two charismatic lead vocalists - adding the diversity of multi instruments from one song to the next, they complete the musical journey throughout the performance with a careful blending of 3-4 supporting background vocals. The musical styles they produce become endless. Mandolin, Banjo, Pedal Steel Guitar, and much more. It's all there in one unique package of talent provided by these six individuals. This is not something usually found from this level of local/regional talent.

Carolina Jazmine

enre: Rock | Jazz | Blues In a town where hip hop and metal rule the waves, Carolina Jazmine brings soul to an area ripe for a new sound. Hailing from north east Ohio, this quartet of young bloods mix classic jazz/blues with fresh indie rock. The band pays homages to past greats like Pink Floyd, The Doors, and Miles Davis along with modern Indie artists like The National and Beirut, all the while making the sound completely their own. Dont let their ages fool you. Talent runs deep among the four twenty some year old multi instrumentalists and they prove it with their self titled debut album that they self recorded in the fall of 2010. The album seems to be an indication of a brighter future with a bigger sound to come, but the live stage is where the band really shines; the leading keys are accompanied by soaring trumpets, jamming baselines, reactive drumming, and guitar riffs that are used sparingly but with purpose.
