THE 4ONTHEFLOOR
THE 4ONTHEFLOOR
The 4onthefloor deliver stompin' blues at an alarming intensity. 4onthefloor was born in the bottom of a bourbon bottle with the idea that it’s effing time to have some fun and make amazing music as well. Audiences immediately took to the infectious driving feel of not one, but four bass drums pulsing to the beat of the songs. The music is inspired by the gutsy stomp of the Delta Blues and the hoe-downs from America’s past and present. While 4onthefloor prides themselves on their original songs, they also love putting their signature stomp on covers from the likes of Wilco to Tom Jones. This makes 4onthefloor one of the most entertaining bands on the Midwest music scene today, and the world tomorrow.

They pull no punches. They won’t bore you with trying to explain how multi-genre and indefinable they are. The 4onthefloor play rock music. The 4onthefloor play blues music. And they do it in 4/4 time. 4×4, The 4onthefloor’s debut album, showcases the band’s heavy-handed (or should we say heavy-footed) rhythm section that, when paired with lead singer Gabriel Douglas’ gritty, baritone vocals, makes the listener both nostalgic and ready to drink… or maybe even fight. Through gutsy Delta–Blues and classic Americana, The 4onthefloor put their signature stomp on these classic genres with not one but four bass drums pulsing to the beat of all 16 tracks. Inspired by The Doors, Muddy Waters, CCR, Howlin’ Wolf, Tommy James & the Shondells and Waylon Jennings to name a few, all four members operate on the same hard-hitting, bourbon-infused wavelength while keeping perfect time.
ROSTER MCCABE
Roster McCabe likes to stay one step ahead. Musically, people know they love it, but they can't fully describe it. The bands coined phrase “Funky Reggae Dance Rock” gives a good hint of what you can expect from the 5 piece rock band, but speaks nothing to the depth and sincerity of the music. Professionally, the band is leading the way in the independent music world.
THE BOYS N’ THE BARRELS
From Minneapolis, MN, The Boys n’ the Barrels are a modern Bluegrass band. With influences ranging from Old-time to Jazz and Rock, the Boys appeal to both traditional and contemporary tastes. Comprised of six members, instrumentation includes Banjo, Guitar, Fiddle, Mandolin, Harmonica, Upright Bass, and light Percussion. Their sound is energetic and creative. A deep, introspective message underlines the up-tempo, foot thumping melodies and hooks as The Boys explore subjects such as love, philosophy, environmentalism, booze, and death.
THE EVENING RIG
Camp Evening Rig pitched its first tent deep in the timbers of Minneapolis, where the ruggedly attractive founding counselors performed at the inaugural all-camp talent show, back in 2006. It went so well, the foursome hit the road, inheriting the camp’s name and touring other prominent campgrounds across this fine nation. Head Scout of A&R at Camp New West Records, Peter Jasperson had this to say: “The Evening Rig are one of those rare rock groups that seem to turn up out of nowhere, holding all of the goods.
