TnT

Catch an emotional wave of accoustic and electric blues with the TnT duo Tim Taylor and Tony Perkins. TimTaylor, Guitar, Vocals and Harmonica, began singing and playing guitar in 1966. His dues were paid and played with road bands, bar bands and show bands from St. Louis to Denver. TnT is a side project from his curent band Cold Blue which is now in it's 15th year. Tony, Bass and Vocals, puts a solid blues handle on the bass guitar and that makes every groove he plays feel and sound so good.  Versatile and fun to watch, Tony  plays to live and lives to play.  Touring and performing over the years has seasoned this bluesman into a superb musician and performer.

The Mojo Roots

Anyone who says “the blues is dead” hasn't heard The Mojo Roots. This four piece band from Missouri is unabashed about its genre and dedicated to keeping the blues alive for another generation. Their approach to traditional blues songs is both fresh and classic, akin to restoring that '57 Chevy instead of buying this year's model. The band's lively original songs, written by vocalist and harp player Jordan Thomas, display fantastic instrumentation and catchy, yet often contemplative lyricism. Trevor Judkins's incredible lead guitar work commands the attention of any audience, with precise, punchy leads and slide playing reminiscent of a young Duane Allman. With Jim Rush's punchy bass lines and drummer Andy Naugle's tightly controlled rhythm, The Mojo Roots deliver a blues tour-de-force both live and in the studio. The Mojo Roots

Man in the Ring

Man In The Ring is a 5 piece rock band with a world of influences. They touch on Reggae, Rock, Funk, Jazz, and Latin styles, with killer classical and folk violin in the mix. The rhythmic lyrics border on hip-hop at times and the song structures scream pop!

After releasing their self titled LP in December of 2009, the boys have been busy living the dream and filling requests of Columbia to play around town and for local events. The band has never had a lack of inspiration or passion, “One of our favorite things is the challenge of creating a musically appropriate texture, that fits between the rhythm section of Drake, Kyle Day, Nate, and Brad's guitar and the lead voices of Kyle Pudenz's violin and Brad's vocals.”  http://www.facebook.com/maninthering
