Bill Kirchen

Named ‘A Titan of the Telecaster’ by Guitar Player Magazine.

Last Train Home
Over its eight-year existence, LAST TRAIN HOME has evolved from a five-piece part-time band in Washington D.C. to what critic Peter Cooper of the Nashville Tennessean calls "one of the country's most formidable roots-rock bands." And while roots-rock is the core of Last Train Home's sound, don't overlook the country, swing, bluegrass, folk, mariachi, pop, punk, and Tin Pan Alley influences you'll find if you give this band a listen.

The Grandsons
A fan aptly described The Grandsons exuberant sound as "American music in a blender with the lid off." The more prominent elements in this eclectic whirlpool are New Orleans rhythm and blues, rockabilly, swing and country two steps. |

The Woodshedders
The character and charisma of the Jazz age, Old-Time, Bluegrass, Celtic, Country, Rap, Rock, and Rhythm & Blues are brought forward by this talented bunch to render a genuinely fresh original music that honors heroes and heritage, but defies age or genre. Original Hot Appalachian Jazz is the current tag.

Adrian Duke Projek
Drenched with the sounds of New Orleans, Adrian Duke's piano is overshadowed only by the raw emotional power of his voice. Although he has found a home as a Blues artist, by blurring the lines between Blues, Funk, R&B, and Jazz, he has found critical acclaim, audience acceptance, and artistic peer recognition.
