"Ramblin" Dan Stevens performs an eclectic mix of traditional fingerstyle blues, popular songs and originals and has entertained audiences throughout the US, Germany, UK, Canada and Virgin Islands. Of special interest is his unique style of "bottleneck" slide playing popularized by early Mississippi delta bluesmen including his use of a homemade, three stringed "Cigar Box Guitar" and one stringed "Diddly Bow", both primitive blues instruments. As a finalist in the International Blues Challenge '08 on Beale St. in Memphis TN and protege of the legendary Dave Van Ronk, Dan has been lauded for his ability as a raconteur and for the authenticity of his approach gained by many years on the road as a traveling blues musician.
Known for their infectious enthusiasm, their song selections span decades and many genres of music. Loriann & Bloomer knit these songs into a seamless show making sitting still in your seat nearly impossible

Having just released their 20th record, married duo the Sawtelles are a balance of four elements, guitar in alternate tuning, various drum kit configurations, and two voices. Sparse but intricately arranged pop that is as lush as it is threadbare makes what is played just as important as what isn’t.
Kevin Vidou has been living in the music world since childhood, diving head first into every facet possible. While he is currently working as a tech on the road, providing an intimate singer/songwriter experience with some best friends is his true passion. Connection with the music and emotional curation are what drive the show, and a bad joke from time to time is to be expected. Take some time to enjoy yourself and listen to soulful original music and creative takes on the classics.

Hope you can catch a show
I'm Geoff Matesky and I am a solo singer/guitarist and producer based on the Connecticut shoreline, with proximity to Southern New England and the New York Tri-State area. I play an eclectic mix of classic acoustic, alternative and modern rock at clubs and bars as well as weddings, indoor and outdoor events, including benefits and private parties.
I've been a professional entertainer for over 30 years. I am a graduate of the Hartt School of Music (1990) with a degree in jazz guitar and electronic music and studio production. I’ve been performing professionally as a solo guitarist and vocalist since the mid ‘80s, working all sizes of rooms; from bars and pubs to several thousand seat auditoriums. My formal education in music has given me the tools and the knowledge to adapt to a wide variety of performing situations on-the-fly; knowing what to play and when has always been my specialty. And if I don’t currently have it in my playlist, I can usually add it in no time at all.
The Music. Variety is the key. My mission is to give the people what they want, while paying homage to some of the greatest songs and artists of our time. From Van Morrison, to Sublime, to James Taylor, to Hoagie Carmichael - Something for everyone. Click on any of the links under Demo Music or visit my Demo Music Page for a sampling of my sound and artistic scope, or you can access my demo tracks directly on SoundCloud.com. You can get a complete listing of my repertoire on my song list page.
The Art of the "Cover". Herein lies the challenge, and one that I’m continually learning from each and every time I perform, no matter how small or large the venue: What kills in one room may fall flat in another and knowing what works, when and where is an art I am constantly striving to master. I invite you to check out my demo music and song list and please leave me feedback on my contact page. Whether yours is a one-time event, or a longer running engagement -- if you feel it could be a fit, I look forward to working with you to design the perfect set list for the perfect occasion.
