JULY 7th – WHOSE MUDDY SHOES?
The Whose Muddy Shoes acoustic band emphasizes high energy arrangements with full bodied vocal harmony, playing blues, jazz, swing, folk, country and other classic Americana along with original tunes. The quartet features acoustic guitar, bass, clarinet and saxophone, with three and four part vocal harmony.
Whose Muddy Shoes has been together for over ten years as an acoustic quartet, and has played in Boston and New England venues including Club Passim, Johnny D's, the Newburyport Waterfront concert series and New Year's First Night, the Blackthorne Tavern, and the Colonial Inn, and the former Old Vienna. http://www.facebook.com/whosemuddyshoes
JULY 21st – ALTERNATE ROUTES
The Alternate Routes were formed as an outgrowth of a meeting between songwriting partners Eric Donnelly (lead guitar) and Tim Warren (lead vocals, guitar) at Fairfield University in Connecticut. Expanding to a five-piece and based at one point in Boston, the band was working out of Bridgeport, CT. Whatever fate has in store for this promising young band, it’s sure to make for a good story…and an even better song. The Alternate Routes have never been afraid to roll the dice during their brief and turbulent journey, always relying upon their heartfelt brand of music to pull them through the ups and downs that come with the territory. It’s a trait evident in their powerful Vanguard Records debut, Good and Reckless and True, a memorable, incredibly confident opening statement from a band that takes nothing for granted. The album emphasizes straightforward guitar rock, with occasional gentler songs more in the singer/songwriter style.

AUGUST 4th – AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER
MTV Video Music Award Nominee and 2010 Boston Music Conference Winners Air Traffic Controller have teamed up with legendary power-pop maestro/producer, Bleu, and signed on with Sugarpop Records. Their extraordinary debut album, “The One” has been shaking up the airwaves in 2010 and into 2011. Serving in the US Navy as a real-life air traffic controller, singer/songwriter Dave Munro sent home 4-track demo tapes of songs written during his deployment. With his enlistment up, Munro returned to hometown Boston and discovered an impressive number of fans, prompting the genesis of the aptly-named rock band Air Traffic Controller. Accolades and award nominations soon followed; as did airplay on tastemaker radio stations such as WFNX and WERS, and coverage in publications such as Business Week, Boston Herald, Performer Magazine, Boston Globe and the Boston Phoenix.
