From Sinatra to Sting, Java Groove is a small 4-piece band with a big sound. It all started in 2015 by the founding members of the swing band, The Shiny Lapel Trio. When people ask what kind of music they play, they tell them, jazzy, swingy, ballady, kinda stuff. The idea behind Java Groove is to have a stripped-down swing band with the same effect and vibe of a horn section.

The Subliminals is an instrumental jazz/groove project from southeastern Connecticut. The group is a collective of diverse musicians whose talent is truly amazing, bringing years of experience to each performance.

The Kenn Morr Band tours in support of its latest album, Still Shining, a collection of heartfelt original songs featuring rich three-part harmonies and soulful musicianship.

Long-time popular solo artists, T-Bone Stankus (guitar) and Brian Gillie (keyboards) have teamed up as The Elderly Brothers, serving up mint-condition “oldies” rock ‘n’ roll with pitch-perfect harmonies and soulful improvisations as fresh as the originals.  No sleepwalk down memory lane with these guys.  Their radiant renditions, audience interaction, dancing groove and dose of mischief make their ‘50s and ‘60s rock-hop repertoire a unique and contagious kind of fun, and a joyous celebration of some good ol’ fashioned shake, rattle and roll.  sh BOOM!

The Shoreline Jazz Quintet or SJQ includes Mike Bimonte on drums, Deepak Cyril D’Souza on saxophones, Rich Meyers on vibraphone, with Steve Roane on acoustic bass and Steve Wood on electric guitar.
