Performer of the Week: Lowest Lanes

The wonderful trio, The Lowest Lanes consist of Kris Rochard, Mark McNeil and Meredith MacLeod.

Each one is a talented musician in their own right but together, they create magic with their great harmony vocals and amazing guitar/banjo/mandolin work. Their music is a great mix of roots, folk, and country.

According to their MySpace page, the band is currently working on their first CD. That should be a real treat.

Performer of the Week: Stinky and the Hot Rodz

If you like your music on the harder side, then Stinky and the Hot Rodz is the band for you.

The group's sound is hard edge rockabilly with elements of funk, country and more. What other band can do Johnny Cash, Men at Work, Metallica, and Soundgarden and make them sound like they were meant to be played together?
