Slowey and the Boats
Slowey & the Boats are pioneers of Philadelphia’s Hawaiian jazz scene. A five-piece instrumental concern, S&TB deftly blend elements of traditional folk melodies, western swing, ballads, tangos, and Hawaiian party classics – and all before you’ve finished your first Mai Tai. Their music has something for everyone – young, old, cool, uptight.

The Deconstructionists
Born out of the eternal search for what's true, and the desire to pass on to the next generation only the things that can stand up to questioning, "The Deconstructionists" contains 12 honest songs that chronicle the difficult process of tearing apart one's deeply engrained mindsets. Accompanied by some of his Waiting for Cadence bandmates (Joe Stauffer, Joel Meck, and Dan Carpenter) and others, Chris takes the listener on a journey through the deconstruction process and, in some cases, back out again. Sonically dense on purpose, the listener should hear new things with each listen. Borrowing vibes from late 80's/early 90's alternative music as well as from the current indie and Americana scenes, Chris has created a layered sound that is interesting and unique. Cliches have no place in these writings as The Deconstructionists attempt to use words in new ways to describe the age-old search for truth.

Janie Rothfield and Allan Carr:
Appalachian and Scottish Roots Music
Allan grew up in Aberdeen, Scotland, in a musical family of singers, fiddlers, pipers and accordion players and surrounded by rich traditional music of the Northeast of Scotland. He is one of Scotland's finest singers and shares his stories and personal knowledge about the history of the old Scottish songs and ballads to bring them alive today. Janie's is an award winning fiddler and clawhammer banjo player who easily moves from Appalachian Old Time to Celtic music with her lively tunes and soulful singing.
Jane and Allan play traditional roots music that is directly from the source while expanding on that tradition with newly composed songs and tunes. Great singing, hot instrumentals and with Allan’s humor, always a whole lot of fun!
