Three Blind Mice

Three Blind Mice is Victor North- saxophones, Lucas Brown- organ, and Wayne Smith Jr.- drums. Formed in the early 2000's by the intuition of Victor North, the trio's chemistry was immediate and thus began what would become Three Blind Mice: a modern organ trio steeped in the traditions of Jazz. Originally hailing from Alaska, the now long-time transplant Victor teamed up with Philadelphians Lucas Brown and Wayne Smith, both of whom persevere to carry on the great tradition of rhythm section players from their hometown. Together the three have forged their own sound and feature an expansive repertoire that is constantly growing with new original compositions

Cherry Poppin' Daddies

Active since: 1989

Ever since they first formed some 25 years ago, the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies made it their mission to veer from genre to genre across the musical map, choosing to follow their own muse regardless of feedback from fans and critics alike. Truth be told, individuality and defiance have always been part of the band’s DNA, and have, in turn, reinforced their rebellious reputation. Granted, though that image is well deserved, the ability to bend the boundaries has been simultaneously tempered and informed by an adherence to an older, now vanished tradition, grounded in Tin Pan Alley, Swing music and the great American songbook. According to the band’s longtime leader, singer/songwriter Steve Perry, the band’s mantra has remained the same – “the obstacle is the path”, that is, to pursue unexpected and difficult avenues that challenge both themselves as artists and modern sensibilities while at the same time adhering to standards and erstwhile traditions of American popular song. To that point, the band’s new opus titled Please Return the Evening: The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies Salute the Music of the Rat Pack – was designed as a challenge to their craftsmanship in the recording studio, attempting to do justice to original magnificent, orchestral arrangements and recordings, while being limited to their 8 piece band inside a small Eugene, Oregon recording studio. The recording taps into a tradition established by three of the hippest singers of all time, unique personalities that helped patent the concept of cool

Microkingdom

Microkingdom is somehow an oddity in Baltimore’s expansive and already odd music scene. Separately, Marc Miller (guit), Will Redman (perc) and John Dierker (reeds) have each been vital proponents of underground rock, free improv, jazz, and avant garde composition in America’s Comeback City for years. In 2006 they started rehearsing together in a disused room of an auto body shop and playing raucous live shows to an eclectic and enthusiastic audience (Whartscape, Mobtown Modern, the Red Room, etc.). Microkingdom’s well-received but scarce debut EP Wrenches: My Heart/Double Abacus was recorded quickly in 2007 and released in early 2008
