Sounds alot like......Us! People ask all thge time what kind of music we play and I don't have a good answer. Its hard to pigeonhole this band into one specific genre. I guess the closest label would be Americana/Alt-Country. We are all music lovers of all types, and influenced by many bands, singers, writers & genres. I believe we are a steaming hot gumbo of all that. We definitley ramble the county line between Alt-Country and Rock. We have been compared to The Band with some Allman Brothers/Grateful Dead flavor. So, that being said, I'd love to hear your opinion. You tell me what or who you think we sound like. Give us a listen, soak it in & let us know.

After taking a twenty-five year hiatus from the glitz, glam and grind of music, singer Freddy Fickle decided it was time to start making noise again. After reconciling with guitarist T-Money, O.J.W. Re-emerged with a vengeance. The music is indescribable attitude theatrics and elements of Broadway. Introducing O.J.W. O.J.W.

Well, Unfortunately one of the bands is no longer together. We're working on getting another band to fill this spot. Stay tuned for an update.

Philpot

Philpot
Philpot sprouted from a flower shop in Dugger, Indiana (pop. 955),   a town without a stoplight. In this blink-and-you'll-miss-it rural setting a couple of hours southwest of Indianapolis, Philpot front man Kentz Ward toils by day among the blossoms and, by night, is joined by his five band mates, who grow their, by turns, rocking, bluesy, and emotive music inside the musical laboratory of the shop.            Hard rocking but melodic, Philpot is anchored by Caleb Smith and Josh Kennedy’s deeply layered wall of guitars, AJ Boone's ambient keyboards, and the propulsive rhythm section of Arthur Ready and Tyler Evans. Kentz Ward’s growling vocals -- and brooding, pugilistic (yet hopeful) -- lyrics complete the tapestry.

In the spring of 08' Jeff Randall decided to put a band together only for the purpose of playing a few shows. " i had no intention of making this a long term relationship, but after playing a couple of shows it was apparent to me and to everyone else, that there was something there." After solidifying the line up the band landed themselves a few opening slots for a couple of national acts. " To be honest I think we stole the shows." We dont pretend to be anything other than what we are. When we go play a show, we are there to make some noise and move people." added Raisner. After a few more shows throughout 2008 the band decided to head into "The Studio" in Scottland, Illinois to record a few songs. During a phone interview last week Randall explained the process. " We went in to record about twelve songs. At the end of day three we had recorded fifteen or more. By the end of the year we had twenty songs recorded. We all enjoy the studio, but for me its all about playing live. I wanted to be a band that I would want to see. To me it about being moved, being rocked,being rolled, escaping, sweating, sincerity and love. If someone doesn't feel any of those emotions then to me, we arent doing our job. Evertime we play it can go anywhere , but whats important to me is where it ends up. I want to people to walk away and have felt something, to me thats when I know we did our job and to be honest, we do it everytime.'

We had them light the bonfire at the 2008 Lower T Jamboree and everyone thought that it was pretty cool. Caleb Petticrew will be doing the honors this year.
"Lloyd Michaels and Bluetown" are setting the trend for contemporary electric blues. The band is made up of seasoned musicians with over a 100 years of combined live and studio experience, and a combined total of five albums being released throughout their musical careers. With all members having deep roots in the blues genre, their combined love of contemporary blues has created a tight knit sound that has created quite a buzz in the midwest blues community. Lloyd Michaels and Bluetown's sound is driven by clean, just on the edge, instrumentation and powerful throaty vocals. Their sets consist of many original numbers and covers of the great artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, and many other great blues musicians. Look for Lloyd Michaels and Bluetown at a show near you. If blues is your poison, you need not look any farther for your fix!
