About Mason Porter: From a whisper to a roar Mason Porter will take you by surprise. Combining lush harmonies with hand clapping sing-alongs and the unfiltered emotion of a hungry young rock band, Mason Porter is a force that evokes the spirits of each and every person whose life they touch. Call it folk, rock, bluegrass, blues or country; Mason Porter is all of these. Through creative songwriting and constant experimentation Mason Porter is a group of musicians working together to push the limits of traditional American music. This is clearly evident on the bands first full length album Thunder In The Valley (Uncle Nicky Records, 2009). Mason Porters’ story begins the way folk music has been shared for centuries, with friends sharing songs and singing together. With each member being part of different musical projects though the years; the band came to together through late night jam sessions in West Chester, PA. Through this process the core of the band was born in late 2006 with Tim Celfo on upright bass, Joe D’Amico on mandolin, and Paul Wilkinson on guitar. Since the band has grown to include many regular members including Brad Hinton (Dorbro), Kiley Ryan (violin), Pat Hughes (drums), Bob Beach (harmonica), and Isaac Stanford (pedal steel). About Painted Blue: Like a band of misfit gypsies, you would probably expect to be pick pocketed and thieved by the band members of Painted Blue. In fact, they steal the hearts and breath of their listeners away with their very special blend of bluegrass, folk, jam-band and old-timey music. While Painted Blue can bring the house down with high energy rhythms and break-neck licks that would make your favorite grandma get up and dance, the group can also bring a sensitive soul to tears with songs of longing, hardship, and woe. A haphazard group, Painted Blue may appear at first sight a motley quartet of random souls thrown together for the mere benefit of merry-making and tom foolery. But don't be misled! The music is the tie that binds these folks together and wraps their audiences up, shakes them about, and leaves them all thirsting for more. Painted Blue released their first labor of love, Time Rolls On, in 2007 to fans everywhere. About Dan Wilde: Dan Wilde is a singer-songwriter from Blackpool, England.
