Butch McCarthy is a singer/songwriter from New Bedford, Massachusetts. He has been performing throughout New England since the 1970's with various bands and solo. "No More" is his first solo album since "Prevail" in 2011 and consists of 10 newly penned songs backed up with a talented array of local musicians.

Mike Couto began entertaining at Stonehill College in 1963 as a member of The Country Squires, a folk-singing foursome. Fifty years later, he is still at it, singing his original songs and other crowd favorites at local venues on the Southcoast of Massachusetts. Many of Mike’s songs refer to his hometown of New Bedford, his Portuguese heritage and the love of his life, his wife Jo-Ann. They include New Bedford And Friends, Summertime in New England, A Real Azorean Guy and High Tide in Honolulu.

The Accidental Band was formed in 2014 – a coalition of two musical units: The Accidentals and The Gentlemen of leisure. Founder Butch McCarthy was a member of both trios and the blending of the two resulted in the new band: The Accidental Band. The Accidentals consists of Butch on guitar and vocals, Angel Dombrowski on violin and vocals and Bob Calderara on mandolin and vocals. The Accidentals lean heavily on bluegrass and folk influences. The Gentlemen of Leisure consist of Butch, Steve Mazza on fretless bass and JB Borges on drums- The Gentlemen borrowed from rock, folk, blues and Americana music. The inevitable blending of the two styles resulted in an amazing new sound. The new album “Middleville” consists of 13 original songs all written by the members of the band and released in March 2015

Fueled by a bass-and-drums combo sharing Pennsylvania roots and Portuguese ancestry, and fronted by one of Central Illinois’ most aggressive diabetic guitarist/vocalists, the Cambridge, MA-based trio BAD FOGELBERG churns out a brand of distorted power pop that will leave its Boston audience humming the hooks of songs they’ve just lost their hearing to LONG after the show’s over.

Recalling the glory days of ‘80s punk (X, Black Flag) and ‘90s alternative (Pearl Jam, Veruca Salt, Smashing Pumpkins), BAD FOGELBERG’s brand of rock is a mix of hooks, humor, furious guitar, and ferocious drums that’s original enough to make even the most disgruntled Gen Xer think that maybe, just maybe, rock is not dead after all.

"Driving To Oahu"

Blue Hollow was a Boston-area band that started out as the Gluons. They released a 4-song e.p. in 1983 featuring mid-tempo punkers that were representative of that time and place. Two years later, they re-invented themselves as a more serious post-punk/goth outfit, incorporating careful use of synthesizer in spots, and the slightest prog-like increase in length. These guys broke from the music scene by recording 8 tracks of varying sophistication, most highlighted by an atmospheric accent. This sound is strongly reminiscent of Chameleons UK, but with fewer guitar overdubs and political themes.
