With a swagger reminiscent of the Black Crowes and a tight musicianship that will have you drawing comparisons to everyone from Led Zeppelin to the Allman Brothers, Nashville-based rock band THE VEGABONDS are just getting started. A mix of different musical interests laid the groundwork for the band’s debut album, Dear Revolution, and its follow-up, Southern Sons.

Both albums received critical acclaim, and after multiple songs splashed onto independent music charts (“Shaky Hands” climbed all the way to the top spot on the IAIRA indie music chart), the band promptly took their songs on the road.

2013 saw the release of the the band’s third studio recording, entitled RCA Studio B for the historic Nashville, TN studio where it was recorded.

As one of the hardest-working bands in the southeast, THE VEGABONDS have won over thousands of fans by maintaining an exhaustive touring schedule. Hundreds of shows and two European tours later, the band finds itself on the brink of a global takeover. The band’s high-energy, guitar-driven brand of rootsy rock & roll has made them a favorite across the globe, and the next year promises to be a breakout one for the band on a national stage.

THE SUMMIT Website Facebook

The Summit is an Ohio born supergroup firmly built on the foundation of soulful blues rock n’ roll. Highly energized performances and melody-infused anthems define the band as one of the region’s most powerful and heavily anticipated rock outfits.

The band includes Chris Scott (lead vocals/harp), Mike Hennel (drums/vocals), Leo Clarke (guitar/vocals) and David Heffron (bass/vocals). The Summit have taken some well-loved time-tested recipes and put their own mark on them. “You might be able to identify some of their influences, but they’re not just copying licks. You can cop an attitude, but you can’t fake soul. They got soul!”

Collectively, the group has over 60 years of tour experience; recording and playing with Grammy award winning and Hall of Fame inductees. Some of the artists they have recently shared the stage with include Robin Trower, Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, JJ Grey and Mofro, Rusted Root,Victor Wooten, Davy Knowles & Backdoor Slam, Blues Traveler, Indigenous, Candlebox, Seven Mary Three, Bernie Worrell, Peter Frampton, and Derek Trucks.

Most recently, Scott completed a residency down in Nashville, TN wiritng and performing with some of the country’s most accomplished musicians. He also worked with Grammy nominated artist and producer, Lincoln Parish (Cage the Elephant), on the production and release of Gypsy Comet’s EP entitled, Burn it Down.

Scott’s experiences in Nashville have placed him firmly back to his roots as a singer-songwriter and he raves about The Summit’s heavily anticipated new material by reaffirming the groups unique sound: “Working these guys over the past few months has made me realize how easy song-writing can be. I’ve been wiritng with Mike for well over 10 years and our library of material is endless. Leo’s incredible slide ability and the amazing respect he carries throughout so many blues markets has made us realize how collectively powerful this group is!”
