Never settling into a static mold, this DC based group thrives on live audience interaction. Snarky Puppy was formed in 2004 by bassist and primary composer Michael League. Snarky Puppy was signed by SiTMoM Records in fall of 2005 and subsequently recorded and released their first studio record, "The Only Constant," in winter of 2006. The CD has met critical acclaim from the industry's top musicians and representatives and has created a serious buzz among musicians and non-musicians alike. The group draws upon a variety of musical traditions compositionally, but is heavier on more modern styles, especially jazz, funk, fusion and drum n' bass.

The Pine Box Boys feature Lester T. Raww (guitar, vocals), Possum Carvidi (banjo, vocals), Col. Timothy Leather (standup bass) and Steve "Your Uncle" Dodds (drums and percussion). The Pine Box Boys play original and traditional murder ballads. With seven crewmen cleverly working the banjo, keyboards, lap steel guitar, bass, drums, three guitars and four-part vocal harmonies, San Francisco-based or, the whale is creating both sights and sounds to light the way for the disenchanted souls of todays placid alt-country/folk scene. By fusing the heart-wrenching reality of country music and the down-home, made-for-you-and-me honesty of folk with a tenacious, raspy rock sound, or, the whale is firing off a sound so undeniably infectious that feet, when in their presence, have been known to skip the middle man and start movin on their own.
