Vibes of ’95 featuring The Blue Dogs, Jupiter Coyote, and Cravin’ Melon.
The Blue Dogs have been blending the genres they grew up with – bluegrass, country, rock & soul since 1987. “Turning bluegrass on its ear by creating what’s now referred to as ‘Americana’ or ‘alternative country’ before those terms were commonplace” [Charlotte Observer]. More than 30 years later, The Blue Dogs continue to perform unpredictable and upbeat live shows with original songs that capture a country-rock vibe.
Jupiter Coyote has played over five thousand shows, traveled everywhere and done just about everything a touring band can do in the course of their 34-year history. The innovative group has independently sold over a million CDs, tens of thousands of downloads, and who knows how many bootlegs they cut loose to fans for free. JC is a pioneering cornerstone in the jam band scene. They have been called the new twist in southern rock and they deliver it with a relaxed, worldly view. Their sound has been labeled “Mountain Rock” — a mixture of Southern Appalachian boogie, bluegrass-infused, funk-rock.
JC plays it the way they feel it — with little regard as to where they fall between the cracks of what is considered trendy and fashionable. A band prolific in its writing, skilled in its musicianship and congenial in its nature, they remain the prototype of the truly independent band. They handle all business in-house and own their own record label, which is distributed internationally through Red Eye Worldwide.
Cravin’ Melon was formed at Clemson University in 1994 and gained popularity in the regional live music scene. In 1997, they signed to Mercury Records and released Red Clay Harvest. The album spawned a minor radio hit, “Come Undone”, which peaked at #37 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart. The band’s style and geographical roots prompted frequent comparisons to contemporaries and tourmates Hootie & the Blowfish and Edwin McCain.
