Spacey, groove jam music with a mix of the folk rock style of the late 60’s and 70’s.
In Owego, NY during the summer of 2004 a band was born. This band weaves a groovy, spacey sound with thoughtful lyrics and poignant musicianship. In this sound you will hear the drum stylings of singer/song writer Tom Sheehy paired with the hand drumming of Tony Montana. The bass slappings of Ryan Marchewka and the guitar weildings of Jim Gale. Completed with keyboard/guitar/singer/songwriter Tom Sickler. Last but not least the group is visually enhanced by Photographer/Graphic Designer Seth Guiles. Together they prefer to be called The Spelunkers. The Spelunkers have played venues throughout the Northeast. Ranging from full size 1500+ sized venues to your local homegrown taverns. The band always reserves time to perform at charitable and community events as well as private parties and festivals. The band brings an energy and crowd involvement not commonly found in a live music environment. Drum jams easily spread from the stage to the floor as the band slowly hands out percussive instruments to participating and interested members of the audience. The groove becomes one of the room as a whole. There is never a dull moment at a show. From themed costumes to special guests, every night and every event is one to be remembered with The Spelunkers.
"Be Here Now" Festival Scheduled for Starks, ME, August 14-16
Starks, Maine -- The hill at Harry Brown's Farm will come ALIVE
with music, giant puppets, belly dancing, and fire twirling three days during tie "Be Here Now" Festival this August.
Organizers hope to build on the success of “Harry Hoe-Down,” the first festival held on the site this season, where thousands of people braved the late June rains to bring to life Harry Brown's vision of “free people assembling freely.” An icon of Maine's counter-culture, Brown has been hosting festivals on his land for nineteen years to support efforts to legalize marijuana in Maine.
