"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Event: Live Reggae! Date: Sat, June 6, 2009
Shayar and Krooshal Force to play at Rivermont Pizza! Shayar is a former guitarist from the world-renouned reggae band Burning Spear, and will bring the positive vibes at 10pm Saturday!
Groova Scape is one hardworking band, writes Tad Dickens of the Roanoke Times (http://blogs. roanoke. com/rtblogs/cutnscratch/about-tad-dickens/). "Groova gets the work because it can live up to its name." Longtime music promoter and sound man Gary Jackson is equally impressed. "They have three or four songs that are as good as any songs that have ever been written," Jackson says of Groova's original music, composed by former Groova bassist Marcus Morris and guitarist/keyboardist Henry Lazenby. Michael Travis of EOTO and String Cheese Incident fame jammed with Groova Scape when the Virginia jam band opened for EOTO in April. Travis said it was the first time in his many years of playing that he had been inclined to jam with an opening band. "You guys rock," Travis said after cooking through a 15 minute version of Power Down, one of the band's originals. Another bassist, Hash, of Thievery Corporation, offered similar praise after jamming with Groova Scape last January. "Those guys are amazingly creative," he said.
In light of the holidays and tight economy, Groova Scape is making one of its originals, The Revolution, available as a free download starting noon Thursday December 18 at its myspace website; http://myspace. com/thegroova
