Bad Mary, Ian Bamberger Trio, The Defectives, Hannah Cranton, Dazz Lightburn & The Black Sheep

Drawing influence from the likes of Blondie and The Ramones, Green Day and No Doubt, Bad Mary has created their own strain of punk that takes you back to New York in the 70’s but with a modern vibe. Their first album, Better Days, garnered three first-round ballot Grammy nominations, for Best Rock Performance (Ninja, Forget About It) and Best Rock Song (Ninja). Both 'Forget About It' and 'Don't Know Where the Line Is' were played during the 2014 NBA finals at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. The band makes their home on Long Island, New York and have played classic venues such as Arlene’s Grocery, the Bowery Electric, the Trash Bar, and Revolution. They have scored airplay on both U.S. and U.K. radio and are currently writing songs for their next album.


The Defectives are a 4 piece rock & roll punk band based out of NYC. Formed by members of Avon Junkies, The Washington Riot, and more, in 2014, The Defectives is the next step for all of us.


DAB5, is a modern day Sly & the Family, from New Jersey. These dynamic gentlemen possess a uniquely blended sound that defies classification. Their album, Clarity, is best described as good-vibe music that can be received by all walks of life. Fans of the Grateful Dead, to ones of The Roots and John Legend, would equally catch the groove. Their sound is influenced by greats like Funkadelic, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, James Brown, the Black Keys, and D'angelo.

DAB5 has just released their debut album "Clarity" that is currently available on iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp and Google play. Streaming of the album is also available on Spotify, and Youtube.
Currently the guys are moving throughout the NYC tri-state area making appearances and spreading their infectious grooves..

DAB5, was founded by Darren Lightburn Jr., a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. With a specific vision and sound in mind. D crossed paths, and began to work with, Brandan "Tightpocket" Burton in 2012, an incredible drummer, with a groove more precise than a cobra. Shortly after, the duo merged with Rafael "Raja Jackal" Joson, the creative mind of the Head Monsters with a sugary sweet guitar stroke. This Trio established a tightness like no other, then tracked down Dylan "G-strang" Wheeler, the only guitarist in NJ funky enough to bring giants to their knees. "Joshieo Bunnyhorn" Simon, brought a new element to the band not long after. A sax man with more beauty in his expression than the Mona Lisa. Lastly, the Fee brothers entered the picture like a streaker across a world series field. Gerard "G-Man" Fee, a guitarist seasoned like an Emerald steak, and with his brother "Go!"Joe Fee, the creative (hypothetical), bass playing, offspring of Jaco Pastorius and The Vanguard's Pino Pallidino. It was all a match made in heaven. The DAB5 sound was established! This diverse group of gentlemen create magic.
