Kanvus
Kanvus is a 5 piece San Francisco jam-band, styling in rock, blues, funk and folk fusions. They combine high dosage jams with expressive lyrics to create a contagious sound, packed with energy and positive vibe. Kanvus began in the spring of 2007 and has quickly become the new San Francisco flavor for the jam scene. Each member of Kanvus brings a lively link to the groove chain.
Kanvus is excited to be a part of three amazing nights of music in February. Kanvus will be at the Fillmore Poster Room in San Francisco on February 9th with friends New Monsoon and EOTO. We will also be sharing the stage with Perpetual Groove on February 20th at Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz as well as February 22nd with P Groove at the Mystic in Petaluma.
Montana Slim
 |
Montana Slim is an up-and-coming new grass string band from San Francisco. Combining diverse musical backgrounds and influences, they have succeeded in crafting a sound all their own. Built upon invigorating live performances, peppered with dueling melodic fiddle, mandolin and acoustic guitar improvisation, Montana Slim will have the dance floor swaying. Passionate vocal harmonies, reflective lyrical tales, and solid foundational bass rhythms can all be heard in Montana Slim’s creative youthful interpretation of bluegrass. The original Montana Slim outfit began in the summer of 2006 with the completion of their debut EP which was produced by Tim Bluhm of The Mother Hips. Montana Slim has since evolved into a high energy five-piece string band, and is back in the studio recording their first full length LP, due out in the late spring/early summer of 2008. Just as their namesake from Jack Kerouac’s novel, Montana Slim is currently On the Road to promote the new record and will be looking forward to expanding their touring horizons as summer approaches.

Ten Mile Tide
 |
Ten Mile Tide is a San Francisco-based six-piece that plays a smooth blend of feel-good acoustic rock, foot-stomping folk, and beer-drenched bluegrass. Artists such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young have influenced the band's strong focus on songwriting. Influences such as the Allman Brothers, the Grateful Dead, and The Band further define Ten Mile Tide's dynamic live sound.
Formed in 1999, the group is composed of Jason (lead electric guitar, vocals) and Justin Munning (rhythm acoustic guitar, vocals), Steve Kessler (fiddle), Jeff Clemetson (bass), Matt Mitchel (keys) and John Morales (drums).
Ten Mile Tide has shared the stage with other national touring acts such as The Wailers, Dispatch, moe., MOFRO, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Strangefolk, The Clumsy Lovers, Railroad Earth, and The Slip and has played festivals such as CMJ, High Sierra Music Festival, Wakarusa, Three Rivers Festival, and Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival.
In the summer of 2004, Ten Mile Tide was selected as one of 10 finalists in Relix magazine’s Jamoff competition out of a pool of over 200 unsigned bands. The band has also been featured in the June issue of the magazine, and their song "Sweet Life" was included on a promotional Relix compilation CD which was distributed at major summer 2004 festivals. Ten Mile Tide was also nominated for a Jammy Award in 2006 for Best New Group.
TMT is sure to deliver an energetic and dynamic performance, filled with good lyrics and fine people. Visit their website for tour dates, including a March tour through California and many upcoming festivals. |
