THE
WAILERS FEAT. ELAN
Together with Bob Marley, the Wailers have sold in excess of 250
million albums worldwide. Drummer Carlton "Carlie" Barrett died in
1987, leaving his brother as the main beneficiary of the Wailers'
mantle. Subsequent line-ups have revolved around Family Man, who is
widely regarded as one of the world's greatest bass players. Modest
and unassuming, he was present on all of those unforgettable
performances by Bob Marley & The Wailers from the seventies. He and
lead singer Elan Attias form the main axis of the current Wailers a
group that's one of the last, great reggae institutions, yet which
refuses to live off past glories. That's because whereas Family Man
represents tried and trusted roots authenticity, Elan injects fresh
excitement into a show that continues to attract enthusiastic
audiences from around the world. By way of example, their first
project which promises to be a revelation is a new Wailers' album
featuring some of the biggest names in popular music. Prepare to be
amazed!

TEA LEAF GREEN
Following the 2005 release of their critically acclaimed album, Taught
to be Proud, Tea Leaf Green toured North America becoming one of the
most exciting and fastest growing rock bands today. Busting out of a
revitalized San Francisco music scene, the group has honed their
strength as both songwriters and improvisers to catapult to the next
level, keeping audiences screaming for more. Thanks to their dedicated
and connected fan base, the band has gone from playing small bars to
large theatres in just a few short years by consistently delivering
fresh, mind-blowing live performances. After winning the "Song of the
Year" Jammy award for Taught to be Proud's title track, the road
warriors plowed ahead with sold out shows in many major markets
including Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, Minneapolis,
Philadelphia, New York and, most notably, the historic Fillmore
Auditorium in their hometown of San Francisco, CA. The band's chops
earned the respect of their musical contemporaries as 2006 also found

Mule, and Bruce Hornsby.

HEADCOUNT

They were created in 2004 by a group of artists, music industry professionals and fans, all determined to make sure the live music community is well-represented at the polls. The Co-chairs of the organization are Marc Brownstein, bass player of The Disco Biscuits, and Andy Bernstein, author of the Phish fan guide The Pharmer's Almanac. They are joined by a board of directors that includes Bob Weir of The Dead, Al Schnier of moe., the people behind Relix Magazine, JamBase and Bonnaroo, and other important behind-the-scenes purveyors of live music. But at the core of the organization are its volunteers, a team of people spread throughout the country who run every aspect of HeadCount. Headcount has registered over 60,000 voters more than any all-volunteer group in the country and also produced nationally televised public service announcements. They also set an all-time record for voter registrations generated on a single concert tour by registering over 12,000 people at Dave Matthews Band shows in 2004.
THE DOORS
With The Doors celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2007, the legendary band is launching a major effort at introducing a new audience to the music and ethos of one of rock's most influential forces. From a feature-length documentary to radio and TV specials; from remastered albums to digital downloadable "virtual box sets"; from coffee-table books to twin volumes of Jim Morrison's poetry; and from remixes and box sets to a traveling memorabilia show, the music and message of The Doors will once more break on through.
TRIBALJAZZ (WITH
JOHN DENSMORE)
For
thirty years I've been saying I was a jazz drummer before I got
into The Doors. In the years since then, I still claim to be
a jazz drummer. The problem is I've never actually made any jazz
records. Finally I am putting my sticks where my mouth is. Tribaljazz
is the fulfillment of a longtime dream of mine, which is to evolve
the driving hypnotic style of drumming I used in The Doors into
a fresh, strongly melodic version of the classic jazz music I
have loved for all these years. - By John Densmore
THE WAYBACKS
They draw freely from the old school and the old world, but the
Waybacks are no throwback. They've been erroneously pigeonholed as a
bluegrass band and celebrated as purveyors of "acoustic mayhem." They
are as uninhibited and unpredictable as the eclectic San Francisco Bay
area that claims them, and for nearly a decade, their experiments have
always proven sharp-witted and musically dazzling. They're living
proof that in music anyway, evolution and intelligent design are
entirely compatible. "The whole spirit of improvisation that's
always been the cornerstone of this band for me," says founding
singer, songwriter and guitarist James Nash. "Through all the
stylistic changes and regardless of the instruments we're playing, to
me the fun of this band has always been in some ways I can do whatever
I feel like doing."
NEW
MONSOON
San Francisco's rock quintet, New Monsoon, has been transforming audiences across the country into dedicated fans with a relentless touring schedule. Their exhilarating marriage of acoustic and electric instruments comes together in an irresistible blend of sophisticated songcraft, inventive musical exploration and down home rock-n-roll. The band's newest album, New Monsoon V, was produced, mixed and engineered by John Cutler, best known for his production work with The Grateful Dead on the platinum album In the Dark (co-produced with Jerry Garcia) and Without a Net (co-produced with Phil Lesh) and the Jerry Garcia Band's How Sweet It Is. New Monsoon V is the culmination of years of touring, collaboration, heart, soul and love and respect between the band and its fans. New Monsoon has played a laundry list of major music festivals, from Bonnaroo to Summerfest and has played to a sold-out crowds at The Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco.
MICKEY HART
Mickey Hart is best known for his nearly three decades as an integral
part of an extraordinary expedition into the soul and spirit of music,
disguised as the rock and roll band the Grateful Dead. As half of the
percussion tandem known as the Rhythm Devils, Mickey and Bill
Kreutzmann transcended the conventions of rock drumming. Their
extended polyrhythmic excursions were highlights of Grateful Dead
shows, introducing the band's audience to an ever-growing arsenal of
percussion instruments from around the world. Exposure to these exotic
sounds fueled Mickey's desire to learn about the various cultures
thatproduced them. FanManager works with Mickey Hart's Planet Drum
and The Rhythm Devils who both toured extensively in 2006. Look for
more music from Mickey Hart soon in 2007.
G LOVE AND SPECIAL SAUCE
Tart, Tangy, Smooth, and oh so lip-smacking Sweet! Aaah yes, time to praise the almighty summer sippin' thirst quencher, being served straight up G. Love and Special Sauce style, ice cool and always refreshing. On their second release for Brushfire Records, the Philly boys offer up "Lemonade", a series of soul drenched tracks pouring out their blues infused hip-hop, which people have been trying to label for years. The best advice - dont try to tame it or claim it; its simply their sonic trademark, instantly recognizable and addictively delicious.
PARTICLE
Since forming in the fall of 2000, Particle has enjoyed a successful
ride that has taken them to eight countries for over 850 shows
including Europe and Japan. After a whimsical San Francisco boat
cruise, a musical bond was surged that was would take core Particle
members Eric Gould, Steve Molitz, and Darren Pujalet on a sonic
adventure that's strong to this day. With the addition of Ben Combe
on guitar and vocals, the band released a DVD and Live CD featuring
special guests Joe Satriani, Robbie Krieger, Blackalicious, and DJ
Logic. Particle is currently recording their sophomore studio effort
with producer Steve Goldman and engineer Marc Johnson to be released
in 2007.
ALO (ANIMAL LIBERATION ORCHESTRA)

Part musical explorers, part pop songsmiths, all-around dynamic performers, ALO has performed on some of this summer's largest music festivals (Bonnaroo, High Sierra ...) and were tapped for Jack Johnson's summer tour.
ON THE ONE
Live music fans nationwide have long recognized San Diego's musical pool as one of the closest held secrets in the land. The Greyboy All-Stars, Giant People, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Nickel Creek, Robert Walters 20th Congress, Global Funk Council and The Album Leaf all originate from one of America's finest cities. The funky crew of On the One has joined the roster...they've been welcomed with open arms. Drum King John Staten (Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Giant People) has teamed with long time friend and sax aficionado Jesse Molloy (Giant People) to create On the One. Referred by many of today's top musicians as one of the best drummers in the business, Staten drives On the One with his hard-hitting hip-hop beats. Along with a never ending swank of saxophone and groove aligned bass, this raw blend of improvisational soul jazz and high energy floor shaking funk unites all generations of music lovers
KARL DENSON TRIO
Karl Denson began a jazz recording career in 1992. In 1994, he became one of the founders and leaders of San Diego's Greyboy Allstars as saxophonist, flutist, and singer. The band's acid jazz grooves caught the ear of discerning listeners, causing droves of fans to hit the dancefloors at clubs across the country. However, the band grew apart after only three years and eventually Denson formed a new band, Karl
Denson's Tiny Universe (commonly referred to by jam/groove band fans as KDTU). In 2006 KDTU is taking some time off from touring, and Karl is playing complex jazz with a new trio.

BIG
ORGAN TRIO
Big
Organ Trio helps bring the organ trio format into the new millennium
by approaching it their own way. Mike Mangan (Hammond B3 organ),
Bernie Bauer (electric bass), and Brett McConnell (drums),
all share a great love and respect for the old school spirit
of blues, jazz, and rock improvisation. Fusing this basis with
fresh musical ideas that borrow from funk, hip-hop, latin,
electronica, and beyond,
has helped B.O.T. produce an innovative, modern, and totally
original soundscape.
