Mr. Brown’s Mysterious Sounds will be a part of the ‘New Artist Showcase’ at this year’s Ohmstead!

We don’t kow much about these guys except that they love the sick jam.  Here’s what it says on their ReverbNation site:

We are musicans. We once were lost wandering among the genres and fellow musicans of today. We met a man…quite a character… a strange man indeed. He shared with us the sounds of his dreams. We are here to share these soundtracks to you. Enjoy.

The Banks will be part of our ‘New Music Showcase’ at Ohmstead this year!

The band started as a 3 piece. Dustin, Kevin, and Eric started the band in early 2010. They quickly put together a set of original music with there break out song “Colorado” growing quick attention. This song was written about there now 4th member Jared, who had left Cincinnati to try out the Mountain life in “Colorado”.

When Jared came back to Cincinnati He brought his book of newly written songs he had been working on while living in a cabin in a remote area of Rocky Mountain National Park. His songs together with the Original Material of the band meshed together to form a Sound that is already growing some heavy Attention. Come out and see these guys play. They have a great time playing and the set is always diverse and full of energy! Not to mention every member of the band plays multiple instruments and like to switch them up throughout the show. FUN!

A band whose members have years of study on multiple instruments, the Andy Shaw Band thrives on bending genres. As the album comes out, the band is hitting the road and finding their path.

An anthemic array of original jam-rock from Akron, Ohio

http://www.aliverhall.com

In its second year as of summer 2011, Aliver Hall is quickly gaining steam, with critics declaring them “an eclectic mix of energetic jam pop rock” and “cerebral stuff indeed,” while noting that “with a grasp on today’s music culture while still mindful of the music of the classic bands before them, Aliver Hall should be considered up and coming.”
