Formed from the most talented deadbeats and drifters that could be rounded up, this group of raucous and rambunctious musicians will honk, wail, blow, beat, bounce, scream and serenade their way into your hearts. Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band combines the rich musical history of the circus and the vagabond peoples of Europe with the raw energy of avant-garde jazz and the irreverence and fun of today's Vaudeville for a sound that is somehow familiar yet like no other.

The Shrinking Islands recapture the jangly sound of early REM and the Feelies, reduced to its bare essentials.  The Cambridge-based band was formed in 2004 by drummer Andy Tefft and singer/ guitarist Kyle Bittinger.  Their first album "In the Black Carpet" was released by Sort Of Records in 2006.

Blues with sass and swing.
