Formed in late 2011, The Good Bad Guys is the brainchild of Luke McCartney and Thomas Consiglio.  McCartney's brooding lyrics of love, heartache and the internal struggles between light and darkness are combined with his catchy guitar style and complimented by Consiglio's uniquely dissonant playing style.  Los Angeles drummer David Leavitt and Vermont native bassist Harry Foster have recently joined the band and lend a driving force to the musical interplay of The Good Bad Guys.

Everyman is a group of musicians who intend to take the popular music genre in a new direction. Their sound incorporates elements of rock, jazz, blues, funk, soul, reggae and hip hop. John, Dylan and Allen have been together as Everyman for over six years. All three of these guys were child performers who have matured into marvelous musicians and sophisticated songwriters. Although they have been separated for periods of time due to individual musical and scholastic obligations, they have remained dedicated to each other and to their never ending quest to achieve a higher state of musical nirvana in their next live performance.

“If you’re looking for something smooth, silky, tender, passionate and infused with tasty jazz licks and funky beats, Everyman is undoubtedly for real.” –Jim Testa

12am- Ray Cashman
For fans of: Tony Joe White, JJ Cale, Townes Vanzandt, old blues artist
Genre: American folk/blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter from Nashville, TN.

My music draws deeply. from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and philosophers. Since 2000, I have issued a host of recordings of consistently high quality. 2007's Texassippi Stomp, produced by Jimbo Mathus made the Grammy nominating ballot for best traditional blues album.

"Raw and rough in the very best uses of the words; it is primal and in a sense savage, coarse, unpolished, and yet sincere and honest. The music is a melting pot of swamp, Cajun, psychedelic, Preservation Hall jazz, some punk in there too for good measure. It is an interesting hodge-podge of music and the band behind Ray Cashman fits right in there. If you are looking for the polish and smoothness of a Lyle Lovett or Yvette Landry or even Steve Riley - no. This is the un-adulterated mash up of a man/band that plays with passion and feeling and honesty and subtly be damned". Bob Gottlieb - Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange

Rough & Tumble South is a genuine diamond in the blues world. This is a strong, strong recording. Paul Swashbuckl - country chorus blog
