Soul

Dr. Fidelity is a six-piece funk/soul band from "Camberville" in favor of positive vibes, friendship, dancing, and occasional lovesick balladry (for good measure). We have been performing around Boston since March 2014 at venues like The Middle East, Aeronaut Brewery and Sally O'Briens. We just released our second EP on bandcamp: https://doctorfidelity.bandcamp.com/album/dr-fidelity

Soulful rock n’ roll. That’s the best way to describe Boston’s Dan & the Wildfire. Since 2011, they’ve been crushing stages around the country with elements of soul, folk, blues, jazz, and country. With two full length albums in tow, Smoke Signals (2012) and Bull Moose (2015), the Wildfire crew is excited to bring on a new phase in 2017. Their new single, Nothing But Love, dropped in February, and the band is currently gearing up to record a fresh batch of tunes. In the meantime, they're spreading wildfire throughout the Northeast.

The Odells: a wide-ranging collective offering rock, soul, and New Orleans funk played with deep respect to the originators flavored with fresh, of-the-moment improvisational interpretations and jams.

Current lineup includes Winter Hill resident Scott Farrell (guitar, bass, vocals), Andy Kearney (keyboards, vocals), Kurt Overberg (drums), Neil Overberg (guitar, bass) and guest Alex Lembo (guitar, vocals) sitting in for our friend Aaron Belyea who made prior plans to enjoy the actual New Orleans.

We'll be doing some songs at the tail end - around 3:30! The Black Souls are the newest project of well known Boston frontman Cam Ackland of the Prime Movers, Voodoo Dolls and Port Charles Quintet. Playing a mix of classic r&b, garage and soul, Cam and his wife Kim Ackland trade off on vocals interspersed with wailing harp. Rounding out the group: the twin guitar stylings of Tony Kaczynski and George Perkins, the pounding bass of Stow Kelner, and the primal drumbeats of Matt Burns.

R&B/soul and jam-funk!

Dr. Fidelity is a seven-piece soul band from East Somerville in favor of positive vibes, friendship, dancing, and occasional lovesick balladry (for good measure). They have been performing around Boston since March 2014 at venues like The Middle East, Aeronaut Brewery and Sally O'Briens. Our first EP is on our Bandcamp and our first LP will be up release soon!

Dan and the Wildfire is a particularly potent cocktail comprised of 1 part old time mountain folk, 1 part classic rock and roll, and 3 parts bottom shelf bourbon. Mix it up and what you get is a musical experience that burns it's way into your bones and lights up your soul with a crisp, rootsy sound that'll leave you reeling for another taste of that Wildfire.
