Third Coast Bluegrass (TCB) is a band of longtime friends and musical cohorts with deep roots in the Great Lakes bluegrass scene going back to the 70's. Since their debut in June 2021, they’ve built a sizable following and a reputation as one of the top Bluegrass bands in the Upper Midwest. The lineup speaks (and picks and sings) for itself. Featuring Marc Edelstein – Bass & Vocals, Ken Finkel – Banjo & Vocals, Peter Knupfer – Fiddle, Don Stiernberg – Mandolin & Vocals, and Jerry Wicentowski – Lead Vocals and Guitar.

TCB’s repertoire spans bluegrass classics, hidden gems, originals, and adaptations from amazing songwriters. The band highlights Jerry’s “true to the tradition” vocals, seamless trios and masterful instrumentals. With world class soloists Don and Peter stepping out front on the instrumentals with rock solid banjo from Ken, it’s as powerful as it is tasteful. Marc’s bass and Jerry’s rhythm guitar lay down the essential rhythmic foundation. As Don says, “Back to the roots of the hard grass with admired colleagues who are also great friends. What could be better?”

Kainalu is a psychedelic funk recording project by independent multi-instrumentalist and producer, Trent Prall. Drawing influence from modern psychedelia and classic motown artists he grew up listening to, Kainalu’s unique sound has gained international appeal. Kainalu’s core is rooted in Prall’s Japanese-Hawaiian heritage; the word roughly translating to ocean waves, but more personally the concept of the ocean rising and breaking down the islands through time and the impermanence of life. Kainalu explores this meaning through both its sound and visuals. Joined by guitarist Joe Waldbillig, bassist Evan Nelson, drummers Matthew Allen and Julian Russell, and conguero Aaron Gochberg, Prall creates a more jam-oriented live interpretation of his recorded music.

Driven by love for the timeless music of the Beatles, Madison Mystery Tour is an ensemble dedicated to studying and performing every song in the core catalogue of the Fab Four, note-for-note.

The group members are Geoff Blake Horst, Sean Michael Dargan, Bill Guetschow, Aviv Kammay, and Steve Morgan.

Latin Pride Orquesta formed in early 2017 with 12 musicians from around the world - Puerto Rico, México, República Dominicana, Peru and Madison.
