WHITE STREET BAND is a group of six musicians from Massachusetts' Merrimack Valley. With roots in classic rock and blues, they've been knocking out sets influenced by artists such as Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, and the Kinks for over ten years. White Street members include Michael Bider on guitar and vocals, Bill Putnam on vocals and rhythm guitar, Keith Wentzel on drums, Dave Cook on harmonica, Chris Schena on bass, and Marty Sinacore on electric and acoustic guitars.
ONCOMING TRAFFIC is a multi-generational octet comprised of a core group of veterans combined with the youthful enthusiasm of a high-school-aged horn section. Members include Alice Galloway on vocals, guitar, and keyboards, Dave Cook on harmonica, Chris Schena on bass, Marty Sinacore on guitar, Alan Beaulieu on drums, Michelle Beaulieu and Charlotte Bleiler on saxophones, and Brian Cogger on trumpet. The combination of Alice's soulful voice, a full horn line, a rock-solid rhythm section, wailing guitar, and blistering harmonica allow for a nearly unlimited range of both original and classic rock/blues songs, including covers of Sam and Dave, Eric Clapton, Shemekia Copeland, and Susan Tedeschi, to name a few.
