Genre: Jazz/Rock/Boogaloo/Bossa/Psychedelic/Funk
For fans of: Medeski, Martin & Wood, Pat Metheny, Gary Burton, Stark Reality, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

Forget everything you thought you knew about Jam Bands. One of the freshest, exciting, and unique sounding bands on the scene today is the very talented Mind Open. Instrumental and jazz based, with a touch of rock, Brazilian, and psychedelic grooves, the Mind Open experience is one you have to see to believe. The bulk of the material the band plays is contributed by Vibist Chris Covais, and Guitarist Andrew Ahr. The rest? Rare grooves from obscure groovy jazz-funk, rock, and psych records. Make sure you see Mind Open spread peace, love, and good vibrations through the medium of music, at one of their many shows in New York city.

11pm- Blak Diamondz
Genre: funk, rock, soul, dance music, reggae, and hip hop
For fans of: Wahdada and Digital Diaspora

Blak Diamondz is an all star musical, spiritual experience. We are a concept band of the energies of the universe. The universe being such a varied and vast place much like Blak Diamondz. It is a group that combines funk, rock, soul, dance music, reggae, and hip hop. Blak Diamondz is a great fit because of the left field qualities of having concept albums/sets and songs, synchronized dance moves, combining various influences, and wild stage persona and dress sense, but also because of the name. Blak Diamondz purposely misspelled, is proof of the pressure that it takes to shine.
