* FISH AND CHIPS is Gary Fish (guitar and vocals), Chris Goulart (bass), Christian Haler (drums) & Thatcher Harrison (guitar and vocals)

Gary Fish has been writing songs and playing guitar all his life. He was influenced by jazz growing up as a child and by classic rock and roll. Gary has been writing songs about the sea and commercial fishing for the last 40 years, including " Captain Whipple," "Angel On A Wave," and "The Flight of the Dolphins." The Fish and Chips band brings Gary's music - known as "fishtunes" - to a whole new level!

* What do you get when a pitch-perfect, grade-skipping, 10-year-old guitar prodigy joins musical forces with his harmonizing, guitar- playing, English professor father? You get the playful, adventurous, intelligent, dead-on music of Thatcher & Stan Harrison, aka the BRUSH YOUR TEETH BAND.

Thatcher and his father Stan include several of their own well-crafted pop songs in each Brush Your Teeth Band performance. And plenty of cover music from artists like Dave Brubeck, the Beatles, Duke Ellington, the Indigo Girls & Donovan

And, of course, Thatcher plays the lights out of his guitar.

* CHUCK WILLIAMS has performed throughout New England and coast to coast. This songwriter's music is of love gained, love lost, growing up & moving on. He can take you on a journey that makes you think, smile, and at times cry. His lyrics and melodies are a musical journey reflecting emotions of everyday life brought to you through the stories within his songs.

Chuck has had the pleasure of opening for national touring artists such as Steve Forbert, Cheryl Wheeler, Kelly Joe Phelps, Rod McDonald, the John Young Band and Claude Bourbon. He has performed at many festivals including the Boston Folk Festival, the Boston Music Festival, and New Bedford Summerfest.

* MICHAEL TROY was born and raised in the rough-and-tumble mill town of Fall River, Mass. In many ways, his life reflects the lives of the hard-working common folk who populate this part of New England. Having spent parts of his own life as a mill worker, fisherman, laborer and carpenter, and most of his adult years as a husband and father, Michael has traveled many paths, and the experience and wisdom he's gleaned along the way echoes through his music.

A magical storyteller with a gift for melody, a deep rich voice, excellent finger-picking skills and the ability to compose outstanding stanzas of substance, Michael's plaintive ballads speak of the hills and mills of Fall River and of childhood dreams not quite forgotten in the adult quest to make an honest living.
