About Kerry Kearney
Kerry Kearney (pronounced "Car-Nee"), a slide guitar master, plays and works his instrument to limits that amaze even the most seasoned musician or cultured music fan. The sounds Kerry creates from his vintage, stock and custom made guitars are as unique as his song writing and original melodies. Kerry was voted "Best Guitarist of 1999" by the LI Voice and “Bluesman of the Year 2004” by the LI Blues Society. He is also the recipient of the prestigious Long Island Sound Award (L.I.S.A.) from the LI Music Hall of Fame and most recently, in 2013, he and his band mates were each inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame. He has toured nationally and internationally with the Allman Brothers Band and Dickey Betts, and has performed with such contemporaries as Sonny Landreth and Robert Randolf. Kerry and his band have shared the stage with the great BB King at the NYCB Westbury Theater and at the Paramount Theater in Huntington, NY, as well as Robert Cray with the Blind Boys of Alabama and The Blues Brothers starring Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi. 
 
Kerry Kearney’s style, music from the “Psychedelta”, is his own brand containing an upbeat mix of American Blues &amp; Roots, created from writing and performing on the circuit for over 40 years. Along with his band, he has continued to experience an overwhelming and positive response over the airwaves and especially when performing live. His wailing upbeat style of blues, driven by tasty, inspired guitar riffs, electrifying slide and infectious rhythms, has allowed Kerry to amass a huge loyal following.

About AcoustiRats
AcoustiRats is an acoustic duo dedicated to stripping Good Rats classics down to their raw, essential form. Fronted by Stefan Marchello, lead singer and 36-year veteran of the Good Rats, alongside guitarist Matt McCarthy, who also did a run on guitar with the band. Between them, they've got decades of Good Rats DNA in their blood.
After years of playing these songs loud and electric, Stefan and Matt are thrilled to break them down to the bare bones. No frills, no amps cranked to 11 — just voice, acoustic guitar, and the songwriting that made the Good Rats legendary. 
It's the same attitude and stories fans know, delivered in a raw, intimate format. For diehard Good Rats fans, it's a new way to hear the classics. For first-timers, it's proof that great songwriting doesn't need to be loud to hit hard.

New York’s Grimm Jack has been called one of America’s best rock and roll bands. Whether playing live or in the studio recording, they are a hard-driving but melodic act. The band has often been compared to <a href="https://www.gunsnroses.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Guns n’ Roses</a>, Alice Cooper, and <a href="https://aerosmith.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Aerosmith</a>, with a bit of southern bluesy flavor thrown in. The group developed legions of loyal fans and earned a reputation as a solid live act through their energetic performances and radio-friendly music. Songs such as “Shy Boy,” “One Track Mind,” “Maybelline,” “Lookin’ For Heaven,” and “Love Will Save The Day” all achieved regular airplay on FM rock radio everywhere.
Critically acclaimed in legendary rock publications <a href="https://www.circusrockmag.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CIRCUS</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_Parader" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">HIT PARADER</a>, <a href="https://eastcoastrocker.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">EAST COAST ROCKER</a> and signed to independent label CYN CITY RECORDS, the band was a hot item during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. They still grace the stage with the kind of music and energy that makes you want to be in the clubs all night long.About Chris Roach Standing 6'6" tall Chris Roach is bringing comedy to new heights. His self-deprecating humor and mannerisms make this gentle giant stand out from the rest (or at least taller than the rest). Chris brings you into his world talking about everything from his family to some of his unusual life experiences. Chris was one of the cast members on the Kevin James sitcom Kevin Can Wait and has been on tour with comedian Kevin James as his official opening act.
