Greenbeets: The Chicken Pot Pie is one of the greatest inventions of all time. The brain-size for the type of person who created such a legendary meal had to have been enormous. By cleverly taking chicken, vegetables, and gravy (each delicious on their own) and stuffing them into a flaky pie-crust (also delicious on it’s own), this half-person, half-genius managed to change the culinary world forever. The Greenbeets are the chicken pot pie of the music world. Jam to the beets of funk reggae, blues & Soul. Each band member stands alone as a musician (just as the celebrated ingredients mentioned above). This is not a right that is gained simply by just having talent; rather, it is one that is earned only after years of perfecting and then owning that repective talent. The proof is in the pie. By combining the seasoned flavors of four of the most cultivated musicians in teh Washington, DC area, The Greenbeets have created a groove so savory that it will inevitably change the catalog of songs you choose to sing in the shower. Together, they naturally bring about the best in their audience as well as in each other as musicians, as performers, and most certainly as friends. This is the vital secret behind the recipe for the greenbeets.

The Fisherman Band: The Fishermen Band is a blend of all your favorite ingredients…..Funk, Jazz, Rock, Folk, Reggae…..Quiet or Loud. ROCKIN, or sweet. TFB delivers all and adds kick ass 4 part harmony to give you a truly unique musical experience. A staple in DC music for over a decade, TFB has played over a thousand shows, and are regulars on local radio and television. Lindsay and Phillip Hough have been writing music since childhood, singing harmonies reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkle, and the Indigo Girls. Writing in varying genres, in thier own seperate styles for more than 20 years, The Hough brothers have amassed an original music catalog that could captivate a willing audience for days on end. After their first recording “Dream” went #1 All Time on GarageBand.com in 2000, The Fishermen Band became a Hollywood sensation overnight - selling out hotspots like the Whisky A Go-Go, Viper Room, and the Troubadour, and playing alongside bands like Maroon 5, Allrise, Raining Jane, and Pseudopod. In 2004, former TFB guitarist/songwriter Zack Prager signed the band to his new label, American Soul Records, and moved operations to Austin, TX, releasing their first EP “Invisible Thickness” with infamous Boulder, CO, music producer (and former TFB pianist) Pat Lee. In Austin, the band linked arms with Boombox and The Grooveline Horns (of Jason Mraz) and played weekly shows at Austin’s famed Lucky Lounge.

In 2009, The Fishermen Band returned to their native Washington, DC, and self-released their first full length album “Vision “ with Ambiance Recording Studios and east coast music producer, Josh Insel www.joshinsel.com .
