BIG Something is an alternative rock group with a BIG groove. A tight six-piece ensemble that brings arena sized grooves to every stage they play. This is funk, fit for the future, featuring crystalline synths, wailing saxes, and guitars that shred established musical boundaries. Their debut album “Stories from the Middle of Nowhere” was recorded in Raleigh, NC with Grammy-nominated producer John Custer and was named the Home Grown Music Network’s Best Studio Album of 2010. Each song is something special: catchy and charming, layered and soulful, with colorful characters that embody the best and worst in us all. One listen will lead to many and you’ll realize you’ve discovered that BIG Something. Winners of the Home Grown Music Network’s 2010 “New Band of the Year” award.
In December 2011 BIG Something released “Mad Science: Live at the Costume Ball”, a new live recording captured in front of 600+ fans on 10.29.2011 at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh. Stream this album and the award winning “Stories From the Middle of Nowhere” free at www.BigSomething.net
“Comparing them to Rush, Widespread Panic, or Bruce Springsteen is lofty praise. For a band called Big Something, they surely live up to their name.” – PopBlend

BYRN
Eclectic Jam Rock - In other words BYRN doesn't really fit into a preconceived notion of a musical genre. On the foundation is a heavy blues influence, but the song styles range from fun and funky to emotional and epic. Always attempting to bring an improvisational element to live performances, BYRN writes their songs with changes signaled by riffs and hooks, rather beats and bars. While they may be placed into the jam band box, they are far from your average jam band. You will not see or hear this band attempting to copy or recreate the style or sound of another group. These guys don't try to be cool, because they don't need to. They seem perfectly content being themselves and they don't try to hide this, even on stage. This group of average Joes came together solely for the purpose of creating good music which gives goose bumps when played. This factor has lead to a truly pure and organic experience for the band and their audience.
