FISTFUL OF FIFTIES
Formed in the Fall of 2004, Fistful of Fifties has been rocking the Northern VA, DC and Maryland area with their familiar but unique sound. Their high energy songs have been influenced by 90's alternative rock bands such as Nirvana, Cake, Staind and Foo Fighters. Joe Achtzener (bass), Matt Matis (vocals/guitar), Josh Pearson (drums) and David Saylor (guitar/vocals) combine catchy lyrics, melodic vocals, killer guitar solos, mind blowing bass licks and monster drumming to create what has been deemed "the up-and-coming sound of what has come to be expected in the clubs of Arlington and Fairfax counties" (Burke Connection) Not a band to let their influences put a strong hold on their music, Fistful of Fifties are continuously writing new songs ranging from the occasional softer ballad to hard rock, allowing enough diversity for their on stage antics to reach every type of fan.

THE LOGAN KRAFT BAND
With their harmony driven pop rock texture, woven together with threads of blues and folk, The Logan Kraft Band has generated a truly unique and energetic sound inspired by artists such as John Mayer, The Allman Brothers, and Maroon 5. The band first came together while Logan was in the studio working on his debut album, "Problems", when he decided he wanted to be able to recreate the studio sound in a live setting. The Logan Kraft Band has come a long way since they began in the fall of 2009. Starting out as a mostly original band with a constantly changing line up, they have emerged into a six man, (well, five men and one woman), team that plays a mixture of originals and diverse covers. The band has now played at weddings, private parties, popular local venues such as Jammin' Java, as well as festivals including the Annandale Fall Festival and CureSearch Walks for pediatric cancer research. The band continues to push its boundaries by learning new material, incorporating new musical styles, and writing new original songs. Through hard work, practice, and determination, The Logan Kraft Band is proving they are here to stay as they carve out a space for themselves on the local music scene as a band to be remembered.
