The New Americans, Joe Trainor Trio, The Hold Up, A New Dakota

The Joe Trainor Trio is a piano-based rock trio known for its enigmatic original material and energetic live shows. Focusing on original material, JT3 creates intense and engaging live performances designed to defy the expectations of the listener. JT3 is anchored by Joe Trainor, whose vocals and piano ebb between enticing and heartfelt to soaring and aggressive. Kevin Niemi (bass) and Jeff Dement (drums) round out the Trio and provide the foundation with a precision and focus that help create the band's singular sound.
JT3 has been taking people by surprise in venues throughout the Philadelphia/Wilmington region. Recently they headlined the Arden Fair where they performed Led Zeppelin II in its entirety, without a guitarist, much to the amazement of the 500 in attendence. In 2010 JT3 celebrated John Lennon's 70 birthday with a performance of Abbey Road, also in its entirety. Shows like these create an event atmosphere which draws people in. Performing music rarely performed, and in a unique format, also helps create buzz for JT3's original works.
JT3 is currently supporting its debut album "Drive", and are currently working on the follow-up.
The Hold-Up is a four piece Rock and Roll group who's music pulls influence everywhere from the Jailhouse to the Roadhouse, Their music paints lyrical pictures of everything from the Hopeless Romantic to the Zombie who's about to eat him!!
Newark, Delaware’s A New Dakota is a three-piece angst filled indie rock band who recently blasted onto the local scene. A New Dakota explosive sound stems from the mind of singer/guitarist Grace Koon and is backed by the experience and driving rhythm section of drummer Bryan Fitzgerald and bassist Scott Mathews. The three-piece’s live show is loud and energizing and has Out & About Magazine raving, “Put them on your ‘I knew about them before they were famous’ list quickly, because it’s bound to happen.” With their first EP under their belt and opening for numerous national touring acts throughout Philadelphia and Delaware this three-piece is just starting to pick up speed and it’s only a mater of time before A New Dakota’s infectious songs are stuck in the caverns of your mind.
