Electric Chameleon is a rare animal indeed. The funky rhythm section is so tight that it belongs in a jam band, while its nastier blues-rock riffs suggest a heavier genre. The smooth, smoky vocals play as though over nu-jazz, yet swing with a polish of pop. It’s hard to imagine it could mix so much together and still find an identity, yet the music is so filled with catchy hooks and original energy that it shines making Electric Chameleon the band to be on the look out for.

Half Moon is comprised of the two brothers, John and Adam Beason, who as children realized their love of music and began teaching themselves to play their instruments. At ages 15 and 19, the brothers decided to share their talents with the world.

Five years later, Half Moon has played over 250 shows. They have entertained crowds in every major city of their home state of Virginia and as far north as New York City. Half Moon frequently receives critical acclaim from southwest VA newspapers, including being named one of Roanoke VA’s top local acts by the Roanoke Times.

Versatility and Precision. These are the two ingredients in a simple recipe for success, in just about any aspect of life. And if you use them to describe a band, then the band must be Southpaw. If you add a dash of talent and a cup or two of experience, we are talking about a full coarse meal. Southpaw can play to many different kinds of settings, depending on the occasion. Always ready to play any time, whether it is a club, a fraternity house, a wedding, or maybe just a big party in the back yard, Southpaw can fill the need. This is a band that can definitely get a crowd on its feet, whether it be lead vocalist and guitarist Wayne Carter bringing it on home, lead guitarist and vocalist Stacy Stevens shredding it to splinters, or bassist Jeff Mason and drummer Jeff Stinnett setting the tone, Southpaw never disappoints. And they can come at you from different directions. They can come out of the gate blaring electric, or they can tone it down with a good sitting-by-the-campfire acoustic set. With the professionalism that they bring on and off of the stage, Southpaw is not your ordinary lefty out of the bullpen

"Good, original, Southern-tinged rock that is best accompanied by several beers"- Tad Dickens The Roanoke Times

Brian Conner, lead singer/songwriter and guitarist for Villanova began writing songs at age 11 and has now perfected a unique style of funk and hip-hop rock. Conners' unparalleled guitar skill is a passionate combination of technical jazz-fusion and Jimi Hendrix inspired licks which beautifully blend with the tight pocket powerhouse of bass player Bobby Dredd and drummer Jeremy Roberson. Dredd's Victor Wooten/Larry Graham-esque prominent string slap style is proof that he is a graduate of the old school of funk. Roberson creates the in the pocket, in your face rhythms of Villanova. Newest member of the group walking musical encyclopedia DJ Able One brings samples, cuts, beats, and keys to add an authentic hip hop feel.

"These guys are unbelievably creative," said Hash, the bassist for Thievery Corporation, after rocking through a 30-minute jam with Groova Scape at 202 Market in Roanoke in January. Michael Travis of String Cheese said similar things after jamming with Groova in April at 202 Market. "I had a lot of fun," Travis, who said he has never before jammed with an opening act, told Groova Scape afterwards. "You guys can jam. It was awesome." Saying he was inspired by Groova's warm-up, Travis jumped in with the Roanoke band and smoked through one of Groova's jams, Power Down, for the sweetest 15 minutes in the band's existence. It was a busy 2008 for Groova Scape, with shows opening for Tim Reynolds and TR3, for RAQ, for Thievery Corporation, for Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, for the Bridge, for U-Melt, and for EOTO and numerous others. .........FROM THE ROANOKE TIMES REVIEW OF TIM REYNOLDS AND GROOVA SCAPE: "If the band sticks together and stays serious, it could become an original force."

Hip-hop needed class. It also needed some innovation and honesty. In 2002 The Urban Sophisticates began to provide just that with a project record that no one knew would slowly, but surely, change the face of the genre on the east coast. When ‘Urban’ began taking the road less traveled, it founded itself on the ideal that beats could move bodies and true music could move souls. After the critically acclaimed release of ”The Cowards Anthem,” their touring schedule has taken them north to New York City, south to Austin Texas for South by Southwest, west to Chicago, even as far as Japan and Korea. Their sound has become the definition of what hip-hop will be in the near future. Lyrically, Benton James continues to confess his flaws and sarcastically point out what’s horribly right and wrong with the world. Aaron James brings a catchy, well sung hook to every song with old school influences of Soul and foundational R&B. Romondo Jessup brings his cool and collected rhythms through the drums. Jeremy Denman brings his wisdom  and flow to the trumpet and flugle horn. Sal Mascali brings his crazy energy and high level of talent to the trombone. Ricky Nxumalo brings his flair for great bass lines and heavy stage presence to what has become a famous under ground live show.

Having shared the stage with such names as Kansas, The Temptations and The Ragamuffin Band, to name a few, Paul’s music is just as widely diverse and broadly accepted, as it is familiarly personal. With a strong emphasis on the emotional attachment in music and song, he is the epitome of a songwriter's songwriter. From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, you can definitely hear a progressive, percussive, soulful blend of jazz and folk in his music. “This Singe/Songwriter/Guitarist, with his soulful voice, and intense and rousing guitar playing, has a unique sound that is all his own

Formed by accident in 1999 by four individual coverband veterans, TK-421 has since built an impressive following based on great original rock songwriting, pro-level recording, and powerful live shows. Originally designed as an 80's Hairband tribute, the members of what would become TK found that their chemistry was undeniable. Tossed around guitar riffs quickly became great songs, and hummed vocal melodies quickly became strong lyrical hooks. This was a band that was focused right from the start. The works since created are powerful and driving, yet still manage to be radio friendly. Their self recorded and produced demo cd "Hollow" has received airplay on numerous radio stations in the Southeast US and even abroad in Germany and Australia. "Hollow" even earned them ..1 honors as Roanoke, Virginia's Local Album of the Year. TK-421 has built a strong reputation for putting on a live show that is pure rock served up as it is supposed to be... loud, aggressive, and delivered with an incredible amount of energy. This is a band who plays what it means, and means what it plays. Simply put, TK-421 is the total rock package.
