AjF plays the songs of The Police

Band Bio: What started out as two friends deciding to play an open mic night has evolved into CENTER HILL. Doug Perdue and Matt Walker (former bassist) sat around on weekends with friends and undoubtedly someone would end up with a guitar out playing and singing popular songs. One friend asked if either had any original songs. Perdue played a song he wrote to a surprised group that upon hearing the song insisted the duo play outside of someone’s living room. As fate would have it dominos began to fall in place. Perdue ran into long time friend and fellow musician David Christianson. After being filled in on the plan Christianson jumped at the opportunity to enter the mix. Literally on the same day Walker called and let Perdue know that he had found a drummer, Stephen Biscotte. Christianson’s brother Jared joined in and a band was underway. After a number of practices and for a wide variety of reasons, Walker and younger Christianson parted ways with the other three members. Lightning then struck for a second time. After a month of searching, fate smiled on the band in a second hurricane of additions. Perdue convinced his friend James Hargenrader to make the move from Guitar to Bass. A week later Shane Draper called to let Perdue know he was moving back to town and to see if he knew anyone looking for a guitar player. Earlier in the same week Glen Gray was asked to come check out the band to see what he thought. That week all six members played for the first time and have been together ever since. CENTER HILL was born.

Wrong Way is a tribute to one of the greatest and most original bands to come out of the 1990's, Sublime. Their sound was a perfect blend of a variety of different musical styles ranging from reggae and dance hall beats to punk and even hip hop. To some, their music defined their generation. To others, Sublime's sound may be totally new. One thing is certain, their music is still as fresh and original today as it was 15 years ago.

 Tim Reynolds has been playing music all of his life. Starting as a bass player in a gospel band in his hometown of St. Louis to his break through band in the 80’s, TR3 and forward to recording with & touring with DMB and the Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds Acoustic Duo. Tim’s progression has continued through his last 8 years on the road as a solo acoustic guitar wizard playing for packed houses who have come to realize this is not just Dave's side man, this is one of the most talented and thoughtful players on the circuit today!! Now things have come full circle and TR3 is back again in 2008 to rock and funk your house down. The songs will be a mix of updated Tim classics to wild covers of everything from James Brown to Prince to Tim’s newest catalogue of material he is preparing just for this tour. Tim has spent the last 8 years living in New Mexico but after a sudden move to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 2007 Tim ran across two players that would eventually form this new version of TR3. Mick Vaughn will be on bass. Mick moved to the Outer Banks in 1995 after many years playing in Chicago with Scott Bennett opening for such bands as Jimmy Cliff and Dave Mason. He also recorded with Liz Phair & Dovetail Joint. Mick had been playing locally in OBX for several years until he ran into Tim this past summer. Drummer Dan Martier grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and spent most of the 80’s in various bands playing the club scene 6 nights a week. After teaming up with his wife and powerful soul singer Laura they formed Express in Florida and toured with The B-Side, Wallomatics & various others until being drawn to the Outer Banks in 1989 where he has remained an active player on the local scene. After a chance meeting of the three talented players, a few rehearsals and several stealth appearances around the North Carolina shore Tim realized it was time to get back to the basics…rockin out the way only Tim can.

Their name says it all: The Dave Matthews Tribute Band. Many go to their live shows with reservations, high expectations, and the burning question, "Do these guys sound like the real Dave Matthews Band?" Almost always the answer is, "Yes!"

As Rick Grant of Entertaining U in Jacksonville, FL wrote, "The Dave Matthews Tribute Band turned out to exceed its billing as a quality improvisational band that uses Dave Matthews material as themes to improvise. Clearly, this distinguishes them from the other so-called tribute bands. The band is exceptionally tight and produces a solid groove over which the players improvise with hot chops."

Hailing from Buffalo, NY, the Dave Matthews Tribute Band is the only nationally touring tribute to the Dave Matthews Band. This 6-piece ensemble strives to pay homage to their famous counterparts by matching the excitement, energy, intensity and intimacy of a DMB live show.

"We have so much respect for DMB and what they've been able to accomplish," says lead singer Ryan Clifford. "As fans, we love getting together with others to celebrate and give tribute to DMB and their music."

The Dave Matthews Tribute Band has worked hard to bring musical expertise and an energetic stage presence to remake and provide fans with a true 'DMB experience'. "The whole basis of the band is to put on a musical play," says Clifford. "We try to recreate the experience you may get from the real band."

While most fans never experienced a live DMB show before they became the platinum-selling artists they are today, the Dave Matthews Tribute Band prides itself on giving audiences this opportunity at intimate venues across the country.

Beyond mastering the DMB sound and the relentless touring, what separates the Dave Matthews Tribute Band from other cover bands is their passion, love, and respect for DMB and their music. That is what makes you come out of one of their shows saying, "Yeah, they really do sound like the real Dave Matthews Band."

If you like James Brown and all his Funk then you are gonna love these guys from Greensboro NC. They have all the moves of James and the vocal chops. You don't want to miss this show!

What is Entre Nous?
"Entre Nous is a non-typical blend of acoustic energy…" (Xan Michaels- Xan Chiva Productions)
With their out of the box acoustic performances and fresh new approach to modern acoustic-driven compositions, it hasn't taken long for Mike Havens and Chris Underwood to be featured as two of Virginia's favored up and coming artists, on many levels, such as: Roanoke, VA's "News Channel 7," Clear Channel's "WROV," Travis Media's "Z101.5," "The Arrow" 94.9 as well as many other chartable and non-chartable commercial and college radio stations.
Now as a trio, Entre Nous is gaining more exposure than ever from local, regional and semi-national entertainment / arts & leisure magazines such as "Fly," "City" and "Club Critique" to interview the group, review their shows, announce performances and feature recordings. With such an out of the box approach, and addition of percussion extraordinaire, Jeremy Price (Creator of the Plastic Music experience and former touring cast percussionist for STOMP & STOMP OUT LOUD), Entre Nous consistently generates new touring interest, new press inquiries and a multitude new fans by the week.
