Like A Rocket

Often compared to earlier Who/The High Numbers and later Alex Chilton, Like A Rocket mix great Alt-Pop with deep cut NOLA R&B to bake a blisteringly funky cake. A serious love of dancing and rhythm, the songs, fast or slow, have something to move your body. At the same time the lyrics are extremely personal, about broken relationships with mates, band mates and the surrounding world of politics and dissatisfaction. You find yourself grooving along while picking up on choruses that speak to the world around you

Led by singer/guitarist Speedy Gray, Like A Rocket is a dynamo live. Dancing around tempos and dynamics, seeing them was like seeing a band that I could say ”I saw them when”
Eb and flow like waves crashing on a beach, Gray engaged the audience with stories and a demand to get up and get involved, both on the dance floor and tomorrow when the show was over.

Gray is an award wining songwriter getting nods from heavy hitters such as NPR’s nationally broadcast Mountain Stage. I found that even the lighter poppy fare like ”Every Time Sweet” had a deeper pathos that I didn’t expect. Politics also weigh heavy in Gray’s songs, a demand that we take action to make our lives count. Definitely check this band out now!

Puerto Rican Princess

Playing the cello at age 8, the Puerto Rican Princess grew an interest in harmony and development of song. At age 12 she began her career as a writer which led her to become a multi-faceted Hip Hop Artist. By 19years young she was performing in clubs, venues, and house parties throughout the Northwest and quickly earned a name for herself as a diversified lyricist. She is not only a fresh face to the industry but a breath of fresh air. Do not put her in the category of a ”rapper” but being a true lyricist is definitely a category she falls into. The difference you might ask, is that a lyricist rhymes from the heart and expresses feeling(s) in every spoken word.In 2010 the Puerto Rican Princess founded Cloud Surfin’ INC. © a music company where she now works as both its President and Artist. Clearly, she demonstrates the raw talent that she possesses and the strong outlook that she has on life.

The Cypress Brothers Band

The Cypress Brothers Band was formed in the fall of 2013 when two veteran musicians, guitarist Bruce Boatner and drummer Steve McIver were introduced through mutual musical friends in Boise. Bruce and Steve quickly realized an opportunity to create a unique new sound, explore novel rhythmic time signatures, and present the public with a fresh repertoire of up-tempo, danceable tunes. The name Cypress Brothers came from the first batch of southern tinged “Dixie Blues” songs from Bruces’ catalog. Just some of the influences on the band are JJ Cale, Dr. John, Cajun Zydeco, The Black Keys, Joe Cocker, Gary Clark Jr., Leon Russell and Tom Petty. The Brothers are both from LA … Bruce is from Louisiana and Steve is from Los Angeles!
