Rob Beaulieu Band
Founded and led by capital region music scene mainstay Rob Beaulieu, RBB is a deep dive into Americana with a slightly more blues and soul take than you will find with other Rob projects like Raisinhead. Exploring an improvised approach to the rock, folk, blues, R&B and soul catalog... playing everything from gospel tunes to Lou Reed as well as reinterpreting his own songs. The whole experience will leave you in a soulful mood. No two shows from this project will ever be the same. Band members include Rob Beaulieu – guitar Vocals, James Kirk – Bass, Vocals, Chad Ploss – Drums, Vocals, Dave Spadaro – Guitar, and Sherry Jean Waite - Vocals and Organ phenom Tony Perrino who played with Dan Toler of the Allman Brothers for 10+ years and began his musical journey with Orleans. This group of talented performers does not disappoint.
T.V. Doctors
The TV Doctors are an upstate New York band that came together in October 2020. We are essentially a jazz trio based in improvisation; fearlessly surfing across genres to create a heavy and unique blend of funk, reggae, and contemporary jazz. Josh Witmer rides a psychedelic wave atop the long time paired and often brutish rhythm section that is Evan Conway on Bass and Bob Morris on drums.
