Terrapin Pond

Hollerhead
Hollerhead is a high energy rock band rooted in folk with a bit of blues and a style that is hard to describe...progressive rock and roll. They also opened the Hot August Blues Fest Two years in a row (which is kind of misleading because they are not really a blues band, but still worth mentioning if its good for advertising). http://www.myspace.com/hollerhead
The Sunlight Gently Jams
The Sunlight Gently Jams is a rock band that creates a late 60's psychedelic vibe (early pink floyd/David Bowie) with a fresh Flaming Lips style twist. http://www.myspace.com/thesunlightgently
Public Radio
Public Radio is best described as a funk and jam band with a classic rock feel.
