Billy Wylder
Billy Wylder:
A spiritual cousin to Paul Simons Graceland Seven Days
From the archaic streets of Jerusalem to the small towns of America and all along the way, music has been the thread and source of strength for Billy Wylder. The band features Avi Salloway from Bombino/Hey Mama/Avi & Celia joined by an inspired cast of top-notch musicians who have performed in over twentyfive countries. Over the last two and half years, Salloway has toured the globe, performing with Bombino, the Tuareg guitar virtuoso from Niger, Africa and is now bringing new and old songs to life with the Wylder family.
Billy Wylder, like their peers, the David Wax Museum and Vampire Weekend, bring sounds from around the globe to meld with their American roots, taking the listener on a journey from bayou to borough, desert to dreamland. Wylders a rebel on horseback, singing songs with the people he meets, songs of love and adventure, filled with the color of his journey.
Gretchen and the Pickpockets:
Since banding together at the University of New Hampshire over a mutual love of jazz, soul and rock and roll, Gretchen & the Pickpockets have been sharing their sound with audiences all across the United States. Named after a hometown road with a history for larceny, the group has become known for their unique blend of genres and their energetic live shows. Whether it be an old jazz cat, a young punk, or anyone in between, it matters not. Gretchen and the Pickpockets want their songs messages, attitude, and horn lines to find their way straight into any listeners ears and stay there for some time. Give them a chance, and they might just pickpocket your heart away.
Accolades the band has won include an Iguana Music Fund grant from Club Passim, the Best in State: New Hampshire award from the New England Music Awards 2015 and nominated for Best Pop Act in 2016, Best Rock Band from the Seacoast Spotlight Awards, global finalist in the Hard Rock Rising: Battle of the Bands, Best Theme Song from the LA Webfest for the use of Free Sailin in the web series Staying in Boston"
