A Rod MacDonald concert is an intimate, authentic, inspirational and uplifting experience. From the moment Rod begins to sing he grabs his audiences and doesn\\\'t let go. A renowned songwriter, a gifted vocalist and an engaging entertainer in full command of his artistry, his easy going demeanor resonates an appealing warmth and sincerity that quickly creates an intimate rapport with his audiences. As south Florida\\\'s premiere Bob Dylan tribute, when Rod MacDonald’s band Big Brass Bed take the stage they create a rollicking blend of blues, folk, country and other roots music styles... they are pure Bob Dylan. Forming from members of the local Grateful Dead tribute band Crazy Fingers in 1996, Reflections performs the music of Jerry Garcia from his early days with Merle Saunders all the way to the 90s with the Jerry Garcia Band. The latest formation of the band includes Rich Friedman on guitar and vocals, Josh Foster on keyboards, Joe Falconeri on Bass, and Giuseppe Pucci on drums. Their love of Jerry Garcia\\\'s style of music outside the Grateful Dead is what motivated them to start performing this material live. Their music also encompasses many styles, including Jerry\\\'s own interpretation of the music of Bob Dylan which will be presented during this special tribute event.

JP Soars is not a typical blues guitarist. He has a diverse musical background that encompasses a multitude of influences. " I love T-bone Walker, Jesse May Hemphill, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, Muddy Waters, Johnny Guitar Watson, Guitar Slim and Louis Jordan. But I also love Tito Puente, Miles Davis, Hank Williams, Black Sabbath and Slayer." Soars toured the globe and recorded several records with some of the most extreme metal bands in the world before finding his home in the blues! It is these attributes that are giving Soars an instantaneously recognizable style. One of the most intriguing components in Soars' musical arsenal is his use of a two-string homemade guitar that he and his brother made. ……"Its basically a plywood box, a stick, two strings and a pickup"…………. By applying a modern approach to a primitive instrument Soars manages to conjure up sounds that usually leave folks in disbelief. In February 2009 Soars and His Band took home top honors in Memphis TN by winning first place in the IBC "International Blues Challenge" as well as the coveted Albert King award for most promising guitarist. That win combined with Soars' intense work ethic, pure passion for the music he plays, a constant desire to improve and a continual strive for "customer satisfaction" has allowed Soars and Company to develop themselves into an in demand international touring band that is growing day by day, week by week and year after year.

The Beatles were an iconic rock group from Liverpool, England. They are frequently cited as the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed band in modern history, with innovative music, a cultural impact that helped define the 1960s and an enormous influence on music that is still felt today.

Across the Universe (ATU) is the premier musical tribute to the music of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr.

John Németh is a rising blues star; a singer steeped in the tradition and reminiscent of B.B. King, Ray Charles and Junior Parker, and a harmonica player of riveting intensity and virtuosity. His decade long career has found him opening for Robert Cray, Keb Mo', and Earl Thomas. Performing major music festivals around the United States, Europe, Canada and Asia has brought him critical acclaim. "Either John Németh is one of the greatest vocalists in the world or this was the best performance of his life, or both." Bob Horn, Washington Blues Society John's origins are an unlikely breeding ground for such an impressive blues talent. A thirty year old native of Boise, Idaho, he grew up singing in a Catholic church and started playing in local bands as a teenager. "Hands down the toughest young harp player I've ever heard." R.J. Mischo, 2002 Németh was a featured artist with Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets in 2005 and 2006 as well as a featured artist with The Junior Watson Band in 2002. The Cascade Blues Association selected Németh as a crowd favorite at the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival in 2002, and the Washington Blues Society called him the show stealer at the Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival in 2003. Greg Johnson of Blues Notes writes, "John Németh possesses rich harmonica tone that easily brings to mind Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter." "Boy! John Németh can really belt it out!" Charlie Musslewhite, 2004 John recorded "Come And Get It" with the Junior Watson Band in 2004. The album received rave reviews and scored well on the independent blues radio charts. When John signed a multi-record recording agreement with Blind Pig Records in 2006, label head Jerry Del Giudice expressed "how impressed I was with John's performance the one time I got the chance to see him. In our nearly 30 years in the business we have never before offered a new artist a recording contract on the strength of one performance." "John Németh's voice is a national treasure." Junior Watson, 2002 The buzz around John Németh is substantial, and his Blind Pig debut, "Magic Touch," delivers the goods in spades. From the opening track, an ambitious and fully realized reworking of Junior Wells' classic "Blues Hit Big Town," John's emotive, smooth voice and stellar harp playing introduce a virtuoso of rare depth and power. John's uncanny blend of retro-modern blues and soul music will delight purists and young hipsters alike. Produced by Anson Funderburgh and featuring Junior Watson on guitar, "Magic Touch" is destined to be one of the most remarked upon releases of 2007. "John Németh is a natural-born Bluesman, and he proves it with every note he sings, shaping each one with emotion, taste and inspiration. John's expressive Blues harp playing answers his voice and fulfills his songs when he solos. John Németh makes it sound easy." Bob Margolin, 2004 "Definitely one of the best club shows that I've ever seen. John Németh is simply the Blues artist that I feel is most deserving of more recognition. Check the man and his band out whenever you might get the chance." Don "T-Bone" Erickson, BluesWax, 2004 "Here's a guy that does it all, sings his butt off, wails on the harp, writes great songs and knows how to entertain the people!" Ken Harris, Blues Bouquet "Definitely one of the finest new artists performing Blues in the country today. Catch him now so you can say you saw him in the early years of his soon-to-be giant career!" Greg Johnson, Blues Notes, 2004

Uproot Hootenanny was formed in December of 2007 at the Irishmen Pub in Boca Raton, FL. At that time the lineup was Brian Bolen, David Welch, Mike the Drunk, Mike Kayne, and Beau Meyer. This particular night it was Brian Bolen's solo gig and soon everyone was onstage jamming. Brian Trew was in the audience and getting in the spirit of things told them “I have a fiddle in my car” (in a very muffled voice as his jaw was wired shut from a rugby game). The six of them were jamming the night away and the crowd roared... and a spark was ignited. From the very beginning the boys played traditional Irish music, Mike the Drunk listened to all the old Clancy Brothers’ tunes and taught them to Dave and Brian Bolen. Brian Trew grew up playing traditional and knew all the same tunes and many more. He was asked to join full time when the boys booked a St Paddy’s day gig and only had about 6 Irish tunes in their repertoire. St. Patricks day is sheer craziness and starts for the Hootenannay on March 18th and last till March 17th of the next year! In the beginning there would be six to sometimes ten people on stage playing; people on washboards, cowbells, harmonicas, it truly was a Hootenanny! The name Uproot was added for two reasons- all the Lads were from all around the country and uprooted to Florida, and of course the word “root” in the name conjures all the different types of roots music they know, love, write and play. This crazy line up lasted for about two years when Mike Kayne, Mike the Drunk and Beau left the band (although they do still sit in every now and again). So that left the magical three, the two Brians and the David. They needed to round out the sound and so began the hunt for a Bass player. A friend told them about a buddy who played mandolin and since they were auditioning bass players, why not have the buddy audition on mandolin? See the connection? Well Rolando ended up being not so good on mandolin but was great at bass and fit in well. Billy Gilmore came in the picture later that year and the rest is history. The Lad's first gig as Uproot Hootenanny was at the Village Pump and they still play there every Thursday, it is like home for them. It has only gotten better from there! Some legendary Uproot gigs have been the Lyric Theater in Stuart, sharing the stage with Hermitage Green in Limerick, Ireland in 2012, Open Grass Festival 2009, Farm to Family Festival 2010-2012, Springfest 2012, Hickory Fest 2011, Founders Day 2011, Pig out in the Park 2010-2011, Delray Beach St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2010, Lauderdale by the Sea St. Patrick’s Day Festival 2008-2012 and the list goes on and on.... They also had the pleasure of opening up for the Charlie Daniels Band this last year. The Lads also have their annual tour of Ireland which is a truly magical place for the Hootenanny. They have been there as a group for the past four years and it gets better every time they set foot in the Emerald Isle. The people are amazing, warm and they love American culture and folk music! The band's live shows are high energy and the Lad's banter and beaming smiles are contagious. The shows are non-stop fun and regardless of how you entered the venue, you leave with a silly smile. Uproot tours Florida regularly and can be seen troughout the state with a high concentration at home in South Florida all year round, with stints in Ireland, and up the Eastern seaboard. Once again the Lads are coming to Bamboo Room and you can count on them show you a real good time! Website:
