Nicholas James and the Bandwagon: What kind of music is it? That's not always as simple of a question as you would think it would be. The music falls somewhere in between folk and country with a solid dose of rock and the occasional reggae, cajun or world beat mixed in. 3 Part harmonies, dual electric guitars, pedal steel and fiddle all weave around the acoustic guitar and powerful lead vocals of frontman Nicholas James. We like to call it Hippie Tonk. Nicholas James and the Bandwagon have been performing at festivals, breweries, community concerts and theaters since 2010 and have released 2 original albums (Saturday NIght 2012 and Tall, Tall Tales, Earthwork Music 2016.) https://nicholasjamesthomasma.com/nicholas-james-and-the-bandwagon

Crooked Spires is a West Michigan based psych-rock with soul trio that blends alternative, roots, and garage influences, that boasts original songwriting ranging from sweet and soulful to driving and dirty, punctuated with moments of ethereal respite in between. Crooked Spires makes a strong case for stylistic whiplash with evocative lyrical narratives and biting guitar hooks. https://crookedspires.bandcamp.com/album/crooked-spires
