Doug Otto and the Getaways perform a blend of old American musical styles. Heavily influenced by delta blues and classic country songs, they cover tunes that range from simple folk songs to heartfelt gospel. Songwriter, Doug Otto, plays acoustic and electric guitars and adds tasteful and authentic harmonica. Lead guitarist Albert Perez brings an edgy yet spacious feel to the music. Chris Gray plays the drums. Shane Akers pulls raw and edgy sounds from an electric lap steel guitar. He switches to the Dobro for more intimate and acoustic tunes. Bassist, Cody McKinney, brings great musical depth, sings gritty leads, and adds tasty vocal harmonies to the mix. Erik Struve holds down the bass lines when Cody is unavailable do to being extremely in demand.

Midwest Dilemma and Jeremiah Nelson Duo

MIDWEST DILEMMA – A guitar, red trucker hat, beard, and an old passenger van on open road. Justin Lamoureux has been performing as Midwest Dilemma for nearly a decade. Many know Midwest Dilemma as Omaha based folk-rock ensemble whose debut release Timelines & Tragedies was awarded the title Album Of The Year at the Omaha Entertainment Awards show this year. The album charted CMJ (College Music Journal) Top 200 with college radio play immediately after the release.
Lamoureux enlisted friends, family members, and musical acquaintances to help create the music on Midwest Dilemma's Timelines & Tragedies album. Twenty-three members to be exact. Such instruments as Flute, Clarinet, Tuba, Trombone, Saxophone, Accordion, Cello, Viola, Trumpet, Singing Saw, Upright Bass, Vibraphone, Pedal Steel, Mandolin, Piano, Percussion, and Electric Guitar give the record an orchestral folk and chamber pop sound, similar to Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, and Bright Eyes.
Timelines & Tragedies is a time line of family history. Tracing Lamoureux's ancestors to their days of French Canadian fur trading, the Great Depression, the struggles of his parents' generation with Vietnam, and eventually concluding with his life in Sioux City and Omaha. Timelines & Tragedies is the perfect outcome of Midwest Dilemma's vision.
Jeremiah Nelson is recording artist and touring singer-songwriter based in Madison, WI. A few months spent writing and recording music in a South Madison warehouse yielded a dynamic new batch of tunes, ranging from amplified rants to whispery pop songs, which later became the full length release, "Take Me Down the Interstate".
The album is a testament to life on the road, drunken sing-a-longs and hard-earned thinly-spread paychecks. It’s not for the faint hearted but its dog-eared charm should resonate with folks who have been through the ringer a couple times.

"Nick Whetro and Karl Christenson's songwriting and ever-changing arrangements find a perfect medium between totally out there and totally familiar sounding, something that’s normally impossible to pull off at a live show."
-Scott Gordon and Bob Marshall, Madison AV Club
Note: Flatbear has recently changed their name to Flight.
"Jentri Colello recently started billing herself and her band as Flatbear, presenting the music as more of a group effort than just a good local singer-songwriter with backing musicians. Colello's songs and glum, elegant, holding-something-back vocal style are the heart of Flatbear's first full-length album, Flying Days, but her bandmates resourcefully craft a distinctive sound. For the most part, Flatbear's good at making do with the basics, crafting an eerie, dynamic environment for Colello's lyrics with subdued electric guitars, piano, and restless rhythm section on "Sea Of Monsters" and "Jetskis." But Flying Days also tries out some more elaborate arrangements, bringing in strings on the aforementioned "Jetskis" and layering "Flying Days" with a clatter of horns and clarinet."
-Madsion AV Club

One of the over-arching themes of the music of CLOVIS MANN is evolution. Dan Plourde, formerly of Run Side Down, brings his intuitive complexity to the band as he takes over the bass duties. Having been a friend of the Mann for years, Dan is locked in with Ethan Noordyk's persuasive percussion to create a formidable foundation. D.P. knows when to float in the pocket, but he is not afraid to add some fury to the mix. Vince Faris, keyboard maestro for funk machine Nuggernaut, is another fresh addition to the fracas. Vince cajoles, tickles, and wrenches notes and tones kicking and screaming from his arsenal of keyed instruments. The bubbly organ sounds add a vintage, smoky patina that elevates the band's overall intensity. Ethan still continues to wow audiences with his dexterity, ferocious chops, and impeccable taste. Having played over a thousand live shows, he knows how to work a crowd into a frenzy with his bombast and Bonham-like solos. Top it off with Daniel Walkner's soulful riffs, graceful bends, and slippery slides on lead, bottleneck, and lap-steel guitar and you have a rock solid recipe for greasy groove gumbo. The CLOVIS MANN live experience has always been an intense musical commitment. The swirling styles and fire-breathing vocals continue to bend genres and explore new musical territories. Come check out a live show, or pick up one of our albums. Join the Evolution…

“If someone played this EP (Vireo) between acts at say, Bonaroo, a lot of college age fans would be scrambling to find out who recorded it.” -The Isthmus, Madison, WI
“With vocals like a younger and more decipherable Dylan, Flame Shark is one of the most promising new acts in town.”-muzzleofbees.com, Madison, WI
“Their record (Midnight On Pearl Beach) has a quiet, almost breezy feel, but when turned up a little louder reveals a band with a confident command of their own sound...gleefully weird rockers in the spirit of Viva Voce.” -The Onion, Madison, WI
“With artistry like this, Flame Shark won’t go unrecognized for long.” -
Forum Newsweekly, Shreveport, LA
