Blips: Four Under The Radar Bands

In our never-ending quest to dig up some great bands that cost less than a corned beef sandwich at Katz’s Deli, we bring you another round of Blips. Blips highlights some great bands that are largely still in their larvae stage, but will soon morph into their beautiful butterfly. In this edition, we have some really cool new music, so take a sec, poke around their various websites, and see what you think of these four up-and-coming musical groups…

Boris Garcia

For me, most bands that have found themselves categorized as jamgrass just don’t do it for me. I like my jam music to rock and show some edge. When Boris Garcia came on the scene as the latest jamgrass sensation I was skeptical that we needed another band in that genre. Then I finally heard there music and I’m having a hard time turning it off. These guys combine the bluegrass stylings of Yonder and Railroad Earth with the hearty rock of folks like Tom Petty and David Lowery of Cracker to create a unique urgent sound that stands out from their peers.

Earlier this month Boris Garcia released a terrific collection of tunes entitled Once More into the Bliss produced by Railroad Earth’s Tim Carbone and features guest appearances from Donna Jean Godchaux-McKay, Buddy Cage and Carbone. The band celebrates the release of the album on November 28 at the Sellersville Theater in Sellersville, PA. Be sure to catch ’em while they’re still playing small venues. You won’t be sorry.
