ABOUT ADRIENNE MACK-DAVIS
Adrienne Mack-Davis is a classically trained singer/songwriter originally from Rochester, NY. She emanates positivity and self love with hard hitting Soul/RnB melodies fused with infectious Hip Hop, Dance and Pop instrumentals.
She has traveled the world performing over 1700 live shows both nationally and internationally opening and collaborating with the likes of Dead Prez, Talib Kweli, Rakim, and KRS-One to name a few. She has participated in over 50 service workshops in over 9 countries on such topics such as anti-human trafficking, entrepreneurship, creative arts and women’s empowerment including taking part in the Artist Envoy Program via the United States Embassy in 2023.
As a child she gravitated towards music naturally and would sing whenever she had the chance. While in band class as a middle schooler her adored music teacher heard her belting out classical riffs that she had heard at home as her mother always played a lot of opera music during her upbringing. She exclaimed “What are you doing in band class with a voice like that?!” and promptly took Adrienne on as a vocal student in her 6th grade year and further connected her to study with Renee Fleming’s mother Patricia Alexander through the Eastman School of Music’s Young Adults Program. There she would receive training for the next 4 years alongside still more private lessons with the great American Bassist Thomas Paul.
Adrienne never felt like the typical American soprano that her family and mentors saw she had the potential to be and she was driven to explore for herself what the world had in store for her voice and her purpose in music. Upon receiving a call back for the highly successful Broadway show Rent on Broadway during her senior year of high school Adrienne decided to move to NYC the summer after graduating at the age of 18. For the next several years Adrienne explored the possibilities of her creativity, crossing paths with many different styles of music as well as other artists. This broadened her range even more and at the age of 22 Adrienne decided to finally pursue a degree in music from SUNY Purchase in upstate NY. There she would participate in their opera program for only her freshman year of conservatory before transferring to the Studio Composition department where she would ultimately find her true voice and love for her own original sound.
AMD has been a featured artist on major festivals like SXSW, A3C, Bridge Fest, Hue Fest, Grassroots and more. She has been featured on the SoFar Sounds Live series and has the versatility that allows her to play to a large spectrum of different performance spaces.
Based currently in the New England area she performs with her own solo band as well as with Harsh a well known Seacoast RnB/Soul experience. AMD is a one of a kind performer and provides an experience that you won’t soon forget. Check out her newest single “Marshmallow”and her 2023 project entitled “Healer” out now on all streaming platforms.

ABOUT FLAMINGOSIS ( FLAMINGOSIS.COM )
Flamingosis makes the soundtrack to being your best self. Under the spell of Aaron Velasquez, the New Jersey-raised and Brooklyn-based artist and producer, handcrafted electronic beats meet live instrumentation spiked with funk in the center of the dancefloor (right underneath the disco ball). The ensuing overflow of energy might just inspire you to get up and move, fall in love, or even change your life. Extending a creative arc without comparison, he strikes a deep emotional chord on his 2024 full-length album, Better Will Come.
“Everyone wants to get better in some way,” he states. “The album highlights my own personal experience of growing, and you can potentially relate your story to what I went through. I learned a lot of hard lessons, but I made a conscious effort to grow in every way—not just musically, but physically, mentally, and spiritually. I did a lot of inner work, and I channeled these experiences into the music. If you pursue self-improvement, life improves around you too.”
Artistically, he has continued to progress at an impressive pace. Piling up over 100 million streams and counting, he has dropped one fan favorite project after another, including Pleasure Palette [2015], Kahunastyle [2016], Bright Moments [2016], Daymaker [2021] and collaborative album Bliss Station [2023]. Of the latter, ThisSongIsSick raved, “This is the perfect album to rinse outside by the pool, at the park, in your backyard, or wherever you have a space to move around,” and EARMILK christened it “an electronic journey through time and space.” Along the way, he teamed up with everyone from Big Gigantic, GRiZ and Tokimonsta to Matoma for collaborations. Simultaneously, he notably shined at festivals, including Austin City Limits, Electric Forest, Okeechobee, Holy Ship!, Voodoo Music + Arts, and more.
A season of transformation and awakening underlined the genesis of Better Will Come.
“Around the time of the Daymaker tour, behind-the-scenes life hit me in an unexpected way I didn’t think was possible,” he recalls. “In turn, I took a downward spiral as a direct result of my poor choices and failure to balance things in my personal life. It was a hard pill to swallow, but I had to get real. I acknowledged it and consciously made a change. I started eating healthier, going to the gym, and seeing a therapist. Everything helped a lot. I funneled the inner pain and turmoil into the music.”
He did so during sessions in New York and Denver. Beyond shaping lively and lush soundscapes of his own, he orchestrated performances by a bevy of musicians such as Jeff Franca, Hunter Roberts, Bora Lee, Mike Tallman, and Eddie Roberts. Akin to a conductor, he actively produced the players and arranged the tracks.
Now, he introduces this chapter via the uplifting single “Feel Yourself” [with Marc Rebillet]. A seventies-style synth line wraps around the bass, while a head-nodding beat sets the tempo punctuated by glimmering guitar and a loose lead. Rebillet’s buttery smooth vocals engage and empower as he urges, “Nobody feeling you, gotta feel yourself.”
“Marc and I have known each other since 2019,” he says. “I admire him as a musician and as a person. We reconnected in 2022, and it was dope he made time for me. ‘Feel Yourself’is straight-to-the-point. He came up with the hook on the spot, and it’s almost like a mantra. Your inner consciousness is telling you, ‘People around you can love you for who you are. At the end of the day though, nobody can help you and love you for you; you have to do that. You need to do the inner work.”
Elsewhere, “Soulsearcher” uncorks a blast of sonic sunshine enlivened by ecstatic strings, ebullient keys, engaging horns, and an entrancing vocal. “I finally knew how to finish the song after the life experience I’d gone through,” he states. “It’s about searching deep, inquiring within, and telling yourself the healthiest way to go on your path.”
“Nebula Gazer” hinges on a clean funk riff and foot-stomping bass. Built around a core synth line, successive solos swirl across this galaxy in an intergalactic call-and-response.
“There are way more solos on the album,” he smiles. “It made everything more colorful.”
The unabashed soul of “Life and Death of Hard Times” explores an overarching theme with a strutting groove and slick thump of its own. “We all go through rough periods,” he observes. “That’s just human experience. We suffer, but it doesn’t last forever. ‘Life and Death of Hard Times’ describes the beginning and end cycle of a hard time. You come out stronger on the other side.”
Then, there’s the closer “Better Will Come.” He samples Gil Scott-Heron whose words, “If you take your time, you might change your mind,” prove as prescient and appropriate as ever layered atop a buoyant soundscape.
“Gil’s words are looped through the song, and it ties the whole album together,” he notes. “If you really do take your time, you can change your mind and everything, in general. It’s a full circle moment.”
In order to bring the music to life on stage, Flamingosis will hit the road with a band for the very first time. At the end of 2023, he performed a pair of gigs in Denver at Cervantes joined by Bodega Groove Collective. The drums, horns, guitar, and bass added a full-bodied bombast to the set unlike anything he’d delivered prior.
“The shows in Denver were pretty much the climax of my music career thus far,” he goes on. “I’d never played with a live band, so it was a major change. I’ve learned you need to face new challenges head-on. It’s what we did, and it went great. It’s going to be really cool to do the same thing on the road.”
In the end, Flamingosis delivers a message meant to be shared aloud on the album.
“It’s a reminder that no matter what you’re going through, you can be better for yourself,” he leaves off. “Hard times don’t last. All of those little things add up to change you for the better. Am I where I want to be? Probably not yet, but I’m a lot better than I was when I started the whole process.”

Fans who came to love the heady mix of childlike glee and melancholy with which Kelly flavored his upbeat songs remain steadfast to this day. Over the years, The Samples have played with the heavyweights, like Phish, Sting and the Allman Brothers, and were instrumental in launching the careers of the Dave Matthews Band, Lisa Loeb and Hootie and the Blowfish - all three opened for The Samples in their early days of national touring.

ABOUT BLACK UHURU ( BLACKUHURUOFFICIAL.COM ):
For over 50 years Black Uhuru has remained one of the most popular recognized prolific reggae band from Jamaica. The living legends have earned several achievements in the music industry including winning the first ever Grammy Award for reggae music. They’re long success along with having the highest reggae record sales after Bob Marley & the most songs sampled by other artist over the years has allowed them to become Ambassadors of reggae.
The roots of Black Uhuru formed in Kingston’s “Waterhouse” District in the late 60’s. It is the home of founder & leader Derrick “Duckie” Simpson along with all the rest of the singers from the group. The original Uhuru’s Swahili for “freedom” were Duckie, Don Carlos & Garth Dennis. The first song was a Curtis Mayfield cover of “Folk Song”. They made only a couple more songs before Don left to pursue a solo career & Garth joined Wailing Souls. The two were replaced by Michael Rose & Errol Nelson both from Waterhouse. They recorded the debut album “Love Crises” in 1977 for Prince Jammy later re-released as “Black Sounds of Freedom”. Errol later left the group to join the Jays & was replaced by female singer Puma Jones.
This new line-up is when the band began to collaborate with Sly & Robbie & developed the “classic Uhuru” sound of the 80’s. A unique style full of heavy drum & bass, sharp keys, loud guitar riffs & long instrumentals filled with whirly background effects & the signature “wow oh-oh oh’s” echo. It was during this period they signed with Island Records. They began touring internationally & started receiving worldwide attention. They recorded some of their most popular albums like “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” “Sensimelia” & “Chill Out”. The album “Red” was voted #23 for Rolling Stone Magazine list of 100 greatest albums of the 80’s. And history was made when they won reggae’s first grammy award in 1984 for the album “Anthem”. Shortly after the grammy Michael left the group to go solo.
Another Waterhouse resident named Junior Reid became the new lead singer. Two albums were released “Brutal” nominated for grammy & “Positive” with Ras Records. These albums included popular hits like “Dreadlocks on the Mountain” “Fit You Haffi Fit” & one of the groups first music videos “Great Train Robbery”. Sadly due to ill health Puma passed away in 1990. Around this time Jr. Reid was having visa issues unable to tour.
During the mid 90’s the original members reunited. Four albums were released “Now”, “Iron”, Storm”, “Mystical Truth” & “Strongg” all nominated for grammy. They made an award-winning music video for “Tip of the Iceberg” that featured rap star Ice-T & another video for “One Love” featuring Louie Rankin. They performed live on television for VH1 a cover version of Jimmy Hendrix “Hey Joe”. In 1994 they won the Diamonds Awards for Excellence. Unfortunately, the group began to dispute over band legal rights & went to court in the late 90’s. Duckie won the rights to the name.
As the new millennium approached Duckie found Andrew Bee’s once again from Waterhouse. Bee’s first tour with the band was in 1996 in Brazil. They released two albums “Unification” in 1998 & “Dynasty” in 2001. In 2002 they reunited with Sly & Robbie for an international world tour & released a live album/dvd “Dubbin it Live”. The group resurfaced in 2010 & has been touring extensively throughout Europe, South America & the United States. In 2012 they performed in a Broadway musical in Los Angeles called “Loving the Silent Tears”. In 2013 Duckie was awarded a lifetime achievement award from the IRWMA. In 2017 they released a new single & music video “Jah Guide” a Peter Tosh tribute that featured Bugle.
In 2018 Black Uhuru released “As The World Turns” the newest album after 15 years. It was nominated for “Best Reggae Album” at the 61st Grammy Awards. For the first time it featured Duckie on lead for the entire album. To support the album the band headed on a major US Tour & Hawaii. During the East Coast leg of the tour they appeared live on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series where they performed a new single “I See You” taken from the “Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica Reloaded” album produced by Sean Edwards of Contractor Music. Two music videos "Chalice" & "War Crime" were filmed by Benji Cooper for the album both featured on Reggaeville.
Right before the pandemic Black Uhuru went on a small West Coast Tour with Dylan's Dharma & Etana where they performed at the One Love Festival in Long Beach. During the "lock-down" the band was idle all of 2020. Duckie did one live stream performance for Kumar's Kulture Walk St. Bess live video stream series during reggae month.
In 2021 Black Uhuru released a new single "Jamaica to Here" mixed by Shaquille "Skunga" Kong, "Med Dread" & Mark "Jah Servant" Giles. Early this year in 2022 Black Uhuru just released a new full length album titled "New Day" & music video for "Brand New Day" that features the members of Dylan's Dharma band. Partnering with Law Records the album was produced by King Hopeton at his Double Lion Studio in Helltown California & mixed by Jermaine "Ajang" Forde with Dylan's Dharma band as the Executive Producers.Three music videos were made for the album "Top Ranking", "Gal Next Door" & the title track "New Day" all filmed by King Hopeton.
After the Pandemic Black Uhuru got back on the road in 2022. Starting with a small West Coast US Tour with Dlyan's Dharma in the Spring. Then in the Summer they headlined the Puerto Rico Reggae Festival at the Tito Puente Amphitheater. And finished a major US Tour in the Fall.
In 2023 Duckie released a new track titled "Teaching of his Majesty" that features Jah Mason from Boxy Records. Black Uhuru went on one small US West Coast Tour & headlined the Truckee Reggae Fest.

Primo Cubano return to the Rooftop at Bayside Bowl for an evening of latin music and dance on Friday, August 15th. | all-ages | *ticketed show*
ABOUT PRMIO CUBANO (PRIMOCUBANO.COM)
Primo Cubano plays traditional Cuban dance music dating back to the turn of the 20th Century. Son is the most popular style to come out of Cuba and is the primary contributor to the blend of Latin styles today known as Salsa. It was first a music of the country people and eventually migrated to Havana, where it was urbanized and began to draw a wider audience.
Guitarist Paul D’Alessio, a simple-living country man himself, came into contact with this music on a trip to Cuba in 2004 with the Brunswick-Trinidad Sister City Association, a cooperative between Brunswick, ME and the city of Trinidad, Cuba. He began learning to play Son music on a guitar-like instrument native to Cuba called the tres and subsequently formed Primo Cubano, “Cuban Cousin”.
Trumpeter Marc Chillemi has also spent time in Cuba and has played in various other Latin groups. He also plays percussion and sings on the choruses, or coros, to which the lead singer, or sonero responds with an improvised lyric.
Lenny Hatch has loved the congas since he first heard Mongo Santamaría play Watermelon, and he has been playing them in addition to the bongó and other percussion instruments for over 20 years now.
Eric Winter has been singing all his life and began studying Spanish at the age of 12. He has become particularly interested in Cuban music in the last few years. Eric also plays maracas and is the newest addition to Primo Cubano.
Keeping it all together is Duane Edwards on the bass fiddle. He is a graduate of the University of Maine at Augusta and plays in various groups in the area. As a jazz student, he took very quickly to the tumbaobass pattern that makes this music so danceable.
