Nico Lembo was born and raised in Clearwater, Florida and began playing drums at age 11 at the insistence of his father. He attended college at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville in 2006, where he received instruction from world-renowned drummer Danny Gottlieb. Under Danny’s tutelage, Nico developed a refined sense of groove, musicianship, and technique. In 2008, Nico had the great honor of performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City with the UNF Wind Ensemble, and upon graduating in 2010, lent his talents to many Jacksonville area bands performing live shows and recordings. He has recorded with Jacksonville artists Saltwater Grass, Toots Lorraine and the Traffic, and Brady Clampitt, along with the UNF Jazz Ensemble 2 and UNF combo 1. As a member of Saltwater Grass, he played across the southeast, including multiple festivals at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida. 2013 brought a location change to Atlanta, Georgia where he immediately began working with members of Grammy award winning band Arrested Development, and with the award winning corporate band the Emerald Empire Band. He currently lives and works in the Atlanta area.

Rodeo Twister play original rockabilly and honky-tonk music the way God intended it: without the use of them demon drums! But don’t worry your toes won’t tap or your hips won’t shake.

The three Twisters are veterans of Atlanta’s “Redneck Underground” roots music scene and have been members of so many “Best of Atlanta” lists they’ve lost count. Now all together for the first time, they’re bringing a huge crop of brand-new songs and choice covers plus a secret weapon – some of the sweetest two and three-part harmonies you’ve ever heard. And you can hear ‘em, too… without all that bangedy-bang of them demon drums!

The Neon Queen are your alternative ABBA.
TNQ’s version of “Mamma Mia” is available on most digital services like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music and iTunes.
Mystery Cassette is an indie/alternative rock band from Atlanta consisting of Melissa Mason, Jorge Sandrini, Josh Bock, and Ed Behan. Their debut single I Just Wanna Walk Around With You was released on September 6th, a grooving jangle that tips its hat to a chance encounter Ms. Mason once had with Joey Ramone in a New York City restaurant.
The band’s style is a curious mash up of a Southern California songstress with a New Jersey rocker, an NYC Velvet Underground freak, and a hippie from Vermont. Their music is often compared to that of PJ Harvey, Pavement, and The Pretenders.
The band is currently recording an aggressive series of singles that will be released throughout the coming year.
