Raised in the Schoharie Valley, Durfee's songs reflect his rural upbringing. Leaving pretense and posturing behind, Durfee performs with an aching honesty, pushing his picking capabilities to the limit. Story songs, breath-taking instrumentals, and truly original works dominate Durfee's playing, with surprising covers and moments of lightness and laughter keeping listeners engaged.

Matt Durfee's enchanting, reflective songs are drawn around complex, finger-picked acoustic-guitar lines, like a cross between American Beauty (Grateful Dead) and Nick Drake's Five Leaves Left. Too interesting to be lumped into the pop category, too smart for the freak-folk boom, Durfee is in a category all his own. - Metroland

Durfee also performs with as part of the acoustic rock trio The Rattling Baddlies alongside Thomas Krebs and August Sagehorn; the rhythm section from the Albany rock band Alta Mira.

Harry Pyle is an original solo act from Schaghticoke, NY. He began learning to play keyboards, accordion and music production in 2002. His first show was in 2004 at the American Legion in Schaghticoke. By 2007 he had a reputation for being unique and highly prolific. All while pursuing a bachelor's degree in telecommunications at the SUNY Institute of Technology(2003-2006). 2008 saw the release of The Vault, a 500 track album. Let's just say life got complicated and public performances were stopped in 2009. Over the next few year's he continued to develop different musical abilities and tried to form several bands. The plan for 2013 is to get back out there and do what needs to be done. Harry Pyle is a musician from the capital region of New York. It's mostly instrumental music that ranges from electronic dance music to rock and metal, just about anything goes. Live performances are done with pre-recorded drum, bass, guitar and synth tracks and most often plays an accordion live. Switching between accordion, keys, guitar, and bass in longer sets is also common. The amount of original songs number in the hundreds, so each live performance is different each time.

Sandy McKnight and The Idea began when Sandy had an idea: the idea was to make accessible pop music with lots of harmonies and great songs (similar to The Beatles). The band is unabashedly fun and melodic and all the unhip things a band can be. Sandy McKnight and The Idea is a power pop trio which is blowing minds with super memorable, hook-laden tunes, and a dynamic stage presence that takes one back to the sweat-soaked nights at the Marquee Club in 1960s London. This an exciting pop band with memorable tunes, great harmonies, and a dynamic stage presentation. If you like bands like The Who, The Raspberries, Badfinger or The Kinks, you get the idea! Dave Michaels of EXIT 97.7 says: "It was great rock n' roll! Loved the set! You guys really sounded hot!"

Sandy McKnight has been writing and performing his own songs since 1968. Critics have finally begun discovering his work, and are saying things like "maybe a tribute album is in order", "should have topped the charts in a just and perfect world", "chances are good that you'll find yourself singing along with the first song that you hear, and then you'll be hooked.', and "McKnight has a big power-pop heart". His live shows have been wowing old fans and making new ones.

Sandy's notable projects have included: 1976 - Free N Easy, a dance funk band with the soon-to-be world renowned trombonist, Ray Anderson; 1978 - The Coupons, the New Jersey-based group that eventually became The Smithereens, with drummer Dennis Diken and Peter Dibella of Bell Sound; 1979-80 - Numbers, a NYC pop new wave band that made waves at CBGBs when that meant something; 1981-83 - Hard Knox, a hard pop band managed by Joel Diamond; 1982 - recording with producer Todd Rundgren at his studio, for the Jean-Yves Labatt (M. Frog) album; and, 1983-90 - The Truants, the Sandy-fronted legendary punk pop outfit whose recordings are still fresh today. In the 90s and 2000s, Sandy has been making great solo recordings, and producing projects for various bands and singer-songwriters. His recent box set, a 66-song retrospective of his career as a performer and songwriter over the last 30+ years, called "How I Changed the World", has received rave notices. Sandy also writes comedy for live and TV shows, and his musical, "The Big One", co-written with Liv Cummins, is performed often.

Two Cats in Suits is a subset of The Last Conspirators. The Last Conspirators third album, A Celebration of Fury, is the followup to their critically acclaimed Warparty and When It All Comes Down releases. All Music Guide calls the Last Conspirators "a powerful rock & roll band whose sound fuses old-school punk, roots rock, and heartland rock, with fierce, often politically charged lyrics on top. The Last Conspirators are fronted by singer and songwriter Tim Livingston a pioneering figure on the punk scene in New York State's Hudson Valley."

Nippertown says; "Tim Livingston excels at writing hook-laden, politically charged paeans to pop culture, and his commando team play it rough and crunchy on the band's powerhouse sophomore disc; the follow-up to band's 2007 full-length debut "War Party" - gets pretty close to capturing the energy of their live shows, and if the New York Dolls played sixties psychedelic pop, this is what it would all sound like. Potent stuff." The Big Takeover Magazine weighs in; "A five-song follow-up to Warparty, this equally potent recording hints these guys are not only are on to something good, they're just getting started. Fronted by Upstate NY punk legend, Tim Livingston (whose credits go back to Killed-By-Death style Albany punks, the Morons), the band fills the same sonic space as the Clash, Adverts, Ruts, Stiff Little Fingers and New Model Army. If you want to know where the real songwriters in punk are this day and age, look no further."

Warparty, a set of old-school rock & roll protest songs, was called by the Times Union " The most potent politically charged disc of the year, walking the tightrope between punk passion and polished professionalism." The Big Turn Over Magazine said: "I hear Love, '60s blues rock balladry, ballsy post-punk mashers like 80s Australians, and dexterous guitars that prove ballast for Livingston's burning convictions like "American Son" and our in-foreclosure U.S. of "Innocent". Harp Magizine called it: "incisive and poetic; overall an engaging album ", while CHRONOGRAM said: "a quartet that brings a welcome, Information Age crunch to the tough, melodic sounds of late '70s/early '80s Brit-punk; think The Clash, The Jam, maybe The Ruts or the UK Subs, but with slightly glossier production values and lyrics that take shots at the soul-sucking, high-tech Noughties." Garage and Beat Magazine concurs, "60s psychedelia and '70s punk rage permeate this eclectic mix of angst rattled modern rock."

The band's live shows are emotional, high-energy affairs and so far they have showcased at such venues as; the Mercury Lounge in NYC, Maxwells in NJ, Club Helsinki and various Upstate New York clubs & festivals. They have shared the stage with the The Blasters, Shonen Knife, Mike Watt, New Model Army, Hamell On Trial, Echoes & Shadows, and the Murder Junkies. The Last Cons have been played on radio stations; WFMU, WEQX, WVCR, WVKR, WRPI, WEXT, WSPN and have been featured on Strummerville DIY, Goldie's Garage on Sirius XM (Genya Ravan's show),WAMC's Performance Place, CRUMBS Radio, Capital Underground Radio, Babylon Street Radio, Maximum Threshold Radio and Kaleidoscope.

Mike and Amy are a dynamic duo with energetic original music. Their origin is Bethlehem, PA and are now currently living in Schenectady. They have been working on their three part album for a year and have recently released a pay what you want online downloads of all three. With plans to release a fifteen minute short film and three music videos to go along with the album. Also the band runs an musicians co-op called (Ripple) which they host a open jam/song writing workshop every Sunday at two pm, located at the Moon and River cafe. Its a multi-generational & musical genre spanning get together, in which musicians of all skills sit around in a circle sometimes the whole cafe and take turns leading songs, originals, covers and chords progressions. Hopefully developing a web app to enable d.i.y. musicians to tour more frequently by standardizing the way a venue books music.
