About the Performers

Waitin' On A Train

"...Waitin On A Train embodies the spirit of creativity as they, despite paying homage to an earlier time and sound, can craft songs as timeless and unique as the ones they cover....." Rick Noll - Bona Fide Records

"...I am most impressed with the amount of energy put into their performance. The instruments are played hard and the vocals often reach a fevered pitch....." Walt Crider - President, Seven Mountains Bluegrass Association

Hypnotic Clambake
Hypnotic Clambake has been inciting audiences to riot around the country since its humble beginnings in Boston, MA in 1990. The intervening time has seen the release of seven highly acclaimed albums, performances all over the country with groups such as Phish and the Dave Matthews Band, and thousands of new fans everywhere they've gone.

In the sceme of things, Hypnotic Clambake's newest release Mayonnaise successfully visits pop culture and unleashes a pure, sonic sound experience that rocks the hum-drum of daily life on the planet as we know it! It also serves as an excellent condiment on your next sandwich! Full of irresistable grooves and lyrics, this album explores life, robots, the daily grind, hope, refrigerators, and the integrity of humanity. Get ready to be exposed to a new way of thinking about nothing and everything!
