Philly favorite, Agent Moosehead has blurred the lines between style & genre with their unique approach to live music. Known for splicing precise composed sections with mind-bending improvisational jazz/rock landscapes, Agent Moosehead was named Deli Magazine's: ‘Philly Artist of the Month' in March 2009, took final honors at the World Café Live's: "2008 Beta Hi Fi Battle of the Bands" and is currently finalist in Philadelphia Weekly's "Concert in the Park" live music series. Not bad for a band which is fond of covering - in addition to their own offbeat and distinctive songs - everything from Nintendo music & TV Show themes to King Crimson!

In the past, special guests sitting in with Agent Moosehead have included Zappa percussionist and vibe-legend: Ed Mann, philly-jazz staple: Elliott Levin, and more recently, trombone-phenom & John Legend band mate: Aaron Goode. Additionally, AM has shared the bill with DJ Logic, Deep Banana Blackout, The Big Organ Trio, Juggling Suns, King Crimson bassist: Tony Levin as well as countless others! Don't miss Agent Moosehead when they return to one of their favorite stages: live at the World Cafe!

The Josh and Pete Band mix late period British 60s pop not unlike The Zombies' 'odyssey and oracle' or The Kinks' 'village green preservation society' with a quirky American Showtune esthetic, crafting creative, energetic pop tunes. Fun is an understatement for this four piece jammy goofball band.

Brothers, Josh Band and Pete Band, create vocally complex harmonies and compositions. Throw in King Alon Hafri on a driving bass, John Chefster on bopping Drums and you've got a full team of colorful renaissance men ready to fill you up with rock and roll.

Their classic rock influences mixed with a seriously silly undertone, creates a diverse and enthusiastic sound. An eclectic musical experiment sure to inspire you to dance.

The Juice is a four-piece ensemble comprised of Jon Duxbury (keys), Brendan Johnson (bass), Blaine Kneeshaw (drums), and Ian Nester Moran (guitar). Since its humble beginnings in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia in early 2006, this local act has taken its music from basements and house parties to some of the most happening venues in the city. Mixing funk, jazz, and dance beats with more traditional jam compositions and eyebrow-raising covers, The Juice has taken its show to spots throughout the tristate area, performed at Camp Bisco VII, and also cultivated a festival of their own, the Muddy River Jam Festival held each summer in central PA. Known to please both the most seasoned of veterans and newbies alike, The Juice has a bit of something for everyone.
