KeukaSplash Fest Lineup Announcement: Welcome back Grammy nominated Mike Brown! preambling by Mike Wolfe. The great American road trip is alive and kicking in Mike Brown’s songs. All the mysterious, enchanting back roads that all us romantics sit around daydreaming about come alive on American Hotel. Listening to the album, you can tell Mike’s logged lots of windshield time, that he’s stopped in plenty of small town cafes to break bread with the type of familiar all-American characters we road warriors know so well. They’re what have given Mike’s project legs and taught it to run like no other. Mike and I are kindred spirits, brother of the open road. We may set out looking for entirely different things — I cruise back roads looking for rusty gold and other junkyard treasures, while Mike hunts down priceless performances — but our missions share a very similar passion. We are both driven by love. There’s no way I could put a price on the new friendships and incredible experiences I’ve had on my journeys, and I’m sure Mike feels the same about the musicians he befriended on his quest, the voices he found sprinkled across the country who together fill this great album. I hope you guys enjoy the result of my fellow picker’s lifelong dream as much as I do. God bless the great American road trip dream! Mike Wolfe Antique Archeology American Pickers

Keuka Splash Fest Lineup Announcement:  Introducing Big Mean Sound Machine!

Big Mean Sound Machine was conceived during a lake house recording session in the summer of 2009, Big Mean Sound Machine formed in Ithaca, New York with one goal: to create music that stimulates both Body AND Mind. Today, BMSM’s collective of over a dozen analog artists spread out over the East Coast United States bring together the musical languages of West Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and North America to create a lush bed of rhythm and melody that embraces even the most hardcore fans of both Traditional Funk and Avant-Garde Jazz – and everyone in between. Anyone who has witnessed Big Mean Sound Machine live knows that their performances are among the heaviest and the sweatiest. Those familiar with BMSM's studio releases also know that the band can refine that complex sonic force with unique style and clarity. Big Mean has grown in leaps and bounds by maintaining a busy performance schedule of 100-150 shows each year, captivating cities and festivals all over the United States. For those of you who are tired of the status quo, there is good news: BIG MEAN SOUND MACHINE HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED.

Releases:

With the release of their 3rd full-length studio effort, “CONTRABAND,” Big Mean Sound Machine adds more critical acclaim to that garnered from the release of “Marauders” (2012) and “Ouroboros” (2011). Recorded live in two sessions in 19th Century churches - including Grammy Winning studio Electric Wilburland, which also served as the setting for Big Mean’s 2012 feature length film, “Dr. Iguana: Live in the Studio” – "Contraband" pushes the band even further into uncharted territory. Working with outside engineers Matthew Sacuccimorano (Johnny Dowd, Jennie Lowe Sterns, Black Castle) and Grammy-winner Robert Hunter (Branford Marsalis, Raven) also provided a unique dynamic. Hunter’s mastery over analog technology, specifically the 1970’s-era Triton console (originally built for Elvis Costello, and frequently used by legendary Zydeco outfit Donna The Buffalo) and the 2” reel-to-reel tape machine it feeds, brings a whole new human dimension to the sound- especially on vinyl.

Collaborations:

In addition to studio releases under the name Big Mean Sound Machine, 2013 saw BMSM collaborating with Ghanaian vocalist Yao Foli “Cha Cha” Augustine, along with members of his reggae band Mosaic Foundation, under the name Cha Cha & The Ndor Band. The Ndor Band released the album “Food For Thought,” to raise funds for the Ndor EcoVillage, founded by Augustine in his home village in Ghana, which teaches permaculture and other sustainable farming practices to local farmers. In 2012, BMSM also released “Warrior,” with vocalist Jay Spaker a.k.a. J-San (John Brown’s Body, J-San & the Analogue Sons) under the name J-San & the Big Mean.

The Future:

In 2015 Big Mean is embarking on the most extensive and ambitious national tour in the history of the band, in support of their latest album ‘Contraband’. With shows booked all over the United States and kicking off the new year with a Sold Out show in Ithaca, NY, expanding the Sound Machine family is on the immediate horizon. Release of a 7�� vinyl single 45 on Peace and Rhythm Records out of Boston is scheduled for the spring of 2015, and development of our next studio album is already underway. We're excited to see where the future brings us. The grind continues…

The Touring Band is:

Angelo Peters: Bass, Synths, Percussion

Andrew Klein: Drums, Cymbals, Percussion

Lucas Ashby: Congas, Percussion

Lex Schmidt: Congas, Percussion

Dan Barker: Lead & Rhythm Guitars, Moog Synth

Ray McNamara: Lead & Rhythm Guitars
