Hailed as “a small town band with a big imagination” (Pete Mason, NYS Music), Ithaca, NY’s “prog soul” rockers Noon Fifteen deliver songs about love, vampires, politicians, and other monsters. Mandy Goldman (vocals & guitar), Samuel B. Lupowitz (keyboards & vocals), Joe Massa (guitar), and Harry Nichols (bass & vocals) are taking the band into its second decade with their infectious mix of Motown grooves, rock opera grandeur, and melodies that will follow you all the way home. Think Queen meets Aretha, or Lake Street Dive and Yes watching horror movies in their parents’ basement. For the longtime friends and collaborators, nothing is musically off-limits. Their new record, Finish What You Started, “positively glows with brazen defiance. It steams with summery warmth and cheerful, funky power . . . Unapologetically retro . . .  and unstoppably enthusiastic, it’s a kick-ass anti-depressant in album-form, without sacrificing intellectual curiosity or existential honesty" (M. Grant Kellermeyer, Oldstyle Tales Press). There's also a song about dinosaurs.

RÏSING GHOSTS is an alternative band from Syracuse, New York. The soulful vocals of frontlady Ashley Rose soar above a powerful and funky rhythm section, and together they get the dance floor moving with beautiful and mysterious songs of love and loss
