[John Roseboro]
Known for his buttery voice and distinct strumming, singer-songwriter and visual artist John Roseboro has been redefining and innovating up and down the coasts. Building off of the likes of João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, Roseboro’s post-bossa style carries other similarities to the greats in that his music focuses on personal and social justice, undertaking major concepts such as human rights, love, and religion.
[Wild Leek River]
Hailing from Northern Vermont, Wild Leek River is a regular 5-piece country band. The songs they play vibrate with sounds of new and old, steady back-beats and good stories. Their style and performances trace its roots from the honky tonks of days gone by, with rowdy shows across Vermont and throughout the Northeast.
In the release of their self-titled debut LP in 2021, they cultivated and honed in on the sound first sketched out in their 2019 release, “The Bacon EP.” The band also took to recording songs by local Vermont Artists and other friends made along the way. On the LP, they perform versions of “Molly Bootlegger” by Jeremy Sicily of Beg, Steal or Borrow and “Good Intentions” by local VT legend Johnny Davis. Rumor has it that the band will also be heading back into the studio in 2023 to cut another full-length LP. Stay tuned, y’all.
