Mainline is a hard rock band based out of Westchester, New York. Their music is influenced by the rock bands of the 70’s and 80’s but is mixed with modern influences to keep their music fresh. They have played all over the tristate area with many notable acts such as Steven Adler of Guns N’ Roses! Their high energy performances have turned heads everywhere they play.

Diane Gentile

Diane Gentile is a New York Singer Songwriter and Producer. Her last album, The Bad and the Beautiful, contributed to large increase in Spotify listeners, YouTube fans, and garnered her tours with ex-Replacements founder Tommy Stinson, and support slots with Alejandro Escovedo, with whom she released a critically acclaimed duet titled "Walk With Me". Her last foray was co-producing the benefit album Silver Patron Saints for artist Jesse Malin, who suffered a rare debilitating spinal stroke. The album contains covers of Jesse's songs from 26 artists, that also culminated in a 2 night sold out benefit show at NY's Beacon Theater, where she performed a duet with Jesse. Diane is currently recording new songs for a fourth full length.

Alex Cano

Alex Cano is a nationally touring Rock/ Americana artist based in the NY Hudson Valley Region. Known for his combination of smooth baritone and powerful rock vocals, Cano's sound ranges from high energy alternative and blues based rock ‘n’ roll, to intimate Americana/folk/roots rock.

Jim Turner

In over twenty-five years as an acclaimed guitarist, harmonica player, and recording artist, Jim Turner has shared the stage with such greats as B.B. King and Buddy Guy, among many others. He performs both solo and with his band- The Jim Turner Band. He has also appeared in musicals both on and Off-Broadway.

The Velvicks

The Velvicks, like all the best rock and roll stories of the early 21st century, can be traced back to abasement. With influences from Pink Floyd, Queens of The Stone Age, Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, and Radiohead, the band delivers heart-pounding rock that is at once familiar and distinctive. The sounds of the band members individual experiences combined with a shared passion for authentic rock and roll. “Songs are making sense; the band is delivering badass live performances and people are responding to it.” says Vick Nader -

O’hAnleigh

Cindy and Tom have been performing for 22 years as a duo and with their full band, O'hAnleigh. They've performed at pubs, fairs, festivals and private events all over New York and New England including a tour of the midlands in England. They perform classic Irish folk songs as well as their own songs and tunes on the legends of Ireland and the Irish American experience.

No Sailor

No Sailor is American singer-songwriter Kieran Garvey and his five-piece folk band. Their fun and classical approach to folk has been described as "heartwarming and authentic” and "destined for the stages of Newport Folk Festival.” Their captivating live show has earned them comparisons to The Head And The Heart, and The Lumineers. Garvey’s earnest songwriting, paired with a semi-classical band, has a profound way of playing on your heart strings. From the exuberance of ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors,’ to the melancholic strings on ‘Wedding Cake,’ their songs arc from euphoric folk rock to confessional orchestral ballads.
