Matt Axton & Badmoon

Matt Axton is a gifted singer/songwriter. Granted, that’s a claim made by many artists that inhabit the world of Americana these days, but in Matt’s case, it’s more than a mere boast. The ability to make music is firmly infused in his genes, courtesy of a family history that implanted that ability in him early on.

While he modestly describes his sound as a "humble slice of Americana,” it’s clear that it possesses so much more. With a style that encompasses country, folk, roots, rock, R&B, and pure pop proficiency, he defies easy categorization. With a rich reservoir of original tunes — over 300 in fact — and three well received albums (Blue Sky Rain, Matthew C. Axton and Badmoon),  he’s established himself as a prolific and proficient singer, songwriter and guitarist, both on his own and at the helm of his various ensembles.

Even a small sampling of his musical output proves the point. His current single, “Blue Sky Rain,” the title track of his current album, is both stirring and seductive, an easy amble that belies  its description of the topsy turvy travails that accompany the entanglements of relationships.

“Born of Chains,” culled from Badmoon, is flush with steadfast determination, a rugged, relentless bluesy-rocker that conveys clear conviction and a desire to overcome whatever obstacles are tossed in his way.

Bad Dogs

If David Allen Coe and Ronnie Van Zant had a love child in the wilderness of Hanging Hills you’d get Bad Dogs. Hailing from New York/New England, Bad Dogs are a band of ruff and rowdy boys ready to pull your hair and spit in your mouth. Ain’t no spring chickens, they’re a little bit of country and a lotta bit of rock and roll.

Bar Jay Bar

After leaving New England and spending years on the road living out of cars, chasing fiddle festivals, and writing music across the country, he linked up with a rag-tag collective of street buskers in Los Angeles, CA and adopted his Great-Grandfather’s cattle brand as a name–Bar Jay Bar. With a sound honed in front of square dances and sidewalk passersby alike, Bar Jay Bar’s music is born from a love of harmony rich Old-Time country, and features thoughtful originals and reinterpreted classics played on guitar, fiddle, and upright bass. He resides in El Sereno, CA.
