No Voodoo Here

No Voodoo Here adds a rich, sonic texture grounded in the spirit of 60s psychedelic rock infused with modern roots influences. Originally a dedicated Jimi Hendrix tribute band, they’ve since evolved into creators of original music that blends psychedelia, reggae, funk, and rock. This hybrid sound reflects their respect for the genre’s heritage while embracing fresh, exploratory musical approaches. Their soundscape, inspired by reggae legends like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, introduces a hypnotic, spiritual layer to the evening. On this bill, No Voodoo Here’s performance invites listeners on a journey through swirling rhythms and soulful grooves, making their presence a vital palette cleanser and energizer.

Jonny Ransom

Jonny Ransom channels the raw, emotive power of blues rock with a contemporary edge, creating a compelling front for the Jonny Ransom Band. Though rooted in Southern California, his playing and vocal style evoke the deep traditions of the Mississippi Delta blues, honoring icons such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton. His recent singles showcase a versatile artist who marries haunting ballads with upbeat, hook-laden blues-pop anthems. Ransom’s commitment to the blues is evident in his passionate delivery and guitar virtuosity, injecting authentic soul into the night’s diverse soundscape. His presence balances the high-energy rockers with a gritty, heartfelt blues sensibility that enriches the evening’s musical narrative.

Ridiculous Thoughts Cranberries Tribute
