thegreyhoundsny.com
Pure straight ahead roots rock n' roll best describes The Greyhounds. This five-piece band from Poughkeepsie NY realized their shared interest in back-to-basics, rhythm-driven rock n' roll and joined forces to form one rockin' unit.
A dedication to their musical roots comes though at full speed. Their blend of Rockabilly, Rhythm & Blues, with the twang of Classic Country and the drive of 60's Beat and Surf instrumentals, roar on all cylinders.
The result is Rock n' Roll in its purest form - dynamic, joyful, powerful and honest.

 ToasterBasket is a dynamic group of five musicians deconstructing, fusing, and re-serving up the sounds of soul, jazz, blues, and funk into a mosaic of “modern motown rock” for your listening pleasure. ToasterBasket is inclusive, cohesive, and improvisational. It is the raw and husky verses of songstress Jezebel Jeffrey, and the syncopated tones of keyboardist Patrick Stokes that started the story of this New York group. The pair began writing music together and at the end of 2017 they added Josh Towers on Bass, Steven Repka on Guitar and most recently Terry Hampton keeping everyone tight on drums. With a wide range of influences, ToasterBasket appeals to listeners of all ages.
