The New Ben Franklins
Sonic alt-country. Johnny Cash on a really loud distortion day... and sometimes like Conway Twitty with a fuzz pedal... and sometimes like The Catherine Wheel with twangy country guitars or Ride with much less talent.
New Ben Franklins have always been about sonicness... if that's a word, and I don't think it is. Since the band's formation in 1992 they have always been about making some noise. Starting out as a drum machine-driven 3 piece playing music like The Sisters wish they could (but not nearly as great as the Lorries), the band soon added a live drummer and were off. During the mid 90s, the band released three albums and saw some modicum of success as a regional band, touring and garnering radio play in the Rocky Mountain region. From '96 to 2008, the band has evolved - through a string of bass players and drummers - to its current incarnation - David DeVoe on vocals and guitar, Mark Kosta on drums, Tom Oberheide laying down pedal steel and banjo and whatever else we ask him to do, Justin Deutschmann on bass guitar, and the occasional wandering musician stopping in to play something else. The band's newer music has a touch of old country in it while maintaining its sonic (and loud) features. As DeVoe gets a bit older, his songs seem to float back to the music upon which he was weaned: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Marty Robbins, Glen Campbell, etc... and all those influences seem to be working their way into the music a bit more each day, building a solid country foundation into the noisy guitar-driven rock that the band has always played.
The band is moving into 2010 with a new EP released in January, and is currently working on new recordings for their next release. The Franklins have always been well known for their live shows, and they continue to play regular shows in the region and make occasional short forays into other parts of the country to play festivals and make short tour runs.
Call it noisy country. Call it Americana. Call it alternative country... It doesn't matter to them, as long as it's loud and a lot of fun.

the Jane Thatcher Band
The music of Jane Thatcher is a powerful array of folk rock and americana, crossing styles and sounds with the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Natalie Merchant, and 10,000 Maniacs. With one taste of her chocolate-flavored voice, foot-stomping rhythms and heartfelt lullabies, you'll see why she continues to stir the souls of her listeners.
Originally from Salt Lake City, Jane's successes have continued to spread like wildfire since landing in Chicago. Highlights include the large Widow's Peak Music Festival, and shows at prominent venues such as Lincoln Hall and Bottom Lounge. A professionally shot music video for "Good Reasons" and a brand new full length on CAUDog Records, "Poundin' a Heartbeat" round out recent achievements
Considering that all this has occurred within the last year and a half, it is safe to say Jane Thatcher has garnered a whirlwind of support, and she won't be slowing down anytime soon. Her guitar and original music is an adventure in high spirits and positive energy.
About
As a solo performer Jane Thatcher is enchanting, and easily captivates the crowd with her intimate songwriting and connection with the audience. In addition, she has really stacked the deck for her music career, forging a partnership with a band of exquisitely talented musicians. Jane's high-octane group, The Steadfast Acrobats, whom appear on "Poundin' a Heartbeat", offer a solid retro-rock pulse that creates a polished, true Americana sound for the masses.
As a social worker in Chicago working with disenfranchised people, families, and children, Jane observes a different perspective of the world we all live in, and she strives each and every day to make a difference. As a singer-songwriter initially inspired by Jewel, as well as other artists of the 60′s and 70′s who had a passion for social change, Jane Thatcher sees music as art that allows people to experience a new reality.
