Stevie Grateful Susie and Jake made a band, it’s probably the only folk punk rap group you have ever heard of! #folkpunkrapLearn more at.facebook.com/StevieGrateful/ or download their music at https://steviegrateful.bandcamp.com/

Vocals- Susie, Guitar/Other Vocals- Jake, Bass - Justin

GARAGE KEPT, the band Founded officially on June 12, 2012, with their first live gig, Garage Kept evolved into

the four piece band that has been playing together since October of 2014. Drummer Pete Anderson sings and plays tambourine in addition to driving the band with his pounding beat. Kenny Thornhill holds down the rhythm with his thumping bass playing. Brian Weiss, lead guitar player and singer, whose wailing leads, run the spectrum from Allman Brothers to ZZ Top. Brian is the youngest member of the band and his energy brings freshness. Butch McCaffery, whose garage this all started in, plays rhythm guitars,

harmonica and also sings. The “Classic Rock” band plays mostly on LBI, but spans their territory from Atlantic City to Somerset NJ. Find them under Garage Kept on Facebook for more information and booking.
