Shaggy Wonda is a roots rock act that features the shredding saxophone of Teddy Jones, the passionate vocals and riffy guitar of Colby Miller, rock solid bass lines from Steve Laine, and aggressive, animalistic drums from the man known as Panama. An equal blend of emotion and technique is their signature, with an emphasis on melody. Their songs will have you dancing and singing along but offer sub...stance both lyrically and musically for the listener to delve deeper into. Their sound is a modern twist on the rock and roll of decades past and expanded by influences of blues, jazz, bluegrass, and reggae. Shaggy Wonda’s strong song writing and high energy live shows combine to create a package that has something for every music listener.

Elephant Quiz is based out of Bloomington, Indiana and has been performing together since 2006. Having said to be still simultaniously searching for and creating a genre to accurately describe their sound, Elephant Quiz blends, molds, and presents a combination of musical techniques from each member's background. Rock, funk, psychedelic, jam, hip hop, and potentially even a hint of middle-eastern inspired traditions could be found mixed together in just one song. Best known for their energetic live performance style, involving organically orchestrated improvisation, they draw the audience in with a constant change of pace to their shows and unanticipated jams. Though young, these are experienced musicians, most of which have been performing in the musical arena for around 10 years. This experience and their passion combined give Elephant Quiz the ability to provide not just a cohesive blend of sound, but to create an entirely new atmosphere from the moment they hit their first beat.
