Hootie and the Blowfish

Hardly needing an introduction, Hootie and the Blowfish were a quintessential component of the 90s rock scene.

With his 2014 autobiography, Rumours of Glory: A Memoir praised for its eloquence and humanity, Cockburn represents the best of the Canadian spirit.

Panchiko at The Underground

Panchiko

The story of Panchiko is a modern-day online fairytale. Panchiko released their debut project Death Metal' in 2000, garnering almost no success, the band later disbanded. However, in 2018, a random Redditor posted their music after they had found a copy of their CD in a charity shop in 2016.

Make sure to catch this incredible band live in the US this year!
