Segue, The Swamees, Trevor Childs & The Beholders (rock)

Segue
Segue (pronounced SEG-way) is a San Francisco Bay Area-based rock band. Formed in January 1994, in San Rafael, California, Segue blends rock ‘n’ roll with blues, pop, country and funk.

The Swamees
Though the Swamees are firmly rooted in San Francisco, their music sounds as if it drifted off some Louisiana swampland. The band mixes folk subtlety, greasy chicken-shack funk, and country swagger in a pig iron cauldron of molten rock psychedelia. The whole thing would go nicely with chicken fried steak and a side of watermelon at a backyard BBQ.

Trevor Childs and the Beholders (formerly known aseverest)
Trevor Childs & The Beholders are committed devotees of big arena rock: catchy melodies, sing along choruses, celebrations of good times, cheerfully sung bad times, hand claps, guitar solos (before bad 80s metal ruined guitar solos) and songs with that ol' fadeout magic. File under Cheap Trick, Tom Petty, The Cars, Badfinger as well as contemporaries like the The Mother Hips, The Hold Steady and The Darkness.
