"Leap Year" featuring Jim from the Moon, Jonny Grave, ACME - presented by No Kings Collective February 4, 2012

Get a chance to see some of the bands that made SubMerge amazing! Jim from the Moon, Jonny Grave and ACME live @ The Dunes!

Jim From the Moon
http://www.jimfromthemoon.com/

Jim from the Moon plays acoustic tunes about girls, the devil, and similar distractions. They flow in the vein of Loudon Wainwright III and Neil Young, sung with a voice soaked in years of Irish storytelling. Other times he expels far-out electric rock that is primal and space-ward, with hints of Hendrix's blues. Both sides are focused, catchy, and ready to be eaten by your ears.

Jim is going into the studio this month with drummer Jeff Boyd to record their debut dark folk/space rock album.

Jonny Grave
http://jonnygrave.com/html/about.php

Jonny Grave is a guitarist, songwriter, singer, bandleader, teacher, musical historian, and Bluesman from Washington DC. Growing up in a very musical family, Grave was introduced to the sounds of American traditional folk music early on. At age fifteen he found himself learning slide guitar techniques from old Blues records, and by seventeen he was performing them live.

The distinct sound that Jonny Grave’s music conjures is a resurrection of sorts—The music of R. L. Burnside, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Robert Johnson and Bukka White all find a way into Grave’s playing style. His repertoire of sound is made up of new arrangements of older Blues tunes, and deeply rooted solid originals.

ACME

ACME (a company that makes everything) is composed of Joshua Davis and Cheakaity Brown ,the duo met in late 2009 and began producing music together soon after . In the midst of creating their debut EP " Why Not" , they took on the band form and brough the EP to the live stage in late 2010. Their sound has been called almost every genre across the board but ACME's signature sound is virtually unmatched. There are traces of soul, hip hop, electronic trance, and psychedelic music in ACME's enigmatic yet oddly accessible recordings .
