Formed at the beginning of 2014, Junkyardfieldtrip was originally put together as a songwriting vehicle for Mike Gladstone and Rob Smith. After adding one of western NY’s top rhythm sections (Emmett Ientilucci and Don Torpy), the band started playing acoustic shows around the Rochester, NY area. Eventually the band started writing and playing more electric material.

Over the last 2 years, Junkyardfieldtrip has quickly become one of the region’s most in-demand, eclectic bands, being nominated by City Newspaper’s Best of Rochester award for best band. In the summer of 2015, the band played the prestigious Fairport Music Festival. With outstanding musicianship, memorable original material and cool and unexpected covers and remakes, JYFT is not to be missed!

Lisa Winter is a singer-songwriter from Upstate, NY. Americana soul, woven with new folk, embedded in gospel roots.

Participating in a high school talent show sparked a passion for writing and performing… She has applied her heart and soul to the craft, resulting in rich, inspiring songs. Her self-taught style of guitar delivers interesting syncopation, finger picking, and creative expression.

Frank deBlase of CITY Newspaper describes her songs as “little prayers sent up on gossamer wings…. They’re lyrically impactful yet melodically gentle. The Rochester singer-songwriter is a compelling performer.”

The East End Drifters deliver Rock & Roll with soul.

Joe’s powerful voice blends perfectly with Pete’s, and together the Fornieri brothers belt out tunes from the 50’s thru the 80’s while throwing in a healthy dose of roots blues.

The brothers fill out the sound with guitars, harp, and mandolin with Matt McNulty laying down the foundation on bass, and for extra thump and larger stages the trio adds Julius Varrenti on drums.
