Jupiter Coyote Duo
Wednesday, Feb. 4
For more than three decades, Jupiter Coyote Duo has carved out a sound all their own — an unmistakable blend of good ol’ Southern rock and funky Appalachian boogie known as mountain rock. With more than 35 years on the road, 6,000-plus shows played and a catalog that has sold a million records independently, Jupiter Coyote Duo stands as a true cornerstone of the American jam-rock scene.
Led by founder, songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Matthew B. Mayes, the band delivers bluegrass-infused funk-rock, rich vocal harmonies and fearless musicianship, never chasing trends, always playing it the way they feel it. Their innovative lineup includes distinctive instruments like the guijo and layered percussion, creating a truly unique sound.
Blair Crimmins and the Hookers
Wednesday, March 4
Blair Crimmins began his music career in Atlanta, Georgia, with a drive to bring ragtime and 1920s-style Dixieland jazz to new audiences. While playing small rock clubs around the Southeast, he developed a sound that is at once modern while being deeply rooted in the past.
A multi-instrumentalist on guitar, banjo and piano, Crimmins writes songs and arrangements for a classic New Orleans-style horn section consisting of trumpet, clarinet and trombone. His debut release “The Musical Stylings Of” became a college radio sensation on WRAS Atlanta, making him the most requested band on the air.
After relentless touring at home and abroad, Blair Crimmins and the Hookers will return to the Beaches Museum with new New Orleans Dixieland music sound, a joyful mix of old and new, including some surprising covers.
Otto Junior Band
Thursday, April 9
Otto Junior discovered the blues at just 12 years old and has quickly emerged as one of the genre’s most exciting young guitar talents. His career highlights include selection into the prestigious Gibson Generation Group and performances alongside artists such as Kingfish, Mike Zito, Little Steven, Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher and many more.
He has toured extensively across Europe and Japan, with U.S. festival and club performances on the horizon, including an appearance at our very own Springing the Blues.
The Otto Junior Band features Otto on vocals and guitar, Jacob Theis on bass and Ola Grindbakken on drums — two seasoned musicians whose versatility helps shape a dynamic sound spanning blues, soul, funk and blues-rock. Together, they deliver high-energy performances that honor blues classics while pushing the genre forward.
