CASTING SHADOWS Formed in 2016 by vocalist Matthew Barnes, guitarist Chris Ornberg, and bassist Daniel Jackson, the group got together and began creating their solace. They soon took to the stage to share their words with others. Through relentless live performances, they honed their songwriting and live performance skills while building a rabid fan base. Casting Shadows progressed, developing their unique sound with second guitarist, Adam Bice, and drummer, Nick Gallagher. Over the years, the band has become one of the East Coast’s most sought out live acts. Their music shows the duality of human nature. Shadows can only be formed with light and their music portrays that opposition. At times, it delivers deep seething audio based anger, only to change course to make space for lush melodies and beautiful harmonies. This rich sound imprints on your mind and psyche with a strong connection and understanding. It dares you to try and inspires to push you to fight through the doldrums and stress of this day and age. https://www.facebook.com/CastingShadowsBand

INVERTER Inverter (Boston, MA) formed initially as a studio project between Guitarist Bill Bracken and frontman/former HGTV host Derek "Deek" Diedricksen (both former employees of the rock radio powerhouse WBCN). After releasing their debut album, "The band that wasn't a band" began receiving show offers which lead them to enlist Jeff Lawn (ex-7th Rail Crew/ex-Genuflect) on drums, and Jimmy "Piano Wire" Evangelista on bass. The band has since shared the stage with the likes of Hed(pe), Trivium, Life Of Agony, Kottonmouth Kings, Twiztid, Green Jelly, Dope, Sabaton, Flaw, Pro-Pain, and more. https://www.facebook.com/inverterboston
