"DiLe" Afro-Cuban Orquesta
"Formed by violinist Juan P. Chavez, DiLe is a Latin group that has been long over due. The musicians are amazing talents from all over the world with a common fervor for Afro-Cuban music. Their shows are lively and filled with so much energy that it's almost impossible to not get up and start dancing; however, those who enjoy sitting back and watching a good performance can also be captivated by DiLe through their stellar showmanship."

FINGER
"Six accomplished yet bitingly raw Boston musicians set against a backdrop of straight ahead energy Rock n' Roll and coupled with sweetly sardonic lyrics. A mixed bag of musicology, studio-rat attitude and on-the-road experience, their 2/3rd original and 1/3rd cover songs draw from a pallet of eclectic colors like the avant-garde Velvet Underground, the heavy Black Sabbath and the Country-fried Lynyrd Skynyrd."
