Since forming in 2017, the high-octane power funk trio Baked Shrimp has become a top up-and-coming artist in the festival circuit. The energetic and improvisational young talents of Jared Cowen (Guitar/Vocals), Scott Reill (Bass/Vocals), and Jager Soss (Drums/Vocals) from Long Island, NY have built a catalog of over 150 original songs which they cycle through night after night, making every performance unique from the last. The band is coming off a groundbreaking 2022 in which they performed over 120 concerts covering nearly half the United States, as well as a debut performance in Canada. Baked Shrimp has provided direct support for artists such as the Disco Biscuits, Pink Talking Fish, Aqueous, Mihali (from Twiddle), Kung Fu, Consider the Source, and more. They have welcomed on stage special guests featuring members of Goose, Dopapod, Twiddle, Big Something, Brandon Niederauer Band, and Slightly Stoopid. Baked Shrimp is also quickly climbing higher on major festival lineups including Peach Music Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Great South Bay Music Festival, Adirondack Independence Music Festival, Catskill Mountain Jubilee, and even hosts their own festival in Upstate New York called LonCon.
Baked Shrimp founded LonCon in 2021 following the passing of their most loyal supporter and ambassador, Lon “Conscious” Gellman. The inaugural festival featuring live music, art, and two nights of camping took place in August of 2021 at legendary Arrowhead Ranch in Parksville, NY. After a year off in 2022, the band looks forward to the return of LonCon in 2023.
Baked Shrimp
Despite Baked Shrimp’s very intense touring schedule, the trio has managed to find time to consistently release new music. The band’s 2021 release of Conscious received high praise by media outlets such as LiveForLiveMusic, Grateful Web, The Sound Podcast with Ira Haberman, and more. After a quick release of a three-disc live album The Prawno Tapes, Vol. 1, Baked Shrimp went back into the studio to finish their early-2022 release Pork Etiquette. Pork Etiquette was featured on JamBase’s Release Day Picks which highlighted five other albums, four of which were by Vulfpeck, The Weeknd, Lotus, and Cory Wong. Baked Shrimp celebrated the release of Pork Etiquette with a virtual release party in New York City at Relix Studio. The performance was live streamed on Relix’s Twitch Channel to their 40k followers, and featured The Horn Section (members of Turkuaz). The trio is scheduled to head into the studio once again in early 2023 to lay the groundwork for their fourth studio album.
Baked Shrimp launches into 2023 more prepared than ever to show the music world what they are capable of. Baked Shrimp is constantly turning heads and has moved from “Long Island’s best kept secret” to the hardest working band in the business, a secret impossible to keep.
Shantyman
Shantyman is a psychedelic funk-rock quartet based in Massachusetts. They tastefully blend various genres from Funk & Soul to Rock n’ Roll. Constantly playing impromptu style setlists, Shantyman is a tidal wave of peaking riffs, crashing into a funk filled sea of pure joy and excitement.
Over the past 10 years the band has toured all over the country, playing shows at historic venues such as the Bitter End (NYC), Pearl Street Ballroom (Northampton, MA), Middle East downstairs (Cambridge, MA) the Webster Theatre (Hartford, CT), Nectars and Club Metronome (Burlington, VT) as well as multiple music festival circuits over the years. Shantyman spent a few years building their fanbase out west in Colorado, where they played venues such as the Fox Theatre, Owsley’s Golden Road, Be On Key Psychedelic Ripple, and the Trading Post at Red Rocks Amphitheater as a pre-party for the String Cheese Incident. Shantyman has also shared stages with friends such as Twiddle, Kung Fu, Turkuaz, Melvin Seals & JGB, Max Creek, Alan Evan's (Soulive), Lotus, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, EOTO, Spiritual Rez, Honeycomb, Badfish (Tribute to Sublime) and many more.
