About The Dishonest Fiddlers - The Dishonest Fiddlers are an emerging acoustic folk band from Northeastern Pennsylvania. Bluegrass and Jug Band music are obvious influences that have helped to forge and inspire their unique, homegrown sound while providing a solid musical foundation. Socially conscious songwriting and old time sensibilities will open even the most discerning ear.
Formed in 2012 around the music and writing of Dave Brown, The Dishonest Fiddlers grew progressively and organically into what they are today. Solo and duo gigs were not uncommon in the early stages with Dave and Josh Kulick (Banjo and Dobro), or Dave and Ron Penska (Bass) playing gigs throughout Scranton and the surrounding areas. Eventually the three of them steadily joined forces to become the earliest incarnation of The Dishonest Fiddlers. As the original music of Dave began to mature and progress, the band realized a fourth member and second guitar would add just what the band was looking for. After many trials and errors, Patrick Casper was invited to a gig and right away the band was set with its current and final lineup.
About Jung Bergo - Jung Bergo is an independent Alt/Roots Rock group based out of Scranton Pennsylvania that spends a great deal of time writing, recording, and performing an original blend of rock and roll. Formed in 2008 by long-time friends and college roommates Jeremy Burke(guitar/vocals) and Dave Connor(bass) as a way to perform a rather large collection of songs the pair had written. Jung Bergo became a four piece with the addition of Jeremy's brother Jeff Burke(guitar/keys/vocals) and Corey Buckley(drums) with their first performance in April of '09. The group spent the next four years performing at clubs and bars, honing their sound and working on their first record with Bret Alexander(The Badlees; Gentleman East) at Saturation Acres. Taking over two years to complete, Jeff Burke had already relocated to Colorado by the time the album was pressed at the end of 2014. The group managed to stay afloat, and thrive throughout various personnel changes. In 2014 the band gained a major asset with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Shawn Caden(Lumbertruck; Erthan; Rogue Chimp), who allows live shows to feature an ever expanding array of instrumental accompaniment, lending their music to new interpretation of the bands growing catalogue. Jung Bergo released their debut album 'Thieves' in 2015, which went on to receive a nomination for Album of the Year at the Steamtown Music Awards. Performing at various music festivals, famed venues, and breweries throughout the region, the band continues to carve a path all their own. In the fall of 2015, the band's lineup received another area veteran in James Naylor(MoonBagg; Trippin' on Nothin') who took over the vacant drum throne. Naylor's wild energy and tasteful sense of rhythm allows the bands music to breathe in new and exciting ways. With the new lineup finishing tracking on their self produced follow up to 'Thieves', Shawn Caden wears many hats in the process acting as producer, engineer, and performer. 'Everything New Is Old Again' is set to be released in the spring of 2016 with subsequent tour dates to follow, and another two albums in the works.
