Hailing from Providence, Rhode Island, the American alternative rock-folk band Deer Tick, is built on rock, blues and country. In 2004 band founder and singer/songwriter John McCauley toured with a revolving group of musicians for three years until 2007 when he began actively recruiting staple members to create the fully formed group now known as Deer Tick. In August 2008, following years of side jobs and selling handmade CDs, the band recorded and release Born on Flag Day receiving wide critical acclaim. In 2009 The Black Dirt Sessions was released with Deer Tick making its TV debut on the Late Show with David Letterman. The band continued to tour and released Divine Providence in October 2011 featuring hit songs “Clowinin’ Around”, “Let’s All Go to the Bar”, and “Cocktail”. The album displayed a louder and rawer sound, drawing comparisons to The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and The Replacements. The group followed up with three more recordings Negativity, Deer Tick, Vol. 1 and Deer Tick, Vol. 2. Deer Tick continues to tour growing its fan base and rocking venues around the country.
Boston born Singer/Songwriter Izzy Heltai continues to hustle his observational and often relatable songs across the country. Recently performing as a highlighted artist at Bonnaroo 2022, Heltai originally started his love of music on the piano before being inspired to pick up the guitar by folk icons like Joan Baez and Simon and Garfunkel. Heltai was featured on NPR Live Sessions: WGBH Field Recording and his five song EP Day Plan is currently available for streaming.
