  • Myrtle 134 Waterman Avenue East Providence, RI, 02914 United States (map)

Soapbox Saints are a rockabilly trio from Providence, RI, featuring Billy Moretti (guitars/vocals), Jack Hanlon (upright bass/vocals), and Tony Nimmo (drums). They are known for their high-energy live performances and have released a debut album, "Play it Cool". Their music is described as a modern take on vintage rockabilly, with influences from artists like Buddy Holly and Carl Perkins

Jake Hunsinger & The Rock Bottom Band ‘Powerhouse Americana'. This is how Jake Hunsinger and company refer to their sound. A quick listen shows that this is a more than apt description. Based out of Providence, Rhode Island, Hunsinger is an eclectic singer/songwriter and avid student of the Country music songwriting traditions. Supported by his dear friends in The Rock Bottom Band, together they showcase energetic performances with rollicking arrangements, dynamic production, and serene hillbilly harmonies over Hunsinger’s inspired songwriting. Hunsinger's voice itself is described as "a blend of full-bodied soul and a bit of a twang, (he) is able to pull this off in excellent fashion". All of this combines to create something between familiar and nostalgic, as well as the new and exciting.

Man Made Hills is the project of songwriter James Carrancio, who recently relocated from Brooklyn, NY to Rhode Island. His latest album, A Sad Good Ol’ Time (July 2024), takes listeners on a soulful journey through grief and healing. Written in the six weeks following the passing of his mother, the record blends heartfelt storytelling, warm vocals, and dynamic instrumentation to explore love, loss, and resilience. With a balance of raw intimacy and emotional depth, Man Made Hills invites listeners to find beauty and strength in life’s most difficult moments.
