Handcrafted

Formed in 2001 by brothers Jesse and Jordan Hensley, Handcrafted has always been a bit of a family affair. With thrashing guitars and an old school punk rock formula, Handcrafted quickly made a name for themselves as one of the only punk rock bands in South Atlanta, GA. After the tragic and untimely death of Jordan in 2005, the band was forced into nearly a 15 year hiatus. In 2020, Handcrafted was reborn, with new members and a brand new sound. Jesse recruited new lead guitarist Greyson Hensley (who is actually Jordan’s son). Expect plenty of new music and even some old releases soon! Most importantly, live shows!!

Sparrow Blue

Sparrow Blue was formed in St. Albert, AB, Canada with members Des Parks(vocals), Jon Dombroski (guitar), Liam Holm (drums), Russell McCann (percussion), Chad Plamondon (guitar) and Caden Doyle (bass). Inspired by the old school roots of Rock & Roll, Sparrow Blue has developed their own classic sound coining the term Real Thick Rock & Roll. With influences such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Mountain, the band’s hard-rock music and high-energy performances are sure to bring fire to any stage.

Sparrow Blue has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Finger Eleven, The Sheepdogs, The Trews, Default, The Dirty Nil, The Watchmen, Wide Mouth Mason, Rick Springfield, The Pursuit of Happiness, Tommy Tutone, One Bad Son and much more. The band has played many notable festivals in the Canada area such as Taste of Edmonton, Taste of Calgary, Edmonton RockFest, Funtastic Fest Vernon, Together Again Music Fest, Extreme Mudfest and many more. The band also had an extremely successful touring season in 2023, seeing sold out cities all across Canada. Sparrow Blue recently released their latest single “Jack The Stranger” which was recorded in their own home studio called “The Blue Room”.  A new album has also just been released titled “No Lies, No Tricks” which is now being followed with national touring all summer and fall.

JOA

Something old. Something new. That’s the critical musical balance behind Like Clockwork: an odyssey of sound, mind, spirit and poetic lyricism from the chaotic, yet diametrically romantic mind of Jesse Owen Astin.
