Silverbacks
Gorillas are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Africa. Silverbacks are adult male gorillas are known as silverbacks due to the characteristic silver hair on their backs reaching to the hips. They are also a cover band, a power-trio if you will, who likes to play 90's songs you love from the 90's. Although these guys are getting older, they can still rock. If you grew up in the 90's you will probably like what you hear here. Zombies among us may be entering a Midlife Crisis, but we think we are In Bloom, and while we wonder Where Is My Mind, there will be folks like Taylor that aren't Sober, and will be a Passenger home to where they can they Keep On Rockin in the Free World.

Anthony will perform solo acoustic classic rock from artists suchas The Beatles, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel and The Grateful Dead, to name a few of his favorites.
Sand Machine
Some people dubbed a radio they had been bringing to the beach for many years “Sand Machine” because it was filled with sand, yet it still worked. Inspired by its persistence and dedication to music, they named their band after it. That is the creation myth of Sand Machine. Since then the band has busied itself with creating infective melody lines and harmony arrangements reminiscent of the British invasion overlaying American roots rock. Encompassing social commentary, story-telling, emotional revelation, and a touch of wry, Sand Machine purports to be both the forest and the trees. Besides playing consistently in the Boston area and other parts of New England, they’ve also played NYC, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Nova Scotia and other places.
