The Usual Suspects formed in 1998 as a jazz trio and have transformed into a broad spectrum jazz group. The group has been known to perform in the traditional jazz trio format playing jazz and pop standards around the Midwest area; however the Suspects can also take on the form of smooth jazz or become an R&B group, featuring vocalists and horns. The Usual Suspects always stay true to its core members and the essence of the music it plays. The group performs in nightclubs, restaurants, and private venues for special events. The Usual Suspects are available as a jazz duo (bass, piano), jazz trio or jazz quartet.

Made up of three of the five members of Vote for Pedro — one of Saint Louis’ most popular party bands — Jeff Faulkner (acoustic guitar, vocals), Eric Wulff (vocals, percussion) and Paul Kriege (keyboards) formed Three Pedros as an opportunity to perform even more of their favorite tunes, but with a slightly different vibe. Whether you’re in the mood to dance, sing along, or just kick back and listen while sharing a few drinks with friends, then Three Pedros is just what you're looking for. With acoustic melodies and fluid keys coupled with rock-solid harmonies, they cover every genre from folk and rock ‘n’ roll to dance, pop and even country. 

Tim Session puts on a show unlike any other. Recording guitar, bass, and drum sounds (all live) into a looping machine, Session is a self-contained, one-man jam band. But Tim doesn't just use the looping machine, he plays it, incorporates it into his show like an instrument.

Tim's guitar style is heavily influenced by guitar phenoms Keller Williams and Michael Hedges. His songwriting and vocal styling is modeled after legends like Paul McCartney and Bob Marley. His lyrics reflect a continuously optimistic take on life and society. His songs are experimental and indie enough to connect with the thriving, underground music scene-yet catchy and mainstream enough to rank him easily among the finest undiscovered John Mayers and Jason Mraz's of the world. He has a stage show that is intimate enough for the smallest coffeehouses, yet powerful enough for much grander stages.

As a solo artist and as frontman of Guerrilla Swing, Tommy Halloran performs over 300 shows per year, playing everywhere from airports and smokey clubs to historic theaters and grand outdoor festivals.  His music is a gumbo of jazz, blues, bossa nova, folk, and rock n' roll.  Tommy Halloran performs old-timey music anyone would appreciate... He is to jazz as Uncle Tupelo was to country-western or Steve Earle to bluegrass. He possesses the schooling (both formal and hard-knocks) as well as the "chops" of a great jazzman... The basic truths of Delta-blues, swing, Gospel, and Bohemia are deeply rooted in Tommy's songwriting psyche. Like Randy Newman or Tom Waits (who seldom appear in the same sentence), his cooking belies his ingredients.

Vote for Pedro can be easily summed up in two words: EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS. While most local musicians were cutting their teeth in the basement or playing bottom-feeder local gigs, the members of Vote for Pedro were touring regionally and nationally in support of their respective releases. The band features former Lost Parade and Soul Kiss member Jeff Faulkner (guitar, vox), former Lost Parade drummer Mex, and former Missile Silo Suite bassist Chris Boslett. Mix in Eric Wulff (Area 51, My 2 Planets) on vocals and Josh Hamer on boards, guitar and vocals, and you have what we like to refer to as quite possibly the world's greatest cover band. Individually, the guys have played to packed houses in local venues including the Duck Room, Cicero's, the Pageant, Mississippi Nights, Riverport/UMB Pavillion, and the American Theater. Not to mention opening spots for such notable acts as Blue October, Foo Fighters, the GO-GOs, Green Day, PointFest, Rick Springfield, The Urge and ZZ Top. And let's not forget the regional and national radio air play. While other cover bands stick to one genre, Vote for Pedro covers the whole spectrum of popular music. Their set list contains such modern rock bands as The Killers, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Jet. They also throw in a touch of classic rock by the likes of Queen, Cheap Trick, AC/DC, and Tom Petty.

What is unknown to new/many fans is that the band consists of 6 members who are all family-- growing up in church together playing music.  "Our parents raised us in an environment that encouraged musical freedom and growth. Many years down the line as we all moved away, went off to school, traveled and kicked our lives off... we found ourselves back in our native city but this time in collaboration for one common and consistent goal-- to share our love for music. " In 2017, band members Daniel Fitzpatrick (keys), Bianca Fitzpatrick (lead vocalist), Greg Fitzpatrick (lead vocalist) and Thomas Paden (drummer)  joined together to create the band as we know today, We Are Root Mod.  What started as a casual project infusing their own unique personalities into upbeat covers, the band set their focus on producing and writing original content. Not too long after, Peter Plank (guitar) and Landon King (bass) joined the movement and completed the union to create the soulful, yet hip sound many of  We Are Root Mod's followers support them for.

From the signature 12-string jangly guitar sound to the beginnings of psychedelic and folk-rock, The Byrds are not only a legendary band but a movement that continues to this day.

Younger Than Yesterday is the band at the center of that movement.

Terry Jones Rogers could harmonize before he could read. He wrote songs, he played in bands and came to Nashville as a young man seeking his fortune. When The Byrds reformed in 1988, Terry Jones Rogers was selected to front the group and has taken various incarnations of the band on tours around the world ever since. 

Terry met guitar and harmonic impresario Scott Nienhaus and asked him to join up in the early 90’s along with drummer Tim Politte. Michael Curtis, bass player extraordinaire, who had been in and around The Byrds, Crazy Horse and The Curtis Brothers joined up a short time later - the line-up was complete and Younger Than Yesterday have been at the forefront of The Byrds continued sound ever since.

This show celebrates all the classic hits like Turn, Turn, Turn, 8 Miles High, Mr. Tamborine Man, So you want to be a Rock and Roll Star, Southern Cross, Chimes and Freedom and so much more.  The band also plays songs from the era as well as originals they’ve all written.
