The Big Fat Combo hail from Cheshire and offer their own, wry, well-crafted take on rock ‘n’ roll. The quartet is a classic rockabilly group: upright bass (Tom Murphy) and drums (Tom Smith), rhythm (Tom Hearn) and lead guitar (Cary Pollick). Led by singer Hearn, the Big Fat Combo not only play their original tunes (“Tag Sale,” “Banned by Sam the Clam’s” and “Chicks Dig it,” among others) but also riff on classic rock ‘n’ roll, garage rock, punk, country and even some easy listening chestnuts (“Que Sera Sera,” “It was a Very Good Year”) that they make fully their own.



Moving nimbly between original bluegrass, soulful americana, and honky tonk country, hitch & the Giddyup have developed a reputation as a distinct live act in their home state of Connecticut. Their rich song craft, instrumental prowess, and freewheeling stage presence has won converts in clubs, pubs, theaters and dives throughout new England.

The Zambonis are a Connecticut-based indie rock band formed in 1991 by musicians Dave Schneider (The LeeVees), Peter Katis, Jon Aley, and Tarquin Katis. The Zambonis write songs exclusively about ice hockey. Schneider says of the band’s musical style: “We’re the only band in the world whose two biggest influences are The Beatles and Wayne Gretzky!”[1]
The NHL has commissioned the group to compose theme songs for the Boston Bruins and the Colorado Avalanche.[2] The band has toured with the Stanley Cup[3] and fundraised for Matt Cullen’s organization, Cullen Children’s Foundation.[4]
In deference to the ice resurfacer and Frank Zamboni, The Zambonis are a licensee of the Zamboni Company.

Matt Rhone cut his teeth as a child performing at Girl Scout Camp and has been chasing that high ever since. He hob-knobs together a group of real degenerates who accompany him while he performs however he wants to. Nobody has asked him to stop. Yet.
His moniker is Massive Diva for a reason.
“A Fine American Mess.”
