    Guitar virtuoso Gary Backstrom and Keyboard whiz, Dave Osoff (both from the hugely popular jam band, JIGGLE /JIGGLE THE HANDLE), explore new sound dimensions in a very special, exclusive concert event which also features the acclaimed Neil Young Tribute Band, Rust Never Sleeps, and rising singer-songwriter, Sam James. About Gary Backstrom Band The GARY BACKSTROM BAND is a high energy, innovative original act featuring the infectious riffs and songwriting of nationally recognized guitarist Gary Backstrom, the mesmerizing grooves of award winning keyboardist Dave Osoff and the dynamic and soulful rhythm section of bassist Brian O'Connell and drummer Jeremy Esposito.

    The band's music features clever, hook filled songwriting and arrangements with intense interaction among the musicians. Their uniquely funky sound is interwoven with exciting, unpredictable improvisation that can only be heard in the best live acts on the scene today. http://www.garybackstrom.com.

    About Rust Never Sleeps RUST NEVER SLEEPS is a unique, live rock show that celebrates the music,and musical career of Neil Young. Based in the Greater Boston area, Rust Never Sleeps pays "tribute" to Neil Young and his music the best way they know how... with integrity. While some tribute bands are content with a note for note replication of the original recordings, a Rust Never Sleeps show is infused with the passion and truth that comes from musicians using their own unique, creative energy to present these great songs. http://www.rustneversleeps.net/
