It isn't everyday that six seasoned local musicians bump into each other through other projects with the same passion for a band - a band that has influenced their playing and their approach to music. However, this was the case with the musicians in Gilmour's Breakfast. Each member of the band cites Pink Floyd as one of their favorite and most influential bands. It only seemed natural to work as a Pink Floyd tribute band paying homage to their childhood idols. Gilmour's Breakfast is: Rob Taylor (Vocals), Ed Hannon (Keys, Sound Effects and Vocals), Bob Cooper (bass), Martin Stewart (Guitars & Vocals), Dan Whiteknact (Guitars & Backing Vocals) and Pete Dayotas (Drums). Every musician brings years of experienced playing to the table. The group has an established Pink Floyd and Gilmour's Breakfast fan base. Each live performance includes period musical gear, laser light shows, and intelligent/moving lighting. With a constantly revolving set list representing Pink Floyd from their earliest recorded effort (1967's Piper at the Gates of Dawn) through their final release (1994's The Division Bell), any die-hard Pink Floyd fan will be pleased to hear a few deep tracks while the casual listener will recognize plenty of FM hits. Gilmour's Breakfast is sure to please all listeners with their live performance.

Skullfunked is a dynamic rock quartet based out of Central Massachusetts. Formed in the fall of 2005, the band’s focus is on creating original material that taps into a wide range of influences spanning several musical genres…and then delivering it in powerful form live on stage. If there is one element that’s found in the majority of their songs, its well composed funk-rock. This band wants you to dance, but they also want to bring you on a journey potent with musical mastery and catchy melodies. With a driven focus on their songwriting craft, Skullfunked also possesses strong technical capabilities that they display in their tastefully expansive improvisational reaches. It’s been said that Skullfunked summons the spirits of bands ranging from The Allman Brothers Band to Phish, from Herbie Hancock to Pink Floyd, from Dave Mathews Band to Jazz is Dead, and beyond. They borrow from the old in a constant search for the next new. _______________________________________________________________________________________________
There is an attic in Ashland, Massachusetts where you can regularly hear toe-tappin', finger-snappin', tunes being played, and this is where the band's story begins. Taking their name from the aforementioned room, Ashlands Attic is comprised of Joe Benatti on drums, Ben Larracey on guitar, Mark Lawton on bass, and Ryan McMullen on lead vocals and keyboard. Even though they all went to Fitchburg State College, they never collided musically until after they left and realized the real world is just not much fun without a little music. The band molds the sound created by classic influences like The Beatles and Queen with the modern sounds of Coldplay and Keane to create a delicious concoction of pop/rock music that is hard to get out of your head. Ashlands Attic is avilable for club dates, touring support, packaged showcases.

Their live shows are something of a legend in Central Massachusetts. Hila Bernstein of the Pulse magazine tried to explain just what it was that brings people out to Craig shows. "The band has a number of dedicated F.O.C.s (Fans of Craig), so they try to keep their shows fresh…there are jokes, contests and plenty of opportunities for the audience to get involved. Plus, Craig's members are accomplished musicians and often improvise during live performances, reworking their songs and covers."
