Squeaky Feet
Squeaky Feet is redefining the prog rock & jam-band experience with their electrifying blend of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and dance grooves. Combining inspiration from giants such as King Crimson, Weather Report, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, and Rush with the modern improvisational ethos of Phish, Umphrey’s McGee, and Dopapod, the Denver-based quintet captivates audiences with high-energy performances that transcend genre boundaries. Seamlessly weaving triumphant solos, intricate rhythms, and exploratory improvisation, Squeaky Feet delivers a sonic journey that leaves listeners enthralled and live audiences in awe.
Founded in 2019 by Berklee College of Music alumni, Squeaky Feet has rapidly built a devoted fanbase, thanks to their unparalleled musicianship and innovative approach to live performances. The band’s lineup—Colin Shore (guitar/vocals), Greg King (guitar), Jimmy Finnegan (bass/vocals), Brian Keller (keyboards/sax/flute/vocals), and Kevin D’Angelo (drums)—showcases a collective virtuosity that sets them apart in the jam scene. Their 2023 debut studio album, Cause for Alarm, solidifies their place as a force to be reckoned with. An 80-minute odyssey of progressive rock and jazz fusion, the album features bold improvisation and contributions from renowned guitarist Mark Lettieri on the lead single, “Tunnel Vision.”
With wide ranging influences and a reputation for creating immersive musical experiences, Squeaky Feet is charting a path to the forefront of modern jam bands, one mind-bending performance at a time.
Whalien
Whalien was born in a rush, winning the 2018 Summer Meltdown Showdown after playing together for only a few months. The win allowed them to perform alongside artists like Lettuce, Greensky Bluegrass, and Big Gigantic at Washington State’s Summer Meltdown Festival.
Since that time the band has played relentlessly around the west coast. They’ve developed a reputation for high-energy live shows featuring surprise trombone solos, energetic disco breakbeats, honky-tonk shuffles and ska suites about cryptids.
Since 2018, Whalien has played more than 200 shows and released two studio albums, ‘For Realien’ in 2022 and ‘Whale Tales’ in December 2023. In 2024 the band began hosting their own annual festival, ‘Splish Splash’ outside of Bellingham, Washington. They’re currently working towards releasing their 3rd studio album, recorded in the fall of 2025."
