Geoffrey Castle is a pioneer on the electric six-string violin. From his beginnings as a street musician in New York City and Paris, he rose to play in the Tony Award winning Broadway production of M. Butterfly. A theme of Castle's career is to destroy people's pre-conceived notions of what is possible on a violin, which he does every time he takes the stage. A bandleader and solo artist—with several critically acclaimed releases on his own Twisted Fiddle Music label—Geoffrey Castle has also managed to share stages with an illustrious group of musicians including Blues Traveler, all of the original and current members of Heart, Buddy Miles, and Alan White of Yes.

Vinolution 14 Entertainment – Machete
While living in Eastern Washington and working on Red Mountain vineyards, Nick DeNitto produced a couple of eclectic, sophomoric mashup mixtapes in the spring of 2009 with the sole intention of sending them out to some of his friends who lived back East in South Carolina. What started as an innocent little project led to a return trip to Charleston (the place where he got his start DJing), and a spot opening for Ghostland Observatory, the biggest little electronic act from Austin, TX who just happened to be featured on one of the tapes. The next day, he co-founded Electric Friends with longtime friend and collaborator, CMNDer. Deciding to focus on spinning and producing club music, the two invited JeffET to join, and things began to serendipitously fall into place. More acts joined the trio, and EF Records was formed in November 2009. Through creativity and sheer determination, the label forged a ravenous dance scene in Charleston that still can't be stated.

Dusty 45's
Infused by a passion for American roots music in all its varied forms, The Dusty 45s' sound blurs the line between genres to create a style that is, in it's final distillation, entirely fresh and new. Singer/Songwriter, Billy Joe Huels, paints his illustrative and personal stories with a signature '65 Gibson steel string guitar, and combines elements ranging from honky-tonk and swing to pure rock. Enter in Seattle's finest with top-notch vocal harmonies, twangy guitars, upright bass and drums, top it off with Huels' fiery trumpet and The Dusty 45s' unique sound is complete.

Professional, confident, and experienced, The Dusty 45s play to packed houses from coast to coast.

The band has appeared alongside countless other major artists and entertainers, and in 2008, they were also honored to meet Barack Obama and perform for his campaign.
