Our Sunday Jazz Brunch Workshop is a magical, musical phenomenon
that everyone should experience. The host trio of Burgess,
Stetz, and James (featuring the notable talents of pianist &

kinds to join in the musical adventure. Live and inspirational,
you'll watch, listen and smile as songs take shape and evolve in
an unrehearsed performance ... a real workshop to hone skills
and express musical vision. Many guest musicians & vocalists are
always on-hand to "sit in" as soloists or to be called upon to
create a whole new trio, quartet or larger ensemble, too. It's
a ritual that you'll want to be part of every Sunday! Because of

Mike Brown 8-11PM 2
NIGHTS!
A very special
two-night residence with one our favorite artists!
The great American road trip is alive and kicking in
Grammy Nominee Mike Brown’s songs. All the mysterious,
enchanting back roads that all us romantics sit around
daydreaming about come alive on American Hotel. Listening to the
album, you can tell Mike’s logged lots of windshield time, that
he’s stopped in plenty of small town cafes to break bread with
the type of familiar all-American characters we road warriors
know so well. They’re what have given Mike’s project legs and
taught it to run like no other. |

Keith Kenny 9PM-MID
Fresh off a recent tour with The Dean Ween Group!!
If the audience at a Keith Kenny show were to close their
eyes for the performance they would swear that there was a full
band on stage. Kenny's fans, however, are too busy dancing to
the one-man act's layered guitar riffs, foot stomping
percussion, blues harp and emotionally charged vocals to even
think about looking away. His new LIVE album captures the true
essence of his “one man band” performances spanning genres from
gritty rock and roll to electrified folk and blues. The New
Jersey native is able to emulate the sound of a full rock band
with his percussive fingerstyle approach to the acoustic guitar
and an array of effects pedals. Kenny even customized a vintage
red suitcase to use as a kick drum which has appeared with him
on stage for nearly a decade of live performances. His debut
appearances at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park paved the way for
Kenny’s developing one-man band show and led him into the
national touring circuit and beyond. During his most recent “Big
Red Suitcase Tour” Kenny performed in over 50 U.S. cities from
coast to coast and was invited to headline a series of benefit
concerts in SE Asia. In recent years he has shared the stage
with the likes of Keller Williams, Leon Russell, John Hammond
Jr., New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Zen Tricksters, and John
Kadlecik (Further & Dark Star Orchestra). |

Friday, May 11
Lumpy Gravy 9PM-MID
Like thunder dancing on legs of lightning. Williamsport's very
own original jam band, Lumpy Gravy, was formed when Owen
MacDonald and Brett Kahn (former members of Kind-a-Mind) began
jamming with Mike & John Snyder. Doug McMinn, who played with
MacDonald in the well-known George Wesley Band, signed on in the
spring of 1998 (along with percussionist Ken Damilio). Now,
three drummers and three bass players later, Gravy has a new
lease on life. MacDonald (guitar, vocals) and McMinn (sax,
guitar, vocals) are joined by Joel B Vincent (Blind Chitlin
Kahunas) on drums and Jimmy Lovcik (Strawberry Jam, Jack's Farm)
on bass in the refurbished and riveting lineup. Vincent's fluid,
tasteful style and Lovcik's rock-solid, imaginative bass work
keep the famous Gravy groove percolating at peak efficiency.
"Mango", the band's 2002 release, was extremely well-received,
and their follow-up album "GRASShopper" truly showcased the
band's creative style. Lumpy Gravy is ready to head back into
the studio again soon to begin work on a highly anticipated
third album ... although lately the band has toyed with the idea
of recording a live album. Time will tell! |

Saturday, May 12 Chris Rattie & The
New Rebels 9PM-MID
Rising Americana/Roots Rock artist Chris Rattie and his band,
The New Rebels, have announced that their sophomore album
‘Porch’ will be released September 15. Critics have described
Chris’ debut record as “...full of idiosyncratic melodies and
catchy, unexpected hooks” and have drawn comparisons of his
sound with Ryan Adams, Steve Earle, Dire Straits, and White
Album era Beatles. His latest album builds on the first album
with Chris finding clarity in his themes and assuredness in his
musical arrangements. This new collection of songs on 'Porch'
illuminates the process of finding one's self, finding one's
place, and finding love. ‘Porch,’ recorded in an isolated studio
in the hills of Central Pennsylvania, was produced and
engineered by Chris with his long time collaborators Forrest
Schwartz and Jason “Junior” Tutwiler. ‘Porch’ falls into the
Americana/Roots Rock genre with a healthy dose of “Songwriter’s
songs” and well as early 70’s rock. |

Monday, May 14
Mystery Trayne 8-11PM
Acoustic trio Mystery Trayne is a harmonious gumbo of Delta
blues, twang, and swing. Two of the members, Jay "Bone" Short
and Cheryl "Miz Ida" Miller have been fixtures in the area blues
seen for decades. They have lived it and played it and share a
rich history of making music together since the early days of
the the burgeoning Billtown blues scene. They are joined by Jack
"J.C." Reed, a Liberty-based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter,
and recording engineer. With a lot of road miles under his belt
by traveling with various show bands, you will find Jack perched
behind his upright bass or guitar adding just the right amount
of harmony to Cheryl's smooth-as-butter voice and Jay's soulful
vocals and blues-driven guitar style. |

Reinhardt. Typically known as "Gypsy Jazz", the music is light,
bouncy, and perfect for weddings, bar mitzvahs, dinners,
brunches, office and garden parties, or just drinks around a
campfire with friends. Jetset won't transform your next event

closer. Every Wednesday evening we offer up free, live jazz
while you dine and drink with us here at the Bullfrog. From solo
pianists to unique duos & trios to hot quartets, we've always

Kates & Danny Shanahan 9PM-MID
DUO SHOW!
Alex Kates, a native of Jamestown, NY, has traveled the country
from coast to coast with his music for over two decades. Having
mainly played solo as a singer-songwriter, Alex developed "The
Alex Kates Band" and the cover-oriented "Kates Brothers Band"
(both with his brother Billy Kates on drums), sharing the stage
with Rusted Root, The Royal Southern Brotherhood, and The Spin
Doctors, to name a few. In his new project, Alex has joined
forces in a rootsy & blues-laden band called "The Kates Brothers
Band." Billy Kates joins Alex on drums as a powerful driving
force that infuses dance into rock. Dan "The Man" Shanahan
brings decades of experienced harmonica playing that leaves the
listener smiling. To round off and complete the sound, Brett
Maybee brings his jam-rock bass playing to the table. Put all
these guys together and you have "The Kates Brothers Band" from
Jamestown, NY. If you like the blues, roots, and rock ... and
like to dance ... then this just what the doctor ordered. |

Balkun Brothers 9PM-MID
Brewed in a caldron of
face-melting guitar riffs that are met with a wall of earth
quaking bass drum hits, their ferocious flaming meteor of a duo,
breeds a ruthless rebellion of what it is to be a rock n’ roll
band in 2018. Known for their explosive live shows that go from
0 to 100 in the blink of an eye, the brothers from Hartford grew
up studying the likes of Son House, Johnny Winter, Howlin’ Wolf
and Muddy Waters, then smashing those together with the likes of
Motorhead, Primus, Rage Against the Machine, The Doors, Motley
Crue and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In a day and age where the
world is in dire need of true rock n’ roll, the Balkun Brothers
are bringing the people what they want: hard-nosed, dirty,
mammoth sounds that have been invading the ear-holes of fans
from coast to coast across the globe and changing lives one head
bang at a time. Balkun Brothers takes the White Stripes and the
Black Keys and flips them upside down with a musical range that
spans into hip hop and funk fusion without missing a beat.
Audiences are left speechless at live shows that serve up
smashed guitars, dinosaur-like power and lyrical content that is
more relevant in today’s society than ever before. The duo plans
to tour relentlessly until they die and will continue to create
organic, honest music while the planet still exists in our
reality as we see it now. Although, there is no telling what the
future holds, one thing is for certain … rock n’ roll lives on. |

Flux Capacitor 9PM-MID
$5
Emerging from the Pennsylvania music scene, from the outskirts
of the City of Brotherly Love, is the phenom band known as Flux
Capacitor. Their fiery, distinct sound has catapulted the group
with lightning speed into the National Music Scene. This band of
brothers consistently inspire and evoke a new and wildly
addicting sound resonating with elements of rock, improvisation
and electronica. They redefine musicality with positive
prophetic vocals, complex guitar work, innovative
keys/synths/bass stylings, with feverish syncopated drum
rhythms. Flux Capacitor concerts are filled with improvisation,
musical segues, spontaneous covers, and teases creating a
unique, one of a kind experience at every performance. The
essence of the brothers music is fueled by their dedicated
practice of meditation and lucid dreaming which keeps them
fueled by a higher power. Their electric vibe transcends the
stage and extends into the crowd creating a magical musical
ambience. |

Bjorn
& Francois 9PM-MID
The duo, consisting of Bjorn Jacobsen on guitar & vocals and

the same night. Needless to say, the two saw a potential that
they were longing to find in many other previous cities and
bands. Catch them touring the east coast or around their present
home town, Winston Salem, NC. Their influences include Jerry
