Few New England country acts have had such explosive success as the Country Mile Band (CMB). Their music has been called a "kicking" kind of country. From their foot stomping covers to their original music they will keep you dancing for sure. CMB has gained a solid reputation as New England’s premier country music, dance, party and show band. If you look at the band’s experience it’s no surprise. The members of the CMB are no strangers to the performing world, with over 75 years combined experience. This includes from playing in symphony orchestras to one man traveling bands. The chemistry that has evolved from these five guys coming together is amazing!

ENTRAIN is epic in sound and kaleidoscopic in vision - the eclectic Martha’s Vineyard-based six-piece band has been thrilling critics and fans alike since its inception. But Entrain’s goal is not just to be the biggest and the best: We wanna create music that makes people feel good. When we look out from the stage, all we see is smiling faces and bodies moving. You can’t beat that feeling. At the same time, if we can help to make people cool again...great! There’s enough negativity in the world, let’s spread a little joy around and watch how infectious it can be.
