Welcome to Hoonah:
Winner of FloydFest 2015's "BAND ON FIRE" competition, Welcome To Hoonah is a fusion of current folk, Americana and indie music, 60's rock and country, with definitive front porch flavor and a touch of urban verve. The songwriting and vocal team, Spencer McKenna and Jessica Larsen, have eclectic musical tastes that are reflected in the variety of their originals and choice of accompanying musicians. Best described as "indie-country rock", Welcome to Hoonah's songs are earnest and cover the experiential span, from hopeful to lovelorn, sweet lazy days and long wild nights; their writing and instrumentation dare you not to dance and hum along. Driven by the solid rhythm of drummer Leonard, peppy percussion of Larsen and lowdown bass of Chris Eanes, McKenna, soulful guitarist and lead singer, Robby Carden, stellar harmonica player, and Alex Faught, tremendous banjo picker, are given plenty of room to shine instrumentally.

Ghost Eagle:
Ghost Eagle is a high energy, Appalachian rooted trio consisting of drums, telecaster and filthy, amplified harmonica. Front man Spencer Mckenna has been at the helm of several east coast touring bands (GrassMonkey and Welcome to Hoonah) and brings his authentic southern character to full light in this stripped down incarnation. Playing without a bassist has allowed the opportunity for the role of soloist to be shared with amplified harmonica player, Robby Carden. Robby has preformed multiple times with such acts as Dangermuffin, Yarn, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, the Peoples Blues of Richmond, Larry and his Flask and many more. Drummer, John Trent brings his Latin and punk rock backbone to keep energy at its peak. Although soft spoken gentleman offstage, live performances offer the opportunity to exhale the daily struggle and invoke the moonshine infused, front porch party that we have all come to embrace.
