5 Cent Coffee  
5 Cent Coffee
5 Cent Coffee is an eclectic trio dedicated to organic old fashioned sound; an amalgamation of a by-gone nation, mixed with the fresh scent of a smile or the wail of a lament. Ukulele driven original material with stand up bass and melodeon - throw in a washboard, a kazoo - some junk - an old shoe, wear a grumpy hat, cry a tear or two, and you're there by the side of an old dusty highway...

Kid Beyond  
Kid Beyond
Singer. Beatboxer. Songwriter. Live looper. One-man vocal band. Kid Beyond loops and multitracks his voice onstage to create his own live backing tracks – layering his impassioned lyrics over his own beatboxing and vocal instrumentation. The result is a riveting, soulful brew of pop electronica. What takes most people an entire band to produce, Kid Beyond executes with his own mouth. You're in the presence of a higher power... you want to get up and dance." – SF Weekly, Best of SF
