ROAD TO VEGAS 2: PORT NOCTURNAL vs VIBE RATIONS vs THE RURALISTS
PORT NOCTURNAL
Port Nocturnal was started September 2015 in Sioux City, Iowa by Zach Pickens (guitar), Seth Wozny (vox), Grace Claeys (drums), Spencer Aspleaf (guitar) and Alex Emery (Bass) later resigned and was replaced by Layne Medema. The band's sound can be described as a postmodern Midwestern Desert Rock, with elements of Blues, Psychedelic, Progressive/Art Rock and improvisational music ala jazz informing their grooves and timbres. As a unit sincerely dedicated to the power of the groove and making high quality music, with the first album coming mid 2016, they are bound to end up on quite a roll making ever the more buttery jams for audiences.
VIBE RATIONS
Vibe Rations is a fresh blend of hip hop, soul, and funk with a jagged edge. We're home grown from Sioux City, and established in July 2016. Rapping and singing is Jordan Clark. Joe Fry is the beat master on drums. Jewel "Juice" Williams holds down bass grooves. Nick Powell is on the ivories. Jacob ThunderChief Henry plays guitar.
THE RURALISTS
Out of the cornfields of Northwest Iowa we took the best available options and applied Dave Kramer's ruralist philosophy and glued it all together and got this. And it's amazing.
Vocals, Guitar / Luke Hawley

Electric Guitar / Laremy De Vries
