 Peekaboo Theory- (Houston, TX) For over three years, Peekaboo Theory (consisting of six members: Tony Roopa, Nathan "Twist" Matthews, Jamescayn Whitecloud, Ramon Wakefield, Darian Fleming and F.Y~I.A.A.M.) has been serving up refreshing audible treats, while simultaneously slaughtering any boundaries or stereotypes that try to pigeonhole their passion and label their sound. For Peekaboo Theory, it’s never been about fitting their music into a particular genre. They create music, period. The talent spread amongst the six members of the band is undeniable. The music they create commands respect on it’s own, whether you call it experimental, rock, electronic or whatever. Peekaboo Theory simply calls it their passion. Labels are for jars, so rather than wasting time trying to name their sound, they focus their energy on fulfilling an obvious life’s calling: birthing music from their souls.

As a musician hailing from a city like Houston, which seemingly cranks out new artists by the day, it’s easy to find yourself lumped into the one hit wonder category or simply overlooked and never given the chance to show and prove. True talent and that certain 'je ne sais quoi’ are necessary to gain the love and loyalty of fans and media in a town where everyone claims to be an artist. Though they have only been playing together for a few years, Peekaboo Theory has already received high critical acclaim regionally and, with the recent release of their LP, is poised to tackle the national music scene. They nabbed a coveted spot in the Houston Press’ (a long time advocate and voice for the independent art scene in Houston) weekly showcase reviews and even garnered accolades from the Houston Chronicle, one of the oldest and most regarded newspapers in the Lone Star State. In addition to the media love, Peekaboo Theory has countless live shows at venues and festivals all over the Southern United States under their belt and they’ve been mesmerizing crowds and gaining fans at every turn. |
 MacAdams - (Houston, TX) MacAdams is a progressive rock trio who formed in the fall of 2007. It started in Robyn and Perry MacAdams' bedroom over 15 years ago. Off and on, this team of brothers and friends have been duking it out sonically ever since. Robyn MacAdams began his songwriting as a guitarist in earnest when he was a young teenager and soon moved his focus into the study of music theory and performance. After completing all of the theory courses at the University of Houston, he continued to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Perry MacAdams completed all the music theory courses at the University of North Texas as a percussion major focusing on drumset, while studying afro-cuban and jazz percussion. Their scholastic studies came to fruition when they reunited back in Houston. The real knowledge obtained through their respective studies was a sense of direction and purpose behind the songwriting. And a bassist would need to round them out. Enter Jake.
Jake Bramwell has been playing in bands based in the Austin and Houston music scene for over 15 years. From the beginning, it was apparent that there was a synergy between Jake and the MacAdams brothers that transcended musical training. Having melting together Robyn's creative riffs, lyrics and melodies, Perry's intense drumming, and Jake's blend of the brothers' sometimes opposing musical views, the band was formed.
The power-trio performed their first show as MacAdams in December of 2007. With fans associating their sound to the likes of Rush, Phish, and Yes, they were invited to play the Rock The Bayou music festival in Houston, in the summer of 2008. MacAdams has had the pleasure and fortune to work with Dan Workman of Sugar Hill Studios and, together, Dan and MacAdams have produced the band's debut album 'Two Worlds,' a full-length offering of true progressive rock.
