The New Deal is a "livetronica" trio from Toronto. Consisting of members Darren Shearer (drums), bass guitarist Dan Kurtz (also of Dragonette), and Jamie Shields (keyboards), the trio has been around since an impromptu jam in 1998. Playing at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Langerado, headlining over 400 shows in the last 4 years, and opening for legends such as Herbie Hancock, the New Deal blends drum n bass, house, and other brands of electronica for a sound uniquely their own. You can sample past live shows at their audio archive here.
Toubab Krewe has been blending American and African influences to create their own sound since 2005. The Asheville natives have toured the world, including shows at Bonnaroo and the Festival of the Desert in Essakane, Mali, bringing their unique sound to the masses. Members Teal Brown (drums), Drew Heller (electric guitar and soku), Justin Perkins (kora, kamelengoni, and electric guitar), David Pransky (bass), and Luke Quaranta (percussion) will be performing at the Valarium tonite before continuing an extensive Southern tour. If you can't make it tonite, don't worry because the boys will be back around finishing their tour in Asheville just in time for the new year.
