Post your band and website. I just want to know as I am often asked to recommend local bands for community events like 4th of July, First Night and other seasonal festivals.

I guess the qualification for "local" means at least one of the members lives in Maplewood/South Orange. With that in mind, I'll start with:

The Kludge. 4 of us are from Tuxedo Park. We're not your typical bar band. We focus on classic rock, new wave, punk, and modern rock. We don't play Mustang Sally, and we definitely don't play the Blues. We also write our own songs, which have influences from all of the above.

Wilma and the Wingers, a side project of Wilma from The Kludge, along with whoever else is free that day, and some other local musicians including the guys who play banjo music on Monday nights at the SO train station. They can be seen at both local libraries, schools, etc.

Hi Guys...I saw this thread, and thought, I might as well ask. We always have 2 bands at our fundraiser (this is the 5th year), but this year, Lofi Hifi can't play, so I only have 1 band committed to play. I was wondering if anyone here would want to play. If you are interested, please PM me or write to: megemarlowe@gmail.com, or call: 973-821-5484. I will answer any questions and send you anything you need to prove the legitimacy of this fundraising effort. If you look on past threads, you will see that we have raised thousands of dollars every year through this fundraiser. It's a great time for all (including the bands) and for such a worthy cause (my Mom died from ALS). Here is a link to my ALS page: http://web.alsa.org/goto/megmarlowe1

As I said, I wil follow this up with any other information you need. If you are not interested, I understand...just thought it was worth a shot. Fingers crossed!
