No Spare Time is a bluegrass band from the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. In 2011, Larry Lynch said “Hey….why don’t we start a band?” to Gary Weber, Daniel Caton, Doug Bonny and Wes Parks; after a great jam session where they all just, musically clicked, “No Spare Time” was born…..and truly… no one had any ‘spare time’ to form a bluegrass band, but they did. Time marched on and Doug moved out of state; leaving the lead singer position vacant. In came Gary Bates who brought quite a skill set to No Spare Time, as their new lead singer/rhythm guitarist. As Daniel Caton’s collegiate obligations became more demanding, Mickey Justice, then on occasions, began to fill that fifth band member role. In 2017, Mickey accepted the offer to be a full time member, playing mandolin with additional vocals. Dan still joins the band when he is available; making No Spare Time, in essence, a six piece traditional and contemporary ‘driving’ bluegrass band….taste, tone, timing and punch! Above all…..these guys are the best of friends and would be bonded together even if they didn’t play a single note - and THAT makes their music GREAT.

Neon Swing X-perience Sunday, October 29th • 11-11:45 PM Wild. Wacky. Zany. Fun. That sums up Neon Swing X-perience (NSX) in four simple words. Yet there is more to the story of the “only band bold enough to jump, jive, and rock.” NSX was formed in 1998 by Mike Urick and a rag-tag group of musicians who had a passion for the music of a bygone era. Since its origins, NSX has been relentlessly devoted to updating and preserving vintage American genres such as swing, rockabilly, hot jazz, horn rock, and blues. Described as “swing with sting,” NSX’s style is a raucous modernization of multiple influences all rooted in the big bands of the 1930s and 1940s. The group performs anywhere from a 5-piece ensemble to an 8-piece mini-big band. Every NSX performance is an explosive retro party guaranteed to fill your ears with excitement!
