The Buddy McEarns Band builds a sound deeply rooted in the traditions of yesteryear with a twist of modernization.

These cats are probably more classic rock than pure indie rock, but whatever we liked it and we want it on this list. The blues rock style here is infectiously enjoyable. It makes you want a stiff drink. The easy comparison is someone like the Allman Brothers Band and we’re glad to hear someone is keeping this musical tradition alive.

"We play some original songs and some covers," the dapper young man told the Hinge crowd, "and we do a few traditional songs, too." Therein lies the mix, but the narrative description can't do justice to the treatment that all these songs get. Imagine an olde-west swang thang electrified and brought forward in time so that the end result would be both new and nostalgic, garage-y loose and respectful of tradition, all at the same time. The guy's style is unique, engaging, and interesting- surely a good fit for the Hinge. Tom Sawyer's bass and Jeff Turcotte's drums fill the place well while they complement the material. Backing vocals from behind the drum kit catch the listener's notice in particular, especially considering that Jeff's drumming can be heard all around the area- but his singing, well... more might be a good thing! ~Jimm O'D
