infectious guitar hooks.

blues with a solid rock and roll center. The exact
quality of music you would expect from three boys
who grew up between Chicago and Detroit. A must
see live show with a very approachable recorded
sound. It’s music you can trust and believe in.

personal stories.

Paul Rice
Paul Rice is a songwriter from Naperville, Illinois.
Since graduating from Hope College in 2011, he
has been playing heartfelt, humble tunes at the
Farmers Market and Street Performer Series,
both solo and with his band, Bear Hug. His
material draws from old time mountain music,
recent indie rock, and everything in between.
Randy Schaap
Randy Schaap began playing harmonica in the
1980’s while playing bass with a gospel music
group in the tri-state area. His unique blues style
was shaped by artists such as Buddy Greene,
Charlie McCoy, and the music of blues legend
Little Walter. Currently, Randy plays in many
different venues, local recording studios, and the
Downtown Holland Street Performer Series.
Sam Kenny
Sam Kenny is a musician from Grand Rapids.
He bought a guitar in 1998 to learn and play
Bob Dylan songs for himself in his dorm room at
Illinois Wesleyan University. In 2000 he played
his own songs in front of others for the first time
at an open mic in Austin, Texas. This did not go
very well, and he was traumatized. He did not
play in front of others again until 2003 when
he started the rock band Fancy Thermos with
his brother, Billy. Sam plays shows of his own
songs and also cover shows where he plays his
favorites (and hopefully yours too).
