About Jonny Hoy and The Bluefish: Formed in 1991, the band has evolved through many incarnations, three Tone Cool and two self-produced CDs, trips around the world as far as South Africa and mostly the joys of playing a lot of music on Martha's Vineyard where most of them live. The band started out as a four-piece with no piano, became a five-piece for several years, and then returned to a four-piece configuration, this time with no bass, and it's been that way for over 10 years. johnny hoy juggles a full life where he takes advantage of his many skills including stone masonry, fishing, antique dealing, farming. Somehow he manages to do all the gigs as well. He came to the Island in 1978, after soaking up Muddy Waters’ and Tom Waits’ shows as a teenager. jeremy berlin, the piano player, has been with the band for most of its life — since the summer of '93. He's played duets with President Clinton, and Carly Simon — he's not afraid of anything, and he plays it all. Jeremy's connection with the Island started before he was born and he's been there on and off ever since. delanie pickering, guitarist, showed up on the Island in 2017 from New Hampshire. She didn’t tell anyone she played music, and quietly checked out the scene until she was ready. Then it was all over: everyone wanted her, and The Bluefish have her! Audiences love her, and her energy has given a new life to the band. And she sings! Rounding out the band is drummer Kevin Medeiros from New Bedford. He listened to the Bluefish for years before it was his turn, and his solid beat gets better and better. He grew up in New Bedford and he and Delanie give the band new blood! About Funktapuss: What started as Purple Monkey Dishwasher in the late 90’s with the friendship of three young men has evolved into the energetic, high quality music of a five piece band known as Funktapuss. As a live act, they bring a dynamic energy to the stage which is enhanced by a complete and full sound with a huge emphasis on the ‘groove.’ With a 2+ hour live set and a repertoire of over 80 songs, the music of Funktapuss comprises original tunes and influences from such artists as Stevie Wonder, Parliament Funkadelic, Soulive, Maceo Parker, and Victor Wooten. Funktapuss has entertained crowds of over 2000 at many of Cape Cod’s top venues and prides itself on being tight with a massive groove that will fill a dance floor. “Rare and hard to come by…but when such talent finds its way together under the same roof, consider yourself lucky to be at the right place at the right time.” Laddie Durham, owner of Harry’s Cajun Bar & Grill, Hyannis, MA. **COVID protocols currently in place are below.*** ***ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
