Singer, songwriter, and sound shaper Dominic Lavoie creates multi-hued pop rock that sits squarely in 2025 and hints at a millennial take on classic rock. Lavoie blends heartfelt lyrics with rich, textured soundscapes that linger long after the last note. He has shared the stage with renowned acts including Los Lobos, Dr. Dog, Guster, Mikaela Davis, Rayland Baxter, and Ghost of Paul Revere.
With an impressive catalog that includes seven full-length albums, two EPs, and his self- directed music film, Mariposa, Lavoie continues to push creative boundaries. His latest album, Round Trip, reunites him with Grammy-winning producer Steve Berlin (Los Lobos, Deer Tick), who also helmed Lavoie's 2020 album, Wave With A Broken Arm.
Lavoie's skills extend beyond recording and performing. He runs his aptly titled studio Shabbey Load, in Portland, Maine where he produces and collaborates with other artists.
Lavoie is an accomplished songwriter. His songs are published by Garry Velletri at Gilda Music and he teaches songwriting at the Maine College of Art and Design.
Roy Davis has spent 15 years honing his craft across genres and continents, distilling those experiences into something entirely new. After releasing five albums and touring Europe, Davis has assembled his dream team of collaborators for his most ambitious project yet. Recorded in an 1815 barn-turned-studio in Maine, Sunset Guppy’s debut album “The Great Diversion” (releasing March 18th, 2025) marries Davis’s folk and Americana roots with soul and R&B influences. The recording captures an organic warmth through its blend of pedal steel, mandolin, vintage keyboards, and soulful backing vocals, while Davis’s lyrics are sharp, playful and profound. “The Great Diversion” explores human nature and finding ground in uncertain times, though the project maintains a sense of humor about itself. Sunset Guppy represents the culmination of Davis’s musical journey – a collective of assembled virtuosic eccentrics bringing fresh energy to his songwriting. Together they’ve created an album that finds light in the darkness and humor in hardship, an experimental modern spin on American roots music.
