Marble Eyes is a fresh new band that has formed amidst the pandemic. The band is a collection of national artists which include Eric Gould from Pink Talking Fish and Adrian Tramontano from Kung Fu. Based in Portsmouth NH, the group has made an impact during this challenging year with its soulful sound and brought joy to people across the country by creating brand new inspirational music.

In 2021, Marble Eyes is teaming up with Nugs.net to present a LIVESTREAM SERIES called “Marble Eyes Mondays”. Starting on January 4th, the band will perform a BRAND NEW LIVE CONCERT every other Monday at 8PM ET. These shows will be hosted at The Press Room in Portsmouth NH. The concerts will be aired on Nugs.tv as well as the Nugs.net Facebook and YouTube pages. This will be an ongoing series through April.

This is a different kind of winter with there being no live music in most parts of the country. Marble Eyes is giving music lovers an opportunity to get to know a new band during this season. There will be unique production added to the shows each month and, along with the existing collection of fresh material, the band will be introducing at least one song debut during each show.

You can learn more about Marble Eyes on their Facebook Page where the band is presenting a daily series called “Behind The Eyes”. Each day, one of their original songs is posted with a story about the writing process and a quote from one of the band members. Facebook Link

Pink Talking Fish, known for their unique fusion of Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, and Phish, has a reputation for creating unforgettable experiences. This summer, the band took their creative vision to new heights with a performance that pushed the boundaries of their concept. On July 13th, in the midst of their summer tour, PTF headlined the Dead Of Summer Music Festival in Manchester, VT, as "Pink Talking Fish Ensemble," delivering one of their boldest performances to date.

The PTF Ensemble transformed into a 12-piece band for the occasion, presenting a complete rendition of the Grateful Dead's iconic album "Terrapin Station," ingeniously woven into Phish’s classic “Divided Sky.” The core members of Pink Talking Fish—Eric Gould on bass, Cal Kehoe on guitar, Zack Burwick on drums, and Steve Learson on keyboards—were joined by a stellar lineup of musicians, including:

  • Adrian Tramontano (Twiddle/Kung Fu) on second drums/percussion
  • Sammi Garett (Remain In Light/Cool Cool Cool) on vocals/percussion
  • Joe Agnello (Dead Set/Swimmer) on guitar/vocals
  • The Wolfpack: a five-piece string and brass section featuring:
    • Alex Kelly - Cello
    • Mads Tolling - Violin
    • Adam Theis - Trombone
    • Brian Switzer - Trumpet
    • Sheldon Brown - Tenor Sax/Flute
