Entirely DIY and fiercely independent, Widely Grown has toured across more than 15 states over the past two years, stealing building a loyal following from the ground up. Their momentum continues to rise, with performances at increasingly notable venues and a standout appearance as an "on the rise" artist at the nationally renowned Floydfest.

The Outcrops
The Outcrops were named "NJ Band of the Year" ('The Aquarian, 2020) for "three reasons: a work ethic that makes them one of the Dirty Jerz’s hardest-working bands, guitar-playing that fuses the sounds of Duane Allman and Jerry Garcia, and a refreshing fusion of roots, soul, blues, funk, and psychedelic rock that sounds wholly new while comfortably familiar."
They have dug their roots into the music of rock'n'roll, blues, jazz, funk, folk, and soul legends, choosing B-side tunes to put their own spin on. Within their show, they may pay homage to bands such as the Grateful Dead & the Band, or artists such as BB King & Aretha Franklin. Their original music stems from that same soulful soil, ranging from gritty blues to upbeat Americana.
