SMALL TOWN first embarked on their musical voyage of discovery together as a tight-knit Musical Group in 2019. The members of the band grew up listening to a variety of musical genres that played an influential role in shaping their paths as musicians and ultimately led them to join forces and create SMALL TOWN! The goal of the band was to create and replicate the live Mellencamp concerts utilizing all of the same instumentation!
Small Town has collectively created the signature Mellencamp sound with Jen Cimbala on Fiddle, Bob Heckler on Accordion, keyboards, and melodica, Jim Croke on electric guitar, acoustic guitar and Mandolin. Chris Sulcer joins in on guitar and vocals and Lous Sameniego brings the deep tones on Bass guitar while Shane Sameniego keeps the Kenny Arronoff beat on drums. Doug Clapp leads the night full of #1 hits and sing alongs on vocals! .

Michael McDermott’s brand of rock n’ roll brims with the kind of wellhoned style and wisdom that can only come from a career on the road and a pedigree in the studio. Effortlessly blending natural folk sensibility, pop hooks, and honest rock, McDermott’s music is as much for the outcast as the congregation. It’s an exploration of the dark corners of life’s journey and it resonates middle class truths through the passionate filter of a kid that grew up on Chicago’s Irish South Side.
If you are a fan of Springsteen, Van Morrison, John Steinbeck, Patti Smith … McDermott’s inspirational rock is in your wheelhouse, waiting late night with a guitar, spare smokes and stories of the American heart.
