Fuzzstration
Hosts of the Fuzzy Pig Festival! A DIY fest started on drummer Ryan’s property in beautiful Crawford County, Indiana! Fuzzstration is a “modern classic rock band” formed in 2018 by Eric Rhodes, Matt Seelye & Ryan Smith. With shared musical influences between the 3 members, they have been able to chisel out their own unique sound. Unbound by a formula or cookie cutter writing, they have written captivating music and put on an electrifying live show! From Swarptober, Moonshadow Fest, Willystock, Mellwood Mayhem, Equinox/Solstice festival’s, Zanzabar (and more TBA) they are on a mission to spread the good word of Rock and Roll! Fuzzstration released their debut album on 4.20.2025 titled …Like camping? The 1 hour journey proves better than any bio that could ever be written. As the Fuzzy boys are going on 8 years as a band, they consider this only the beginning!
Todd Rhodes Tribute: The Herb Crew (THC)
Todd Rhodes; father to Eric Rhodes of Fuzzstration, was a vital part in the formation of Fuzzstration and the Fuzzy Pig Festival. Without Todd, none of this would have come to fruition. Todd was a stellar singer/songwriter from the Kentuckiana scene. He was a husband, father and one of the nicest fellas you’d ever meet. He had a deep passion for live, local music. Every week he would call all the bars/venues around and release his “who’s playing where?” post on his social media page. You would catch him out at multiple gigs each weekend taking pictures, talking to everyone and supporting local music. Todd kicked off the first 3 Fuzzy Pigs, unfortunately he passed away before Fuzzy #4 where he was going to have a backing band and put on a showcase of epic music he had written! Legends never die. With respect to Eric and his family, we decided to proceed with the idea. In honor of Todd, his music and what he represented.. we’ve decided to do a tribute set of his music every year of the festival. Fronted by his son Eric Rhodes and support from The Herb Crew. Thank you Todd, we love and miss you!
Mr. Please
There’s a duality at the heart of Mr. Please: a band driven by a shared love for both the power of a great song and the magic of live improvisation.
Drawing on a wide range of influences, the group weaves a sonic tapestry that defies easy categorization. Blending their funk and indie rock foundation with sounds from across the world and back again to those of their native Kentucky, their innovative songwriting and dynamic performance have earned them spots at Summer Camp and Backwoods Music Festivals, along with opening slots for acts like SunSquabi and Dizgo.

Blazoner
Band BLAZONER is a heavy rock power trio from Fredericksburg, Virginia, built on the belief that loud music should feel both massive and melodic. The band leans into thick, saturated riffs, driving rhythms, and vocal harmonies that hit as hard as the instruments behind them. Their sound blends the grit of stoner rock, the pulse of classic heavy rock, and the swirling textures of psychedelia, creating a style that feels raw, hook driven, and unmistakably their own.
Formed by Andy Murray, Brian Carnes, and Stephen Sullivan, BLAZONER is powered by the natural chemistry the three share when they play together. Every member sings, which gives the band a vocal identity rarely found in heavy music. Whether delivering gritty leads or layered harmonies, the voices of all three members work together to add color and emotion to the band’s thick wall of sound. The result is a blend of heaviness and melody that stands out both live and on record.
BLAZONER came out of the gate with a commitment to playing hard, writing often, and letting instinct lead the way. Since releasing their first music in 2023, the band has grown quickly through high energy performances that showcase their volume, intensity, and connection as performers. Crowds respond not only to the weight of the riffs and the immediacy of the songs, but also to the sense that the band is having as much fun onstage as anyone in the room.
Their music reflects a wide range of influences, yet everything is filtered through the same core approach. Play loud, play with purpose, and make songs that feel alive. Whether crafting originals or reimagining the tracks that shaped them, BLAZONER focuses on movement, emotion, and the thrill of a great groove hitting at full power.
BLAZONER continues to evolve as they write, record, and perform, always pushing toward a heavier, tighter, more expressive version of their sound. For the band, heavy music is more than a style. It is energy, teamwork, and a constant exploration of what three people can create when they trust every instinct and hold nothing back.io here…..

With a wild way of living and a one of a kind guitar style.. folks might not realize the force to be reckoned with Matthew Devin Seelye. Attention to detail, “noises” and dialing in a mix to the exact detail.. we will finally get a glimpse into what’s going on in there. I’ve been fortunate enough to experience Summer Court in the early stages; but as this behemoth of Matt’s creation evolves, one shall not know what to expect, except pure intricate, trippy, and excellence in execution of songwriting, lyrical work and musicianship. Summer Court is plotted to abduct and show you the outer realms of where your mind has never ventured.
