The Stellanovas
Our vintage jazz ensemble — we call it "cafe jazz."
Bob
Westfall
Chris and Mary have been playing with Bob for years and the
BWB can be heard every Tuesday night at the Angelic Brewing
Company in Madison, Wisconsin.
Gaines
and Wagoner
When the Stellanovas are resized to only include Chris and
Mary (plus many instruments, of course) they become "Gaines
and Wagoner."
The Moongypsies
The Moon Gypsies is a four-piece Americana/roots-rock/folk-pop
group from Madison, Wisconsin, and was co-founded by Chris
and Mary along with singer-songwriter Robert J.
The Madwaukee Stompers
Our new trio with Colin O'Brien combining whimsical tin pan
alley jazz, celtic romps, and singalongs.

gaines@mhtc.net
This is Mary’s dad’s site! Don Gaines
actually re-invented the wheel (and they said it
couldn’t be done!). It’s simply called
the “Gaines Heavy-Duty Bass Wheel”, and
it is a pneumatic tire/wheel assembly that fits
into the end-pin hole of upright acoustic basses
so their owners can comfortably roll them across
the lower East Side, on and off the subway, or just
from the parking lot to the gig. Don (and sometimes
we when he can snag us) assembles the wheels in
his basement workshop, and they retail at several
prominent music stores and bass shops from NYC to
LA. Even if you don’t own a bass, or even play
bass, you know that you want one.
Mike Massey

info@wmassey.com
Mike Massey is the genius composer behind much of
the commercial ad work we've done. In addition to
being a very experienced songwriter, he's also an
extremely talented keyboard player and singer.
Andrew
Bird’s “Bowl of Fire”
Andrew Bird used to play with The Squirrel
Nut Zippers and is one of our favorite new bands.
It’s sort of The Beatles meet Tom Waits in
the Mississippi Delta, but playing jazz and blues
on the fiddle……in a French Café…...in
an old classic movie…….with sub-titles.
Hearing is believing.
Astor Piazzolla
The late-great Argentinian composer of Tango—his
music is primal and beautiful. And, by the way,
he was also one of the greatest bandoneon (large
button accordion) players in the world.
Matthew
Probst
Matthew is an old friend of ours who plays cello
in a very unique way—and has this very cool
website to tell you about it.
Big Al and the
Heavyweights
This is cousin Tim’s band. They’re an
award-winning rootsy blues band with one foot on
the Mississippi delta and the other one firmly planted
in New Orleans.
Oak
Tree Antiques and Vintage Collectibles
From vintage microphones and musical gear to lamp-shades…say
no more.
