Antigone Rising – Antigone Rising was catapulted into the spotlight in 2005 with their Hear Music/Lava Records debut release – “From the Ground Up.” A line-up shift in 2008 led to a brief hiatus, but after a few months on the sidelines, drummer Dena Tauriello & The Henderson sisters made the decision to keep moving forward with new member Nini Camps on lead vocals. Known for their driving and vivacious live show, Antigone Rising has toured with The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, The Allman Brothers Band, The Dave Matthews Band, Rob Thomas, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Lucinda Williams and The Bangles amongst others. Since their inception the band has released 4 independent albums. In 2004, they were signed to Lava Records, leading to a partnership with Starbucks. With the release of their album, “From The Ground Up,” Antigone Rising became the first band in Starbucks’ “Hear Music Debut” series. VH1 aired a half-hour special featuring the band and both VH-1 & CMT also embraced them by playing the video of their single, “Don’t Look Back” on heavy rotation. The band has also appeared on The Today Show, The Tonight Show, Emeril Live, A&E’s Breakfast with the Arts & several VH-1 programs including “I Love the 70s” & “I Love the 80s” episodes.
