Other Projects
Small Hours
Small Hours is a lively acoustic tribute to swing era greats such as Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. Vocalist Margot Jezerc, mandolinist Bryce Rabideau, and upright bassist Jason Rafalak use their unconventional instrumentation to breathe new life into beloved songs and celebrate a century of American improvised music. The result is a technically tight, sonically inventive trio with a singular sound. Currently, Small Hours performs regularly in Pittsburgh and is preparing to release a full-length record this fall.
Turkeyfoot
Turkeyfoot is a bluegrass duo based in Pittsburgh PA consisting of Bryce Rabideau (mandolin, fiddle, vocals) and Shane McLaughlin (guitar, vocals). Their joyous harmonies and virtuosic playing carry them through a diverse songbook that ranges from classics by the Stanley Brothers and Doc Watson through the bluegrass music of today. Drawing on their childhood experiences in the Blue Ridge Mountains and greater Boston area, McLaughlin and Rabideau seek to honor the rich history of string band music through a modern lens.
Codejoy
Codejoy LLC is a Pittsburgh-based company that teaches elements of coding and robotics to kids through live, interactive programming. Since 2020, Bryce has served as their musical director. He has scored 11 episodes of their children’s show and recorded all of the music used in professional development sessions and YouTube content.
