Ten Mile Tide is five-piece independent band from San Francisco that describes their sound as feel-good acoustic rock, foot-stomping folk, and beer-drenched bluegrass. The band was formed in 1999 by twin brothers Jason Munning (lead electric guitar, vocals) and Justin Munning (rhythm acoustic guitar, vocals), who share lead vocal duties and harmonies on the album. The band is filled out by Steve Kessler (fiddle), Jeff Clemetson (bass), and John Morales (drums). In April of 2005, Ten Mile Tide was selected as the New Groove of the Month by Jambands.com.
In the summer of 2004, Ten Mile Tide was selected as one of 10 finalists in Relix magazine’s Jamoff competition out of a pool of over 200 unsigned bands. The band was featured in the June issue of the magazine and included on a promotional Relix compilation CD which was distributed at major summer 2004 festivals. The band has also received national and international media attention including CNN, the Denver Post, the Contra Costa Times, Canadian Broadcasting Channel, San Francisco Magazine, Stanford Magazine, and independent and college newspapers and radio across the country for its successes as an independent band. With Ten Mile Tide’s consent, users of file-sharing programs have downloaded more than 10 million Ten Mile Tide songs worldwide. The band's growing Street Team now consists of more than 350 members in 45 U.S. States and 10 countries. Fueled by the grass-roots support of their fans, the band has been touring nationally full-time for over a year. In December, 2003, Ten Mile Tide released their second album, "Midnight Is Early". Recorded in August and September 2003 with producer Jack Gauthier (Dispatch, Pete Francis), the album features 11 original songs.
