 Patrice Pike
Rolling Stone Magazine called her "Tina Turner, Bessie Smith, Janis Joplin, and Robert Plant all rolled up into a tiny but explosive package."
She's much more than one of the most dynamic live performers in the world, she's an artist of substance with a compelling life story that is only beginning to unfold.

 Parker Milsap
Millsap is a poet: at times his work can be dark and brooding, at other times hopeful, but most of all he has something to say, something to tell you that will grab you and attach itself to you and remain a part of you forever. It's probably impossible that at his age that Palisade is autobiographical, but if he hasn't lived this album, he's certainly seen quite a bit in his young life. Honestly, the Waits comparison is easy because of his voice, three double whiskey-rocks rough; road weary, yet smoothly aged at the same time. But honestly, the allegory and narration at work on this album is genuinely comparable to the works of Hank Williams and Bob Dylan. Visit Parker's Website /Video

 Matt Harlan
Houston-based Matt Harlan made quite an impact with his first album, Tips and Compliments. Bow and Be Simple, mostly recorded in a single day with a Danish band led by M C Hansen, should cement his reputation as a substantial songwriter.
There's a fluid self- confidence to his writing that at times comes close to matching early Dylan for a clear-eyed description of the world as he sees it.

Craig Kinsey and Friends
Born a full turn from the white picket fences of America, Craig Kinsey was raised on Southern lore from a family of moon shiners. His teenage years were spent train hopping, walking, and driving across the country in search of "the old days… Guthrie, Kerouac, and John Lee Hooker." This seeking out the marrow of life led him into the great silence of a monastery and out again into music's center stage.
