Sara Groban is proud to introduce herself to audiences worldwide with the release of her debut CD "Notes From Underground". Her lead single off of this CD is "Seasons". "This song is meant to represent the different parts of a relationship that change over time with some negative and positive influences", states Sara. Relationships are hard emotionally and physically and the yearning to move forward without dragging in the past puts an emotional toll on ones system. These types of emotions are ever present in this song. Her eloquent introduction with acoustic guitar brings an authentic natural feel to this song. She uses a technique called finger picking in her music with other common threads of unique melodic verses and overall style. Her vocals are tender, yet contain power when needed. The sensations that flow are the feeling of calm and peace. It is a very introspective song told through a storyteller’s heart through her glorious music. Sara Groban is a multi-generational artist that brings her wonderful folk/pop songs to the masses. No matter what age you are, what gender you are, what personality you have, her music will touch your soul. Her new CD "Notes From Underground" is a compilation of songs that represent snippets of her life whether they be melancholy or joyous, you’ll experience both with Sara. It is obvious that musical talent runs through her family as Josh Groban is her cousin. Sara’s CD is available at most digital storefronts. Blake Clifford

 The piano prodigy, who as a young teenager, attended the world renowned Juilliard School of Music in New York City, and is a trained classical pianist who learned music theory and took vocal classes. As a kid, he listened to his brother deejaying and the music of P.Diddy and Mase, both from his native Harlem, spilled out of the room, mixing with the sounds of Scott Joplin, whose life story and musical innovative pierced Hugo’s ears when he saw the classic movie starring Billy Dee Williams and got him interested in piano. The gifted musician has played the legendary Carnegie Hall, where he wowed (there’s that word again) the crowd. All of these intricate sounds and beats mixed in Hugo and he wants to blend hip-hop with the various styles of music (jazz, blues, pop, et al.) that he has learned to appreciate while studying at the prestigious music school. "I like to call what I do 'swag music.' It’s the music that Ludacris, Akon and Fabolous (among others) do, artists who brought the party back to music. I want to do that kind of music so that hip-hop can be the music of the people again and not just about bling-bling and places that people might never see. I want to get back to music that you hear in the club and music that just makes you want to dance. I make music for the ladies, like any young artist does, but I consider everybody."

Kerry Wilkins  Kerry has electricified audiences on-stage with Kim Waters, Marion Meadows, Kirk Whalum, Bobby Lyle, Billy Paul, Ronnie Laws, Melba Moore, Howard Hewitt, Frank McCombs, Gerald Alston and many others. A smile graces Kerry's face as he reminisces about his childhood in Houston, Texas where he was born and raised. He vividly recalls the sizzling summers of backyard barbeques and get-togethers with the sounds of Hendrix, Funkadelic and Santana. As a boy, he would imagine that it was he who was on those records performing those awesome guitar licks as the euphoria swelled within him. Kerry set out to make this dream a reality by enrolling in guitar lessons at the age of 12. Kerry's giftedness would enable him to join his first band at the age of 16. The following year his high school stage band recruited him where he expanded his knowledge of chart reading and jazz chording. Displaying his abounding versatility on lead and rhythm guitar, he would go on to showcase his talent in various local funk, r&b, pop/rock, and tejano bands. Kerry is teaming up again with Producer Gregg Moore to write and release new music for his third compact disc due out in 2012.
