THANKS FOR DROPPING BY. James Harker  James Harker's three-year journey to produce his debut album The Red Room began at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival, where he had performed regularly in a dingy room at the foot of North Bridge which had been converted into the 'Red Room': a sumptuous boudoir for immersive, avant-garde music and drama. "The Red Room, and the whole bubble surrounding it was a chaotic, volatile experience. Reality had been barred entry, and consequently everything – and everyone – became intensified and unstable," says James. "On the one hand, it had been huge fun. But when I came up for air I was conscious of so many things: the fickleness of identity, the unpredictability of love, the conflict of emotion and morality; but, as Boy George pointed out, there’s an art to feeling sorry for yourself." And so, James began to document his feelings in the 12 songs that came to constitute The Red Room. A year later James found himself with a window of time to record the album. It was now or never, but he was also completely broke. So, he hooked-up with a string quartet at his old university, and with an old school-friend who had a semi-professional studio in the Derbyshire countryside. No money would change hands, and James made ends meet working as a restaurant piano player, an actor, and a short film soundtrack composer. Kathy Von
 Bright-eyed singer/songwriter Kathy von rolled into Nashville just over a year ago and has since created quite a buzz with her self-described Girly Pop / Country Rock flavored grooves. Kathy von has a heart of gold, a smile that puts all around her at ease, a kind word for anyone who crosses her path, and her music reflects this humbleness and sincerity. Kathy von has an uplifting lyrical style and a smooth, harmonious vocal impossible to shake once you hear her perform. She has managed to create her own unique cross-genre style, and her sound is often described as a blend of The Cranberries and Mindy Smith, with a touch of Alison Krauss in the mix. Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, Kathy emigrated to USA with her family in 2000 at the age of 24. Although she didn’t pursue her musical aspirations until she was in her late 20’s, music has always been a key element in her life. “I have distinct memories of singing along to my parents records over and over again all day long (Rod Stewart, Elton John and The Carpenters come to mind) and I thought that’s what everyone did until I grew up and realized that not everyone lives and breathes music like I do.” The music gene runs in her family as well, her Dad has a history of playing in bands and her brother, Stephen, is also a singer / songwriter. Chris Slanton  Del Rico  Del Rico was born in the United States and now lives abroad in Europe. At an early age, Del Rico joined pop art band, Fear of Man in Washington D.C. Enjoying moderate success with the band, after three years later, Del Rico found a good nitch as bassist/guitarist and vocalist as a backing musician for well known artists in studio and on tour. After many years, Del Rico decided to take time off and moved to Europe where he found a very influential rich culture and good musical comraderie.In 2009 Del Rico formed the band Crusher Jones with former Seal and Rick Astley Bass player Les Nemes and delivered their debut album on the spanish label "Chivo Records". Such songs as "Wake up Call" and "Love is Gone" which were potential groove movers. After 2 years, Del Rico took again time off to work more on his passion of horseback riding, after a few hardfelt relationship break ups from the heart, Del Rico is back in the songwriting scene with much to tell from his romance torn experiences. "I hope everyone will enjoy and feel good when they listen to the new songs I have to give to the world, I think many people can relate to where I'm coming from with the message that's being brought out through my music, Thank you for listening!"

Anson Carter  Anson Carter is a big man with a big voice and he fronts a band with a sound that’s as deep and wide as the Texas landscape he loves. Carter became an underground phenomenon in 2007, when he cut the anthemic ode to Corpus Christi’s favorite fast food "Whataburger #5." Carter’s bold vocal style and the song’s punchy rhythm track made fans out of everyone who heard it. Carter’s new album, 100 Degrees In The Shade, was an in house effort. Carter collaborated with fellow musician, Mike Bowen, and produced it together. "We started recording in October of 2010," Carter explains. "It took us almost a year to complete, not because we were being picky, but because my touring and work schedules limited us to a couple of hours a week. The energy Carter and the band put into their shows is evident on every track. Everything was laid down live, with no autotuning. If a part didn’t work, they played it over until all the songs came together. Chad Hudson, Mickey Jack Cones and Arlis Albritton wrote "One of Those Days," a mid-tempo rocker and the album’s first single. The song looks back on a summer full of home runs, dips in the creek and slow dances with your sweetie. "Chad’s a great songwriter and a native Texan" Carter says. "He captures the kind of summer feelings we dream about all winter long.” The stinging guitar solo and subtle cymbal accents add to the tune’s appeal. Sean Patrick  Just the concept of creating an album that flows as one cohesive unit is a dying breed in today’s era of the "download each song independently" mentality. Winds and a ringing bell open the album. As the introductory "In the Midst of the Raging Storm" continues, a processed spoken vocal line brings a theatric and ominous mysterious tone. Symphonic elements and piano merge on the piece. It’s a fairly short piece that builds to more dramatic power later. A killer hard rock jam makes up the melody of "You." There is an almost Beatles-like element to it. There’s a tasty, retro rock jam mid-track with a classy guitar solo. A mellower movement that follows brings some progressive rock to the proceedings. "Something About Here" has even more of those Beatles-references. Tony Faison  As music has greatly evolved over the last few decades, so has the gift and ability of Tony Faison. He has been playing and singing different styles of music for many years, as a result of listening to many influential artists. Artists that have impacted him both instrumentally and vocally, are artist such as, Ben Tankard, Herbie Hancock, Ramsey Lewis, Fred Hammond, Stevie Wonder, Brian McKnight, Commissioned, The Winans, Kim Burrell and many more. He has a unique sound that presents a combination of R&B, pop, urban, contemporary, jazz, and gospel. Ken Coulson  As Ken continued along his journey of musical exploration, he continued to develop himself as a songwriter. In 2008, Ken was introduced to Raymond Bryant through his friend Kim Geary -- the result was his next project, Kite. Reenergized and growing through the new relationship, Ken and Ray with producer/engineer Alex Theoret and drummer Hari Ganglberger made 3 exploding groove albums laced with funk, reggae, rock, and pop: the self-titled Kite in 2008, Future Perfect in 2009 and Exercise in Levitation in 2010. The new albums represented a musical growth for the group and their families and a spiritual one for Ken. Kite solidified Ken’s goal of changing the lives around him through music and also helped him to develop a broader understanding of music itself. Kite’s deep funk and rock and roll groove, complete with soaring guitar, fretless bass, and explosive drumming represented a watershed musical experience for Ken. In 2009, Kim, now married to Ray, began to sing with the group, who had begun to trend toward acoustic playing. Ken’s songwriting was also taking influences from Americana and folk music. The Other Corner Jug Band was formed on fine fall day in October. With themes on raising children, the earth, religion, to light hearted songs about loving one’s life and opportunities; OCJB released 2 CDs, Other Corner Jug Band in 2009 and Grow in 2010. To this day, the band continues to write and perform these and new music, enjoying a healthy exposure through radio and grassroots concert performances. In the winter of 2010, Ken began a new vein of writing and rhythmic playing that has become Gatsby’s Green Light. The songs flowing forth from the inspiration of the project seem to fit the concept of a bigger band, formats of multi-instrumental musicians and working equally-well as solo acoustic performance. Ken has since embraced the understanding that there are no genres only music, reinforced itself in world music that fuses Latin, Americana, pop, island, theatre and more.
