The Joe Grahm Band  Joe Graham started playing in the early 60's, playing guitar and bass in several rock bands in and around northern Ohio for many years. Not a fan of the cold winters, by a stroke of luck Joe was offered a gig to play in a show band on Paradise Island in the Bahamas in the winter of 79. Joe decided it was time to get out of the cold north and try the music scene someplace totally different. The island environment changed Joe's approach to life and music forever. There was something about the slow pace, the great music, and the island people that got embedded into Joe's soul and stays there today. It's like the Islanders always say. "Once you get the sand between your toes mon you can never go home again". Joe never returned to the north country in body or mind, finally settling on the west coast of Florida where he continues to accumulate stories of adventures from a wild cast of friends, and acquaintances. All of the people and happenings that Joe has been involved with over the island years eventually led to the base for the stories found on his first CD, Tropical Conclusions. Joseph Di Fabbio  Having literally grown up with Rock, from the earliest 50's doo wop of the Cadillacs, Franky Lymon, to Dion, then the British Invasion, to Psychadelia, Woodstock, singer/songwriters, country-rock, to the countinued evolution to the current day, I feel genuinely priviledged and very lucky. My life revolves around music, it's part and parcel of the fabric of my soul. Music not only describes life, but it is part of the mystery that IS life. The beat and rythym, the highs and lows, the sorrow or joy, are all part of this life experience. Thank you, Lord, for music, to help us along life's journey. Brenda L.

I had just been singing choire, but I started to sing my own songs just for fun. It sounded OK at first, but after my millitary duty, I started to study music again, and I took solo song lessons and met new friends who introduced me to jazz and electronic music. I developed my skills, but it didn't sound as good as I wanted to. So I studied at the university for three years. We learned to produce for other artists and had a great teacher who was taught by Brian Eno himself. Ric Kirk  Ric Kirk is a Nashville TN resident originally from Indiana by way of Los Angeles.
