Kevin and Claudia Forde

Kevin is from Marin County, California, and Claudia was born in Mainz, Germany. She and her family emigrated to the United States when she was 9 months old. Kevin and Claudia met in 1987 when she recorded some songs at Kevin's home studio. Over the next few years, they developed a strong musical and personal relationship. In 1994 Kevin and Claudia married, becoming partners in life as well as in musical creation. Their music is the result of the many influences each has had. These influences include rock, blues, folk, country, and classical music from many artists. Both Kevin and Claudia are multi-instrumentalists and singers, and have truly eclectic tastes in various musical styles and genres.
'Cobalt Blue', our blues-based album, is really the culmination of the rich and diverse influence that blues music has had on us. From gritty urban blues, laid-back country blues, jumpin' boogie to spiritual blues, the flavors are many.






Ian Tschirhart

It seems now that I have been dreaming about being a songwriter since I was about 7 years old. I still remember the first song I "wrote" then. It was called "Sitting in the Sun." Well, I don’t have any real music education to speak of, and I’m certainly not a prodigy of any sorts; however, I think anybody can’t make up songs. I spent many years doing just that, until I noticed that some of them weren’t half bad. Matter of fact, in time, I created some pretty darn good ones. Two of my songs were Honorable Mentions in song contests, Little Ol' Me in 2010, and Tears of Restoration in 2011. My lyrics and melodies are very catchy, just like the songs I used to listen to as a boy...and still do.




Tekk Allstarz

Tekk Allstarz is a fusion Jazz group. All band members studied music together at Bowie State University in Bowie Maryland. If you like DJ Cam, Thievery Corporation, The Jazz Liberators mixed with Norman Brown and J-Dilla, you will love this group.
As far as music is concerned we would like to the think ultimately people listen to music they like regardless of genre, style, language, or era. Sometimes that’s not always the case, sometimes it seems radio programmers play the songs they want you to like and eventually to end up liking it, or brain washed enough care just listen because the radio told you too. We wanted to create an alternative to the "norm" and to combine different genres together, to capture each genre in its rawest form. There are lots of labels, producers and musicians etc... Out there that are mix matching music but some way some how it always gets watered down to please or suffice a particular audience. Well we will not compromise; we believe you should listen to what you like. In our case there is no limit to styles or forms of music we are attempting to cover, but the bases for our music is hip hop-jazz. Hip Hop jazz meaning combining the basic elements of hip hop with jazz. While fusing reggae, r&b, house and a variety of world music in between.

The album features a sprinkling of 20-year-old Grownups classics (re-imagined) amidst a raft of brand new songs, resulting in a sweeping, eclectic landscape of Alt Rock/Pop songs that explore excitingly original characters and concepts.

Las Vegas singer, songwriter, and all-out acoustic rocker Elliot Szabo (www.elliotszabo.com) engages his audience with a mixture of relatable lyrics and infectious grooves, delivering an upbeat set of crowd-pleasing tunes and styles similar to those of Eric Hutchinson, Matt Nathanson and Duncan Sheik.

Throughout his youth, Szabo’s father played guitar, which inspired Elliot to do the same.

"My music is inspired by a variety of personal experiences and stories throughout my life," says Szabo.



William Michael Dillon

William Dillon was a good kind of jumpy as he prepared to take the stage. He had performed live, but this crowd, unlike prior audiences, wasn't made up of criminals doing time.
In those earlier performances, Dillon was one of them, and yet he wasn't. He'd been convicted of murder without having committed the crime. He made this point from behind bars repeatedly. For years.
"I'm ready to get it on, no doubt," said Dillon, 51, who at 6-foot-4 resembles a strapping, more chiseled version of the late comedian Phil Hartman. He wore a black T-shirt with the words "NOT GUILTY" emblazoned on the front. "I mean, I've done this in front of hundreds of 'hardheads.' If you can put on a show for them guys and they cheer for you, then you can make it happen."



Gina Carey


Gina celebrates her fifth release with 10 new songs that put you back in the old school sounds of the early 80’s era. This CD includes 4 soulful mid tempo love ballads "Loving You", "Share My Life", "Don’t ever Let Me Go" and "Unbelievable", 2 the fun, funky soulful up tempo tracks "Red Hat" and the old school up tempo disco jam "Without you" and 4 inspirational songs "I Care" ,Life Is More "Don’t You Give Up", and "A Change" a powerful song about the worlds crises and the hope for the future.
After being in hiatus for almost four years, Gina’s husband was the inspiration behind this phenomenal project. "I wasn’t planning on recording anytime soon. I think I was becoming comfortable with just being a wife and singing backgrounds on my husband’s new CD "New Beginnings", but my husband continued to encourage me to not give up on my passion to sing. So "Melodic" was born through that experience.”With a new love and a fresh perspective, John & Gina were able to create a masterpiece. Gina was born on October 17 in Chicago, Illinois and spent her formative years growing up in Los Angeles, CA. She now resides in Palm Springs, CA.

Like most successful child artists, Meeghan boasts a large and supportive family eager to help the young starlet achieve her dreams. Born Meeghan Henry in her parents’ homeland of Indonesia, Meeghan, while still a small child, approached her doting mother and told her that she wanted to spend her life entertaining people.

Gliffics
Gliffics is unique. You can't find another artist that has this kind of life story. His musical mixes are as distinct as his own ethnic mix.

Within his music you'll hear not only his own life – but find inspiration for your own. He's not an Egyptian Pharaoh or a Jewish born savior – Gliffics is human. The difference is he refuses to quit, refuses to lose. He will inspire you to fight back at what fate throws at you. Just take some words from his debut release, "You can call me crazy, until I conquer it all." Coming from an artist with the confidence of a leader like Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, as well as the charisma of a leader such as Moses. The result is one unique prophecy.

asia mei


When pianist/singer/songwriter asia mei (pronounced ah-sya) takes the stage her smiley offstage personality gives way to an intense performer and melancholy songwriter who leaves audiences moved. Her classically-honed piano interlaces with emotive singing, confiding moments of loss, nostalgia, and uprooting.
The themes of social disconnection and the search for a center stem from asia’s experiences of a cross-cultural upbringing. Born in a small Russian town, she grew up in the turbulent 90s in Jerusalem, Israel, experienced the 9/11 American trauma as a student at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, dealt with the economic collapse as a New York City resident and finally followed her husband and fellow musician, Andres Wilson, to his grad school studies to Northampton, MA.
asia’s ability to effortlessly blend genres and inspirations sets her sound apart from the clutter. She seamlessly combines expressive piano, rock guitar, jazz crooning and raw blues in one catchy, melancholic and distinctive sound. For the sake of categorizing, asia often describes her sound as "moody piano rock" and recommends her music to fans of Muse, Antony and the Johnsons, Jeff Buckley, Tori Amos, Regina Spektor, Radiohead and Coldplay.




Rick Legg

RICK LEGG was born way down in the southern most parts of our country, but later on in the years managed to some how wiggle his way around a culture of tremendous amounts of different music sounds. At one while in life he couldn’t decide which musical instrument he liked the best, but decided the guitar might do just as well. Listening to almost every country singer coming out of the country music radio stations he became sure of just one thing, country was what he wanted to do. But Rick didn't just want to be listened to by only people who liked country music, but wanted to be heard by all who really just love a singer who could sing it the way he felt it. True music has a flow of it's own and if the song is felt in the heart, then that’s the song for me. Rick delivers this song "SERENITY" with such a feel , it's hard to stop playing it over and over again. Well lets not waste any more time talking about Rick, lets get down to playing this most captivating and moving song titled "SERENITY" by RICK LEGG.
