Elizabeth Davis
Elizabeth Davis, on her exquisite self-titled 10-song album, scores on all points, but the first thing you notice is that voice. Davis has a reedy, almost husky quality to her tone, matched with a casual delivery that’s both inviting and a bit sultry. Based in Omaha, Nebraska, she’s recruited a top-notch cast of musicians to perform her compositions, which mix roots folk with a whisper of country and elements of classic American pop. She’s got enough of a modern edge to appeal to fans of contemporary indie rock like Feist and Nicole Atkins, but her music’s so rooted in timeless standards that she’d sound perfectly at home played alongside Linda Ronstadt and Patsy Klein on pop radio." - Jim Testa, Jersey Beat Magazine

Michael Vanasek
I am Michael Vanasek. I am independent artist from Minneapolis,MN who does not affiliate with genres or specific musical styles. I taught myself most of what I know in music and am continuing to learn on the go after starting from nothing. On my musical journey I have met many people that have helped to guide me in the right direction to continue searching for the truth within through music. I believe in honest, genuine heartfelt music and I don't believe in having any boundaries or limitations regarding music. Recently I gained some interest from a producer in Nashville and went down and recorded a 5 song ep of some raw songs that I had written. Although the sound that came out was not 100% to my liking, I was open to the direction in which they were taken and am currently continuing to write and find "my" sound which is and will always be ever-changing. Versatility is my strongest ability and I will continue to go where my heart will take me. Truth

Winston Salem NC, to their most recent triumphs in the Twin Cities, Minnesota (now the band’s home) Ultimately, the success of the band’s musical output, support from fans, n relentless work ethic have primed the band to release their highly anticipated debut ’A Hodgepodge Clusterfuck of High-Anxiety Chaos’.

ByItsRightName
The true purpose of music has dwindled down. Turn on your radio and you'll hear the usual cookie-cutter, non-creative party pop songs and shallow love song lyrics scavenged up from the classics and pasted together in a way that leaves you empty, unchanged, and uninspired. ByItsRightName has a mission to show you that music exists to do the exact opposite. May their powerful, unique melodies hook you in and pique your interest... May their intense, tight percussion pound deep into heart and keep you close... And may their sincere lyrical stories of passion, struggle, and triumph speak into your soul and inspire you to be different in the world of conformity.

Diesl
Taking from classic influences like Iron Maiden and Metallica, the ingenious rock of Incubus and Alice in Chains, and the pop sensibility and song writing of Jimmy Eat World, Diesl's sound is aggressive without being overbearing. Straying from the cookie-cutter image and utilizing their wide array of musical influences, Diesl has created a raw and yet technically impressive rock sound with a pop edge that has allowed the band to endure over 10 years of changing fads and short - lived trends in the original music scene.

Burning Tide
Burning Tide is a dirty blues-rock influenced powerhouse from Kansas City, KS. With catchy hooks & sexy looks, they always keep you craving more! Inspired by bands like Black Stone Cherry, Velvet Revolver, Motley Crue, & Silvertide, The Tide is always kind enough to rock your faces off before drinking you under the table. Their debut album, "Guilty Livin'," has taken the Midwest by storm, & they haven't looked back. Fueled by rock 'n' roll and cheap whiskey, the Kansas City kings (& queen) are breaking down the typical "chick fronted band" stereotype, replacing it with a fearsome foursome of party-rock & good times. Warning: Burning Tide may cause questionable hook-ups, mild bruising, & hangovers.
