Their new album Clearwater, is an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the pure voice/guitar arrangement of Call Me to a full folk rock sound of School Days with emotional stops all along the way. US radio stations have already spotted the potential of the album and are regularly featuring songs from the album on their play lists.

What you’ll find here are satisfying melodies with meaning – the kind of music your tired mind's been searching for. “Make art where you are, whenever you can.” That’s what Chris Hudgins does. The full-time singer/musician/poet works to make the time to create. And create, he does, his memorable music and lyrics obviously the product of great inspiration.

Chris grew up in a small town on the High Plains of Texas, playing football and acting in school plays. “Early on we had really modest means, but I don’t remember that part of it so much. Dad and Mom provided for us in a peaceful environment, and we always really knew what it feels like to be loved. That’s something that I later found

He was also the vocalist, guitarist and songwriter in the phenom psychedelic/fusion rock band, Animalcule, which dis-banded in 2006.

Ryan Kickland's folk music is less about pop-functionality than it is about content, imagery and mood. His writing maintains a gritty social conscience and a personal depth that explores different dimensions of the human condition, metaphysical and spiritual concepts, social and humanitarian issues, introspection and artistic expression, while also providing lighter images of joy, salvation and redemption. His music often includes elements of humor,

Layla Milou does not mince words - she sings and says straight out what she thinks. This honesty, coupled with great self-confidence, makes it clear that here is an artist at work without compromise.

Phrases turn, emotions connect, melodies soar. You sing along even though you've never heard the tune before. David writes from a perspective of distances, of interludes between lovers and lives and the roads that lead from small towns to big cities.

David has continually expanded his horizons, gigging throughout the Midewest to Northwest and around the country. David has been fortunate enough to share the stage with lots of great artists and groups, like Rascal Flatts, Travis Tritt, Goo Goo Dolls, Train, Martina McBride, and so many others.


His debut CD "Gonna Take It Easy" was recorded over the course of a couple of years. Nevertheless, the disc has garnered loads of great press.

The influences were shown in the early covers: Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath ...etc. The band recorded its first demo tape “The Call of Beneath” back in 2004, due to gain permission from the culture ministry of Islamic Iran: breaking the broken!

Without the backing of a label or help of a producer, Derek has been forced to develop his own sound. "It's not exactly what I imagined I would have to do to release a cd. In the back of my mind I always thought someone would hear my music and I would be on my way. I was very foolish to think it would be so easy." Acting as Engineer, Producer and Multi-instrumentalist, Derek has created a layered masterpiece of beautifully written songs that bring to mind Wilco, David Gray, Ryan Adams, and Damien Rice.

The songwriting styles of singers Cheryl Lynn and Stephanie Spinner combined with the ultra-melodic vocals of Megan Battaglia is where Spinn begins. The girls seem to possess an ability to hit home with listeners, as if the audience is hearing their own story told back to them. Like a fugue and its counterpoint, Steve DeSteno’s guitar playing and Dominick Velardo’s percussion help to bring a calm balance to the often harsh reality of the stories told. They’ve slightly modified the classic “Female Fronted Rock Band” by having three lead vocalists sharing
