Patrick Joseph
About: Patrick Joseph
You may have heard his music on such shows as
Gossip Girl, The Office, Chicago Fire, MTV's Friendzone, or Happy Endings, to
name a few. You might have caught him at festivals around North America such as
SXSW in Austin, NXNE in Toronto, or CMJ in New York. Or maybe you're just
discovering his music for the first time. Regardless of how you've gotten to
know him, you've already discovered quickly why he's had a steady rise to
success over the past few years from the Los Angeles music scene to the
international stage. With two releases and a few years of touring under his
belt, singer/songwriter Patrick Joseph is no stranger to the craft, and 2014
shows no signs of slowing down for the young songsmith who hails from Los
Angeles, CA.
Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Joseph forges a
mixture of pretty & gritty vocals, lush production and timeless
songwriting, creating a presence that NOW Magazine describes as "A Gifted
LA adult-contemporarist with a world-weary Waitsian voice and a Spoon meets
Beatles soft-rock vibe."
Joseph is largely independent, producing,
recording, mixing, and until recently, performing all of his recordings on his
own. A resident of the neighborhood of Silverlake in Los Angeles, Joseph has
established himself as one of the rising stars in the buzzing songwriting scene
of Southern California.
His latest release, Foot In The Door EP, is just
a teaser in promotion of his highly anticipated sophomore full-length release
Moon King, due out later this year. Foot In The Door EP is available online
exclusively at patrickjoseph.com.
Moon King was released in October 2014.

Gwamba
About: Gwamba
Defying
description, but easily accessible. Incredibly deep, but dangerously shallow.
In many publications and reviews the word "unique" appears, but is
not necessarily their definition of unique.
Lyrical stories
infused with thick dark E.V.P's trapped within a music that is heavy, but not
in the conventional sense of the word. Possessed mainstay members MUSHAGA, and
GWAMBA are sometimes visited by wood toting ghosts, but more times than not a
programmable humanoid that go's by the name "machine".
When probed as to
what category they fall into their response is sharp, and direct, "DON'T
LABEL US, WERE NOT DONE YET"! Gwamba and Mushaga feel much more akin to
the savageries and modern day hobo proclivity of the road as apposed to the
safe confines of a normal stay at home robot glass tit lifestyle. Using both
outdated infinite trigabyte computer systems, and modern day magnetic tape on
head analog sound capturing techniques, their available to the public craft-work
catalog is vast, yet compatible to any in the moment ear, or searching for
yesteryear soul. Staying true to the teachings of their larger than life, but
incredibly humble mentors,"BRACK", and "EMERIL" united as
one shooting the fig to anyone or anything that may unsuccessfully attempt road
blocking there destiny, Gwamba: The band is forever on the verge of a bro-down
with every, and all life forms, for music truly is, their medication! ~ Dell
Tearcut, New York Tribune

Leigh Nash
About: Leigh Nash
Leigh Nash is perhaps best known as the
pixie-like singer with the heavenly voice from Sixpence None the Richer, a CCM
group that enjoyed considerable fame in 1999 with the single "Kiss
Me." She had started the band at age 14 with schoolmate Matt Slocum.
Nearly half her life later, at age 27,
Sixpence None the Richer split, albeit on good terms. Before the band called it
quits, Nash had often considered working solo, if and when she would be
band-less. Though the end of Sixpence left her a little distraught, Nash
realized it was time to move on, and she and her husband moved from Nashville
to Los Angeles.
Soon after, Nash gave birth to a son. She
decided to return to her roots a little, which consisted of Christian and
country music, though she remained in touch with her pop influences. Nash's
original musical inspiration came from classic country heroines Loretta Lynn,
Patsy Cline, and Tanya Tucker whose songs she used to learn on guitar long
before the Sixpence days. With motherhood as an inspiration, she recorded Blue
on Blue and moved back to Nashville to join Movement Nashville, a recently
formed collective of musicians geared toward expelling the myth that
Nashville's music scene consists only of country and Christian music. Blue on
Blue was released in August of 2006. ~ Megan Frye, All Music Guide
On November 15th 2011, Leigh
Nash released Hymns & Sacred Songs, marking her rediscovery of the sacred
songs that stirred her imagination long before she became a recording star.
Nash grew up singing in church, but it
wasn’t what you might think. She wasn’t the golden-haired angel singing the
solo in the Christmas pageant. She was the girl in the pew just beginning to
discover her own voice.
That shy young girl from New Braunfels,
Texas, would grow up to become the unforgettable Grammy-nominated voice behind
such pop hits as “Kiss Me,” “There She Goes” and “Breathe Your Name” as lead
vocalist for Sixpence None the Richer.
Nash’s professional successes
notwithstanding, life has offered up its share of personal challenges in recent
years: the joyful arrival of her son Henry, a painful divorce, and the death of
her father. And in the midst of all of it, Leigh has discovered the reality of
God’s grace and comfort firsthand. “Before all this, I always felt a little
self-conscious singing in church, a little awkward trying to sing the melodies.
I think a big part of me didn’t feel worthy to be a conduit for such sacred
hymns and songs, but now, because of what I have been through, I see it
differently. To discover that songs written hundreds of years ago are still so
inspiring and relevant to my life, that grace is most real when you need it
most, I honestly felt every word on this record.”

Amy McCann
About: Amy McCann
Amy McCann is a
musician with a broad range of musical interests from classical to folk to
rock. She is a multi-instrumentalist singer- songwriter who draws
inspiration from nature. Amy may be found walking pretty much any dirt
path in Canada and anyone who knows her from her Youtube channel
(amccann7) will see this in many of her videos.
Amy was trained
as a classical violinist as a child, coming from a very musical family. As a
teenager, she began to love bands like Led Zeppelin and switched to acoustic
guitar and mandolin. She learned finger-picking blues from famous Toronto
Folkie Mose Scarlet before playing in Northern California for several years.
Amy then returned to classical taking a guitar performance degree at McGill
University in Montreal, while raising 3 children. Amy now runs a small but
devoted music studio and performs occasionally as a classical & folk-rock
soloist, and with her folk ensemble Hazy Maidens with vocalist Julie McCann.
Although she
collaborates frequently with wonderful musicians all over the planet, she
is also known to record entire songs herself because she sometimes feels
she just has to get the song out. This means all the instruments (guitar,
violin, piano, drums) and vocals. Arguably, her greatest musical quality
is her ability to emotionally ignite anything she plays.
Finally, Amy is
an accomplished artist that specializes in watercolor/oils. Again, her themes
tend to be nature-based and organic. Her art, which displays a love of nature’s
mysteries and magic, has even attracted the attention of scientists who have
commissioned her for specific paintings. She also studied stained-glass making
while living in Montreal and designs her own patterns.

Sofa City Sweetheart
About: Sofa City Sweetheart
Sofa City Sweetheart is the pop music
project of multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter J. Lopez. Sounds as if The
Kinks and Elliott Smith had a baby.
“J. Lopez is a songwriter, performer,
producer, and sound engineer and his talents are collectively known as Sofa
City Sweetheart. Successfully tapping into that 60’s California pop sound he
creates fetching melodies in his songs that retain a tongue-in-cheek edge. Of
course, Lopez needed some help to fill out his debut EP. The operatic
background vocals, violin, cello, and nicely compressed drums are provided by a
company of musicians who make Sofa City Sweetheart sound like a band rather
than a one-man effort.”

Jeff Paisley
About: Jeff Paisley
Jeff Paisley fell in love with music when
he was a young boy and joined choir in the 3rd grade. By the time he was 16,
and with the influences of Paul McCartney, Duran Duran, Bryan Adams, and Def
Leppard, he started down a path of teaching himself how to play keyboards and
writing music.
Over the years Jeff had been a part of many touring choirs and bands which fueled the fires of love he had for music. But when Jeff got married, music took a back seat to family. He passed on an offer from a subsidiary of a major label when he was 22 but kept writing music through the years.
When he learned of the true mercy and love of his Savior Jesus Christ and His second coming Jeff’s life and music changed. He went on to Pastor for a few years… doing prophecy seminars and music around the US, Ukraine, and Russia as well as founding and hosting a radio program called The Awesome Light.
During those years Jeff had been told by his friends and family that he should send his music to Christian record companies, but he was focused on being a Pastor.
In 2008, he finally gave in and Jeff signed with Tate Music Group. During production of the album, Jeff had massive side effects from a medication that left him sick for nearly two years. Tate Music Group waited on him to heal and finish the tracks which he ended up producing and recording mostly by himself.
God has comforted, protected, and guided Jeff through the years. Jeff believes that God is a God of second chances… Jeff’s mission in life, and in his music, is to proclaim the true love, mercy, and soon second coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In 2010 Jeff decided to leave Pastoral
ministry and pursue a full time music ministry.
"Forever Believe" was released in March of 2011. With little to no marketing Jeff left Tate Music Group late in 2011 and is currently looking to sign with another label and re-release "Forever Believe."

Portico Quartet
About: Portico Quartet
Portico
Quartet are a band from
London. Their sound is made partially distinctive by the use of the Hang, a
21st-century percussion instrument. The group is composed of Jack Wyllie
(soprano and tenor saxophone), Duncan Bellamy (drums), Milo Fitzpatrick (double
bass), and Keir Vine (Hang and percussion). Nick Mulvey, former Hang player and
percussionist, left in early 2011 to pursue his career as singer-songwriter. He
is replaced by Keir Vine.
After nearly two
years of playing mainly small gigs and busking regularly outside the National
Theatre in London, they signed to Babel Label in 2007. Their first album, Knee-deep
in the North Sea was released on 5 November 2007.
They are now
signed to Real World Records. The name portico comes from when one of their
gigs was rained off in Italy, and they ended up playing under a portico.
Their third, most
recent, eponymously titled album was released on January 30, 2012.
Real World Records
Portico Quartet
still sound like nothing you ever heard before. The Mercury nominated East
London based outfit's unique brand of hypnotic minimalism has expanded to
embrace new sonic territories. Drawing on the inspiration of electronica,
ambient, classical and dance music as they take their strange, beautiful,
cinematic, future music to exciting new vistas where the inspiration of Burial,
Mount Kimbie and Flying Lotus rubs shoulders with the textures of Arve
Henriksen and Bon Iver and echoes of Steve Reich and Max Richter. But all
underpinned by a shared joy in collective music making as the band push their
inimitable music into the future.

Tired Pony
About: Tired Pony
Tired Pony is a music supergroup consisting of Gary
Lightbody, Richard Colburn, Iain Archer, Jacknife Lee, Peter Buck, Scott
McCaughey and Troy Stewart. Lightbody formed the group out of his appreciation
for country music, and has during the early planning phase described the
group's music once as "country-tinged" but explained later that in
the end the album's development turned out much more to Americana than country
during the whole creative process in the studio. The group visited Portland,
Oregon in January 2010 to record this debut album, which was produced by member
Lee; The Place We Ran From was released on 12 July 2010. Tired Pony
began recording their second album "The Ghost of the Mountain" on
February 19th 2013, and will be released on August 19, 2013
History:
Tired Pony was formed by Gary Lightbody (of Snow Patrol), who had a "long-term ambition" of making a country album. He revealed the project's existence in May 2009. In the interview, he expressed his love for country music, which he said he had loved for a long time: "I always thought I had a country album in me and it turns out I did." The rest of Snow Patrol expressed excitement for their band-mate, "delighted that [Lightbody was] getting to exercise all his crazy ideas." In October 2009, Lightbody in his blog on Snow Patrol's website revealed the members of the group to be Richard Colburn (of Belle & Sebastian), Iain Archer, singer Miriam Kaufmann (Archer's wife), and Jacknife Lee. He talked about two more members whom he was very excited about, but didn't name them. He also stated that the album won't be country as was being reported, but would be "country-tinged". In January 2010, Hot Press reported Peter Buck (of R.E.M.) to be a member of the group. Lightbody described Buck as one of his "all-time heroes" and admired his talent for playing a variety of instruments. Lightbody looks at the project as something he has "wanted to get out of [his] system", and said that "[he doesn't] know whether people will dig it or not.". About the album he furthermore said he wanted to write a twisted love-letter to the States.
Tired Pony played their first ever live show at London's Forum venue in Kentish Town on July 14, 2010 and were joined on stage by 2009 Mercury Music Prize nominee Lisa Hannigan who stepped in for Zooey Deschanel on song "Get On The Road". Editors singer Tom Smith also joined the group on stage.
On September 30, 2010, Tired Pony appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, performing "Dead American Writers" from their album, The Place We Ran From. "Get on the road" was also featured on Showtime drama "Shameless" at the end of "Just Like the Pilgrims Intended" episode.
