Kaya Burgess

Kaya Burgess is a British singer-songwriter whose brushstroke lyricism combines with a folk-rock-n-roll sound to create a compelling image of life, literature and London town. "A lovely voice." ----- Guy Garvey, lead-singer of Elbow "I can't put my finger on it, but i like it a lot and it's very personal and unique. It's got this old, worn feel to it, like a historic city after the lights go out and only a few dim pubs are still open, a handful of patrons inside drinking up the last dregs of the day. In other words, it's brilliant." ----- Tortoise Crossing

Matt The Electrician

The Mostly True Bio of Matt the Electrician Mussed hair and work clothes be damned, Matt Sever's been known to schlep directly to gigs disheveled from his real-life day-job: keeping people wired and lit. Yet the moniker is more than just a humorous takeoff on life's realities. Born Matt the Electrician on a frosty San Francisco morn, Matt and his family soon moved to Oregon in search of culture, nice weather and vineyards.

Twilight Hotel

Twilight Hotel is the musical partnership of Brandy Zdan & Dave Quanbury. Together they possess an elusive chemistry and musical style that is dark, moody and rooted in some kind of nostalgic passion for scratchy records and vintage guitar tones. They combine a rock n roll sensibility, compelling songwriting, and haunting arrangements while standing comfortably outside your predictable genre box.
