Patty Griffin

Patty Griffin, born Patricia Jean Griffin, March 16th, 1964 in Old Town, Maine, is an American singer. She brought out her debut album Living With Ghosts--a set of demos featuring only Ms. Griffin and her guitar--to critical acclaim in 1996. Her sophomore album, Flaming Red, demonstrated a more rocking, full-band sound. The ill-fated Silver Bell album was never released by her record label, however, and the label terminated her recording contract shortly after that. Many of the songs from Silver Bell were re-recorded for subsequent albums.

Pete du Pon

Pete du Pon is an English singer/ songwriter making waves as an up and coming unsigned artist, touted as the next James Taylor. Sponsored by Gibson Guitars and with a voice that sends shivers down the spine and lyrics which melt hearts, Pete has been earmarked for big things. Following great success touring with the likes of Amy MacDonald and Thea Gilmore as well as featuring on the same line ups as Gabriella Cilmi and Gary Go, among many others and having played at such venues as Shepherds Bush Empire and Abbey Road Studios he is definitely one to watch out for.
