Artist Type: 

Jay Nash

Jay Nash, East Coast native and rock troubadour, has been blessed with the kind of excruciatingly rustic voice so rarely heard on record. Coupled with that is his unnervingly candid approach to song-writing - the man is a burgeoning talent set for realisation with his latest studio release ‘The Things You Think You Need’. It’s certainly refreshing to find an artist that refuses to simply dwell on the hard times, instead choosing to bask in the good and the great that life has to offer.

Roadsaw

Formed in the mid-'90's by Craig Riggs and Tim Catz, they raised the bar for riff loving hard rock, proving that the West Coast didn't have a lock on what most considered "stoner rock." They released a single on Man's Ruin, three albums ("$1,000,000," "Nationwide," and "Rock n Roll"), a compilation of singles and B-sides ("Taking Out the Trash"), toured the hell out of the US and Europe with the likes of Nebula, Orange Goblin, and Scissorfight, and then, like all good bands and unlike too many shitty ones, went on the dreaded "indefinite hiatus".

Oh Susanna

Suzie Ungerleider, who writes and performs as Oh Susanna, is a Canadian alternative country singer-songwriter. She was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, staring at the ocean, mountains and railroad tracks through sheets of rain. She sought refuge with song under burnt-out warehouses and in darkened clubs with the promise of guitar twang and a lonesome cry. Suzie cites a wide range of jazz, blues, pop, rock and folk influences as inspirations for her musical career. Discography

Otis Gibbs

Otis Gibbs is a man in search of an honest experience.

Otis has played everywhere from labor rallies in Wisconsin, to anti-war protests in Texas, Austria and the Czech Republic, Feed & Seed Stores in the Midwestern U.S. and in countless, theaters, festivals, bars and living rooms.
