| Tyrone Wells | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I could mention that Wells' first solo album is co-produced by Black Crows' guitarist Marc Ford... or I could mention the fact that the first time I heard Tyrone's voice I was totally overcome with that dazzling feeling one gets when they're so completley dazzled by an artists music.. or I could just send you to his website to see for yourself how dazzling he is. Yes, I think I'll do that! website: www.tyronewells.com |

| Nathan Sheppard | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Once in a blue moon I find myself stumbling across a performer like Nathan, who writes in such a powerfully meaningful way that one instantly feels a connection to the music. Like a tall, steaming cup of coffee, I find myself savoring it, taking my time with it, and lingering in the warmth held within these walls of song. website: www.nathansheppard.com |

| Garrison Starr | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "For as long as I can remember I've wanted to inspire people," says Starr. "I want my music to reach people, and I want the experience to be postive. I want to show strength and offer hope, and address issues that provide answers, even if that means provoking people." website: www.garrisonstarr.com |

| Freedy Johnston | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The song that I first heard by Johnston was "Bad Reputation", which was released in June of 1996. I immediately went out and bought the album, which completely blew my mind away! If you've ever wanted to hear what a truly great great great songwriter sounds like, Freedy Johnston should most definitely be on your discovery list. website: www.freedyjohnston.com |
