Amy LaVere
Amy LaVere routinely gets antsy after she’s been off the road awhile. Born in Shreveport, Louisiana and a native of Bethany, Texas, she’s really more a child of America — a self-described “General Motors brat” whose father’s jobs kept her small family frequently on the move. Her life as a touring musician seems tailor-made for a woman who is seemingly one part upright bassist and another part gypsy.
John Leyton
John Leyton is an English actor and singer. As a singer he is best known for his hit song "Johnny Remember Me", (written by Geoff Goddard and produced by the legendary Joe Meek) which reached Number 1 in the UK chart in August 1961. John Dudley Leyton was born on 17 February 1939 in Frinton-on-Sea, Essex. After completing his National Service, he studied drama, paying his way through drama school with bit-part roles in films and on television.

One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams), a song with a rock flavor musically and lyrics listing simple desires such as "a comfortable bed", "food to fill me up", and "time to think".

Joel Rafael
Joel Rafael plays alot in the key of F which stands for Folk music. He is a big proponet of Woody Guthries work. I saw him at the Millpond Festival in Bishop, Ca. He took the stage with about fifteen children and sang "this land is your land" Truly a great Millpond moment. He works solo and also has a band but still performs acoustically. Good to see and hear him on Last FM.
Ryan James
Ryan James "Dream of Dakota" CD is a wonderful listening piece. Born and raised in North Dakota this country boy really knows how to bring it on home. Every piece will grab your heart and pull you close. This is the first release by this new-comer and I am pretty sure it won't be his last! Hope you all enjoy this as much as we all did!
