Rodrigo y Gabriela

Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero are two fast-fingered, Dublin-based Mexicans with a unique sound created on acoustic guitars. Their music is difficult to define, straddling both world and rock and often imbued with timeless Hispano – classical influences. The fire in it comes from their life-long passion for metal music. In spring 2006, “Rodrigo y Gabriela,” beat both the Arctic Monkeys AND Johnny Cash to number one in the Irish charts. Both the artists and their third self–titled album have gone on to enjoy international success since its initial release in early 2006.

Melt

Melt initially started with cousins Paul Pipitone (bass) and Chris Gagnon (drums). Both had been around the local Boston music scene for several years and were looking to do something new that combined elements that were dynamic and jarring yet still accessible and melodic. Paul was into punk, art rock and goth, Chris, hard rock and jazz. Some tunes and a solid foundation were set, but the final line-up was not. Enter guitarist Nils Freiberger. He and Paul have been friends for many years, and when the guitarist spot became available, he jumped at the opportunity.

Cherry Lee Mewis

She’s a 5ft-nothing-23-year-old-white girl from North Wales with ex-horse racing parents, who gets her kicks out of scratchy old vinyl, roaring vocals and battered old guitars... Cherry Lee Mewis is the real deal. She’s added her own fresh perspective to blues 'n' roots music with her album, ‘Little Girl Blue’, a mixture of 'forgotten', obscure blues tracks, adding a raw, unplugged feel teaming up with multi-faceted guitarist Max Milligan and producer and former Argent singer, John Verity.
