Bosque Brown

For all intents and purposes, Mara Lee Miller is a solo singer songwriter but has chosen the moniker Bosque Brown as the vehicle for her recordings. Her lyrics are simple and full of "truth-telling" and "woe." Bosque Brown Plays Mara Lee Miller was released May 2005 and was backed by a wonderful handful of musicians from Seattle. The latest release is a vinyl one-sided LP which consists of four songs and an etching on the b side. A cd version is also included with the LP for portability.

Really Red

Really Red was an American hardcore punk band formed in Houston, Texas in the late 1970's. Its members were Ronald "U-Ron" Bond, Vocals; Kelly "Green" Younger, Guitar; Bob Weber, Drums; and John Paul Williams, Bass Guitar. Really Red may not qualify for most beloved or dearly remembered early Texas punk band, but they were certainly one of the best in many respects. The band's sound evolved — unmistakable but ever-changing — with every release, and the law of diminishing returns never applied. They managed to be political without being heavy-handed or tiresome.

Mike Zito

Growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, Zito was immersed in the gritty sounds of the south side that would unknowingly become the groundwork of his future in music. Like the legends before him, music has coursed through his veins from the early age of five, when he began singing and performing. It didn't take long for him to discover his instrument of choice, electric guitar, after receiving a Van Halen record for his birthday. His education and journey were just starting - little did he know he would find himself among such legends at a local guitar shop just out of high school.
