Ben Rogers

Ben Rogers is a British pop/rock songwriter, singer & pianist. His music has been likened to that of Ben Folds, Elton John & Michael Jackson in the sense that they are built upon the fundamentals of songwriting. His songs are piano based but tend to use traditional instrumentation. Vocally, Ben Rogers is very distinctive.
Some controversy arises as to the general meaning of Rogers' lyrics, they range from the tongue-in-cheek more poppy songs to the more intelligent and intricate lyrics.

Jim O'Rourke

American indie rock and avant-garde musician, composer and producer Jim O'Rourke has been a key component in the increasing overlap of the American and European music , working in everything from and to and and building many a bridge in between. A Chicago native, his work has found equal luck with experimental jazz and fanatics, room denizens, and bedroom experimentalists, and has had the resultant effect of cross-pollinating many otherwise isolated compositional communities.

Lux Harmonium

Like the unearthing of an Alan Lomax recording or a gem from some back-room of Cecil Sharpe house; Luke Jones' Lux Harmonium is doubtless to be cited next to modern day guitar virtuosos' James Blackshaw, Glenn Jones or the late Jack Rose. Details are few (seemingly intentionally) but this double A-Side is handpicked from an album of recordings by the Devon based Luke Jones. Treading somewhere between the delta folk world of John Fahey or Leo Kottke and an altogether more outsider pop of Robert Wyatt; Lux Harmonium manage to take a menagerie of influences and make them sound altogether.

Andi Neate

Andi Neate has been described as “angel-voiced” and “street tough” and compared with Suzanne Vega, Ani Difranco and the Cranberries. Her appearance is a mixture of confidence and vulnerability - from the trademark tattoos writhing round her right arm to the tumbling mass of dark hair to her sometimes stocking soles when performing. Her childhood on a remote west coast island encouraged her natural affinity with nature, and the strong sense of independence which led her to building her own house – brick by brick - and which has taken her and her music to far corners of the world.
