The Skylight Crowd

There are bands out there that are on the cutting edge, breaking new ground and pushing musical boundaries. While The Skylight Crowd certainly wishes those bands luck, they definitely don’t fall into that category.

“If we’re really honest with ourselves, our sound is fundamentally based on the music we like,” smiles singer Keith Porter. “Bands like Counting Crows, Train and Hootie and the Blowfish are the reason we exist. We’ve been influenced by that genre for fifteen years, and now we’re creating music that would fit into that world.”

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees, originally made up of three brothers: Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb (died 2012), and Maurice Gibb (died 2003), have been successful for most of their 40-plus years of recording music. They had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as a foremost act of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The Gibb brothers were born on the Isle of Man, UK to English parents in 1946 (Barry Alan Crompton Gibb, September 1) and 1949 ( twins Robin Hugh Gibb and Maurice (pronounced "Morris") Ernest Gibb, December 22).

Scowlin Owl

Scowlin Owl are an all-female folk band, low on twee but big on drama and vocal harmonies. They’re influenced by mythic storytellers from the classic (Dylan, Baez) to the contemporary (Decemberists, Midlake). Any story or concept which inspires them may become a song - their setlist includes tunes about the 2004 tsunami, creepy preachers, frozen cavemen, the Japanese John Wayne, the childlike love of waterslides and what Dolly Parton’s Jolene may have said in her defence.

swanston

Swanston is made up of Grice Peters (Lead vocals, guitars) Jim Peters (Keys, flute, vocals) and Dave Costello (Bass, vocals) and was formed in Devon, UK. Swanston take their name from a dilapidated but much loved Georgian mansion in deepest Devon. This is where much of the band's early material was written and recorded, including their stunning concept album 'Glorious Swanston'. This was recorded in one mammoth session!
