Endorsee Luthea sings what she thinks... very inspiring
- PATTY GRIFFIN
Luthea stands out from her peers- ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE
SUNBEAM SURROUNDED BY WINTER is the new bittersweet album from part Spanish and part Canadian singer/songwriter Luthea Salom, produced between NY and Skopje, (Macedonia) by Malcolm Burn and Luthea herself. This is her second album and it뭩 evocative, immediate, poetic, luminous, personal, innovative and though rooted in different cultures, it has a clear identity of its own.
One can see reflections of Luthea뭩 nomadic and bohemian upbringing throughout her well crafted songs. Having grown up, travelled and lived in different parts of the world, this young multicultural and multilingual artist brings her life together with her music, proving to be a carismatic unique universe worth discovering.

Endorsee Jim D'Ville Bio: Jim D'Ville has spent the last 18 years figuring out how music works, and the best way to convey that information to the adult learner. He is the co-author, with banjo legend Bill Keith, of /*The Natural Way To Music; An Organic Approach to Understanding & Playing Music*/, which Happy Traum of Homespun Tapes says "...brings the principals of music into clear focus for learning musicians." In the last few years Jim has turned his attention to teaching by ear, and has developed a number of techniques that teach people how to play music rather than simply memorize songs. He has recently released a DVD based on this approach entitled /*Play Ukulele By Ea*r/ and his popular /*Play Ukulele By Ear */blog is in the top thirty uke website worldwide. He teaches workshops and private lessons in Portland, Oregon and been featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting's /*Oregon Art Beat*/ as a "ukulele revolutionary". Jim also plays with the Portland quartet *Caravan Gogh*. http://playukulelebyear.blogspot.com

Endorsee Danielle Ate The Sandwich. I write songs about things I feel and things I wonder what it would be like to feel. I write about things I know and things I don뭪 know. I write these songs using my astonishing wit and candor and through the help of Wikipedia, and other untrustworthy internet sources.
My influences include Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Death Cab for Cutie, and Joanna Newsom. I love the voice of Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald and Blossom Dearie. Also, I listened to a lot of boy bands in middle school꿢nd high school and a little in college. I am influenced most, by words and language and the challenge of using them in new and different ways.

Born and raised in the coalfields of Virginia, Cassette Company recording artist Melvin Dillon looks to play his brand of music that he calls "Appalachian Soul." Taking the melodies of the mountains where he came from and the sweet sounds of soul he found on the streets of Chicago, Melvin's upcoming release "Roads Home Burn," takes a pivotal look at where he is going, where he came from, and what he left behind.
Currently based in Knoxville, TN, Melvin is touring the area and showing audiences the same stripped-down stories that he showed to the many people who came out to see him at all the different bars, clubs, and coffeehouses he played in Chicago. more
