	"Jamieson “Junior” Brown was born in Kirksville, Indiana in 1952. He is an innovative talent who has toured with the likes of Bob Dylan and recorded with the Beach Boys. He first learned to play piano from his father "before I could talk". His music career began in the 1960s, and he worked through that decade and the next developing his astonishing guitar skills. In 1985 Junior invented a double-necked guitar, with some assistance from Michael Stevens. Junior called the instrument his "guit-steel". When performing, Junior plays the guitar by standing behind it, while it rests on a small podium/music stand. The top neck on the guit-steel is a traditional 6-string guitar, while the lower neck is a fullsize lapsteel guitar for slide playing. Brown has two guitsteels for recording and live work. Brown won the CMT Music Video of the Year for the song “My Thinks You’re Dead” and has had his songs featured in many movies including The Dukes of Hazard and Me, Myself & Irene.

	Robert Earl Keen is a legendary, talented American singer-songwriter whose appeal covers country music, folk rock, and alt-country fans alike. Keen is a true hero to many musicians having written songs for/with the likes of George Strait, Margo Timmins (of the Cowboy Junkies) and Lyle Lovett, of whom Keen lived next door to in Austin. Among the large contingent of talented songwriters who emerged in Texas in the 1980s and 1990s, Robert Earl Keen struck an unusual balance between sensitive story-portraits ("Corpus Christi Bay") and raucous barroom fun ("That Buckin' Song"). These two song types in Keen's output were unified by a mordant sense of humor that strongly influenced the early practitioners of what would become known as alternative country music. Including the likes of Todd Snider, Son Volt and more.

	Indie rock legends Nada Surf are back on the road in support of their latest album Lucky. And the band is indeed feeling just that……a bit lucky. Rewind back to 1996……..Nada Surf was riding high behind their surprise mainstream hit single “Popular” but was soon dropped by their record label. The band forged onward by releasing The Proximity Effect in 1998, Let Go in 2003, and The Weight Is A Gift in 2005. All the while the band managed to sell well over 50,000 units per release, not too bad for a band on an indie label heh? Nada Surf has consistently delivered quality singles and indie rock power pop and continued to build a strong fan base.

	Over the past year, there's been a grassroots buzz building in the Rochester, New York area surrounding rising singer-songwriter Teddy Geiger, a rapidly developing artist still in his teens. Teddy's soft-spoken charm, melodic gifts, way with words, and natural style have connected him to a steadily growing fanbase, which originated in local venues in his upstate New York and has since spread as far and wide as Florida and Hawaii. His independent regional EP release, "Stepladder" (on Cred Records) ranked at #1 in Rochester and made the Top 10 in Billboard's regional "Heatseekers" chart. Teddy wound up as a finalist on VH1's "In Search of the New Partridge Family," where he caught the ear of producer Billy Mann (Sting, Pink, Kelly Rowland, Jessica Simpson), who quickly became a champion of Teddy and his music, going on to collaborate with Teddy on several songs and act as producer for "Underage Thinking," Teddy's debut album. "Teddy is a waterfall of talent," said Billy. "At 17, he is an amazing and prolific songwriter with a signature-sound, an incredible voice and a point-of-view that's informed and mature. I can't wait to see how his career unfolds."
