"A Gettysburg PA singer-songwriter whose songs range from fun and funky to thoughtful, searingly honest personal stories."
Doug Spears, Florida's Native Troubadour, is the finest blend of storyteller and musician whose songs go straight to the heart of audiences of all ages and don’t let up from start to finish.
Carolann Solebello, formerly of female trio Red Molly, writes and plays roots music - with a New York accent. She is celebrating the impending release of her third solo CD, "Threshold," available in June 2011.
"If Shania Twain, Norah Jones, and Ingrid Michaelson harmonized camp songs in the car on the way to the beach, after an intense spiritual conversation on a swingset, it might sound like Maura Jensen."
"Pure and powerful, Perry's songs touch unguarded parts of us, and fill us with joy, nostalgia and longing. Once you see and hear Perry Desmond-Davies perform, you will never confuse her with anyone else. "
"Garrison Doles is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever worked with. He really knows how to put words and music together in a way that makes the story come alive. And he totally fills the role of performing songwriter. Great singer, guitar wizard and truly entertaining storyteller. Never pass up a chance to see this master at work."
He is a treasure and a triumph to the singer-songwriter world.
Holly Montgomery is a singer-songwriter, composer and bass player from Los Angeles who has produced three CDs that are widely available. She is the debut artist for Choice Hotels Music, an initiative that supports artists and directly benefits a featured charity through donations per download.
