MATTHEW MEI (aka The PREACHER'S SON & YOU BRIGHT MINDS) - Having traveled the world as the son of a preacher man, Matt's initial introduction to the world of music was his dads classical, old blues and folk records, but it was his struggles in life and his soulful growth that fueled his desire to write emotional and heartfelt songs. Matt teamed up with Jonathan Anderson (Jonathan Inc.) at Buena Vista Studios to create a thoughtful album that showcased some of his favorite songs he had written over the years. Be sure to join Matt tonight to hear songs from his newest CD release, "Contribution to Sound", a solid rock/folk excursion with bluesy undertones, hip hop beats and a most welcome retreat from the current atmosphere of commercial and trite ready-made music. http://www.matthewmei.com
OR-GAN'IK - Get ready for the Organik Revolution, four brothers from Vancouver, BC who create mind blowing clever & pure soulful music. Blending hip-hop & R&B sounds and styles with pop-rock songwriting sensibilities, Organik have taken the music of classic acts like Sly Stone, Dr. Dre, Jimi Hendrix and Run DMC, tossed it into a blender, and created a sexy stylish fresh sound. Their high-energy live performances continually wow audiences and have them on their feet, with their bodies grooving with primal urgency and infectious party vibes. Organik will blow you away. The Organik Revolution has arrived. Don't miss it. http://www.organiktheband.com
TODD HILL - After many years of drumming in local bands, Todd decided that he wanted to dig deeper creatively and start writing his own music. "I had always been inspired by bands like The Verve and U2. They seemed to share something special with their fans." Influenced by British rock to alternative country, Todd's songs will stick in your head with their lyrical honesty and layered musical hooks. http://www.myspace.com/soundofone
REBECCA RAMONE fronts the local "Rebecca Ramone and the Wicked Radd", and released her debut disc last year. Her vocal mastery will leave you breathless. http://www.myspace.com/rebeccaramone
