Matthew Szlachetka is a New England native who grew up immersed in his parents’ record collection. He first picked up a guitar in middle school, inspired by electric players including Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Mark Knopfler and Ry Cooder, and the acoustic work of early Bob Dylan and Mississippi John Hurt. His new album "Waits for a Storm to Find " is his most personal statement, with lyrical vignettes drawn from relationships, tough decisions and learning, sometimes the hard way, when to move on.

Damien McFly is the moniker behind Damiano Ferrari,a driven, passionate and charismatic folk singer who bridges the gaps between old and new. His sound is a great compromise between the timeless vibes of country/folk and the catchy appeal of pop melodies with just a guitar, mandolin, double bass and drums. His innovative and personal approach led to some really interesting recording sessions: instead of booking time in a conventional studio, Damien set out to record his songs in different environments, in order to seize the natural ambience of each room.

The Egyptians have gone through many transformations over the years. It's a long story so we'll just tell you all about the current stuff such as who are the Egyptians? London front man Micky Steevo and his selected entourage, that's who. Currently Micky has just completed the Egyptians 3rd studio album titled “Rainbowmind”. This ten track rollercoaster of an album encompasses everything what the Egyptians are all about. Hopefully this album will be given the recognition that it truly deserves.
