CURRENTLY BOOKING SHOWS FOR:
~ANITA GEORGE - AUS
USA/Canada & Europe 2009
Powerful vocals tinged with soul. A wandering troubadour with a penchant for folk. Australia’s Anita George is a natural story-teller and evocative songwriter. Her tales of love, loss, travelling on trains with drunken men, hitchhiking through Mexico and Chile, and drug arrests of audience members midway through gigs are matched only by her trademark voice, carefully crafted slide & folk style guitar, occasional toots of the blues harmonica when requested, and charismatic onstage presence. Her tours of Australia, Canada, the United States, Mexico and South America have been met with universal acclaim. With an Indian Heritage, George blends and weaves extensive world-wide influences into her music with songs in English, French and Spanish.

~SAM BUCKINGHAM - AUS
Likened to the sounds of Frente, Feist and The Cardigans, with a taste of 1940’s jazz and a soft country swing it seems Sam Buckingham can’t quite fit into any one genre. The words pop, sweet and folk come immediately to mind but there is something stronger burning underneath – a deep emotional core that echoes in the lyrics and mood of every song.
Sam’s new EP My Own Horse was recorded over 3 months, mostly in the spare bedroom of friend and bass player James Vandyke’s home. Produced by James, Sam and her partner of two years Cj Morello, her signature pop croon is peppered throughout the EP but a new found maturity and a new kind of energy has found it’s way into each song. My Own Horse is Sam Buckingham’s musical awakening. Supporting the release of My Own Horse, Sam Buckingham is touring Australia in 2008.

~HANNAH MILLER - US
Since writing her first song at age four, Hannah Miller has known exactly what she would be when she grew up. Raised in Dothan, Alabama, and educated in the mountains of Asheville, NC, she now lives in Columbia, SC, where she has been hard at work for the last four years, developing as an artist and creating the career path she has know she would take since those early years.
After her first EP, Storms of Summer, was released in the spring of 2006, Miller's reputation as an up and coming singer/songwriter began to solidify, and the doors opened for her to make the trip to Nashville to record with two time Grammy Award-winning producer/engineer Mitch Dane (Jars of Clay). The record boasts an astounding degree of depth and maturity for a freshman LP; on it Dane and Miller have crafted gorgeous sonic landscapes befitting of Miller's smoky, velveteen vocals. Of the new record Miller says, "I wanted an album that everyone who hears it can find themselves in, and I think we accomplished that. The music is authentic, and listeners immediately identify that."
