Here is information about some great artists:
THE BLACKBIRDS
Although The Blackbirds history goes back to 1995, things didnt come together until 2001 when they were reborn as a quartet. Leaving keyboards behind and changing to a classic rock formation with two guitars, bass and drums they finally found themselves playing the music they really loved.
The two major songwriters in the band, Thomas and Thor, have combined for well over a hundred songs. As every song tend to have a life on its own, their music can be hard to categorize, but early influences by groups like The Beatles and The Faces mixed with anything between Metallica and Pink Floyd, gives them a diverse rock sound where (loud) guitars and vocal harmonies are the basics for many songs.
These four young men from Oslo have known each other for quite some time and that reflects in their music. Over the years The Blackbirds has become one of the best live bands in Norway.
RICHI MANTARLIE
Im exited to announce that Richi Mantarlie, a great blues guitarist and singer is coming to Norway early in November. I have heard some tracks from his new album and they are truly amazing. I just know that everyone will like this guy, he is great talent and his lyrics (written by songwriter Phil jackson) are amazing. I really recommend that you try to go and see him. I have managed to download one of his songs from his new album which you can listen to on this page. His album will be realeased at the same time he arrives here in Norway.
SILUET
They formed the band in 2001, and recorded their first song "Endless Moment" in 2002. In 2006 they began giging regurarly at the most celebrated clubs in Bulgaria. After that they went touring in Norway. They have also won the award of the National Radio in a song competition "Im Running". Siluet have now released their first album "The Road". At the present they are promoting the album in Norway. A band with a great future and worth seeing !
PEACH
Peach isnt exactly a new artist and this isnt exactly her Blues Rock Records debut. But when you have the singular pleasure of discovering this ever-fresh, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter-guitarist, whether its with her current masterpiece (no exaggeration) The Real Thing, her acclaimed live underground release Peach Live! (2002), which won her a coveted distribution deal with Morada Music, or her first recording, the EP The Cure for You (2001), then it doesnt matter that youre coming to the party a little late. As long as youre here...
The prestigious L.A. Music Awards have been dialed in to Peach from the not-so-long-ago beginning, naming her Blues Artist of the Year in 2001. Noting the Anderson, Indiana natives consistent quality as a musician and performer, this music industry arbiter of talent followed it up with an Award of Excellence in 2002. But the L.A. Music Awards wasnt the only one to give credit where its due.
VK LYNNE
V.K.Lynne was raised in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, then moved with her guitar to live in Philadelphia-that combination of 'earthy' and 'edgy' permeated her writing, and now radiates through her rootsy, blues rock style.
The new CD, Black Halo, is getting attention from fans and industry alike, as well as charitable organizations. A firm believer in artistic responsibility, V.K. donates a portion of all record sales to a deserving non-profit. She has worked with Hearts Giving Hope, The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and N Rock United ....
Currently, V.K. is planning a tour, and asking her 37,000 Myspace fans where THEY think the band should go- the towns that produce the most interest will be first on the list! Right now, ....Houston.... is in first place, closely followed by ....Dallas.... and ....Nashville....!
OLE ASK
Ole Ask & Ask the Band where established in the early -90’s
He have throughout the years had the honour of working with some of finest musicians around, in both Norway and USA. He is continuously writing songs for new albums, and so far realesed five albums, the last one called "Nine to go". He loves working in studios, and to do live shows for his fans is one of his favorite things to do. Brilliant musician and a live-artist !
PHIL JACKSON (Songwriter)
Phil Jackson is a successful songwriter who 6 years ago decided to travel and see the world, and now works throughout Europe and the Balkans, helping talented musicians and bands writing lyrics. Phil is currently working in Norway and Bulgaria helping friends to produce their albums and to be heard in the U.K. and America. He is also working on his own new album titled "You..re behind me now", which consists of mainly blues and ballads. Phil has produced over 350 songs in the last two years. There are a few samples of some of Phil..s lyrics and songs on this page. Phil..s work consists of all types of musical lyrics. Recently Phil wrote for Generation for their entry to Eurovision which can be viewed on Youtube, "running scared". Siluet has just released their wonderful new album "The Road" (well done guys!), which includes his lyrics on "Isolation" and " Think about these things". We anticipate the realease of Richi Mantarlie..s new album in the next two weeks, and there are many other new bands coming through whom Phil is helping.
The Booking Agency and Label Records Black and Tan Records/Crossroads (www.crossroads.nl) presents these artists:
BIG GEORGE JACKSON
Vocalist/harmonicaplayer Big George Jackson was born November 16, 1949 and in the Twin Cities he is known as the "authentic big man of the blues". He sings with a distinctive bass-rich voice only a six-foot, six inch gentle giant could be blessed with. Add his fat harmonica playing, dead-on phrasing, commanding stage-presence and instant audience rapport and it's easy to understand why the audience howl when he delivers his music.
BOO BOO DAVIS
Boo Boo Davis is a survivor and belongs to the last generations of musicians that write and play the blues based on first hand experience of a hard life in the Mississippi Delta.
He was born and raised in Drew, Mississippi in the heart of Delta. It was the richest cotton land in the South and the large amounts of field workers attracted the best musicians from the surrounding areas. The entire Delta region was rich with blues, but the town of Drew was a particularly fertile one. Charley Patton stayed near Drew for many years and several legendary performers spent time there. Sharecroppers sang loudly to help pass the grueling hours of work and without a doubt Boo Boo developed his loud, bellowing voice based on the singing he heard in the fields as a young boy. In fact, that voice, through the years has demolished many amps and speaker cabinets.
DOUG MACLEOD
Doug MacLeod is one of the last remaining bluesmen who learned from the old masters, lived the music, survived the life and carries forward that valuable tradition. Within the blues world, MacLeod is known for his superb songwriting, guitar wizardry, warm soulful vocals, wit and unforgettable live performances. At the heart of this is his knack for storytelling, bringing characters-from the faceless to the legendary-to strikingly real life.
