Wed June 21: COLIN FISHER of SingThatYellThatSpell "Fisher has a way with strange chord shapes and menacing loops that fold into one another to make slightly creepy and altogether exceptional jazz compositions" :: http://myspace.com/colinfisher

THE MUSICMAKERS Four strapping young lads armed with tapes, axes and tenor voices bring you a collage of chorales and original songs about animals, sex, and Mandy Patinkin. Singing in harmony is so hot right now! Thom Gill represent!"

THOMAS G. WILSON "Personalized versions of old folk songs, Bob Dylan, Tom

Waits, Johnny Cash & Howe Gelb. His fiance sometimes accompanies him on violin or with singing."

Wed June 28: GABE MINNIKIN "Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and raised on a steady diet of Steve Earle, The Band and Emmylou Harris, Gabriel Minnikin and his sister Ruth always had music in the house. As a member of the alt-country sensation The Guthries, Gabe toured Canada and the U.K. numerous times, sharing the stage with such distinguished artists as Garth Hudson, David Byrne, Blue Rodeo, and The Rheostatics to name a few." :: http://www.gabeminnikin.com

DAVID MYLES departs from the traditional definition of roots music. Co-produced with Charles Austin (Joel Plaskett, Matt Mays, Buck 65), “Things Have Changed†features horns reminiscent of Al Green’s soul music, Mississippi John Hurt-style finger-picking, and smooth vocals that fall somewhere between Chet Baker and James Taylor." :: http://www.davidmyles.com

THE GET SETS "Influenced by peer pressure and violence on TV. Sounds like Ron Sexsmith, a bit o' Pavement, Eric's Trip, Mirah or the Microphones...you tell them." :: http://www.myspace.com/thegetsets
