| Michael Gellings Michael Gellings first established himself in the Madison music scene as the front man for Lost Between, a 2004 Battle of the Bands runner-up, and has now proven himself as an up-and-coming solo artist. The 24 year-old's debut solo album "Blue Owl", released in July 2006, culminates a two-year relentless pursuit of honest songwriting, delivered with high energy. The album, which exceeds an hour in length, was written, performed, recorded, engineered, mixed, mastered, and produced by Gellings. As a result of his musical versatility, Michael played every instrument on all 12 tracks. His live performances feature acoustic guitar and harmonica, combined with dark, rustic vocals. The result is a rooted-down sound that will resonate deep within the listener's soul, and then carry them into a hypnotic instrumental frenzy View Website - |

| Whitney Mann and The Boys Backed by her talented band ‘the boys’, a Whitney Mann show is can’t miss. Every song is sung and strummed with a type of intensity only found under florescent lights (‘damn near blinding’). With her cool blend of alt-country and folk, Whitney Mann’s rockin’ jams are as sweet as her ballads: wide-eyed, intense, seductive. Her songs ache like her broken heart. They will ache like yours when she’s through. Veiled beneath her whiskey-tinged voice and stream-lined lyrics exist the lives of farmhands, wayward criminals, sluts. Concealed beneath them are the stories of her life. And beneath them even further; beneath the pound of the bass drum and the slide of the guitar, beneath the walking bass line and the echo of reverberating claps, exists Whitney Mann’s philosophy on life. If you listen closely you can hear it. View Website - |
