He found 3/4 of the disbanded For The Love of Pete, and together, they have been forging music that will renew you're belief in real, heart felt rock and roll with country roots. And no, they ain't talkin' about Brooks and Dunn or Faith Hill. Look for the Hogs to bring their live show to a venue near you in the future. View Website - |

| Jessi Lynn "I was sitting on the bank of Percy Priest Lake, in Nashville, about two years ago. I had been going through a pretty hard time the years prior and was at a crossroad in my life. I remember praying a lot that day, asking for wisdom and guidence on which road to take in my life. I heard back from God as I sat there on the bank... he said to me "Be patient, but be ready"... and so I began preparing myself for what was to come." View Website - |

| John Eddie On the roller coaster of his career so far, John Eddie has had enough big breaks, hard luck, new beginnings, false starts, serious adventure and big fun to inspire a boxed set's worth of country songs. He's had the sort of life - often hard-scrabble, occasionally charmed -- that other artists only imagine, or have someone else write about for them. John has managed to document a lot of this on Who The Hell Is John Eddie?, his debut disc for Lost Highway, along with details of assorted dreams, wishes, romances, and regrets. He really has spent endless days and nights on the road, playing the "shit-hole bars" he so hilariously and accurately recalls. And he's endured the heckling of alcohol-fueled patrons wanting to hear Skynyrd and Petty and demanding to know, Who The Hell Is John Eddie?. View Website - |
| John Statz Given a guitar by his grandmother when he was 15, John quickly put his background in music from playing the piano and trombone to good use. After playing in a few different bands in high school, John began to delve into solo music upon entering college. Influences ranging from Damien Rice to Tom Waits and Keller Williams helped to morph his style into the unique sound he has today. John has played all over the Fox Valley in Wisconsin, as well as in Colorado, Iowa, and Michigan. He has played at the first annual "Midwest Acoustic Music Festival" in Elkhart Lake, WI, as well as the first annual "Local Music Festival" in Oshkosh, WI. As 2006 begins John looks forward to the release of his first full length album, "Dusk Came Slow", of which samples can be heard on his website, www.johnstatz.com. As a popular solo artist around the Fox Valley he is poised to break out into the greater midwest. 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 - |
