| Kevin Lee Modern-day guitar rock is a funny thing. The elements and attitudes all seem fairly obvious from the outside, yet many writers fall short of the hooks and structures they need to propel themselves into the pop skyline. The best writers in the genre have a gift for profound simplicity and direct communication coupled with an ability to make three chords sound like the most important thing in the world . Chicago’s Kevin Lee is one of those writers. Kevin crafts highly melodic pop/rock and roll songs in a modern context. His sound is a mix of old school musical chops, vocal ability, and present-day guitar edge. A powerful singer, guitarist, and performer, KEVIN LEE is a pure pop/rock pleasure awaiting your discovery.

| 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 - |

| Nashville Pussy While they’ve been at it for the better part of the decade, the band -- fronted by the hard-livin’ hard-rockin’ husband/wife team of Blaine Cartwright and Ruyter Suys -- has never been more intensely supercharged than on Get Some. The disc, their fourth full-length and first for Spitfire, offers heaping helpings of neck-snapping guitar riffage and a full-on embrace of the sort of good-time decadence that’s part and parcel of life below the Mason-Dixon line. It also shows off Cartwright's razor-sharp wit, which permeates the disc with laugh-out-loud moments that'd do John Belushi proud. View Website - |

| New Kentucky Quarter, The With the Beatles humming into one ear and Jeff Buckley wailing into the other, The New Kentucky Quarter, honor their muses by crafting songs that marry the timeless pop breeziness of the former with the mystic explorations of the latter. Melodic guitar lines and warm male/female harmonies catch the ear while acoustic guitars, Wurlitzer touches, and a classy rhythm section flesh out the memorable, affecting songs. The New Kentucky Quarter formed in the early fall of 2003 and quickly recorded their first project, a nine song EP titled Simple Things. Earning comparisons to such diverse acts as Whiskeytown, Belle and Sebastian, the Jayhawks and Coldplay, the disc continues to open doors for a young band with a surprisingly mature and distinct voice. The band has been playing frequently around Wisconsin and its neighboring states, mainly focusing on their hometown of Madison. They embarked upon their first midwest tour in early 2004, and have made several well-received public radio appearances since. After recently winning two Madison Area Music Awards (Best Americana Album and Best Americana Artist), the band continues to play out and write new material with earnest, impressing audiences and making friends wherever they go.
