Boots : www.ottestad.com

After spending the last 3 years working on "everyone else's" records, he got sick and tired of the limitations of the major recording label machine and decided to make a record purely for his own satisfaction. With his blend of swirly English pop rock and traditional American singer/songwriting, he is ready to take on the artistic mayhem one more time.
In the mid 90s Boots formed the Getaway People with his best friends from Norway. They were signed to Columbia Records in NY and released two albums worldwide in 1998 (the Getaway People) and 2000 (Turnpike Diaries). After two full years on the road in the US and Europe, though alive to tell the tale, the band was no more.
Boots has worked with Robbie Williams, with whom he co-wrote "Come Undone", the second single of Escapology, as well as Tim McGraw, Thomas Dybdahl and Ashley Hamilton. His music with the Getaway People has been featured in movies like "Bring it On" and "Crazy/ beautiful", as well as in various TV shows, such as "Felicity" and "Dawson's Creek", and number of commercials- most recently his song "Good Life" was heard in the promo for the FOX TV show "Head Cases"

"Set to hip-hop-style loops and jazzy, blues-influenced instrumentation, "Six Pacs," and Turnpike Diaries as a whole, is reminiscent of G. Love & Special Sauce, Soul Coughing, Beck and other modern rockers. But Boots' voice often recalls older artists such as Dr. John or Leon Redbone. "(VH1)

Earlymay: www.earlymay.com

A highly charged and distinctive blend of soaring guitars, pounding drums and delicate harmonies, this quartet creates a raw, multilayered wall of sound, whilst paying homage to the likes of Remy Zero, early Radiohead and U2. Recently finding themselves on the same sell out bill as The Killers, Earlymay appeared unconcerned, unleashing their frenetic and driven sound on the expectant crowd - business as usual.

Cooper : www.cooperband.com

Every once in a while a band comes out with simply "the right sound" and undeniable radio-ready songs. COOPER has been together for less than a year and have already created a buzz in an industry searching for fresh blood and commercial viability. Based in New York , the four-member band has consistently penned energetic, big-hooked modern rock songs and the fever is spreading slowly over the city. Having already won two major songwriting contests (sponsored by BMI and Billboard Magazine) with their very first song "Another Round," Cooper has been chosen as the "featured new artist" on Continental Airlines "Hit Factory" radio show which will be playing their song "Beautiful" on every Continental Airlines flight worldwide for two months starting in September. Cooper will be the only unsigned band along with songs by U2, Coldplay, 3 Doors Down, Green Day and other artists.

Lori Michaels : www.lorimichaels.net

Born with the soul of a New Yorker, raised in Detroit, rooted in the spirit of the Smoky Mountains; Lori calls New York City home. Lori didn't mean to make a country album, but apparently DNA comes out no matter what you do. Lori listens incessantly to Elvis Costello, the Beatles, and Charlie Rich fiercely believing that the louder you play these artists the world becomes a better place proportionally. It's okay to think she looks hot playing ukelele. We all think that.

"She's a fine songwriter and musician playing piano, ukulele, Wurlitzer and reed organ - main stream country without the pitfalls the genre usually conjures up in sound" (Americana UK)

"Lori Michaels is the bright newcomer on the hemisphere of Country music….. The tender side of her (shows) up a couple of times and it's that fragile, tender side of her that makes the album" ( Billypop.de)
