George Barrett and Friends
With a dizzying musical vocabulary and an innate ability to speak directly to his listeners, the Ohio-based singer-songwriter blends 60’s and 70’s pop, jazz, American standards, soul music, and bossa nova, and he wraps everything up with careful songcraft that is precise, yet still conveys the spark of spontaneity. “I don’t know which genre my music fits in,” he says, “but I think it’s an honest reflection of who I am.”

Spike Sikes & His Awesome Hot Cakes
Like hotcakes themselves, the music Spike’s Awesome Hotcakes plays goes by many names. Soul. Swing. Rhythm & Blues. Jazz. Jump. It’s a sound that’s classic and simple, but when it’s done right, it hits the spot, and has you grinning from ear to ear.

Ashleigh Flynn and the Riveters
With a "tenacious swagger," critically-acclaimed solo artist Ashleigh Flynn recently dialed up the volume and debuted an all-female rock band. From Portland, Oregon, Ashleigh Flynn & The Riveters’ inaugural LP hit the streets in 2018 featuring a sound that hearkens back to early Stones and ‘70s psychedelic country rock.

Danny Click and the Hell Yeahs
An anything-can-happen mix of stellar songwriting alternating with blistering blues-rock. When Click brings it down with the strings-inflected “Blue Skies”, you can hear every breath in the room; when he launches into the infectious “Wait My Turn,” there’s not one person who can stay seated.
