  Powerful vocals and rockin’ guitar driven sound - After being sidelined for three years with vocal nodes, Texas honky-tonk stalwart turned Minnesota heartland rocker Mary Cutrufello is back!

  Groundbreaking jazz, folk and funk - Classically trained cellist and singer/songwriter offers a fresh look at acoustic music. She holds and plucks the cello strings like a guitar. The instrument strapped around her small frame, she sings wonderfully diverse and memorable original songs that have roots in jazz, folk, funk and rock while not tasting like any specific genre. In her pioneering ways she succeeds in creating a sound that is groundbreaking and compelling. www.lindsaymac.com http://myspace.com/lindsaymacmusic |
  Houston pop/rock artist - Reminiscent of the best elements that made stars of Michele Branch and Vanessa Carlton. Paige signed her first record deal with Word Records at the age of 16. Sharing the stage with artists such as P.O.D., Switchfoot, and the Newsboys, Paige has captivated audiences nationally and overseas. After a sucessful run in California, Paige returned to Texas in the fall of 2004 and released The Best Thing. Filled with songs about the struggle of growing up, the album reflects the exciting and painful road that the 22 year old has been on over the past few years. www.thepaige.com http://www.myspace.com/thepaigemusic |
  American Songwriter - Original music that appeals to the finicky listener who orders her pop with a side of intellect. Her music is as unconventional as that of Suzanne Vega but has the pop sensibilities of U2 or The Police, which makes for quite a compelling combination." www.sarahglynn.com www.myspace.com/sarahglynn |
