Valerie Brazis
I met Valerie at myspace and fell in love with her song "Monroe Street Blues".

Born in Albuquerque, Valerie's music roots are firmly planted in the east mountains of New Mexico. Growing up in a musical family was not only an encouragement to her love of music, but a way of life for this young talented woman.

Ryan Holley
Young, handsome, talanted musician that seems to have swoon the ladies. What! don't believe me? Just check out the comments at myspace. Listen to his samples while you are there. Lives in Dallas and gets around the southwest. He is very enterprising with his free time. You can buy a ticket to see him or if you can't make the show why not grab his CD and it is all at myspace.com

Matt Jones is a very talented individual in my opinion. He also happens live in my neck of the woods here in Albuquerque NM. His music is clean and refreshing. If you get a chance check out his CD titled: Better Transitions.

The emphasis in Matt's music is on songwriting, vocal ability, and rhythmic nuances. While Matts songs are resoundingly pop-oriented, he likes to entice listeners with interesting arrangements and subject matter. These elements tie together to make music that has great replay value, and is easy to remember.

Melissa Mulligan
Melissa Mulligan has the touch. In her best songs and best vocal performances, she makes pop-rock magic.
Jon Sobel, blogcritics.org, Brooklyn, NY

I have a feeling Keith Richards would dig Melissa Mulligan.
Frank Critelli, singer/songwriter, New Haven, CT

Melissa is petite and always smells nice.

I can't get enough of her voice.

Band Website

The Rythm Fish are a group of people dedicated to the proposition that music should be as much fun to play as it is to listen and dance to. With a unique mix of material from the likes of Susan Tedeschi, Jonny Lang, Ronnie Earl, and The Iguanas to classic standards from Delbert McClinton, The Allman Brothers, LittleFeat, Bonnie Raitt, and Sheryl Crow; Rhythm Fish hits the spot with every performance. Covering a wide range of styles from traditional blues to progressive blues, southern rock, classic rock, soul, and blues/jazz; this band of long-time musicians has big fun and it shows in the quality of their music. It has been said that these may be some of Albuquerque’s finest active musicians

Rise of the Undead

Rocketz
We are a three piece power-billy band from So Cal. We love all styles of music and pull from those influences and try to create our own "Rockabilly" sound. Incuding heavy Punk and Rock and Roll influences. We love to play out, tour, and we dig making new friends too!

Lynn Rosenthal
Not just music, thoughts and words too... Writing and playing for guitar four years now, still with the same objective: following the creative energy that guided her onto the path of singer/songwriter. Lynn Rosenthal continues to re-define and refine her unique guitar style and lyrical sensibilities while somehow managing to sound familiar to the ear. She also seems to be fond of writing about herself in the third person. After spending many years in Jersey, I've now relocated to beautiful New Mexico. I'm looking forward to finding some cool venues in the Albuquerque area. I'm not in performance mode right now, but If you know of any, please drop me a line. Peace...

Rudy Boy Experiment
He's got the type of music that will soon be taking the Southwest by storm. So stated a young reporter of the Valencia County News Bulletin in a feature on Rudy Boy Jaramillo. Once you hear his jazzy funk style of swingin dirty blues - with that true rock and roll feel - its easy to see that she could very well be right. Rudy "Boy" Jaramillo is a native New Mexican who plays his guitar for the chance that it might touch that one person who needed it most at the right moment.

UpAllNight
A Little band out of Texas with a BIG blues sound.
