Patrick Thomas refuses to believe that every song had already been written. Whether it rolls over intricate finger-picking or crashes against a wild strum there is still something that has yet to be said.

He knows that the key to a great new song is honesty, and with the Detroit-born singer-songwriter, there is no filter. Patrick Thomas is an original and proves it with each performance and every recording. This is most obvious on his new release Build Me A City.

Patrick’s unique word-style has been with him since his debut Ghost Town Radio, but it took years on the road with his band, The Patrick Thomas Theory to learn how to capture raw energy and convert it into a captivating live show. Now, after playing showcases at South by Southwest and CMJ or opening up for the Black Crowes and Journey, Patrick gathered vigor of his former band and focused it into ten songs chronicling his own venture from Motown to Brooklyn, NY where he now resides. Paste Magazine has placed Build Me A City in their Paste Recommends program for November of 2008.

Syd is a singer/songwriter from Vermont whose love of "indie rock", driving rhythms and 50's pop has separated him from the growing legions of boys wielding guitars.

After playing hundreds of shows a year since 2002, selling a combined 3000 physical copies of his first two records and an astonishing 23,000 digital downloads, Syd brought his band (drummer Sam Smith, now Ben Folds' throne man and guitarist Dylan Allen, now also living in New York) into the deep woods of Chelsea, VT to record in a gutted barn what would become 2007's "The Way We Found It" a record that re-defines the sound Syd has been honing all these years. Produced by They Might Be Giants' Danny Weinkauf, "The Way We Found It" is a new sound, and altogether familiar.

Along the way, he's earned a spot in Music Connection magazine's "Top 25 Demos of the Year", a nomination for Coffeehouse Performer of the Year, showcases at NXNE and Nemo Music Festival, plus opening slots in front of Ari Hest, Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers, The Zombies and Hanson, among many others.

Considered "one of the most promising youngsters on the circuit," (SevenDays VT) Lisa Piccirillo is a singer/songwriter from Connecticut whose long-awaited debut record chronicles poignant observations with honesty and grace.

Produced by nationally acclaimed singer/songwriter, Syd, "Momentum" is not your standard girl-with-a-guitar fare. This satisfying blend of folk and pop allows the r&b tendencies and technical intricacies of Lisa's vocals to truly shine through, revealing a range of influences that include Deb Talan (The Weepies), Sarah McLachlan, and Mariah Carey. Her compelling writing provides a solid foundation for her hypnotic voice, which has drawn comparisons to powerhouse vocalists from Patty Griffin to Christina Aguilera.

Though her CD Release Tour will launch Lisa's solo touring career, she is no newcomer to the stage. In addition to touring with Gregory Douglass, Lisa has shared the stage with October Project, Edie Carey, and Peter Mulvey (among others) in legendary venues across the country such as Saratoga Springs' Caffè Lena, Boston's Club Passim, and the Living Room in New York City. Jump on the bandwagon as this record gains momentum.
