Darry Miller and the Veil

From an early age, Darry Miller's life has been filled with music. His mom took him to his dad's gigs as a baby and when he got his first drum set at three, he showed an intuitive ability to play. It wasn't long before he was sitting in with his dad's band, cutting his teeth on rock and roll. As he got older, he began playing around with his dad's digital recording equipment and spent his formative years alone in the basement with it, experimenting with the layering of sounds, tones, harmonies and beats, igniting a true passion for music and an understanding of how powerful it can be. The solitude Darry found in his basement while recording those first songs lent an intimacy to his lyrics that he carries through to his songs today. Trying to understand life, love, loss and ambitions are a constant theme and are easily related to by his growing fan base. That fan base started when he passed some demos around to his friends at school and continues to expand as more people are turned on to his unique combination of pop, funk, blues and Americana. In 2009, Darry signed with the independent label Ripple Creative Records and now tours with three very talented band members.

Turning Violet Violet

I am immediately drawn in...Think Incredible String Band and The Roches with a dash of Laura Viers thrown in.I get to chat with Sarah Gulish who founded the band with her husband Brandon ....”"Our influences come from a lot of different places.Sarah Pisano who plays viola in the band was only playing classical music before she joined us”.The quintet is rounded out by bassist Steve Wittig and Jeff Scott. The creative process is a total collaborative effort at this point...The band has been rehearsing heavily in preparation for the upcoming shows.”We love to be together.We eat dinner and then practice for hours.We love to play together.”This certainly bodes well for a young band.My last question is about the name.”My husband loves Willy Wonka.”Oh,of course,the always gum chewing Violet Beauregard who turns purple after chewing the purple gumball.I should have known.It makes sense." RANDY BUCKSNER - TRI STATE INDIE

Sarah Blacker

Sarah’s approach to music is that of an artist inspired by each passing nuance and minute detail. She admits, “Life is too complex to even begin to understand, so I make sense of life through song.” She now writes almost daily, finding a place for her unique voice in a variety of different Sarah Blacker styles. “I always believe the songs that are meant to stick around will stay, and some will fall by the wayside,” Sarah explains, “Some songs might find their life-span to be but a sketch, and others may disappear for a while, and then resurface. But some just write themselves in a few minutes, and stick hard. Some just want to stick around.”

Dann Ottemiller - Hexbelt

Ottemiller's stream-of-consciousness lyrics, delivered in a husky drawl and loping, lusty rap, come straight from the soul. The biting philosophical, psychological, political, social and sexual commentary of his songs comes across in cryptically coded messages allowing the listener multiple interpretations. His unique rhythmic approach on guitar fattens up and battens down the band's full sound as well.

J.D. Sage

Disenchanted with the Nashville publishing machine, in 1999 J.D. formed his own band, The Guilty Plezures, including guitarist Michael Kelsh (Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle) and bassist Jack Sundred (Poco).A c.d. was produced, titled “Guilty in a Sense”, by Bill Halverson (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young) recorded at the Sound Emporium studio (Willie Nelson, Dierks Bentley) resulting in a successful tour of the mid-west and mid-Atlantic regions.

Billy Rogan

Billy Rogan is a well-versed guitarist know mostly for his instrumental acoustic work, whose influences include the styles and techniques of artists such as Michael Hedges, Leo Kottke, Keller Williams and Kaki King. His original compositions reflect a unique combination of classical and modern fingerstlye with hints of new age sounds that blend forms with these intricate details of inspiration. Rogan's skilled touch brings stories to the strings in wordless tales of heartfelt bits and pieces, shifting rhythms and tempos - all with a soulful, fiery feel.

In 2008/2009, Rogan was awarded the opportunity to study with Tim Reynolds of the Dave Matthews Band, was selected Top Twenty out of three-thousand applicants for the Mass Transit Authority (MTA) of New York/New Jersey's - Music Under New York (MUNY) rostered musicians for his unique talent, as well as voted "Best One Man Musical Act" by The Abington Journal - a local publication in Rogan's home town of Clarks Summit, PA.

Adam Arcuragi & The Lupine Chorale Society

One of today's fastest-rising Indie-folk/alt-country troubadours, Adam Arcuragi, has been reeling in addicted fans on both sides of the Atlantic lately, with the music that he calls "Death Gospel". Born in Georgia and raised in Philly, Arcuragi [pronounced ärk; er; a; jee], is a guitar-slinging southern boy who can tell you a thing or two about a thing or two… especially when it’s in the form of a song.

The Vinegar Creek Constituency

The Vinegar Creek Constituency channels the venerable old ghosts of the American folk tradition through inventive, imaginative original songs delivered with Rock and Roll intensity. Like their forerunners in the roots music of Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, the whaling towns of New England, and the Oklahoma dustbowl, their songs call out from the crossroads of light and darkness. They are dreams of Heaven alongside visions of Hell; songs in praise of love alongside tales of murder and the madness of lovers betrayed; songs that ride the rails, wander the countryside, rise from the grave, and sit center stage at the apocalypse. Vinegar Creek Constituency offers their new songs to the musical continuum to join their voices with the echoes of those who sang before them.

Johnny Mainstream

One quality which seems to separate the great artists from the mainstream is their ability to succinctly tell us what we already know. That is to say, they can tell us how we feel. Listening to a Johnny Mainstream record is the equivalent of suddenly being privy to a great secret; suddenly, you have words to explain your own emotions and angst. And suddenly, you don't feel as alone anymore.

Michael James Anderson

After listening to the opening track of "Wake Up For The Shake Down," you might get the impression that Michael James Anderson is trying NOT to be heard. The album, MJA's first as a solo artist, contains twelve tracks full of whisper sung vocals and stories of alcohol fueled nights followed by mornings of repent. Overall, seeds of hope are planted throughout the mix. For the past eleven years, Connecticut's "Flu" has been the main musical outlet for MJA, being one of it's founders in 1998. With numerous tours under his belt and 3 full length records with Flu, (2003's "Remedy," 2005's "Amalgamation," and 2009's "For Love and Brother), Michael is currently working on his second full length solo record titled "Restless Sea", scheduled for a summer 2010 release.

Olds Sleeper

Olds Sleeper derives his lo-fi sound utilizing banjo, guitar, mandolin, cigar box three string guitars, harmonica, dobro and found objects. His recordings are extremely varied, from full on distorted off-kilter rock to whispered introspections with acoustic guitar and harmonica. All are done with a vocal that is earnest and uniquely Olds.

Olds Sleeper was raised in the rural areas of Pennyslvania, heavily affected by the stretches of woods, cornfields and hidden streams he used to explore as a boy. Olds strives to create a blend of folk, old time, rockabilly and country-inspired tunes, but with an aesthetic that often reverberate with loud drums that drive the sound towards a concoction he describes as "fuct". Reverb is a favorite sound effect as Olds strives to capture the 'transcendent mumblings he hears in his head".

Darcie Miner

Darcie Miner probably started singing as soon as she could talk. Thanks to her dad, she gained a very early knowledge and appreciation of the history of rock and roll while being exposed to a diverse range of musical styles – classic rock, R&B and even metal. Darcie started playing guitar at age 11 and made her first rather inauspicious debut performance at 13. In her own words, "I was so bad then." It didn't take long to develop an emerging talent, however.

The Mumlers

"Perhaps the Mumlers were channeling the spirit of William Mumler, a mid-19th-century man famous for claiming he could photograph ghosts, but once all [six] band members touched their fingers to a Ouija board's planchette, the board, they claim, spelled out their group's name. Regardless, it's clear their swaggered ruckus pop channels dead folk musicians galore. Despite the ghostly origins of their handle, the Mumlers' live appearances tend to turn into lively celebrations, with the outfit dancing about the stage. Their repertoire of instruments rivals any philharmonic's and includes guitars, drums, upright bass, various keyboards, euphonium, French horn, trumpet, clarinet, tambourine, pedal steel, and recently, eagle whistles from Mexico." -Alex Felsinger, San Francisco Bay Guardian

"The loving work of kids chasing pure soul with whatever tools are at hand." -Dennis Cook, Jambase

Bill Cave

Bill Cave borrows from a life experience that would make a great book but ended up in song. To find his way, he hit the road at 23 and has never looked back. Like “Into the Wild,” but with an alternate ending so is the life of SymplyBill. Storytelling is a passion, and it is a talent SymplyBill possesses. In one song you might find yourself somewhere in Texas burning up the highway, just a doin it to it, yet in another you’ll be floating through the snowy trees chasing a snow princess in upstate Vermont, and then you might be in the mountains of North Carolina standing in the rain crying out to your best friend. Most find at least one song, if not all, just hits home. Do you want music that moves heart and soul? It has to be written with heart experience…“Sound Experiment.”

Bern Kelly

“The Damage” the title, came to me while on tour somewhere in north Georgia. I knew not only would it make a good song title, but a great rock album title. The phrase “Before the damage sets in” echos the tone for the bulk of the songs… which find me visiting again with themes that frequent my writing: heartbreak, loss, deception, and unanswerable questions. It’s interesting to me that when presenting these ideas in the arena of country music, they fit right into the core of what classic country was built upon…”Your Cheatin Heart”, ”The Last Word in Lonesome is ME”, etc, etc. However, sounding these ideas again and again in the “rock” realm, can, at times, come off a little redundant with one angst driven song after another (ala the 90’s right?)
Well, last time i checked, I grew up in the 90’s. So with that said….this record apologizes for nothing.

Girls Guns & Glory

Girls, Guns & Glory formed in Scituate, Massachusetts in the winter of 2005 when former band-mates and high school friends, Ward Hayden (lead vocals/acoustic guitar) and Bruce Beagley (bass), teamed up to record Ward’s original compositions. They entered Noise in the Attic Studio and began work on the GG&G debut CD “Fireworks and Alcohol.” The success of that release fueled the formation of a 5-piece lineup that began to work the New England club scene in earnest. Their sophomore release, “Pretty Little Wrecking Ball”, in February of 2007, proved to be the catalyst in a break-out year for the band as they collected 2 Boston Phoenix awards, numerous articles in the press, and lots of radio play - culminating in a Boston Music Award for “Outstanding Americana Act of the Year”. The band solidified it’s lineup as a strong 4-piece featuring John Graham on drums and Colt Thompson on guitar.

Break the Horse

Break The Horse has risen from the ashes of faltered heroes to have been smitten by the absurd. The music drowns itself in greys. Leaning towards the heavens and falling back to earth.

Dual guitars form walls of mysticism and noise, bass bleeding, titillating the senses while the drums wipe out any thoughts your mother had of the good ol' days. Words are melded into the these sonic textures as the horse that can't be broken is set free.

Look for more from the Infidels soon, and thanks Ian. Great tune.

Ursula

Ursula were formed in August 2009. Brought together by the creative song writing of Chris and his drive to find like-minded musicians, Chris was soon joined by guitarist Matt whose percussive riff-based approach to music complemented Chris’ melodic style. Finding George as lead vocalist brought an end to the seemingly endless search for the perfect singer. His well controlled uniquely haunting voice an ideal contrast to the music created by Chris and Matt. Finally Annie was brought in for bass duties, her energy and funky influences bringing the bass alive in a way so many bands fail to be able to achieve.

Now all we need is an awesome drummer, one without another band! We’re currently seeking, so if you’re a fantastic drummer and love what we do, please get in touch!

"You can explore the universe looking for somebody who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and you will not find that person anywhere." -Buddha

I write songs. I'm putting out an album sometime in DECEMBER (yes that date has annoyingly changed a bazillion times), It's a really different style that feels like folk, mixed with blues, mixed with solitude and a lil sarcasm. I live for Lucky Charms and cookie dough and poker. And I like to make music, that's it.

Stinging Nettles

John Huebner (Vocals/Guitar) has been recording and writing music since the early 90’s and in 2006, decided to start another band... He recruited Andrew Jacobs- formerly the frontman/songwriter for bands such as Element & Altercana. Dylan Labiak joined in April ‘09 to fill the spot left vacant by previous drummer Marshall Fischer. The band’s newest addition is Flyin Ryan - adding a lead guitar to the mix- something Stinging Nettles has not had since it’s very earliest days. Ryan is previously in the band “The Butchers”, but when they broke up, we snatched him up and have begun rehearsals with this new incarnation of the Stinging Nettles’ signature “Fuzz-Folk” sound! Stinging Nettles is now playing shows in support of their record “Tread Softly” which was recorded and mixed by Andrew Jacobs & John Huebner at their studio/rehearsal space in Lancaster, PA. Mastering was done by Garrett Haines (Tape Op/EQ magazine) at Treelady Studios in Pittsbugh, PA. The album is available at iTunes & CDBABY.COM

The Dropzines

The Dropzines’ singer/songwriter/guitarist, Shawn Stabley, has been composing and performing melody-intensive music since he was a teenager. From 1988 to 1991, Shawn wrote, sang and played bass for the NYC alternative rock group, The Dutch Provos. In ‘91, Shawn, along with fellow Dutch Provos’ guitarist, Tim Archer, founded The Most Sordid Pies. The Pies, as they became referred to by fans, recorded their debut LP, “Grit & Sunshine,” along side producers John Siket (Sonic Youth, Phish, Yo La Tengo) and Kramer (Shimmy Disc Records), utilizing legendary rock recording facilities, Bearsville and Power Station Studios. The gritty, yet euphonious acuity of “Grit & Sunshine” would, without a doubt, have gotten The Pies their ”just dessert” had its release not been suddenly halted by the bankruptcy of its label’s parent company, Power Station Records. Sadly, The Pies would not recover from the harsh turn of events, and “Grit & Sunshine” would never see its release date, as they disbanded in 1995... ..

Aaron Daniel Gaul

Aaron Daniel Gaul, known to many as ADG; is an accomplished singer/songwriter/musician. ADG has been writing music for 20 years, and has a solid 10 years of on-stage entertainment experience, which has taken him to venues in Colorado, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and most recently here in Pennsylvania. Mainly a local musician, he has performed in venues such as Dragonfly, Appalachian Brewing Company, Gullifty’s, Lancaster Dispensing Company, and the Giant Center. ADG’s solo acoustic guitar show is a bit more than the average acoustic artists ... he plays vintage and classic rock covers, along with alternative, progressive, pop and modern rock, blues, reggae, country, funk, jam, new age, folk, bluegrass, latin, and jazz, as well as a variety of original music. The exceptional part of this one man show is; aided by phrase sampling/looping technology, he is able to layer rhythm, melody and harmony to produce a unique and original live sound, which always seems to capture the listener's attention and simply captivate them.

John Russell

Hearing John Russell for the first time was like finding a priceless gem. I remember like it was yesterday when he played at the First Capitol Dispensing Company on a Wednesday night. The man blew me away. Such a charismatic person with the voice you would expect to hear from an angel.

It is my pleasure to introduce John Russell to our listening audience. I know you will enjoy his music as much as I do.

Rhyne McCormick

Rhyne McCormick is a singer/songwriter from rural Pennsylvania. His self-produced third release (featured here) is entitled “Soul Dust”. If you like what you hear, you should down load his music and come to one of his shows. After the show, you should invite him to back to your house. He’ll sing in your kitchen and hang with you and your friends. Then, he’ll crash on your couch and in the morning, when you leave for work, he’ll pretend to be sleeping. Once you’re gone, he’ll get up and try on all your clothes, do his laundry, eat your ice cream and download your music to his Ipod (and you will love him for it).

Dorian Motion

"Named after the Dorian Greeks, the Dorian mode is one of the seven modes of modern music. The Dorian mode is equivalent to the natural minor scale but with the sixth degree raised a semi-tone ..."

Defying strict categories, Dorian Motion is an eclectic band from the Ambler, PA area. Song styles range from hard-edged rock ballads, to upbeat quirky tunes, to steamy torch songs-and each member contributes to the original songs the band plays.
Dorian started in 2007, when guitarists Jay Mitlas and Thom McGowan got together with drummer Ray Tag to revisit some older material from a previous musical life. With the addition of Mark Betterly on bass in 2008, a new sound began to emerge, and the band embarked on the search for a singer. Christine Hough was recruited to sing lead in May of 2009,
and the band's sound was rounded out with the acoustic guitar, vocals and writing talents of Janine Kelly later that summer. Still in its infancy, the band's tight sound, musicianship and enthusiastic following have propelled them onto the local music scene.

It’s his wish to have an outlet for his original music… in all its varied forms. He’s not really a solo artist, that's not his natural fit.

The hum of one man’s musical voice: Rod Goelz.

Neanderpaul

Live looping is my claim to fame. I play guitar, bass, piano, drums, etc. all live, layering instruments and vocals. Diversity is one of the things I pride myself on. I have been influenced by everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Fugazi, from The Ramones to The Everly brothers, From the Beatles to The Beastie Boys, from Jerry Reed to Ween. All of these influences combine and effect me on a creative level. That diversity shows up in all of my styles. I write, perform, and record A Capella, rocking instrumentals, pure pop, heavy rock, rhythm and blues, moody spoken word, and the ocassional love song. I started my musical life singing in the Church of Christ. The Church's A Capella singing lends itself to driving home an understanding of harmonies that I have carried with me my whole life. I was asked to sing in several bands as a teenager. All were a blast. Most never made it out of the basement.
