‘The Gabrielz’ is a progressive folk electronic group that combines percussive dance beats with a back porch flavor. This hybrid creates a fun, carefree and happy attitude which embraces and shines light on the theme of the first EP, “a man who never grew up”. Having never owned a suit and never wanted to, the writer and vocalist of the project (Beau Hirshfield) embraces his Northern California roots - digitally organic. This juxtaposition in style contributes to the vast diversity of ‘the gabrielz’ sound with musical influence that span the likes of Paul Simon to Imagine Dragons. The first EP, “CARE FREE” carries an eclectic awkwardness, yet seamless assortment of sounds and lyrics. Centered in a declaration of finding your own way, self-discovery and personal freedom, this freshman EP is a call to action. If you confront yourself, state the facts and accept your flaws, success is unavoidable. Simply stated, “You be you, I’ll be me, and together we can journey as the Gabrielz.”

With an uncanny resemblance to Tom Cruise and musical comparisons to Radiohead, Waylon Jennings, and Led Zeppelin, Nicc Angeles is a tour de force onstage. Along with his band Mind Plow -- formed of veteran touring musicians -- Nicc performs his complex, well-crafted yet organic songs, melding county, rock, and R&B influences.
Nicc is the composer of the Mind Plow catalog. His music is a language of its own, comprised of the elements that bring true and unapologetic feeling into communication. The band came together when bassist Justin Smolian introduced guitarist Yogi Lonich (Chris Cornell, Buckcherry, Fuel, the Wallflowers) to Nicc. Drummer Andreas Brobjer (Lady Gaga) and keyboardist Matthew Jordan (Sabrina Carpenter) joined the group effort, and together they are Mind Plow.
Alternating between contagious melodies and patentable rhythms, Mind Plow has not failed to deliver in their lives shows in LA, Las Vegas and at SXSW. According to one newly converted fan, “They Blew the Roof Off of Austin. No One Ever Saw this RAW ENERGY! Ranked right beside RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and/or RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. You can't put them in a Box.”

RJ Comer is a Los Angeles city boy with swamp water in his veins who started out singing in church and around the campfire, but ended up in a lot bad places at wrong times. His brand of Americana & Blues reflects the kind of man he is and was – a tough guy with a tender heart, a lover, a fighter, and a joker, a man who confesses “I should be dead or in jail instead of living a life so good.” From downtempo gritty songs that cut deep with self-deprecating humor and jagged memories to upbeat songs that swagger even when they swing, RJ’s music is both meaningful and entertaining.
RJ’s powerful voice, his captivating live performances, and his infectious songs have been attracting attention. Talents as diverse as A.J. Croce, C.C. Adcock, and Matt Hyde have produced tracks with RJ. He’s toured with Steve Forbert and toured the American Southwest playing dates with Sara Hickman and Guy Forsyth. After a show in Albuquerque, representatives from the New Mexico Americana Music Society described RJ as “refreshingly manly.” John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) asked RJ to write the title track for John’s horror comedy “Smothered,” which is set in a Louisiana trailer park. Deering Banjo Company includes RJ on its list of featured artists alongside Bela Fleck, Dom Flemmons (Carolina Chocolate Drops), Detroit Brooks, Scott Avett, and Scotty Morris (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy).
Words are a funny thing. There are a select few people who can do something much more than simply speak or sing with them -- they craft them to make magic.
Peppina is that kind of artist. Give this gifted singer and multi-instrumentalist a phrase, and she'll turn it unexpectedly on its head. And that's just the beginning – this wise 19-year-old is as playful with music as she is with words. When Peppina puts them both together something special happens: an emotional alchemy that’s making people stand up and pay attention.
"I think one of the greatest things for people to feel is that someone understands you," she says of her strikingly original songwriting. "I always want to make that kind of connection, if I can. But if someone hears one of my songs and gets angry, that's great too -- it’s a powerful emotion that makes things happen."
Big Dream recording artists Alec and Becca King, known as the dynamic Pop/Hip Hop duo This Boy That Girl (TBTG), not only sing and rap, they also write and produce their original music – an increasing rarity in today’s mainstream music scene.
As a vocalist/rapper duo, TBTG’s collaborative musical offerings call to mind hit-makers such as Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, or Rihanna and Eminem. And while that’s great company, TBTG’s refreshing musical approach has helped them create their own niche within the pop/hip-hop music genre. Their latest 7-song release (“Breaking Bad,” now available on iTunes) features infectious harmonies and gritty verses, merging the best of both worlds while showcasing their individual talent.
Most recently, TBTG have opened for world tours such as Kalin and Myles’ “Chase Dreams” tour, Aaron Carter’s “Wonderful World” tour, and sold out their own headlining shows in their hometown of Los Angeles. They’ve just released a new video for hit single “Turn The Night Down,” their second video to be picked up by MTV Hits, and are already generating widespread buzz in the pop culture media scene.
