Cary Brothers - (Set time: 10:15 PM)
Cary Brothers is an indie rock American singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. Brothers is best known for the single "Blue Eyes", which was featured on the soundtrack to the 2004 film Garden State.
With his songs influenced by everything from 1980s British New Wave music to 1970s folk music, Brothers has achieved critical and commercial success with his independent releases All the Rage and Waiting for Your Letter, both of which reached the top of the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts. "Blue Eyes" has been downloaded over 100,000 times and broke the Top Twenty on the iTunes singles chart. On the web, Brothers has also found success on MySpace, where he has over 7 million plays on his music page and built a solid base by communicating with fans.
While many artists focus their efforts mostly on radio exposure, Brothers went a slightly different route and pushed to get songs out to the public through film and television shows, leading a generation of similar-minded indie artists in the Los Angeles. Brothers' songs have appeared on the NBC sitcom Scrubs," the FOX mystery Bones," the WB's Smallville," ABC Family's show Kyle XY, "One Tree Hill," and the medical dramas Grey's Anatomy and ER." The original version of Brothers' song "Ride" appeared on the soundtrack to the feature film The Last Kiss, starring Zach Braff, Rachel Bilson, and Casey Affleck. Brothers has also performed on "The Late Late Show," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," Direct TV's "CD USA,"and Scrubs. In 2005, he made a guest appearance with London band Aqualung on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
Brothers found his musical voice playing regularly as part of the musical community at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles, and he has since toured across America and Canada with such acts as Liz Phair, KT Tunstall, Aqualung, Ben Lee, Matt Nathanson, Imogen Heap, and The Fray. He was introduced to UK audiences in 2006 by Tom McRae on the Hotel Cafe Tour, having initiated the Tour himself in the States a few years earlier.
Brothers released his first full-length album, Who You Are, on May 29, 2007. The video for the single "Ride" starring Brittany Snow is one of the few independent videos ever to be added to the rotation on VH1 in the U.S. In addition, the record won "Best Rock Album of 2007" by the Indie Acoustic Project. Brother's track 'Ride' has also been mixed by Tiesto and was a huge hit on the dancefloors of Europe in 2008.

Harper Blynn - (Set time: 9:15 PM)
Pete Harper and Jason Blynn, are known to themselves, and in turn by others, affectionately but usually appropriately, as "Pete and J". Pete and J tour nationally, all over the US of A, and occasionally in the UK. Most of the time, Pete and J are a band consisting of 4 people (a bassist and drummer in addition to the Pete and the J).
As you can see, they are based in New York City, where they flourish in the sweet exhaust and excitement of city life. They tour much of the year, however, so occasionally see both grass and trees.
A few albums are out there, including Without A Band and Dressed for Conversation, both available in links above and below.
A new album is forthcoming, and right now some new demos are here to chew on. Stay tuned, and come check out a show! See you soon.

That Old Feelin" - (Set time: 8:30 PM)
That Old Feelin’ is emerging on the music scene as a band that brings you an original mix of blues, soul, and good old rock ‘n’ roll. The music world today may be far different than it was back in the day, but to the members of That Old Feelin’, that doesn’t mean that musicians should be compromising their values. For this band, music is what motivates and inspires every aspect of their lives. Whether they are on a big stage playing to a huge crowd or playing to passersby on the street, the excitement of the music is brought out and shared. The closeness to the music that this group of people share is displayed with each show they play, and anyone who witnesses a performance will know what it means to be connected to people and uplifted through music.
That Old Feelin’ is a five piece band, and with each member some unique influences are brought to the table. Slide players like Fred McDowell, Elmore James, Earl Hooker and Duane Allman heavily influence the guitar playing of Parker Richey, as well as the original masters like Buddy Guy and B.B. King shining through in the playing of Scotty Mlodzinski. Drummer Tony Papamarkakis and bassist Forrest Pettingill tend to take the band into funkier, and sometimes more rockin’ territory, with influences like James Brown, Jimmy Smith, The Meters, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and the Black Keys. Hanna Leess is a vocalist that evokes the spirit of soul masters like Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, and Solomon Burke, while bringing uniqueness to her voice that is certainly only hers. While showing respect musically to the people who have influenced them, the band has created their own approach to music that comes from strong originality in songwriting and complete dedication to the mastery of the instruments they use. Some people call it soul, some people call it blues, and some say its rock ’n’ roll. That Old Feelin’ may just be all of that, with a healthy dose of funk thrown into the mix.
