He has a classically trained voice that helps him propel his sound and style far above the rest. His writing style is as unique as his voice.

Bio/Tour:
Ahh, our first big love In the movie A Bronx Tale, the character Sonny says, Youre only allowed 3 great women in your lifetime; they come around like the great fighters, every 10 years. Every man has fallen for a Jody once in their life time: shes the woman that got away, and every now and then something reminds you of her– the smell of flowers that you never noticed before her, the deepest sorrow and the triumphant highs of our first love. Jody was my first great fighter. I am reminded of her soft smile and beautiful hair like a spring day you never want to end. When it did come to an end, I knew there was no going back and another great moment in my life had past. This is our song and this was our legacy.

Bio/Tour:
Cleveland-born David Wilcox is a father, a husband, a citizen and a songwriter. First inspired to play guitar after hearing a fellow college student playing in a stairwell, Wilcox is now 20 records into a career marked by personal revelation and wildly loyal fans. His lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice, virtuosic guitar chops, and creative open tunings, giving him a range and tenderness rare in folk music. Wilcox released an independent album in 1987, was a winner of the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk award in 1988, and by 1989 he had signed with A&M Records. His first release on the label, How Did You Find Me Here, sold over 100,000 copies the first year largely by word of mouth. His latest record The View From the Edge (2018) is a collection of powerful new songs, many of which he has been performing at live shows for the past several years. Its an album that reflects four years of thinking, writing, crafting, playing and life. In recognition of this new release, David Wilcox was named the Grand Prize Winner of the 2018 USA Songwriting Contest. Considered a ‘songwriter’s songwriter’, his songs have been covered by artists such as k.d. lang and many others. In addition to his writing prowess, his skills as a performer and storyteller are unmatched. He holds audiences rapt with nothing more than a single guitar, thoroughly written songs, a fearless ability to mine the depths of human emotions of joy, sorrow and everything in between, and all tempered by a quick and wry wit. In live performance, David loves making up a spontaneous song for an audience member in need. Anyone who has seen Wilcox perform more than once or twice has seen him concoct one of his Musical Medicine songs on the spot, full of lyrical artistry and musical inventiveness, like some kind of uncanny parlor trick. David Wilcox finds inspiration wherever he looks. The songs in turn provide inspiration to longtime listeners as well as those finding him for the first time. Its in the song and the craftsmanship; its medicine for the soul; its story; its a restless spirituality. Whatever it is, it serves many purposes, even for the songwriter himself. All these songs are the blazes on the trail, the stuff I need to hear in order to remember on a daily basis, he says, acknowledging his own path. It would have been easier if I could have heard these songs 20 years ago, but that isnt how it works. I had to live it to be able to sing it. David Wilcoxs ongoing musical journey is compelling and richly deserving of a listen. Rolling Stone

Bio/Tour:
Throughout his life, music has been Rob’s constant companion, comforting him in gloomy times and inspiring him in happy times. For Rob, there is no better way to express feelings than singing accompanied by his guitar. Growing up with horses, Rob’s professional path led him first into equine sports, especially into Cutting, a discipline of western riding, which is ridden on horses working cattle. For the past 10 years, he has successfully showed Cutting Horses in Europe and the USA and was on the board of the National Cutting Horse Association of Germany for 6 years, most of this time as president. Influenced by the cowboy lifestyle, country music owns a big part of his musical passion. In various performances at family and friends events, Rob was always told, to do more with music in his life. As a result, the desire to record 2 self-written songs in Nashville one day got priority on his bucketlist. Rob fulfilled himself this wish in March 2018. He had not hoped to come back to Germany with more than an office-burned CD with his 2 own songs on it for his CD shelf at home. However, his vocal coach and recording studio, Kristin K. Smith, saw things differently and as the song was recorded, she gave him advice to publish the song in different ways and to give music a new status in future. The debut single “Push That Horn” was an acoustic recording and got him over 20K Followers on Facebook in the first six month after the release in June 2018. From 10/21/2018 until 11/10/2018 he had been in Nashville to record new songs that he wrote in 2018 with his Co-Writer Kristin K. Smith, Skot Bradley and Pat Alger. ‘This Ain’t My First Rodeo’ is the first release of his new songs.

His first Holiday song has gained much success by airing on over 400 stations and the music video added into many Christmas specials . The exciting, newfangled track continues to gain interest from country music enthusiasts all over the world. as request cam in from as far as Australia. T.J .Sparks is no stranger to music. He has always had a passion for it and, in the past has played violin, trombone and bass guitar. He was a member of many bands growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. In the 90’s he formed his own group, unfortunately their efforts only went so far as the reality of life set it as most of the members had lives and families of their own, which did not fit into the world of music. Fast forward to 2015. By Chance, T.J. began listening to NASH FM and fell in love with Country Music. He thought to himself, how come country music is not getting the kind of attention it deserves here on Staten Island. Through research, he found out that there were many country music fans on Staten Island. He decided to start Sparks Country Entertainment and host events where country music fans could come and listen to the music, line dance or sing along, if they wanted to. He developed a country music following of sorts in Staten Island. Backtracking to the 90’s, T.J. stumbled upon the original music from his past musical adventures last fall while cleaning out his shed and thought to himself, we can countrified this awesome music and sent the tracks to various studios in Nashville who agreed that there was potential there. And so, here it all begins

Bio/Tour:
2012 – For the first time since the end of his career at Blue Horizon Records singer-songwriter Bernie Townsend was persuaded to embark on a solo career and he was signed to independent label Gravel Road Records & Music. In turn the Rights were acquired to a previously unreleased album as Gravel Road Records believed that the release of that Work was long overdue, and, in deference to the location of the legendary and long since gone Chipping Norton Recording Studio, Bernie decided to title his first solo album “Made On New Street”.

2014 – During September there began a series of events that launched the career of singer-songwriter Bernie Townsend to the wider mainstream audiences within the United States of America. This was kick-started by the release on You Tube of the acclaimed video of the song “Just Won’t Touch Me Now” featured on the album “Made On New Street” – this song was inspired by the experience of a close friend of Bernie’s on his return from the Vietnam War. The video of “Just Won’t Touch Me Now” has since been the subject of many thousands of views on You Tube and posts and comments on the Vietnam Veterans of America Facebook Page and has been adopted by VVA Chapters across the United States. In the light of the background to the song and the source of its inspiration, Bernie Townsend donated his share of royalties to the Vietnam Veterans of America in perpetuity.

2015 – In April the single “Just Won’t Touch Me Now” was released to US radio and in June 2015, the song peaked at # 17 on the Adult Contemporary ‘NMW’ Top 40 US Radio Chart and at # 34 on the AC ‘NMW’ Hot 100 US Radio Chart and # 7 on the AC ‘NMW’ Western Region US Radio Chart.

2016 – Bernie Townsend was been nominated in the category of “Adult Contemporary Breakthrough Artist of the Year” at the New Music Weekly US Radio Awards in Los Angeles for his US radio hit “Just Won’t Touch Me Now”.

2017 – Bernie Townsend co-produced the US hit singles “Tin Soldiers” and “Damaged” for UK singer-soongwriter Abigail Scott.

2018 – In September the new single “No Good Will Come” by Bernie Townsend was released on worldwide download and has since created a very positive storm of interest and support on the social media platform Twitter.

2019 – In January “No Good Will Come” is released to US radio where Bernie is hopeful there will be a repeat of his 2015 US chart success.

Some artist try to entertain the audience. Others, on the other hand, want to make them think with their sound. This is certainly the case of J Tizzle, a driven producer who set out to create a unique blend of hip-hop, electronica and R&B. J Tizzle managed to establish a fresh, diverse and kaleidoscopic sound with an old school twist, yet retaining the punch and clarity of contemporary production – Think Snoop Dogg and Biggie Smalls jamming to a Daft Punk track with the help of Pharrells savvy production value! The result is a sound that feels very personal, yet catchy and direct.
