Kane Harrison who is from Victoria, Australia.

After realising at a young age his calling, Kane Harrison has since worked single-mindedly to fulfil his potential as an artist in music with a particular focus on guitars, drums and voice.
The hard work is now paying off and after being a finalist in 2007 in Australian Idol, the following year saw him become a grand finalist in Australia’s largest Country music competition, Telstra Road To Tamworth. This exposure then helped contribute to his debut single reaching number 6 in Australia’s CMC charts and continuing to chart for a further 17 weeks.

With a band comprising of members that have worked with the likes of Ian Hunter, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, the interest gained in DownTown Mystic has already resulted in a large number of top US radio stations playing the band’s material.

Drop Down Smiling - 'Why We Should Change'
Taken from the "Sign Here - EP" which is OUT NOW and available from iTunes and all other good digital retailers.
Drop Down Smiling are a four piece rock/electro band hailing from Nuneaton in the Midlands.
A strong mix of raunchy guitar riffs, electronic sampling and 4 part harmonies give this band a unique sound, the band pride themselves on the fact that people struggle to compare them to other artists.
The band are beginning to attract some very positive attention. Their debut release in 2012, a two track EP titled “Down From Your Skies” produced by Jason Wilcock, (noted for his work with We Are The Ocean and You Me At Six) was well received by the industry and music lovers alike, not least because the band launched it as a free EP which was not only available in digital format but the band also printed thousands of hard copy CD versions to hand out at shows.
After a year of gigging around the country the CDs were all but depleted. Appetite for the recorded music was growing fast.
March 14th 2013 saw the release of their second EP "Sign Here" a 4 track DIY release. The lead track from the EP "Why Should We Change" is accompanied by a music video which has been critically acclaimed due to the concept and strong environmental message portrayed in the video. The video has already earned the band a prestigious award "Ultimate Musician award" from beat100.com.
Check the video out here: youtu.be/h3rCr5xsNjA
March 2013 also marked the first time Drop Down Smiling played on foreign soil, after being invited to play at the sold out "Wizzfest" in Belgium. They are now back in the UK for a series of high profile shows including main support for "We Are The Ocean" in April and a support slot with "Rat Attack" in May. The band are also heading south later in the year with shows as part of the Camden Rocks festival supporting acts such as "The Rifles, Therapy?, Fearless Vampire Killers and many more"
The band are:
Chris West - Lead vocals and guitar.
Michael Brown - Lead guitar and vocals
Martin Dale - Bass and Vocals
James Porter - Drums and vocals.
Upcoming gigs:
05/05/13 Barfly, Camden
06/05/13 Vaults, Rugby- Support for "Rat Attack"

Side2 who are based in Florida, USA.

Bridging the gaps between generations and genres through their father and son relationship, the future is looking increasingly bright for Bob & Tyler Peshek aka Side2.

Jenn Bostic

Jenn’s debut UK single ‘Jealous Of The Angels’ was championed by Smooth Radio and Radio 2 with the video receiving more than 1.2 million Youtube views and Jenn performing the song on BBC Breakfast. In November 2012 Jenn made her UK live debut when she opened for Christian Kane and she is looking forward to returning for her own tour:

“It’s been a dream of mine to perform in Europe since I started singing and the tour with Christian was absolutely incredible. The reaction from the audience was overwhelming and now I’m really looking forward to coming back and playing my own shows. I’ve been playing acoustic tours across the US for the past three years and I love sharing my stories and songs and meeting new people.”

“With her powerful voice, emotive songwriting and infectious personality, Jenn Bostic holds a natural talent that has left live audiences stunned in wonderment and yearning for more.” TheMusicPress

Part of Nashville’s burgeoning DIY scene, Jenn’s music career began when she was 10 years old, in the back seat of her father’s car with her older brother on the way to school. A horrific crash that killed her dad, a musician who taught her folk songs like ‘Sunny Side of the Street’, and turned her on to Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt, changed her life forever. “The first time I sat down at the piano after the accident, I shut my eyes and honestly felt my dad's presence next to me,” she explains. “I poured my heart into those first few songs. The only way I could connect with him was when I played music. I still feel that way.”

‘Jealous of the Angels’ was produced by Barrett Yeretsian (the writer/producer of the hit “Jar of Hearts” for Christina Perri) and discovered by British DJ Simon Bates, who played it on his Smooth Radio show, where the song immediately jumped into the station's Top 10 Most Played for the week. BBC Radio 2 added the song to its playlist at the end of 2012 after Jenn performed on BBC Breakfast, as fan Fearne Cotton tipped off the show’s producers about the power in ‘Jealous Of The Angels’.

"Jealous of the Angels’ is so real, and Jenn is so real, and that kind of honesty is rare. Working with her is truly an incredible experience. I was honoured to be a part of a song so close to her heart." - Barrett Yeretsian

Jenn has won five 2012 Independent Country Music Association Awards, including Overall Winner, Best Female Country Artist, Best Musician, Best Songwriter and Country Music Song of the Year for “Jealous of the Angels.”

The Lora G Band who are based in Hollywood, USA.

Comprised of a group of incredibly talented musicians and singers who each have their own individual recording projects and albums, The Lora G Band are now creating huge inroads on the US music scene following the release of their debut album Streets Of Hollywood in January 2012.
Quoted as creating extremely memorable songs with thought-provoking lyrics, woven within unique melodies, musical riffs and massive guitar hooks, The Lora G Band have most recently had their track The Light released on the hit console game Rock Band Network which has since seen their profile increase significantly, not to mention invitations to perform at a number of top festivals and venues around California.

EUPHYMIS


Comprised of ex-members of the 6 time WAMI Award winning band The Fergusons and late '90s pop rock giants Hornbaker; Euphymis was a side project that has recently moved back into focus.
Described as “Powerful” and “Epic”, Euphymis, the brainchild of Wane Beadon and Martin Lubcke, takes influence from 80s arena rock, the 90s grunge movement and just a little classical influence from Japanese rock phenomenon X Japan.
Respected Perth bassist Grant Joyce (The Fergusons, Hornbaker) continues to collaborate. Affectionately described once as "a lead guitarist who doesn't realise he's a bass player", by X-press magazine; relating to his inventive bass lines and arrangements.
Martin Lubcke's guitar work is a combination of power and rock simplicity reminiscent of Jimmy Page and Kurt Cobain.
Wane Beadon has returned to lead vocals with a new confidence and intensity and plays an occasional piano to boot.
Euphymis are working on an album many years in the making, described by the band as "Unapologetic, Epic Rock".
