Americana singer-songwriter Daniel Pearson will release his new single 4th July on June 17th. The immediately infectious track (hot on the heels of his acclaimed 2015 Alone, Together album) is a freewheeling slice of his songwriting talents that welds driving guitars, Johnny n’ June vocal harmonies & raucous harmonica into an ironic tale of love gone sour that fizzes by in under three minutes.

Daniel has released three albums to widespread critical acclaim around the world. Writers for Uncut Magazine, R2 Magazine, Nashville Gab, The Daily Mirror, Drowned In Sound, No Depression, Americana UK, PopMatters, Baeble Music & many more have been quick to praise timeless songwriting that fuses poetic lyrics to classic country & rock dynamics. His songs have been aired by influential DJs on NPR, BBC Radio 2, BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing, KROQ, Lightning 100, Amazing Radio, Triple J, Double J & more. TV has also made use of his emotive vocals & melodies, with his songs soundtracking hit shows in the UK. With albums praised for their lyrical skill & willingness to incorporate garage rock, blues, folk and gospel influences into his core country sound, 4th July offers a more direct example of Pearson’s ability to craft nagging pop melodies within a story of betrayal & independence between two lovers.

In addition to winning over media tastemakers, Daniel has also been a word-of-mouth success story online with thousands of fans regularly sharing his songs on Twitter, YouTube, Soundcloud & Spotify. This loyal fanbase has powered him to 20,000 iTunes downloads, over 300,000 streams & successful solo tours of the USA & UK.

4th July is an attention-grabbing introduction to an artist with a wealth of great songs. In an age of conveyor-belt rock & disposable cookie-cutter pop, Pearson is proving himself as a genuine talent built for the long run.

Kerosene

Alessio “Alex” Vigo – Vocals
Elvys Damiano – Electric & Acoustic Guitars
Marco “Billy” Vitantoni- Bass
Saverio “Save” Federici – Drums
 
The band were born in 2006 with their first demo to attract live promoters and build local following. Working hard over the next 2 years they were recognised as a high quality alternative metal band playing the Italian unsigned live circuit.
 
2008 Kerosene grabbed the attention of the media with their self titled debut album recorded at the Lightless Studios Terni Italy. Released in 2008 through New LM Records and distributed in Italy and Europe by Masterpiece. The songs were described as “a fist on the stomach”, powerful, dynamic and melodic. The album was well received by the critics and appreciated by the fans, giving the band the chance to gig all around Italy.
 
After the release of “Kerosene”, the bands  line-up changed, bringing in Marco “Billy” Vitantoni on bass. 2010 the band joined Carlo Bellotti’s Alkemist Fanatix Europe for management, promotion and booking activities. As a consequence of this collaboration the album “Face the Real” was recorded at the Real Sound Studios in Parma Italy. The album was mastered by Jamal Ruhe at the West West Side Studios USA and self released on October 30 2011.
 
2014 the band went through another line-up change: Saverio “Save” Federici joined the band as new drummer; previously toured with allot of bands among which Eric Martin from Mr Big.

like postcards from an earlier, purer, more positive time’ - The Sunday Herald on Stephen’s previous album Today Tomorrow

English-born, Scottish-residing singer-songwriter Stephen Harrison delivers this intimate and heartfelt new folk record Cherry Fair.

Having written his own songs since he was a teenager, Stephen got into music through legendary sixties acts such as The Doors, Simon and Garfunkel, Donovan, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan and George Harrison – the music that his older siblings would listen to.
 
‘As a teenager I was writing folk songs on acoustic guitar. Aged 16, I would strap my guitar on my back and head off 'on my moped' to places such as the Barnoldswick Folk Club.’
 
During the late seventies, Stephen’s musical interests shifted. Attending the Edinburgh College Of Art in 1977, he was founding member of the post-punk band Metropak. The band supported the likes of The Rezillos and Josef K, and received airplay from John Peel.
 
Having since disbanded, Stephen has now returned to his folk roots. His new album draws on his experience, exploring an array of pensive topics from unrequited love to reconciliation to the brevity of life.  The subject matter deepens as the tracks progress.
 
Although minimal in sound, Cherry Fair is the result of a lot careful time and effort, Stephen going to great lengths to achieve the perfect sound using unconventional guitar tunings and a particular picking style. Vocals are often recorded multiple times so that he can achieve the exact phrasing. The result is a very clean and polished record.

 
As well as having a passion in music, Stephen is also a keen painter. Emotional tone plays a key part in his interest in the arts.
 
Artists that Stephen can be compared to include the likes of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, early Lou Reed and Richard Hawley.
 
Cherry Fair is out now

RIVITA 

Hailing from the colourful city of New Delhi, India, Rivita is a 20-something singer/songwriter practicing her art in the city of London. Her new single Silent Nights is out in July. 

She has been making waves in the underground music scene in U.K. over the past couple of years having performed at numerous prestigious venues including O2 Islington, Westfield London and many more. Ever since Rivita was a little girl, she has been fascinated by music. At the tender age of 5 she became a part of her school's choir and performed regularly various events and functions. As a teenager, Rivita picked up the guitar and there was no looking back. Her love for music brought her to London where she was offered a place to study at the prestigious British and Irish Institute of Modern Music (previously known as Tech Music School, London). Studying under the guidance of the world class faculty of BIMM, London was a holistic experience for Rivita. Here she thrived as a musician and found her own sound and embarked upon a musical journey of being a singer/songwriter. This is where she first formed her band and started performing in and around London and meeting wonderful people along the way. 

During the course, Rivita not only grew as a performer but also as a music composer and producer. After graduating from BIMM, London her impecable intuition toward composing for Film and Television led her to pursue a Master's degree in Composing for Film and Television at the reputable Kingston University. Being the youngest individual on the course, she faced many exciting challenges and excelled at them. Being professionally conversant with softwares such as Logic X, Sibelius and Pro tools, Rivita quickly gathered many skills that could benefit her career as a Singer/Songwriter, Composer, Producer and a Music Educator. 

In the last 4 years, Rivita has been actively involved in Ethnic music and has performed with Brazilian percussion group BLOCO LCM and Paraiso School of Samba at events such as Notting Hill Carnival 2015, Pride London 2015 and many more. She went onto study World Music during her Bachelors degree at BIMM and eventually did a research project on "Ethnomusicology in Film Scoring" for her Master's degree. Her enthusiasm for World Music and percussion adds a unique streak to her music. Listeners often hear hints of her Eastern roots in her music. Taking inspiration from her research into Ethnic music and her background in Popular Music, her music blends in various cultures, thoughts and sounds, 

Beware of Rivita's catchy hooks while listening to her music, they might get stuck in your head and stay there forever! Her songwriting skills have won her the semi-finalist position in the UK Songwriting Contest 2014 for her song Fly Away. While Rivita has been practicing a Pop/Rock sound with a golden hint of East, her upcoming music is moving towards an Electronic sound and she can't wait to share it with the world!
