Rebekah Del Rio
As seen in David Lynch's Award Winning film Mulholland Drive, her unique style is perhaps best represented in her signature song, the wrenchingly beautiful ballad "Llorando," a Spanish-language version of Roy Orbison's "Crying," which strongly evokes both her Latin roots as well as such vocal influences as Patsy Cline, Linda Ronstadt, Eydie Gormet, and Karen Carpenter. http://www.rebekahdelrio.com/ http://www.myspace.com/lalloronadelosangeles

Saucy Monky
There's got to be something witty and wild about a band that names its debut album after a lingerie store in L.A. (Celebrity Trash) — but Saucy Monky's playful sense of humor is just the beginning of the irresistible indie spirit that defines the vibe of guitar playing singer-songwriters Annmarie Cullen and Cynthia Catani. The title of their highly anticipated follow-up Turbulence perfectly captures their unpredictable spirit and high energy personalities. http://www.saucymonky.com/ http://myspace.com/saucymonky
Selena Ryan
"It is immediately clear from this disc that Ryan has a terrific voice. Husky and mellow, it imbues "Drive to Love" with a soulful vitality that recalls Tori Amos. On the bluesy torcher, "Another Day", Ryan conveys heartbreak with ease. She takes a risk with the unorthodox quick-tempo "Change", whose ascending and descending piano lines generate a rollercoaster pace. Ryan has the tools to succeed and could appeal to fans of Fiona Apple and Alicia Keys." - MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINES, 2006 http://www.selenaryan.com/ http://www.myspace.com/selenaryanmusic

Soul Puppet After more than a decade playing together, the Los Angeles based trio Soul Puppet, continues to make music on their own terms. Taking most of their influence from early American Roots music, they create a unique point of view of their country's own rich musical herritage. However, discovering these roots was a journey in itself. A love for 60's rock and roll music led them to legendary Band drummer Levon Helm. It was this unique experience that laid the foundation for the band's new found passion and sound. Chris continued a professional relationship with Helm in the studio, and Luke and Stephan went on the road behind blues star, Jonny Lang on his successful 2005 acoustic tour. Today, the band continues doing what they have done since they were teenagers, making the music they love, and performing for all who will listen. http://www.myspace.com/soulpuppet

"Kindness" is a dazzling five-song follow-up to the band's 2004 release, "Settle Down." Once again, Carson and his group of strong players use formidable songwriting and impressive musicianship layered around Carson's distinctive vocals in the filler-free presentation of a fistful of original songs." -- Robert Kinsler, Orange Pop http://scbmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/scb
