Sara Dee: Feisty Folk is the best description cooked up thus far to describe L.A.based singer- songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sara Dee. Her incomparable and vintage vocal stylings are reminiscent of high-profile artists such as Amy Winehouse and Melody Gardot. In 2011, Dee produced and released her debut album, "In Joy," and in 2013, "Born Curious," with over 500 albums independently sold. Dee has since gained an international fan base and shared the stage with Golden Globe and Emmy winner Vonda Shepard and 3x Platinum Billboard Artist Anna Nalick. Her most recent album features fellow Los Angeles-based artists, including piano man Aaron Beaumont (of Mots Nouveaux, Milan Records), who LA Weekly calls "a new Elton John." Dee's melodies range "from beautiful and soft to severe and raw" - a 1920's speak-easy flare with flavors of an acoustic/gospel-based sound. Dee has enjoyed radio play on KRUU FM with her two singles "We Can Be Love" and "Make Believe," (In Joy, 2011) also catching the attention of Dirty Hippie Radio who wrote, "beautiful, retaining a twang of the rawness she possesses... an almost eerie polka gives way to a piano- and organ-based jazz-blues beat. Straight from the go, Dee makes it clear she's got pipes. A voice strong enough to clean the rust off nails... Pretty meets gritty. Tribulation finds hope."

Kira Lingman: Kira Lingman was born and raised in the South Bay has been picking the guitar and singing the blues since she was a little girl. She's been gigging around town since 2010, starting out with Steve Huante in their country-blues, acoustic duo, Bullys & Matadors. In 2012, Kira joined Rich Calkins, Mason Wright and Danny Peyton to create the loud, in-your-face, rock n roll blues band, The Hollow Legs.

Lindsey Harper: It takes a lot of confidence to tour all over the world and sing onstage alongside Selena Gomez at Madison Square Garden. But it takes more confidence to walk away from that glitzy showbiz world to dedicate your life to your own artistry. That’s just what singer-songwriter Lindsey Harper has boldly done, and now she’s readying her stunning album, All Of Me. Lindsey has also been featured singing the theme song for the ABC Family hit series HUGE, and she sings with the band PowPow on the song featured on all the Garnier Fructis commercials you hear. As a performing musician, she’s made television appearances on The People’s Choice Awards, Ellen DeGeneres, Good Morning America, and Jimmy Fallon. With Selena Gomez, she has shared the stage with Michele Bublé, Katie Perry, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, and Adam Lambert, among many others. Her orginal songs have been featured on MTV, VH1, A&E and TV Land. She co-wrote and sang on title track of the indie film Loving Annabelle. Dana Feldman of The Examiner and L.A. Arts & Entertainment enthuses: ““Lindsey Harper stands out as someone to watch out for on the music scene today. Her lyrics are raw, heartfelt and honest. Her voice can best be described as captivating and classic.” Lindsey Harper LINKS: Website: http://www.LindseyHarper.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/LindseyHarperMusic Follow me on Twitter! http://twitter.com/LindseyHarper
