Danica the Morning Star

Born and raised in the heart of Hollywood, Danica was introduced to jazz by mother of American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee, Peisha McPhee, who helped hone and craft her singing skills. Peisha also introduced her to the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, allowing Danica to build a strong (and soulful) musical foundation.

These Reigning Days

Having started their gigging career supporting Mercury darlings Metronomy, Devon-based three-piece These Reigning Days have quickly established a reputation as a formidable live act. The words "epic" and "stadium sound" are often used to describe their performance. Their first single “Changes” received glowing reviews and was play listed at regional, national and specialist radio stations across the UK. The single’s video was also play listed by music channel Q Music. “It’s very different to anything I've done before," lead singer/songwriter Dan Steer said. "It combines a fusion of indie-rock with a subtle electro twist, but also with some deep and dark moments.”

We are shotty, an explosive rock n' pop band from Seattle, now living in Los Angeles. We're weird guys who love watching cartoons, eating candy, and... oh yeah, rocking out.

With influences ranging from the Rolling Stones, Skynryd, ZZ Top, Willie Nelson and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Matt Mann and The Shine Runners deliver their brand of raucous and memorable blues-rock music to enthusiastic crowds.

In 2013, Grand Lake Blues from debut album Modern Day Outlaw was licensed to the feature film "Pawn Shop Chronicles" starring Paul Walker, Matt Dillon, Vincent D'Onofrio, Brendan Fraser, and Elijah Wood. That same year, the title track from that album was a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, Americana Category.

In the short amount of time the band has been around, three albums have been released : Modern Day Outlaw in 2012, Southern States to the West Coast in 2013, and See Ya On Down The Road in 2016. The band also knows well over 30 cover songs to go along with their 40 originals. The Shine Runners include Matt Hornbeck on lead guitar, Robby Lattimore on bass and Ben Loshin on the drums. Adam MacDougall from the legendary band The Black Crowes and Chris Robinson Brotherhood can be heard on all three records playing B3 organ and upright piano. As Mike Shaner from the Hollywood Examiner put it so eloquently, "Matt Mann and The Shine Runners are just pure whiskey drinking Southern Rock. Crowds eat up Matt Mann’s cowboy-rocker stage presence and raspy Oklahoma twang."

Fire in the Hamptons

Emerging from a background of multiple genres, Zack Arnett was inspired to take his storytelling on an entirely new journey, set against an indie/pop sound resembling the synthesizers and dance-centric beats of the 80's to the catchy vocal melodies of today's emerging indie artists. Thus, Fire in the Hamptons was born. In 2010, Zack connected with award-winning producer/composer, Bert Selen. The two combined their eclectic talents and, nearly a year later, completed the Fire In The Hamptons full-length album, “F.I.T.H.” The record, mastered by Grammy award-winning engineer Brad Blackwood, features standouts “Humanimal,” “Children of the Sun,” and “Stargazer,” which one music blogger describes as “one of those tracks that leaves you hooked on the first listen.” The young album has already had music featured in TV shows including “Gossip Girl,” “Jersey Shore,” “Snooki & Jwoww” and online promos for Vogue Magazine. “Humanimal” has been played on LA’s tastemaker radio station, KCRW. On stage, the music comes alive with enough energy to make venue security dance. The four-piece band is lead by Zack on vocals, Aaron Bilyeu on drums, Ian Dowd on guitar and Emvy Venti on synth/piano. Since their first show in 2012, Fire in the Hamptons has been building a buzz that keeps fueling their fire. They performed at the indie music festival “Echo Park Rising,” headlined Monterey’s festival “First Night Monterey,” they’ve opened for Samantha Ronson and performed at a KROQ “Locals Only” showcase at the Roxy Theatre, headlined by Youngblood Hawke.
