I am a solo artist originally from St. Louis Missouri. I've been playing live for 7 years, acoustically and in a band. I have plenty of cover material as well as original songs. You can find two of my albums on iTunes.

Psycho. Magic. What else you's gots to know?

Bart Budwig doesn’t write the big songs. He writes the songs about the places between the hills, in the draws and hidden canyons where truth is a little more in focus, stories can take their time gettin’ told, heartbreak is a place of deep reflection, and melodies don’t have to wear rhinestone suits or drive new, shiny, cars to be beautiful.

Singing and strumming since the age of ten, Brian Copeland has cultivated a unique brand of catchy and lyrical guitar-pop. Born in Iowa City and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Copeland draws on a planet of inspiration ranging from a loving family and unwavering friendships to quirky Portland encounters and spectacular Cascadian scenes. Built on honest themes and experiences, his music engages a wide range of listeners from all walks of life. The evolution of Copeland’s current band can be traced back through nearly fifteen years of on-stage success and partnerships with dozens of accomplished musicians through his previous bands The Furleys and Pale Green Pants. This year, with some of the best regional talent on board, including Arcellus Sykes on bass guitar, Mike Snyder on drums, and Jeff Koch on lead guitar, Copeland released a 4-song EP “The B Sides” to a sold-out house at the famous Jimmy Mak’s in Portland. Anchored by reflective lyrics, powerful vocal arrangements and silky guitar hooks, the recording showcases not only superb musicianship, but Copeland’s production and songwriting chops. In 2010, Copeland teamed up with world-class pianist, songwriter, and arranger Matt Burnett and award-winning engineer and producer Keith Sommers (Absinthe, Lowcraft, Phonochrome) to record “Circles,” his third full-length recording. “Circles” is an expertly orchestrated collection of songs that combine the warmth and refinement of classical strings with Burnett’s undeniably catchy piano hooks and Copeland’s powerful lead vocals. Copeland followed the release with a west coast tour, which included dates in San Francisco and Los Angeles. He has since returned to play dates in southern California, including an appearance at the Yahoo! Music Studios in Santa Monica, CA. As a vetted pop musician at the center of a galaxy of classically trained musicians, Brian Copeland has built a powerhouse pop institution that remains fresh and engaging from album to album and show to show.

Neon Culpa is an alternative indie-rock outfit of Portland, one of the city's most raw, but also refined and melodically purposeful power-pop acts, with elements found in bands such as the New Pornographers and Built to Spill, in terms of their indie-electric stylings, as well as Wilco, with their country-tinged clean leads, and Cake and Spoon, with catchy horn lines that manage to avoid gimmick or redundancy in an astonishing manner, give that the style of music is otherwise not one typically associated with dense, regular trombone and trumpet arrangements. Defined by an exhilarating, freewheeling energy that is balanced with a self-conscious, but very expressive thematic wittiness, with reflective lyrics that offer different potential levels of depth, depending on the listener and how much they want out of the song…so the aim of these ideological sonic trippers, one might say, is to make music that can make people dance, think and ponder reflectively, or do both at the same time, a soul-stirring adventure that brings you up and down at the same time. The band is the result of a long series of musical journeys and overlapping paths, founded by singer-songwriter and guitarist Charlie Barker IV, and now includes brass player and vocalist Heidi Aispuro--the two being a love-interest who effectively front the band--bassist Eric Speiring, lead guitarist Aaron Byers, recently joined by drummer Evan Gutt. They have throughout 2015 and now into the new year played such local venues as the Doug Fir Lounge, Star Theater, Dante's, Aladdin Theater, the Liquor Store, and numerous others, slowly making a name for themselves in the scene.

We are the Jackalope Saints, hailing from Portland, Oregon. Our sound is folk music fashioned to bluegrass and hammered to the floorboards of forgotten barns, winding through overgrown valleys where ailing giants sleep their lives away. Cut from seven cloths, forging original music. Bringing experience from a variety of musical backgrounds to create a unique, rich sound reminiscent of forest fires and screen doors slamming.

Growing up as the son of two music teachers, music has been a constant influence throughout my life. As an unborn baby, through headphones my mother played the music of Mozart and other writers such as Bob Dylan. I attribute much of my creative poetic style to this early exposure to great music. I spent many hours attending concerts conducted by my parents as a young child; once again expanding my musical palette. My father, in addition to being a conductor and public school band director, also has been a song writer for many years. I can remember playing his melodies by ear on the piano as a young child, before I had any formal training. I studied piano at age 11 for three years. As a member of the school instrumental music program, I studied percussion for four years, during which time, I was selected as a regional 1st chair all star player three times. My music education continued as I became a member of an extremely accomplished high school choir, ever broadening my musical experience. I soon became student conductor of the choir. As a senior, making Gladwin High School history, I composed what would be voted the Class of 2007, class song. Accompanied by the elite, Wings of Harmony, I performed a live rendition of my original song at commencement. My choral experience carried me through my junior year in college as a member of the highly acclaimed Alma College A Cappella Choir. I was soon selected to perform with the Alma College,“Scots On the Rocks,” a men’s a cappella variety group for whom I did considerable arranging. Although performing in those groups brought me much joy and musical fulfillment, crafting my first song as a tenth grader was a shining moment that illuminated a pathway that I have since been compelled to follow. From that moment on, I knew I was meant to compose music. Over the last ten years I have composed and produced over 100 songs. Initially writing in an acoustic/indie style, I have made a point of exploring many styles, incorporating diverse rhythmic treatments and evolving toward an electro-pop sound. Recently I have completed several rap/hip hop projects in a collaborative effort put out by my new group we call “The Snapbacks.” All of my music is completely original with lyrics and music performed, produced, and recorded by James Hawkins. I find myself composing more than ever, always working toward mastering my craft. My devotion to music is unconditional. I'll forever be a writer and composer; this much is certain. As primarily a studio artist, I am discovering the importance of live performance to better provide awareness of my music. Every day, the evolution of my sound brings me closer to an originality that separates me from every other artist. I've been blessed with tremendous support and appreciate every listen I'm given.

Jonny is a natural artist that can capture any crowd. Using the acoustic guitar, and wide vocal range, brings together the best of folk, alternative, blues, and soul. Insightful and powerful, yet down to earth and real. Bringing American music back!

I am a singer/songwriter performing acoustic sets with just me and a piano. Up until this point all of my music and production have been done at home using YouTube and digital distribution to share my music. I perform both original songs as well as cover songs. I am currently without a keyboard so the best venues for me to start are those that already have a keyboard I can use. However, if you are interested in booking me and you do not have a keyboard, I will find a keyboard :) Some of my covers include Boston by Augustana and Drops of Jupiter by Train. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7zY4U9SSVQ *Rates are negotiable.

Welcome to this House in the Sky. The musical mothership of Harris Levon McRae,“Da Rockin’ MC", and Bets Pott, the co-captains of Starship Skyhouse. Based in a Magic Castle in PORTLANDIA. ROCKIN' THE UNIVERSE. Skyhouse has developed a sound that lands them smack-dab in the middle of the Alternative R&B genre as a band but genre-busting as songwriters and producers. R&B with an alternative twist and DIY indie inspiration. They are influenced by Rock, Pop, Soul, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Folk, EDM, and incorporate these diverse styles into their own unique mix. BMI-affiliated songwriters, as well as performers, Skyhouse also focuses on writing songs for/with other artists and licensing music for film and television placement The duo decided to start an independent record label--Skyhouse Music LLC-- to release and promote their own music such as their latest album, Angel as well as to market some of their many collaborations. They are expanding that vision to include releasing albums by a few like-minded artists. Skyhouse has really embraced the concept of the sound system—a group of DJs and engineers contributing and working together as one, often playing and producing one particular kind of music such as reggae or hip-hop to rock the party. The duo opened up the concept to include a wide variety of music and many types of musicians. Both Bets and Harris are songwriter/producers and multi-instrumentalists playing an interesting mix of musical instruments including guitar, bass, keyboards, piano, banjo, harmonica, ukulele, and percussion.
