Although sometimes subtly, his influences include Tom Waits, Bright Eyes, Wilco, Nick Drake, and Martin Tielli to name a few. In addition to his solo work, Shawn contributes to the Gypsy-folk collective Olenka and the Autumn Lovers, and with electronic act Dexter Parks.

Jason Landon

“I like to think I was born into music.  My parents were really into it as I was growing up, giving me plenty of opportunities to accompany them to shows and concerts of some highly-regarded bands or musicians, so it was only natural for me to start playing music.  All through highschool I was the singer in a London-based ska band called Pitchin' Tents.  Since January 2007, I started going out to an open mic at Last Drop.  Ever since then, I can't get enough.  I love to play, I love to sing”

Hunter Eves

Hunter Eves was born in a cubicle farm, nursed by a waterfall, raised by a swingset and trained as a kamikaze pianist. In her songs she is hiding in a cubby under the stairs, drifting out to sea on a melting iceberg or collecting swamp life in a tic tac box aquarium. She is known for her imaginative and fascinating experiments with electronic sounds fused with mad dance-rock beats. Hunter's debut full-length CD, Unopened Box, was released in 2006.  Hunter is a touring machine and her live show speaks for itself. http://www.myspace.com/huntereves

Testament

I am not a rapper, I am just a revolutionary that raps GOOD.  I'm taking hip-hop back to its revolutionary roots and spreading dissent through the powerful, thought-provoking rhymes.  I'm here to save hip-hop from the glorified violence, materialism, sexism, and racism that the music industry createspromotes and markets for their own capitalistpurposes.The revolution will not be signed to a record deal.
