"Somewhere, there is probably someone who lived in England in 1960 who turned down a chance to go to The Cavern Club because he had never heard of the band. "The band" in question was, of course, The Beatles. They went on to have a bit of success in the music business; enough success that the guy who didn't want to go see them play because he had never heard of them is still kicking himself black-and-blue 40 years later. So when you're trying to decide whether or not you want to drag yourself out to see some unknown play....just remind yourself that every musician was once an unknown, and that every musician who sells out arenas for hundreds of dollars per ticket once played somewhere for under ten bucks. And someone who paid hundreds of dollars to sit in the last row of an arena once turned down the chance to sit on the first row of a small venue for next to nothing. Don't be this person!" --Bailey Jones from the Sundilla Acoustic Concert Series

A.J. CROCE
Born Adrian James Croce on September 28th 1971. The son of legendary singer/songwriter Jim Croce, A.J. lost his father to a 1973 plane crash. Soon after his father’s death, he lost his sight, and began playing the piano. He regained partial vision at age 10. Croce began performing professionally at age 12. A.J. got his first break at 18 when B.B. King heard him play and asked him to join him on tour as a support act. The next year A.J. was signed to Private Music and made his first recording the self titled "A.J. Croce”. His debut was produced by T-Bone Burnett and John Simon. On the session for his first recording A.J. met Jim Keltner, who became a mentor and hired A.J. to write for a project with Ry Cooder. Keltner would end up producing Croce’s second release “That’s Me In The Bar”. To this date A.J. Croce has recorded 7 albums, all of them reaching the charts in different categories, from Jazz, College, AAA, Americana, and Top 40. A.J’s diverse writing and musical abilities have made him a go to songwriter and session musician for a variety of films and numerous creative projects. His 7th studio CD “Cage Of Muses” was released in 2009 and garnered 4 stars in Rolling Stone among countless other positive reviews.

A.J. Croce has performed on The Tonight Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Austin City Limits, CNN, E!, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, The Today Show…

In Concert A.J. has performed with some of the most legendary acts of our time. It started with B.B. King, and then, A.J.’s hero Ray Charles invited him on tour. He has played on stage with Willie Nelson, Ben Harper, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Lyle Lovett, The Neville Brothers, Dr. John, Rod Stewart, Santana, Taj Mahal and Dave Mathews just to name a few.

“One of our greatest young songwriters” - David Wild of Rolling Stone

“A.J. Croce has wisdom beyond his years. With his music, he represents his generation with a profound sense of honesty in his lyrics and quality in his delivery. The future of entertainment is safe in his hands!” - Willie Nelson

BILLY HARVEY
www.billharveymusic.com

Over the years Billy Harvey has been playing his own brand of Post Modern Pop, working not only as an artist but also as a producer (Charlie Mars, Bob Schneider, Slaid Cleaves, and Steve Poltz are among his credits).
A prolific writer, he has been the recipient of the International Songwriters Award for Best Rock Song “Frozen Through”, and broke into the Top 100 on the CMJ Charts with his 2007 release “Bearsick”.
This caffeine-addled do-it-yourselfer has also been quietly directing, animating, and editing the accompanying music videos to his records.
In February 2008 he shot and directed a documentary film entitled “EVERYWHERE NOW”. Filmed entirely on his laptop camera, Harvey intimately chronicles a 7000 mile plus tour in a car powered by waste vegetable oil. From crossing the continental divide on a sheet of ice to digging through oil dumpsters in the freezing cold, what follows is a near epic journey of endurance and self-discovery that is both sublime and at times harrowing.
Harvey’s latest release "The Everlasting War" plays like a love letter… to a girl… to himself…ultimately to us as we are invited to participate in the clear honesty of the music. This record teems with raw emotion and heartfelt sentiment so succinct it is impossible not to be affected by it. It Standout tracks include “Blind Man’s Bike”, “Heading for the Hills” (featured in ABC’s Private Practice), and “Let This Be The Day”. We are currently seeking media partners.

THE BLUEBONNETS
www.thebluebonnets.net

The BlueBonnets are:
KATHY VALENTINE - guitar & vocals
DOMINIQUE DAVALOS - bass & vocals
EVE MONSEES - guitar & vocals
KRISTY MCINNIS - drums & vocals
CLICK THE NAMES FOR INDIVIDUAL BIOS
Like a Texas-California combo plate, the BlueBonnets serve up a set of glamorous glitter blues rock complimented with layered girl group harmonies. There is a rough garage band energy to the songs, songs that are held together by tight arrangements and stylistic guitar interplay, solid grooves, and unforgettable melodies. The band formed in 2007, as a restructuring of a former line-up that began in Los Angeles in the 90's. When Kathy Valentine returned to live in her home town of Austin, she decided the city was the perfect place to re-introduce the band that she and Dominique Davalos had conceived when they first began their long musical partnership. The BlueBonnets put a feminine slant on on blues based rock n roll yet cannot fall neatly into any musical category. They have been chosen to share the bill with the royalty of Austin's music scene: Arc Angels, Bob Schneider, the Scabs, Jimmie Vaughan, Guy Forsythe, Storyville, Lou Anne Barton, and Carolyn Wonderland amongst many others. In 2010 the BlueBonnets will release their first ever CD and are surely set to be one of the star jewels in Austin's musical crown.

MURRY HAMMOND

Murry Hammond's day job is as an Old 97, a position he has held since he and longtime musical partner Rhett Miller formed the band in 1993. Hammond has always been given credit or to some, the blame - for the roots influence found in the Old 97s songwriting and sound but his solo stuff goes deeper, darker and from a time swirling the past with the future served up just right.

PETER CASE

RICHARD BARONE
www.richardbarone.com

We are planning a tour to include theaters, colleges, bookstores, rock clubs and hotels in every city in the US. Richard has a lot to promote. Being the frontman of a popular band is a high-risk profession. Richard Barone, acclaimed recording artist and former lead singer of indie rock pioneers the Bongos, has survived two decades in the spotlight to tell the tale. From dallying with the glitterati in the trendiest night spots, to learning recording tricks from some of the top names in the music industry, to innovating the intimate chamber-pop genre and emerging as an A-list solo artist and producer, he continues to push the boundaries of modern rock and inventive self-expression. In FRONTMAN, Barone tells his story in a frank and charmingly funny style. We are along for this ride as he recounts the supernova express of New York City stardom and endless parties; sexual politics, divas, disappointments, and drugs; his journey of self-discovery through music; and a lifetime's worth of hard-gained advice for anyone interested in getting into the music business or just surviving in it.

"This is a completely charming and witty look at the frontman phenomenon. It is written by a purist who tells you what it's like to be a true fan in love with the music who then becomes a frontman himself. A very warm and honest look at making and loving music."
--Lou Reed

"Whether fronting the Bongos or his own solo projects, Richard lives and breathes music, and has experienced the world. I've always enjoyed working with Richard and value his ideas and expertise on my own and other projects. Read this book!"
--Fred Schneider, The B-52's

RICHARD BARONE IS BACK WITH TONY VISCONTI-PRODUCED NEW ALBUM, 'GLOW,' ON BAR/NONE RECORDS, OUT SEPTEMBER 14, 2011, Richard will tour all year, solo, full band and in the round with Ivan Julian, Marvin Etzioni and Steve Barton!

“A sort of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah/Mazzy Star hybrid of sing-along folk, buzzy country-leaning tunes and uptempo/downtempo swings, with brilliantly unconventional songwriting and smart harmonies anchoring the whole deal.” Dallas Observer
