JAMIE KENT
A fresh 26-year-old singer-songwriter with big dreams and an ever-expanding fanbase, artist Jamie Kent's future as a performer looks quite promising. Drawing on influences from modern artists like Ray Lamontagne and Amos Lee as well as paying tribute to classic greats like Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, Kent's perfectly mellifluous tunes are roll-the-windows-down, soak-up-some-sun kind of good. Since the release of his debut LP in 2011, the singer-songwriter has been collaborating with his band, Jamie Kent & The Options, to cultivate a sound with a strong folk rock and Americana influence.
AS THE SPARROW
As the Sparrow is a folk influenced rock-swing band based around the songwriting of Mark Damon and Crystal Araiza. Coming out of Boston, the band draws from the energy of big band swing music as well as the intimacy and poetry of the folk genre. In July 2013, As the Sparrow released their debut album.
MATTHEW SZLACHETKA
Sometimes playing in a band is like a love affair, and for Matthew Szlachetka, the magic was gone. After nearly seven years fronting the Northstar Session, the Los Angeles singer and songwriter is stepping out with his solo debut, Waits for a Storm to Find.
More on Jamie Kent...
Kent has no fear of hard work, playing over 200 shows a year including tours with Huey Lewis & The News, The Wood Brothers, Marc Broussard, Ellis Paul, and multiple showcases at the South By Southwest Music Festival. Kent is supported by The Collective, an amazing grassroots group of fans who help advise and fund his career in exchange for access to exclusive music, merchandise, and vote in the major decisions he makes. Additionally, he has received international radio play on over 120 stations (including BBC Radio), had his single "Changes" licensed by the Boston Red Sox, and has also signed licensing agreements with MTV, Bravo, and The Discovery Network. Most recently Kent was the recipient of a 2013 ASCAP Plus Award for his songwriting, and released a brand new EP, titled Embers & Ashes. This new album features five songs that showcase a deeper sense of confidence as a songwriter, and as a singer. It's first single, "Broke, Not Broken" was recently premiered on RollingStone.com.
