Louise Setara - Wrong Again
Louise Setara is a unique new talent. Of Irish -Brazilian and English descent, this 18 year old singer has already attracted some major support in making what is shaping up as a very strong debut album: “Still Waters.”

 

  

Alice Smith – New Religion
 This Washington, D.C., native is a seductive mix of Nina Simone and Alicia Keys. Last year, Smith, 29, dropped her indie debut, For Lovers, Dreamers & Me, to critical acclaim but weak sales. She’ll rerelease the disc this month on her new label, Epic. ”[We're] just freshening it up a little bit,” she says, ”because a lot of people really never heard it.”

 

 

Sheva – The Closet Thing
Sheva has spent the majority of the winter on the piano at home doing some writing! This spring and summer will showcase some   of the new material on the upcoming follow-up project.

 

 


Michy G – Insignificant
Michy G is Michelle Gavilondo, originally from LI, a bit eclectic, riff oriented acoustic rock, has grown up playing guitar and piano by ear sponging in classic rock, and spitting out her own songs till she started playing in original bands. Nexta Kin was her first and that gave her a taste of artistic expression. She’s been playing out clubs and cafe’s for well over 10 years. Rythmic and hooky infectious tunes are what she brings to the table. Her voice is unique. No comparison is really fair. 2 years ago she teamed up with Janet Montalbo and hasn’t left her side since. The almighty blend has taken them from bars and cafe’s in LI to the first CD debut Oct 20th. Chic n’ Martini has gone from a cover duo playing bars and such to a force to be reckoned with as an original duo. They are set out to change the perception that Long Island is for cover and tribute bands….also the myth that female rockers are no longer relevant. Check them at at Amazon and iTunes under Chic n’ Martini. The songs on the album represent songs written by either Janet or Michy and the tunes featured here are Michy G penned for the CD. Enjoy! 
 

  

Chrissy – Lucky Number

Chrissy has also been featured on “Coverville.”
Chrissy has been played over 100 times on KYOU Radio on “Music That Lasts.” Chrissy recently released “Relentless.”
 

 

 Laura Harley – One Last Time
