Robin Stine - Daydream
"...a truly unique sound infusing traditional jazz with a youthful, bluesy folk vibe...songs that evoke another era, one where subtle was sexy. This album is a slinky and seductive listen that makes listeners yearn for a smoky bar and a strong cocktail."
Seduction comes in many forms. Those who can seduce with style make it seem effortless, unintentional, irresistible. Robin Stine's music seduces with a whiff of subtle perfume and a casual graze of her hand as she walks past, leaving the listener powerless to do anything but follow. As a singer, her voice floats on the stylish edge of contemporary cool-light, but never lightweight. As a songwriter, her enchanting originals set her in the upper echelon of today's songwriters.
Born and raised in Kansas City, Robin began her musical journey as a child singing in school groups and church choirs. When she left for college she had no idea that music would take her around the world. For three of her collegiate years she performed with gospel groups, traveling across the U.S. as well as in Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Hong Kong and China. She then moved to Miami in 1996 to begin her graduate studies. During this time she performed with “Mike Suman’s Swing City” and her own band “Simply Stellar” at festivals, hotels and clubs throughout South Florida. In 2003 she moved to Pensacola to focus on the next phase of her musical career-writing and recording her original music.

Lisa McCormick
Mystery Girl
Up-to-the-minute retro with a playful bohemian twist, Mystery Girl signals both an arrival and a departure for singer/songwriter Lisa McCormick. Already established as an important voice in the contemporary folk genre, McCormick now unfolds brilliantly into new worlds of sultry jazz and spicy Latin stylings.
McCormick's elegant command of language, unforgettably intimate vocals, and fluid acoustic guitar combine with a smoky tenor sax and Latino percussion to create a seductive collection of love songs to love itself; deeply human, purely sensual, innocently spiritual. This record sways.

Cathy Grier
What Fools Do
A sampler from CD 'Comin' Back To Me' (includes 2 tracks only available on this CD), featuring bluesy guitar and earthy vocals
Cathy Grier has been called folk-ed up blues, gutsy, and a musician with a voice. Her performances are heartfelt, showcasing her captivating guitar style and rich powerful voice. As a songwriter who is sometimes political, sometimes analytical, she echoes Dylan and Mitchell with a touch of Raitt on the side.
Cathy participates in New York City's MTA program, "Music Under New York." Selected in 2002 as one of New York's finest subway performers, she has performed in Avery Fisher Hall and was featured on CNN, CBS Sunday Morning and NBC's Today Show. Cathy has performed throughout New York City including St. Paul's Church, to help heal the spirit and heart of a traumatized city. Her solo performances underground reveal a more rootsy approach to her music which has attracted the attention of not only commuters, but the eye of many indie-documentary film makers.

Guitar Islancio
Connections
Old Icelandic folk songs and presented in new jazz coloured robes. The two guitars, bass and trumpet provide a wonderful and creative framework for these folk songs.
GUITAR ISLANCIO
Musical Group of the City of Reykjavík in 2000 and 2001
Over the centuries the Icelandic folksong has both sculpted the national spirit of Iceland and been the most important pillar of its contemporary culture. Modern composers have willingly allowed the ancient melodies and chords to influence them, using these extensively in their compositions.
Guitar Islancio offers us music which has been kept alive and well nourished in Iceland by handing it down through the ages from person to person. The melodies have no doubt undergone some changes on their journey through the passages of time, but this is, of course, the norm for all aspects of society.

Janet Seidel
Don't Smoke In Bed
Cool jazz vocals with swinging group - Peggy Lee tribute
Lounge and cabaret performer and all-around ace singer Janet Seidel's Don't Smoke in Bed honors the important contributions of Peggy Lee to the vocal art. Australia's Seidel doesn't stop at entries from the Great American Songbook that Lee liked to sing, and includes her significant contributions to that document as a composer.
In addition to the title tune, "Don't Smoke in Bed," there are five more Lee pieces on the play list. Through her personal appearances and many recordings, Seidel is a virtual institution in that country down under.
