Kathryn Tapper
Singer-songwriter Kathryn Tapper's heartfelt songs capture the beauty in everyday life. Discovering her passion and talent for music at the age of thirteen, she started writing songs and playing guitar. In high school, she fronted the all-girl indie-pop band "Forever in Secret" before setting out on her own. She has spent the past few years performing around Michigan, getting her bachelor’s degree, learning Pro-tools and recording her first release entirely on her own. The result is her debut EP "To Denver or Bust," five songs about love, loss, happiness and heartache. The EP is a collaborative effort with Merry Roberts who is featured on bass and back-up vocals. Listen to Kathryn Tapper's songs and you will catch a glimpse of the life of an ordinary girl who has things to say." -Ramsey Beyer Kathryn is currently performing in the Midwest with plans to tour in the summer of 2010.

The Collective Ellen Rosner
Introducing The Collective Ellen Rosner, “Because it really does take a village to be me.” Held together by Chuck Harling on Drums, Judy Director on keys, Joon Obie on bass, and Ellen Rosner on vocals/guitar. The band successfully captures and blends the players’ diverse collective influences. “It’s no secret that we all came of age during the mid 70’s to early 80’s, and that comes through in our writing.” Think vintage Traffic, Sly and the Family Stone, early Pretenders, a little Mavis Staples, some Al Green…. clean, tight melody riding over tight, in the pocket grooves. Close your eyes, and you can hear Stax, you can hear Muscle Shoals, and you can hear a sound that is very much all their The Collective Ellen Rosner.

The Scott Free Trio
Scott Free, the queer-rock singer/songwriter extraordinaire, is one of America's leading openly-gay male artists. His sometimes humorous, sometimes angry, always touching songs of queer life have gained him acclaim in both gay and straight media across the globe.Scott's CD 'The Pink Album (A Pop Opera)' won the Pride In The Arts Best Album of 2009, and OUTMusic named Scott the 2009 Outmusician of the Year. The Scott Free Trio is Scott on guitar, Marvin Astorga on bass, and Jenny Urban on drums.
