M. Ward

Perhaps it’s his rich and seductive voice, equal parts honey and cigarette smoke, Nina Simone and Tom Waits. Or perhaps its the virtuosity of the guitar playing, the kind of finger picking skills more commonly associated with Appalachian folk and delta blues traditions than the indie rock scene which was the first to grasp him to their bosom, but it’s a simple fact that M.Ward is a favorite of almost everyone who’s heard him. It’s no real surprise that the country blues loving Meg White personally invited Matt to open for The White Stripes on their last round of US live shows in 2005.

The Watson Twins

Chandra and Leigh, were raised in the rolling hills of Louisville, Kentucky. In 1998, with an atlas and a pick-up truck, they found themselves in Los Angeles playing and recording with notable Silverlake bands (Rilo Kiley, Earlimart, Orphan Train, etc.) From this inspiring time grew the songs of The Watson Twins.

In Fall 2005, The Watson Twins recorded with Jenny Lewis on her first solo record, “Rabbit Fur Coat” (Team Love). Joining the red haired songstress from Tokyo to Berlin, through the US and back again, the girls enchanted each sold out audience with their soaring choruses and angelic sound.
