Kevin Gordon and Ernie Hendrickson

Back when he played with Bo Ramsey and the Sliders, Kevin was attending the Writer's Workshop. Since moving to Nashville he has put out several wonderful recordings and worked with many great songwriters including Lucinda Williams and Gwil Owen. Kevin has been described as: ". . . f%#&ing bloody William Shakespeare " by Keith Richards and ". . . easily one of Nashville's best, most literate and incisive songwriters (killer performer onstage, too)." by The Tennessean. Kevin is touring in support of his latest release, O Come Look at the Burning, from which the title track is currently being used in the Dewar's White Label Scotch Whiskey national advertising "Dewarisms" campaign. His new CD represents what Kevin’s fans have wanted for years—a recording that matches the searing unpredictable intensity of his live shows.

Patrick Bloom

Transplanted to the black dirt of Iowa via the housing projects of east Los Angeles and the working class industry of Long Island's Southern shore, Patrick Bloom's feet have taken root in the rich and muddy musical history carried along the Mississippi River. He's been labeled a "masterful songwriter" by the Grand Island Independent, and a reviewer from Modern Vertebrate once wrote "every time I listen to his lyrics, I think to myself, 'Man, I wish I could write like that!' Then I hide in my closet and cry." He currently has surrendered to the violent weather patterns of the Midwest where he lives with his wife and baby daughter."The music that scarecrows dance to when everyone else is asleep..." -Greg Brown
