Emily Jane White
Emily Jane White on Myspace
Emily Jane White was raised in Fort Bragg, California, a seaside town nestled in the misty, secluded woodland of the Mendocino Coast where old men tell stories about logging and young girls dream of San Francisco. Time moves slowly in Fort Bragg, where in place of big-city sharp shocks of excitement there stretches one drawn-out, stable truth, quiet and unflinching. You will live, Fort Bragg says, and then you will also assuredly die. Though Emily Jane White's newest album, ?Victorian America?, was written largely in San Francisco and Oakland, the atmosphere of her upbringing permeates her songs. White has no patience with light fare. ?I don't write happy music. I'm drawn to writing sad songs?, she says. ?Reflective, contemplative songs. I truly believe that that's my job. It's not my job to create happy music. I'm okay with that.?

Les Shelleys
Les Shelleys on Myspace
The Les Shelleys are Tom Brosseau and Angela Correa, a duo who first began cutting their teeth in San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles. Their sound has been described as a plait of voices. As a gift, Al Guerra, a San Diego music scene main-stay, bestowed the Les Shelleys a mini-disc recorder. This is the device that was used to capture the beginnings of the Les Shelleys in 2003 & 2004 at 1115 West Kensington, Echo Park, Los Angeles, California. Selections from those sessions are currently being mastered and sequenced for release on Brighton, UK, and NY, NY, based Fat Cat records sometime in 2010.
