Ari Herstand (CD Release)
Roster McCabe + This World Fair + Breanne Duren



ARI HERSTAND
This explosive artist, blending genres from acoustic pop/rock, folk, hip-hop and jazz, busts down the walls of the tired acoustic rock, singer/songwriter box and has forced the world to take notice. Ari's unforgettable live shows display his talents on the guitar, piano and trumpet. Fusing them with his vocal percussion and beautifully angelic vocals - with the help of his loop station - Ari stuns every person that has the opportunity to catch his performance.

The Joe Kelley Blues Band
featuring Joe Kelley from Shadows of the Night

THE JOE KELLEY BLUES BAND
Joe Kelly, one of the members of the Shadows of the Night in Their "Gloria" Hey Day, has released his first album as a front man.

Judging by "The Blue Shadow – Teardrop, 2007) Kelly has smoothed his garage beginnings into a straight forward rock approach that blends city and country blues. Kelly's Compositions have time for fun, but are mainly concerned with the tough times.

As the 1960's came to a close, Joe Kelley was earning a reputation as one of the hottest blues guitarist in Chicago. Joe honed his guitar and vocal skills on Chicago's south side, working with many of the blues greats including Sam Lay. Joe spent many a late night and early morning taking in the wisdom of the great Willie Dixon. He has recorded with Wild Child Butler and Long John Hunter.

Joe Kelley "The Blue Shadow" is his debut release as a front man. Included are seven originals proving that Joe takes his blues seriously.

David Lindley
An Intimate Acoustic Performance

DAVID LINDLEY

Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show.

Solas




SOLAS
The group has shown a willingness to experiment while still maintaining its roots in traditional Irish music. The band's instrumental dexterity plus its mixture of male and female vocalists have given the group a broad range and flexibility. Solas has carved out a special niche on the Irish/American scene, invigorating traditional music with fresh ideas and pioneering new directions for Celtic music. "As long as there are groups such as Solas," wrote Don Heckman in the Los Angeles Times, "Celtic music will continue to draw new, young audiences."

After more break-ups than an episode of Laguna Beach (zing!) 2007 saw the release of Munki Brain, a perfect comeback album (so much better than Queen + Paul Rodgers) on Asian Man Records; look forward to their legendary live show.

Javier




JAVIER
With the release of his self-titled debut in 2003, newcomer Javier proved himself a welcome addition to the canon of intriguing R&B singers. Indeed, not since Babyface has there been an artist who could write and sing beautifully crafted songs as well as throw down with an acoustic guitar and do it all with such pureness. "I like to be versatile with the styles of music I do but I try to keep it true to the genre while stretching it at the same time. A lot of record companies don't allow an artist to have that kind of creative freedom, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones."

Pete Best


Heartland Cafe and Sapporo present:

PETE BEST
The Pete Best Band delivers the raw, thumping intensity of the Beatles' savage sound during the early sixties.

The band are proud of their authentic sound and energy. Right from the first beat, you'll be immersed in nostalgia, listening to 'the best years' of the beatles, 1960-62. The Pete Best Band line up changes from time to time, comprising of session musicians both young and older!... The Pete Best Band captures the sound of the Beatles in their formative years - the early years for many 'was' The Beatles.

John Lennon summed this up well - "We were at our best when we were playing in the dance halls of Liverpool and Hamburg. The world never saw that."

Danger Radio
Farewell + Brighten + Red Car



DANGER RADIO
Danger Radio is an alternative dance-rock band from Everett, Washington. Using strong influences from modern rock and dance music from the 80s, Danger Radio has a style that blends funk with modern emo rock. Their music tends to be bass-centric, and fast paced similar to artists such as Hellogoodbye, PlayRadioPlay!, and Hot Hot Heat; while they are lyrically more closely oriented to bands such as The Rocket Summer, This Providence, and Daphne Loves Derby. Danger Radio features Andrew De Torres, from The Scene Aesthetic, as their lead singer.
