Artist Bio:
Burke dedicated himself to his songwriting and eventually discovered who he was as a musician. Things started heating up in July 2009 with the release of his first EP, Brian Burke Band, preceded by the start of his touring career in September. August 2010 welcomed the release of the much anticipated first full-length album, Unraveled, which showcases a variety of musical styles and exceptional vocal abilities. In this same month, TexasMusicWorld.com honored Brian as its “Breakout Artist” of the year. Between touring and songwriting, 2011 has been a busy, yet productive, year for Brian. A new album is in the works that will show off a matured version of the Brian Burke we are used to hearing. Mixing the sounds of some of his favorite genres, it’s hard not to think of Burke as the musical lovechild of Keith Urban and John Mayer. “I think our current release only scratches the surface of a young artist. I think what’s to come will be on a totally different level

Artist Bio:
Some have their eyes dead set on pursuing music at a young age. Others, like Joshua Dorr, are destined to fall into it. Born in the small coal mining town of Gillette, Wyo., the 24-year-old grew up an outdoorsman and an athlete. He pursued football through his junior year of college, but after enduring numerous on-field injuries, he found therapy in music and songwriting.

Ernie Halter's songwriting for this record maintains that closeness ntimacy, being heavily influenced by events in his own life and those of people close to him. The feelings experienced upon losing a loved one inspired “Gone,” and when Halter posted a live performance of this song on YouTube it quickly racked up over 10,000 views in its first week. “I started getting messages from fans saying how much they connected to the song,” he explains. “There is no greater reward.”

Artist Bio:
Born in Fort Worth, Texas, raised twenty miles west in Aledo, Matt had been tempted to pursue a music career straight out of high school. "I'd started playing guitar, and dabbling in songwriting," he says. "And I was always recording. I was in love with it." The former high school basketball star had grown up singing and playing guitar in the small theaters of the Texas "Opry" circuit, immersed in the country music his father had always written and performed. But Jenkins resisted the move to Nashville, instead attending South Plains Junior College, near Lubbock, honing his guitar and vocal skills and studying songwriting and theory. After a year, he packed up and made the move to Nashville. A chance audition later that year with Jody Williams Music led to his first publishing deal at 19. Now 26, Matt has spent the past few years working on his songwriting craft in Nashville and playing shows around the country. His live performances have led to supporting slots with Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Sugarland, Keith Urban and several appearances on the Grand Ole Opry. Matt's smooth baritone and from the heart writing style have set him apart as one of the brightest young artists to watch in Country Music

Artist Bio:
Brett Tyler is a singer/songwriter from Minneapolis. He released his first album "Bittersweet" independently in Minnesota in 2009. "Bittersweet" is his first collection of songs written five years previous to it's release. "Bittersweet" is an intriguing Country Rock album that is delightfully catchy, extremely melodic, musically brilliant while still carrying intimate and honest lyrics. Produced and Engineered in Minneapolis by Matt Patrick at The Library Studio. Tyler wrote and recorded 11 original songs that include the fingerprints of many noteworthy Minneapolis musicians (Noah Levy, Joe Savage, Tyler Burkum, (ome), Caitlyn Smith.)
"Bittersweet" has traces of Dylan, The Beatles, Beach Boys, to Wilco, Ryan Adams, The Wallflowers, and even Radiohead and Mason Jennings. The songs are honest, heartfelt, at times happy, and at times heartbreaking, earning it's title "Bittersweet".
Tyler says, "I decided to take what was going on with my life: my relationships, my thoughts, my philosophies, ideas, and write them into the melodies I was hearing. At first I had no intention of making an album because I was writing to challenge myself. I guess I was listening to a lot of country music at the time and was recently fascinated with it's simplicity. I began writing simple songs from the heart, and let the music I was enjoying bleed into them."
