Mike Dawes is an Acoustic/Alternative artist from Surrey, UK. He plays acoustic/semi/electric guitar, and the most popular of these styles is laying a guitar on his lap and playing without strumming, much like a piano or keyboard. The music he writes and performs is very visual and through a long string of live shows, you can see has a very broad appeal, not just with guitarists, but to all musicians and music fans alike. You should definitely listen to this guy if you want to hear something new!

Tristan Seume is one of the UK’s finest young fingerstyle guitarists. Delighting audiences up and down the UK with his blend of folk, country, Celtic and neo-classical styles, and with his cheerful stage presence, he has been likened to players such as John Renbourn and Gordon Giltrap. His debut CD, Friday Street is available from www.guitarcds.net. Go and check him out!

Jonathan Cutrell is an Acoustic/Indie/Rock artist from Cleveland, Tennessee. You get more than you expect from this guy, from great catchy lyrics, to impressive melodies. He combines good old fashioned American rock with more modern sounds, influenced by the likes of The Rocket Summer. Musically, his songs are reminiscent of The Hold Steady’s older stuff, but fused with Jonathan’s original vocal style, they make a great combination! Someone needs to pick this guy up!

Tim is an example of true talent in the unsigned music world. With one of the best voices that we’ve heard in a while and a vast range of influences from David Gray to Ray Lamontagne, it’s very easy to imagine this guy going places. His acoustic tracks mix subtle percussion and keyboard (all played by himself) resulting in some incredibly relaxed music. His debut self-released album is now available on Itunes and we definitely recommend that you check it out! We’re happy to say that Tim will be part of our upcoming unsigned album!

Rob Fisher is an Acoustic/Alternative artist from Guildford, UK. Guitar wise, he uses big spacious chords in ‘double drop D’ and vocal wise, hints on Daniel Johns and Brandon Boyd. His tracks range from an edgy and fresh rock sound to a full and distinctive acoustic sound which shows off his Brandon Boyd (Incubus) like vocal style. With Rob, you can’t help but stop what your doing and listen; I think we can expect bright things from this guy in the future.

‘Boyce Avenue, a Florida-based band, popular for their strong acoustic roots and constant drive toward a melody and harmony-driven rock sound.’ The influences on this band shine through in their music. Hints of artists such as the Goo Goo Dolls and Third Eye Blind mixed with Boyce Avenues own undeniably fresh sound make for great listening. Their debut album, titled “All You’re Meant To Be,” was released by Boyce Avenue on March 25, 2008, and it’s definitely worth getting a copy.
