Batata
Doce
Batata
Doce (Portuguese for "sweet potato") debuted in the spring
of 2007 as a guitar/vocals duo of Atlantans Russell Owens and Leticia
Arioli, performing their earliest shows at a DIY venue called the
I.S.P. space in East Atlanta. Two I.S.P. staff members saw the need
for a fuller sound, and thus Justin Sias and Todd Morrison joined on
bass and drums. Former Rock*A*Teens member/co-founder Justin
Hughes joined next as a 2nd guitarist (having previously played with
Arioli and Owens in the Atlanta rock project known as King
Congregation), and saxophonist Todd Barnett signed up soon after.
Since then the band has made a name for itself in the Atlanta area
for its Tropicalia-influenced psychedelic garage pop sound with
mostly Portuguese-language vocals.

Billy
Sunday
 Thinking
people's music. Pretty and rough. Like an elegant pedicured foot in
a comfortable old leather shoe. Make you cry. Get you laughing. Scare
the piss out of you. Honest. No excuses. We stand in reverence on the
backs of giants. We do our best to carry the flame that Woody lit and
Bob Dylan kept burning so bright in our youth. Ours is the sound of
bald tires on a back road to the party where you learned to dance.
And kissed that girl. And got in that fight. We are a great speckled
bird with Rock and Roll stuck in our craw. We live in the space
between a hot Saturday night and a cool Sunday morning. We all grew
up where Elvis drove a truck for money. And Hank used to play for
whiskey. You hear it in the songs we sing. Our separate voices become
some new greater thing. With words we hope ring true.

over a year ago, Pensacola Florida band The Cripple Lilies released

central singer/songwriter from the Lilies has scoured the corners of
the Southeast, emerging with a new project, a new band and a new
perspective on his craft. Fittingly, the working handle for the new
vision is Paper Scissors Rocketpack. |

Renee
Arozqueta
Renee
Arozqueta has constructed an engaging modern folk sound on a
foundation of classical piano instruction and self-taught guitar
skill. With the addition of an accordion to her repertoire in 2007,
her sound continued to develop. Her music carries with it a certain
realness, that can be tongue and cheek at times; an unvarnished truth
hidden by the lyrics of a hopeless romantic, whispered or belted out.
Her voice has been compared to the voices of Natalie Merchant and
Fiona Apple, but is multifaceted and dynamic.

Trish
Musgrove
 Guitarist
and songwriter Trish Musgrove's sultry, acoustic style captivates
any live audience. Her folksy, bluesy style is from living in The
South, a 20-minute marriage, her daughter, cheating men and whiskey.
Her soft, yet intense, melodic and flawless tone makes her
performance a truly enriching experience, which sets her apart from
many regional acts.
Musgrove's
delicate and thoughtful ballads are heard all the way to your soul
because she sings directly from hers. Audience members who enjoy
pure, truthful lyrics of struggle, overcoming odds, and that funny
thing we call "life" will not be let down from Musgrove's performance. |
