A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Julie Gribble’s urban folk with a twist of Americana and good ole rock and roll has entranced audiences with her modern stories of life, love and relationships. Gribble’s guest appearances include, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Tyra Banks Show and Good Day Atlanta. She received the 2005 LA Music Award for Best Adult Alternative Artist. Described as "dixie fried roots rock with a dash of punk," Caddle draws on classic country and bluegrass influences, then supercharges them with hard driving rock n' roll with an attitude. Caddle has opened shows for artists such as Billy Joe Shaver, Kid Rock, and The Black Crowes, Timothy O'Donovan is emerging as a singer/ song writing force to be reckoned with. Simple, catchy melodies married to a flair for personal storytelling, his music is at once both vast and un-complicated. Timothy's second full length CD "One Night in Nowhere" is set for release Fall of 2009. Chris Unck is a one man band who plays, produces, mixes, masters & engineer most of his music.
