JOHN MURRY

Released his solo debut album ‘The Graceless Age’ out April 2, 2013. The Tupelo, Mississippi singer/songwriter, and co-owner of Evangeline Records, lays his life out on the tracks of this album.

 Now a resident of California, Murry, a cousin to renowned author William Faulkner, the Nobel Prize laureate who battled alcohol addiction for most of his life, follows in his foot- steps battling drug addiction, as reflected in his song  ‘Little Colored Balloons’.as Murray recalls a near death experience, and his battle with Heroin addiction.

The album is heart-wrenching and somewhat alluring, as he tells the harsh truth about his life, exposing the pain and loss he suffered because of his addiction. Just maybe this is what it will take to keep him on the straight and narrow once and for all.

TYLER HILTON: SINGER/SONGWRITER/ACTOR

Tyler Hilton,  released the Deluxe Version of his album ‘Forget The Storm’ out 4/3/2013, only available on iTunes. The original album came out one year ago on April 3,2012.

The Singer/Songwriter, added 4 acoustic versions of songs from the original album and one new acoustic song ‘Next To You’, which is a nice addition to the album.

The original is a Pop/Rock/Folk infusion, with the acoustic versions of the tracks toned down and presents a raw version on trend with the Americana Folk sound of the original songs.  Hilton is at his best singing solo with just a guitar, when he sings ‘Ain’t No Fooling Me’, ‘Jenny’, ‘Loaded Gun’, and Prince of Nothing’. 

Hilton is also an actor and has appeared in 29 episodes of “One Tree Hill” and he played his musical inspiration ‘Elvis Presley’ as a young man in the movie “Walk The Line”.  Music is definately one of his assets, and hopefully he will continue singing and writing for us.

JOSH KRAJCIK:SINGER/SONGWRITER

Josh Krajcik: Singer/Songwriter released his first studio album 4/2/2013  BLINDLY, LONELY, LOVELY.  Josh’s powerful vocals will give you goose bumps. He previously

released an EP in December.

The American born, burrito slinger, singer from Ohio came to our attention on X Factor last year. He didn’t win the $5 million dollar recording contract; he was the second place runner up. But no worries with a voice like his, he is sure to make $5 million dollars, and on his own terms.

RollingStone Music:  Dan Hyman 3/6/2013

Blindly, Lonely, Lovely is not the "straight-rock" album Krajcik believes many fans might have anticipated he'd make. Rather, it's a collection of blues-drenched melodies that incorporate jazz and soul in equal parts. Naturally, they make use of the singer's best instrument – his voice.

The burly guy with the scraggly hair, who looks like he just crawled out of bed sings from the heart, and brings us songs like ‘One Thing She’ll Never Know’, ‘Don’t Make Me Hopeful’, ‘Let Me Hold You’, and  many more songs of love and love lost.

His honest, heartfelt approach will make you a fan immediately.

The Hollywood Reporter:  Michelle Amabile Angemiller 4/1/2013

Kracjik co-wrote many of the songs with a stable of writers including White (Florence +The Machine), Julian Bunetta (Leona Lewis), Andrew Frampton (Natasha Beddingfield, The Script), Chris Seefried (Fitz & The Tantrums, Haley Reinhart), Steve Kipner (Christina Aguilera, 98 Degrees) and Robson (Rascal Flatts, Take That). Many of the themes explore romance and matters of the heart, but everybody has a dark side, and Kracjik has no trouble delving into his when he's composing.
