BANDS
Air Museum
Air Museum sounds like Jeff Buckley filling in for Beck while Sufjan Stevens and Bjork fiercly knit sweaters for Radiohead. . . all while Frank Sinatra and the dead members of the Beatles dance around a fire sparked by Prince's hot pants.

Jason Crigler Band
One of the most sought-after musicians in NYC, Jason Crigler joins forces with Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann, Graham Parker, Sleepy LaBeef) on bass and Dan Rieser (Jesse Harris, Norah Jones, Marcy Playground) on drums, to bring us The Jason Crigler Band. The debut album "Down Like Hail" grew from Jason's love of blues and gospel music and his desire to leave his own mark on those evocative musical forms. The album, recorded live to a 1/4 inch 2 track, captures the intensity and feeling only found on vinyl.

Neverwas
Two-time Grammy Nominated songwriter/producer Christopher Cunningham is Neverwas. Written, recorded, and remixed over several years in a wide variety of locations, nations, and situations. It comes to you from hotel rooms, jumbo jets, the middle of lakes, numerous basements, alleys, cornfields, streetcorners, and balconies filling with jungle rain. It’s filled with masterful guest performances by Marshall Crenshaw, Jason Crigler and many others.
Neverwas is digital folk music both urban and rural, intended for your postnational and eventually posthuman listening pleasure. May it keep your hardware hard, and your software soft.

The Beckoning
"Lilydale Road," the debut album from The Beckoning, follows a young man through a sparsely produced tapestry of honesty and raw emotion, drawn from tales of youthfulness, obsession, lost love, and the journey home. Recorded in the shadows of the old hotel, in random bathrooms, stairwells and apartments, Jared (singer/songwriter for The Beckoning) has taken his acoustic beginnings and turned them into a hypnotic collage of enchanting melodies, eerie harmonies, and wistfully poignant lyrics that create more than a truly original album, but a story that will surely enamor as it unfolds.
