ROADHOUSE SERIES presents:
 EILEN
JEWELL — Many compared her talents to those of Lucinda Williams,
Gillian Welch and June Carter Cash. The Boston Globe said, “The
slow organic sway of her melodies, and the sensual way she rubs against
the low end of her register, will remind some of Gillian Welch. Also like
Welch, her writing is both intimate and vivid, classically framed and
closely observed.” Jewell’s songs come on like nakedness and
thunder—when she hisses that she's "Too Hot to Sleep,"
you know she ain't talking about the weather.

 THE
JOSH DAVIS BAND — Roots-rock with no unnecessary frills.
The music falls just on the country side of rock n’ roll. “I’m
from a small town. I write about stuff that happens to me and to people
I’ve known. You are all my muse...” says front man and songwriter
Josh Davis. Thanks to his parents, Josh grew up with Willie Nelson pickin’
in one ear and Frank Sinatra crooning in the other. He has had the opportunity
to share the stage with the likes of Dwight Yoakam, Dexter Freebish, The
Great Divide, Joe Nichols, and his idol Charlie Robison.

RYAN — TV show One Tree Hill recently featured
Ryan's song 'Loving You', propelling it to the Top 20 on the iTunes Folk
charts in 3 countries. His song 'California' was donated to UNICEF for

water to the world's poorest children. The little indie movie Bella
that came from nowhere to win the Toronto International Film Festival
featured two of his songs as well.

Angeles singer songwriter scene," Nash has "loose, gorgeous
melodies, full of confidence, without swagger" —Los Angeles
Times

KATE — After 20 years, 11 albums, and countless shows, Katie
Logan—a.k.a. Jumpin Kate—continues to win over audiences with

Pat Benetar to Led Zepplin. Performing at venues such as the legendary
Stardust, the House of Blues, Toby Keith's bar at Harrah's and Jimmy Buffet's
restaurant at the Flamingo, her show is always fun, with a little kitsch:
AC/DC with a feather boa. Most recently, Kate won first place in the Mick's
Songwriter Shootout.

 SWALLOWS
CD RELEASE PARTY — Swallows came into being in the summer of
2007 when the indie rock band Thinland went through some major line-up
changes. They are celebrating the release of Songs for Strippers (and
other professions), music of world-weary hipsters from the forgotten
underworld of Hollywood stag films, burlesque halls, after-hours clubs
and peep shows. Swallows have emerged from the dark corridors of these
dimly-lit spaces with a collection of inspirational songs honoring strippers
and burlesque dancers everywhere.

 THE
SLEEPER PINS — The Sleeper Pins formed in the cold lonely land
of Minnesota in 2003 as a side project to the alt/art rock band Gliss,
as an outlet for some quieter, acoustic-based songs that leaned on simplicity,
atmosphere, and lyrics filled with storytelling and imagery. They are
releasing Keep It Coming Like A Miracle on Emperor Penguin Records.

melodic songs and delivers them with his own brand of laid back vocals
and surfboard cool, very hip approach." —Lucinda Williams

songwriters —"Can't Let Go," cut by Lucinda Williams on
her breakthrough Car Wheels on a Gravel Road album — and
others featured in such movies as Shallow Hal, Sunshine State
and Say It Isn't So.
