Texas shredder Marina Rocks was born in Austin, Texas during a summertime heat wave. And she has never cooled off. Her mom bought her a guitar that she played till her little kid fingers bled. Then came a Marshall stack. Her semi-autobiographical composition "Shero" reflects her deep feelings of love and gratitude for the support she received from her mother. Marina is quite a guitar slinger but also an award-winning songwriter. Her songs paint stories about life and love and are full of grit and edge.

Ethan Samuel Brown is a singer-songwriter from the coal-dusted hills of Kentucky. He spent a decade in Nashville wearing various hats in the music biz. His sound lands somewhere between the introspective folk-rock of Christian Lee Hutson and the piano-driven pop sensibilities of Ben Folds. His delicate guitar work and sharp lyrical wit have drawn comparisons to James Taylor and Leonard Cohen, with a voice that's a blend of Appalachian grit and Nashville polish.
