About Shannon Kennedy

Best known to audiences throughout Southern California as a powerhouse
saxophonist, the wildly ambitious multi-talented musician has added numerous
instruments to her palette, including piano, pennywhistle and even Native
American flute. On her upcoming fifth self-produced recording "Behind Your
Eyes", Shannon is also stepping out more than ever before as a compelling lead
vocalist.

Her expansion into the rock and urban markets with this breakthrough vocal tune
builds on her enormous popularity in the jazz world via live solo performances
at hotspots like Antonucci's in Mission Viejo, CA and the The Merc in Temecula,
CA at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater, where she plays straight-ahead
jazz. She also has played venues like Anaheim's House of Blues with the popular
O.C. based Sade tribute band Taboo, with whom she also shot a TV pilot. While
showcasing her talents on all four saxes (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone) and
flute, her early 2007 album "Steppin' Up" hinted at all of the diversity to
come, with forays into pop, blues, funk, gospel, old school pop-soul and even
more exotic influences like calypso, tango and bossa nova. She's developed her
world music chops further by doing workshops and playing with the Southern
California based flamenco-global fusion band Incendio.

"I never get tired of traveling and playing music for people in various
settings," Shannon says. "Nothing is more fun than going on tour. When I was 15,
I went to an arts high school and we did shows all around the country… Still,
as much as I enjoy performing onstage and with different artists and groups, my
first love is the studio. I love writing, recording and putting songs together."

While continuing to develop her career as a solo artist and performer, she is
also busy working on numerous extracurricular activities; writing and producing
with pop/rock artists, writing and performing soundtrack and pop/contemporary
music on her favorite new instrument, the piano.

NASHVILLE, TN (Dec 2009) - Big Dream Christian Music/Indie Extreme
recording artist, Alvaro Torres debuted his newest album, Muy Personal,
at #3 on the Billboard Latin Christian Sales Chart. Alvaro is thrilled
with the initial success of his first spiritually inspired album because
it is different from his previous works. CEO of Big Dream Christian
Music, Jorge Tarajano, says, "We are blessed and fortunate for the
overwhelming welcome and reception of Alvaro's music in the Christian
Ministry."

The city of Miami, Florida, and Puerto Rico have shown their ongoing
support for Alvaro. People from these areas have listened to Alvaro's
music for years and share a strong personal bond with him. Alvaro's Muy
Personal is reaching a new audience through the Christian industry, and
unsurprisingly still adored by his huge fan base. The veteran musical
artist has won awards and earned numerous Gold and Platinum records in
the past, and hopes to achieve the same with this album.

After being involved in a tragic single car auto accident where one
person died and all were badly injured, Alvaro realized the power of
God. The incident became the inspiration for this album's title and
songs because God had approached him in a "very personal" manner. Alvaro
is known for his array of love songs, and is now creating songs
dedicated to the love of God.

Indie Extreme, which is based in Nashville, Tenn., represents musical
acts ranging from folk legend Judy Collins to hit CCM artist Matt
Brouwer. The firm partners with Universal Music Christian Group/Fontana
for distribution and retail marketing, along with providing various
label services to independent labels.

Remember the TV show Twin Peaks? Were you one of the regulars who watched it as
much for the charming, creep-out, beautifully psycho music as much as the plot?
If so, this is a must-have album, featuring 2 totally exclusive Julee Cruise
songs you can't find anywhere else except the full motion picture soundtrack.
And if the Twin Peaks music was your kind of thing, you're in luck- this album
brings you more of the eerie, dreamy and disturbed personality that made the
show so distinct (and gave Julee a new wave of fans).

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON – Capitol Theater

January 8th, 2010 – The Seashell and the Clergyman

Siouxsie and the Banshees co-founder, bassist, and songwriter Steven Severin
makes his Pacific Northwest debut for 'Music for Silents' in Olympia, WA, where
he'll do live scoring to a screening of the 1928 surrealist classic "The
Seashell & the Clergyman", plus a programme of scores to short films by emerging
avant-garde filmmakers. A rare appearance and event that is not to be missed!

SlowdiveMusic blog review excerpts of NYC performance/October 2009:

"Iconoclastic artist, iconoclastic film—the night was set to be unforgettable.
He took his seat by his equipment, and the film, "The Seashell and the
Clergyman", began to roll as he generated the soundscape. But Severin's music to
the film was not mere cut-the-idea-on-the-screen-and-paste-it-to-music, but
rather an expansion, an elaboration of the moods and emotions on the screen.
Instead of the music working to enhance the visual, or the visual as a means of
passive experience while listening to music, they both worked hand-in-hand to
create an experience that was at both visual and audio, an experience that was
both intellectual (as you pondered the elusive narrative on the screen) and
visceral (as you tried to understand your own reaction to the sensory overload).
This was an amazing experience. Severin has always had the power to influence
his peers. And as history is starting to show, he can even influence future
generations into a new mindset about how to approach music."

New York-based electro disco duo Koko Dozo announced that they signed a
deal with Red Star Records, run by former New York Dolls manager,
A&R/record producer Marty Thau (Suicide, The Real Kids, The Fleshtones).
The label will release Koko Dozo's debut EP in March 2010.

Koko Dozo truly is music for the Space Age. It's ultra modern and it's
made using the latest technology and olde skool organic matter. They're
beaming up sound waves that vibrate in the key of GROOVE, dipped in the
house special surreal sauce. Urban organica. Celestial demonica.
Yeah...Space Is The Face.

Amy Douglas & Polarity/1 are from planet Koko Dozo. What planet are you
from? They discovered Earth on Feb. 23, 2008 when Nacotheque hosted the
release party for their debut, ILLEGAL SPACE ALIENS on subTEKst

Polarity/1, multi-instrumentalist/arranger/composer/producer, makes
songs without borders and beats for curved dancefloors using REAL

cultural artifacts, barks and growls of ghosts in machines and
luminescent sarcastic spaghetti. Then a pinch or two of the house
special surreal spice. P/1 has four cult classic CDs of both
electro-folk songs and all-instrumental electronica on subTEKst

New York, November 24, 2009 - Boston singer/songwriter and guitarist
Reed Waddle can add another notch to his guitar strap after his Grand
Prize winning performance at the New York Songwriters Circles
(http://www.songwriters-circle.com) fourth annual Songwriting Contest
finale at the venerable Bitter End. Reed's soulful performance of his
single "Piece By Piece" brought New York's music faithful to their feet
and ultimately captured the votes of the blue ribbon panel of judges
assembled.

"I am so thrilled to have even be selected as a finalist," said Reed
Waddle. "To win such a prestigious contest is a dream come true and to
be honest it really has not settled in yet, I am truly elated. I can't
say enough about the New York Songwriters Circle, it is rare that you
meet so many amazing musicians."

Taking home second place honors this year was another Boston-based
singer/songwriter and jazz vocalist Julia Easterlin for her unique
single "Go Straightaway." Clara Olman, of Nashville, TN, secured third
place for her single "Song For Ruthie," which infused phrasing from
renowned 20th century classical French composer Claude Debussy Claire de
Lune.

"Reed's performance and the way he presented his song was clean and of a
very high professional caliber," said Tina Shafer, Artistic Director for
the New York Songwriters Circle and host of the contest. "He completely
impressed everyone with his smooth voice and is definitely ready to
breakout into the mainstream."

Serving as judges for this years competition were Grammy Award winning
songwriter/producer/legendary rock performer John Oates, Grammy Award
winning producer Russ Titelman, Q104.3 Jonathan Clarke and many more.

Reed will be receiving $10,000 in cash, a performance spot with Grammy
Winner John Oates in Aspen, CO, a top of the line Gibson acoustic
guitar, an opportunity to record with Grammy Award Winning Producer
Glenn Barrett and a guest spot on Jonathan Clarke's"Out of the Box"
radio show on New York's Q104.3.

Past winners of the worldwide recognized New York Songwriter's Circle
annual Songwriting Contest include such notable performers as Kate
Voegele, Company of Thieves and Mieka Pauley.

The magical night of original and unique music came to a conclusion when
John Oates took to the brick walled stage of the Bittern End and
performed his Grammy Award Winning song "She's Gone" to cap off an event
that will not soon be forgotten.

Sponsors for the 2009 Songwriting Contest include: Gibson Guitars,

Koko Dozo's newest single release, "Gangsta" is now available. This comes after
"The Shine," which was a successful collaboration with DJ Morsy.  Already chosen
to be part of the compilation "Attack Of The Blog" (a second 'Blog themed'
compilation for Buzzard Gulch Records), the song steps it up with original
breaks and the famous tantric loops of Polarity/1. The vocals of singer Amy
Douglas are impressive and wide ranging on this track as she succeeds at getting
you into the groove as well as altering her style to expose a somewhat gentler,
more sultry side. The Space-based duo is once again back. Stand clear of the
closing doors please, because the dance floor is moving!

Announced as part of several new features, including We7 and Spotify
links, the every genre, every angle music platform has been growing in
popularity since its launch earlier this year.

"Premium content is and will always be our focal point, but having the
addition of quality content pouring into Rivmixx from all over the web
will add another layer of engagement for our community," explained MD,
Danny Mac.

Not only does Rivmixx provide at least twenty news worthy features each
month - that's more than many magazines produce in a year - it also puts
forward all the latest albums reviews, the latest technology tried and
tested, cool websites offered up for perusal and now, as well as its own
hand penned news, it provides aggregated news from the most popular
music sites in every genre. Blues, reggae, jazz, country, R&B, hip hop,
dance, rock, pop and other all have their very own sections, all of
which run a steady stream of news from the most popular sites.

"We7 and Spotify links have now been added to our editorial too,"
continued Danny Mac. "This allows users to stream their favourite
artists whilst browsing Rivmixx.com"

Any album, feature or news item mentioned within Rivmixx links through
to the tracks on Spotify or We7 - allowing music fans to not only listen
to the latest music for free, but also get the information surrounding
them, professional reviews and a chance to add their own comments. In
many cases there's interviews with the artists themselves too and the
opportunity to become a fan and then receive all the artist's own news,
blog posts and video/track/image updates.

Any fan that signs up to Rivmixx automatically gets their own 'mymixx',
which is an individually tailored magazine that's produced by the
artists - latest news, music, videos, blogs and events - and includes
the latest news and album reviews as posted by Rivmix itself. It's
another, unique magazine created by the fan for the fan, produced by
their favourite artists.

Rivmixx, which launched earlier this year, has been growing steadily, in
content, design, and communication. The company has proved itself as
something of a taste making voice too, with several hot new acts –
including Florence and the Machine, Speech Debelle and Toddla T -
profiled and channelled through Rivmixx, going on to find serious
success within the industry.

Chart topping artists such Chase & Status, The Flaming Lips and Robbie
Williams are also featured. And now, with the addition of this new
aggregated news feature, musicians from within the country and blues,
among other genres, will be catered for too.

From album and new music technology reviews, interviews, festival
specials, ticket giveaways, exclusive audio and video content, to hot
off the press news updates; every detail is carefully designed by a team
of leading music industry professionals to provide users with an
unrivalled music resource.

Interested users can sign up to http://www.rivmixx.com using their
facebook accounts, or create a new, unique, tailored profile.

Birdland in Midtown on December 1st?  With special guests Eric Alexander on
sax, and Jeremy Pelt on trumpet, as well as Xavier Davis on piano, Darrell Green
on drums, and Ray Drummond on bass the show is destined to be fantastic!
 
I am sure most of you are familiar with Jackie’s work, but if not, you
should!  She weaves together a variety of genres, including swing, Spanish love
songs, New Orleans blues, to bebop and more, and her music has been featured on
the likes of NPR, CNN, and A&E.  Jackie’s new double album, Doozy, has spent
seven weeks at #1 on the Jazz Charts and received 4-star reviews from both Down

and I highly recommend seeing her live at least once!

Stephen Michael Apatow's latest track, "If You Loved Me," is an
uplifting song that testifies to this artist's passion for
humanitarianism and the grassroots fight against poverty. "If You Loved
Me" features a driving beat behind ambient synthesized tones and rich
chords. The piece builds to a thumping, danceable groove under the
heartfelt lyrics.  If this tune does one thing, it shows how passionate
Apatow is for his music and, more importantly, for his cause.

Amyrh Harris aka "kid BLenG BLenG" was born on August 2nd 2002. At the
age of 3, he was inspired by break dancing crews and krumpers to become
the great little dancer he is today. Just before his fifth birthday, he
signed on with LA Models and almost immediately began working. His first
job was an episode of "The Shot", a television reality competition for
photographers. He was one of the little child models they featured. His
next big job was in the music video "Cops Up" for singer Lyfe Jennings.
Amyrh claims that was his favorite job so far because there were other
break-dancers on set who taught him alot. Shortly after filming the
music video, he landed the recurring role of Theo Carver on the soap
opera "Days of Our Lives". He also appeared with "Flava Flav" on an
episode of "Flavor Of Love" and "The Land of the Lost". He has now made
a jump into the super members only Hip Hop arena with his smash video
heating up the scene with over 10,000+ plays on Vladtv.com in only a few
days.

"We feel that Hip Hop is a segregated art form these days, but we also
feel that children now with the emergence of kiD BLenG BlenG will have
their own honest, authentic, non-corrupting music to enjoy" states Gary
Williams and Downtown Isis of Bustback.net.

their work, dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling
with depression, self-injury and suicide. They exist to encourage, educate,
inspire and invest into prevention, treatment and recovery.

The inspiring music of X: THC combines the multi-layered hypnotica of smoothly
grooving electronic beats, warm emotive alternative indie rock, coldly induced
new wave post-modernism, lush, heartfelt, romantic blue-eyed soul & classic
songwriting, with an otherworldly experimental soundscape. X: THC breaks down
the walls between musical genres, challenging categorization, while
communicating performance through multiple sensory applications, known as
"synesthesia".

The live music and film multimedia experience examines the human condition,
pulling you in to an alternate reality...UnratedNYC Magazine wrote, "X: The
Human Condition is an emotionally cataclysmic event that will resonate in your
subconscious for weeks…" .

Hypnotically delicious, it is a trance-inducing trip inside the human
subconscious, combining hypnotic, surreal soundscapes with phantasmagorical,
emotionally charged visual storytelling to create a unique and inspiring music
and film multimedia experience.

X: The Human Condition alchemically fuses together influences of luminaries such
as Tim Burton, Michael Gondry, Antoine St. Exupery, Darren Aronofsky, Guillermo
Del Toro, Jean Cocteau, Rod Serling, The Brothers Grimm, and Joseph (John)
Merrick, to create an imaginative, terrible beauty, both real and unreal, where
the mind can make a hell of heaven, and a heaven of hell... X: The Human
Condition.
