Matthew Ryan has been making great music for over a decade.  Most recently he had a song featured on the TV show House. 

His new album, Matthew Ryan vs the Silver State, won't be released until April Fools Day, 2008 (it ain't no joke!). 

I love his music and am so honored to have him on the show.

My thanks to Holland Nix for making this happen.

 Swati, meaning "birth of a star" in Hindu, came to my attention by way of the amazing Abby White, Music Editor for Performing Songwriter Magazine.

Swati is real and refuses to be anything but herself.  She's a rare combination of fire and ice.

My thanks to John Porter and Mark McKenna for being so great in making this show happen.

Josh Doyle reminds me of Paul Weller mixed with Tom Waits.  He's passionate and is a force to be reckoned with when there's a guitar in his hands. 

His former band, The Dum Dums, opened for Bon Jovi at Wembley and had success in Europe.

My favorite way to hear Josh is solo.  Don't miss his live performance at the end of the show. 

My thanks to Speakerheart for making me aware of Josh.

Kaiser Cartel's music makes me feel like I'm running through a field of daisies.  It's stripped down and honest.  Courtney Kaiser and Benjamin Cartel make beautiful music in more ways than one.  Take a listen!
