talents of the following featured artists:
LEROY
JUSTICE - "NYC's Leroy Justice has the same spark as early
Black Crowes and Mother Hips. There's enough twang to make you think
it's southern rock but the tender lyrical turns tie them closer to
Springsteen and other Northeast roots rockers. Their debut is great and
they kick ass live. Belly up to the bar and let them pour you a shot of
what you need."
Dennis Cook
Jambase
"A gritty, pure, rock n' roll vibe that comes off as both familiar
and refreshing at the same time. It's very good stuff."

scary.” He is a world-class guitarist who seamlessly moves from Chicago

lyrics that belie his age. As a performer, Dave has an electrifying
presence that has won him a growing legion of fans who believe that he
