An Acoustical Evening with

Rheaume has an undeniably powerful voice that fits perfectly with her self-written material, or any other song she chooses to perform. Like a light switch, Rheaume can go from a bright comforting harmony to a dark hard edge at the crowd's request.�--Capital Extra

Hundreds of shows, fans and great stories are bringing Amanda Rheaume to life on the entertainment scene. Amanda is rapidly climbing to the front of the pack of female artists in Canada. Determination, courage and strength typify the high energy, musically rich and diverse live performance Amanda has perfected.

Over the past three years Amanda has received critical acclaim from media across the country, opening for bands like The White Stripes, Finger Eleven, Lucinda Williams, The Trews, Sloan, Jeff Martin(The Tea Party) and Ani DiFranco to name a few. Her early performing days go as far back as 1999 sharing the stage with veterans Sarah MacLachlan, The Dixie Chicks, and The Indigo Girls at Lilith Fair in Toronto. "To share the stage with these people and connect to their audience is a challenge, and they've embraced me. It's so amazing that such a variety of crowds have taken to my music so well."

Her stage show is a high octane, energetic, tight and dynamic. Amanda and her four-piece band deliver a wide range of musical textures spanning pop, rock and alternative, sprinkled with her own unique vocal styling. Amanda exudes excitement in concert, organically drawing in the crowds' attention with her positive energy and downright natural love for music and performing.

Tara Holloway

"The girl's got a voice!"

Tara is the least bullshit artist I've ever met, she is so real, she should be the poster child for the next musical revolution...I have a great respect for her talent, she deserves our full attention. Just listen to her..just once, and you will know she is special...inspiring even.. give'em hell Tara!" -Steven L. Sheehan (musician) <><><><><><><><><><><><> Pure heart. A singer may dazzle with technique, but a VOICE, a real voice, has more. It cuts to the core without flash for flash's sake or posturing for affect. And if true soul speaks to the heart, then this voice goes deep. When Miss Holloway opens up, you immediately get the sense that there's someone real here. You remember what it's like to FEEL music rather than listen to it. She's been compared to some of the more esteemed female artists of the present and past� to the confessional style of Lucinda Williams, the haunting wail of Stevie Nicks, the broken charm of Shelby Lynne. But there is no mistaking that this is a truly original voice - someone new. A troubadour by nature and adventurer at heart, she's been singing and playing her songs across Canada extensively and started hitting south of the border into Nashville, Austin and Los Angeles, making fans with an immediate connection and a loose knit circuit of top notch musicians. Along the way, she caught the attention of enigmatic ex-Jellyfish frontman Andy Sturmer. Sturmer encouraged her to record some songs with his friend, L.A. producer Dave Way who has worked with Fiona Apple, Macy Gray & Sheryl Crow. An EP is coming in 2010. Some early recordings recently fell upon the ears of music supervisor Bob Thiele Jr. who plucked several tracks for the FX television show "Sons of Anarchy" (Thiele has subsequently received an Emmy nomination for the show's music). ~~

NLX

Pop / Indie / Alternative

BITCH GET FIT is the much anticipated, first full-length offering from NLX, but to call it a debut would be somewhat misleading. It's taken two years of preparation, collaboration and one tiny lawsuit to make this masterpiece. Recorded in both NYC and Toronto, NLX joined forces again with acclaimed producer/composer Byron Kent Wong to create an extraordinarily distinct, vibrant and compelling album. In a time of one hit wonders and copycat artists, NLX stands alone.??

Raised in the icy shadows of Canada's steel city smoke stacks, NLX hails from the proud tradition of BS-free northern songwriting women. She continues to carry the electronically edged dark pop torch with BITCH GET FIT � 16 tracks of blow your mind and open your heart lyrical and musical smack. It is "fists in the air, tears on the floor, don't look back but close the door" kind of music.

But performing live is where the full spectrum of NLX's vivid colors are at their sharpest. She may be new to you, but her keyboard/laptop toting wheels have spun hundreds of thousands of highway miles to countless gigs, big and small, always honing the craft, faithfully recreating her original works night after night, and always with the passion of a first time performance.
From 3,000+ soft-seaters while opening for Matthew Good and David Usher, to Lower East Side rock clubs to intimate cafes in Greenwich Village, NLX invites you into her heart - and makes her way into yours - with delightful blunt humor lifted from the same divine source as her music. You laugh, you cry. Experience NLX - don't be afraid, you might just find love.

P.S. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GREY, YOU SHOULD GO AND GET YOURSELF A NICE CASHMERE SWEATER INSTEAD!

Jessica Maughan

Jessica Maughan grew up singing with her very inspiring and musical family in the small town of Orrville, Ohio. THEN, she moved around...a lot. From Columbus, OH to Brooklyn, NY, to Idaho Falls, ID to Tacoma, WA and now back to the place from which she came (and swore she would never return). But, along the way, her endeavors have turned from dreams into necessity as,along-side her loving and adoring husband, she sets out to show her now 2 1/2 year-old son that he did not keep her from achieving her dreams. Instead, he became the most important reason to fight for everything she ever wanted....including him.

Barefoot Truth

Acoustic / Folk / Rock

Barefoot Truth consists of a five-piece roots-rock band from Mystic, CT. Their upbeat live show features didgeridoo, weissenborn lap guitar, upright-bass, lead harmonica, piano, and a drummer on lead locals. Their songs are hook-heavy, and their youthful energy makes listeners believe that, yes, maybe each of us can indeed make a positive impact on one another and on our planet… In fact, the band says the concept behind their new album ‘Threads’ is nothing less than “universal consciousness” – they add: “As we emerge from the wreckage of unbridled greed in America, this album aims to inspire us to re-set our value meters, and to celebrate life!”

This pure, honest spirit is reflected in BFT's growing fan base. Fan’s from all over the world are gravitating towards the band's unbridled optimism.
