Bruce
Bielawa - Greetings from No Return (CD)
The mostly acoustic Greetings from No Return offers sometimes light-hearted,
sometimes haunting portraits of intimacy and isolation in the modern
world. Bruce Bielawa traverses seas of information [Sand], the loss
of love and innocence [Valentine] and life's great thresholds [Old
So(u)l] with wit, passion and uncommon musical skill. Greetings
from No Return is edgy, intricate, truly alternative music. |

TONK
- The Fences Show (CD)
"What if the place we lived reflected what we did to each other?",
the first line of The Fences Show, sets in motion the metaphoric
universe explored over the course of the CD's thirteen tracks. Conceived
as a multi-disciplinary evening length performance, The Fences Show
features music by composers Derek Bermel, Lisa Bielawa, Wiek Hijmans,
Toek Numan, Aaron Stewart, and Daniel Worley, written around a scenario
by writer Wendy S. Walters. Through its symbolic story emphasizing
the tensions between change and nostalgia, community and independence,
renovation and demolition, and love and self-love, The Fences Show
provides a truly unique musical and dramatic experience that is
both humorous and deeply moving. |

with samba- and zydeco-flavored soul played with exceptional artistry
and musicianship. Featuring singer-songwriter Derek Bermel on keyboards
and caxixi, Bobby Roe on bass and vocals, Mark Tewarson on guitar
and vocals, and Mat Deveau on drums, the band's self-titled first
release is filled with subtle, danceable funk ("don't panic") and
hauntingly groovy hooks ("child in your eyes"). |

Albin Zak - Across the Brazos
-- "...carries you down back roads as dusty as Albin's expressive
tenor, beneath skies as wild and stormy as Zoe's plaintive accordian."
--Andy Glass, The Musicians' Exchange
-- "A homemade album that doesn't look or sound like one, "Across
the Brazos"...is a collection full of atmosphere and feeling." --Jeremy

has been as mature, fully-realized and satisfying as this one."
