Hans Olson
A legend and veteran performing musician with over 40 years in the music business, Olson began his career as a lead singer in a Rock & Roll band in Southern California in 1967. He tours all over the world, but most of the time he travels the highways in Arizona where he has an amazing reputation of being a solo act that can rock a nightclub all night long. |

James Parks
James Parks is a fifth generation Arizonan. James is one of the premiere country artists in Arizona. His newest song going to radio is "Love Thing", written by Parks and produced by Steve Larson. Legendary Ray Herndon plays guitar on the song. James has been a fan favorite country artist used by KMLE radio this year for their pre-shows for Keith Urban, Toby Keith & Brad Paisley. He's also opened for country greats George Jones, Jason Michael Carroll, Big & Rich and the Muzik Mafia, Jake Owens, Diamond Rio and Tanya Tucker. His band was featured at 2009's Country Thunder in Florence. James can be seen playing often at local venues such as Toby Keith's and will be taking his show to Nashville in November.

Sydney Sprague
Every once in a great while, humanity rewards us with an artist that is truly imbued with a natural talent and a true gift of songcraft. Sydney Sprague is an artist that just could be on the verge of a similar meteoric rise bringing a new voice to the universal dilemmas of life, love and the repressed desire to demolish someone's home with a chainsaw. |

Poem
Matthew Gilbert of Poem has a captivating overall presence. He is one of the few artists that bears his heart and soul every single time he performs. Each time he performs live, he seems to fall apart on stage in an honest and sometimes painful performance of his experiences. Gilbert is a rare kind of performer to see these days. He's not interested in money or fame, but merely to share his point of view with the rest of the world through music. He lives day to day, most of the time without a roof over his head. There's something about that kind of spirit that many admire. |
 |
Courtney Marie Andrews
An indie folk singer-songwriter, musician from Phoenix, Arizona, Andrews was one of the ten artists that participated in Phoenix's first annual Winter Folk Festival. Andrews began songwriting at the age of 15, and released her first album Urban Myths in 2007 on River Jones Music when she was seventeen. She has been a top 10 seller in Phoenix next to bands like Antony and the Johnsons, Animal Collective, and Andrew Bird. |

Manufactured Defects
This is a spastic, under the top, over board new band from the US, with lots of energy and love for their craft. The modest, talented and very hard-working Josh Foster is the lead talent behind Manufactured Defects, and has been hard at work creating videos to highlight the wild yet melodic sound of the band. The band professes that some of their songs are shallow in content and rhythmic feel, but revel in the relationship with their audiences. They say that although they might never meet each listener personally, the conversation of music shows that they have more in common than would be apparent at first impression. |

Mary Hoffman w/ Darin Mahoney
Mary warmed up for Kenny Chesney at the University of Phoenix Stadium. She also won the 'Next Talented Chick' contest for Chicks with Picks and won a spot on the main stage to warm up for Michelle Branch. Hoffman has been called an acoustic-driven alternative country artist. If you like country, but not real twangy country, you'll love this. Teaming up with Mahoney on the stage, you'll experience deep, resonant levels of guitar playing. |
