Paco Shipp
One In A Million

 Paco Shipp is a multifaceted singer, songwriter, and musician, perhaps best known for his virtuoso harmonica playing, which has landed him recording work with iconic artists such as Johnny Cash, Bill Anderson, and Billy Joe Shaver. Paco also recorded with A.J. Croce, along with Jim Keltner, T Bone Burnett, and Ron Carter, in addition to touring with acclaimed bands such as the Bel-Aires and the Jamie Hartford Band.       “One In a Million” is a collection of 12 songs that show the full range of Paco’ musical soul. In addition to his stunning harmonica work, including his unique simulation of Hammond organ sounds with harp and effects, Paco’s guitar playing, previously unheard on record, fuses Delta blues slide playing, fingerpicked folk and country styles, and bracing electric leads, all of which match the power and emotion of his songs perfectly. Combined with his distinctive voice, at times reminiscent of Mark Knopfler, J.J. Cale and John Prine, and a stellar batch of new songs, “One In A Million” is the sound of an artist who has found his true voice.   The CD was produced by Nashville bassist Dave Pomeroy, and features guest appearances by bluegrass instrumental trio Three Ring Circle, and guitarists Guthrie Trapp (Jerry Douglas Band) Jamie Hartford, and Ray Flacke, but without question the star of the show is Paco himself. From the funky grooves and cryptic lyrics of “Down Here” and “My Friend Abraham”, to the tender title track and the atmospheric “Everything You Do”, and the greasy blues of “Selling Everything” and the Delta rave-up “Sister Mary”, this record is the complete picture of a man and artist who is exactly that - “One In A Million”.   For the past few years, Paco has been hard at work reinventing his musical persona and revealing the results to the world. His debut solo CD, Tip of the Tongue, released on Earwave Records in 2004, showcased a series of instrumental duets, in addition to unveiling singing and songwriting chops that perfectly complement his instrumental prowess. SInce then, Paco’s “60 second harp clinic” and performance videos on YouTube have been viewed over 90,000 times, and with the release of “One In A Million”, Paco’s career has taken yet another quantum leap.        [Read More]

Lorianna Matera
Nobody's Angel

Earwave Records is proud to announce the release of Lorianna Matera’s debut CD, “Nobody’s Angel”, signaling the arrival of a unique new talent on the acoustic music scene. Lorianna’s angelic voice defies description, and her music is a pure and honest blend of bluegrass and traditional country. Produced by Nashville bassist Dave Pomeroy, it features a stellar supporting cast of players and singers, including Sam Bush, Tim O’Brien, Larry Cordle, Ronnie and Rob McCoury, Jon Randall, Terry Eldredge, and The Whites. Lorianna puts her distinctive"acoustic country" stamp on a sweet set of top shelf songs by writers such as Loretta Lynn, Bruce Springsteen, Peter Rowan, Carl Jackson, and Gretchen Peters. Lorianna is an artist with something to say - we hope you will listen.    BIO   Lorianna grew up in a family with six children on a farm in rural New Jersey, in a home filled with traditional country music. One of her earliest memories is of hearing Merle Haggard on the radio and singing along. She was also deeply influenced by the music of Kitty Wells and Loretta Lynn. At age 13 her older brother gave her a guitar and a chord book, and she began pursuing her dream of a singing career. A few years later, she began performing live with various country bands in the Northeast before moving to Nashville in 1990. Not long after her arrival, she was befriended by Dottie West, who took the young singer/songwriter under her wing. Throughout the 90’s, Lorianna continued to hone her craft, singing demos and playing writer’s nights around Nashville. She was a featured performer at the Roy Huskey Memorial Scholarship concert at the Ryman Auditorium in 1999 and 2000, and also sang at Carnegie Hall in May 2002 as part of an all star acoustic band for CBS Television’s annual convention. Curb Records artist Keith Perry was so impressed with her voice that he asked her to record a duet of “Angel Band” with him on his latest CD.   Recently she has been staying busy performing live, writing songs, and has just released her debut CD on Earwave Records, produced by noted Nashville bassist Dave Pomeroy. She has earned the respect of her musical peers, and acclaimed artists such as Tim O’Brien, Sam Bush, Jon Randall, Ronnie McCoury and Larry Cordle have already contributed their talents to her album. Combining country and bluegrass influences with great songs and passionate performances, Lorianna’s timeless music is the traditional sound of the future.   [Read More]

Vince Santoro
Little Vinnie

Vince Santoro is a multitalented singer, drummer, and songwriter whose impressive resume includes work with Emmylou Harris, Roy Buchanan, Mary Chapin Carpenter, The Highwaymen, and Rodney Crowell. “Little Vinnie” is Vince’s alter ego artist persona. Together with hit songwriter, keyboardist and co-producer Billy Livsey, Vince has created an album that is a unique blend of rock, pop, soul, doo-wop and psychedelia that is energetic, exotic, humorous and funky. It’s all tied together by Vince’s expressive and versatile vocals, which range from classic Paul Rogers-style rock growling to soulful testifying, tight call-and-response harmonies, and hilarious spoken asides, all delivered with a rhythmic  intensity that can only come from a singing drummer.  This CD perfectly illustrates the top notch musicianship, eclectic songwriting and genre-defying production values that happen in Music City, and while it may fly under the Music Row “radar”, it can stand up with the best music found anywhere. Check out Little Vinnie - you won’t be disappointed!   [Read More]

Nashville Unlimited
Best Of Nashville Unlimited Christmas

Recorded Live at Christ Church CathedralNashville, TN 2000, 2001, 2002at the annual "Nashville Unlimited" Christmas Benefit Concert for the Room In The Inn homeless program. "Nashvillians may want to give this one to out of town friends to help them understand that the musical heart and soul of Nashville isn't centered on Music Row. Then again, in-town friends can use a lesson like that every now and again, and this would be a wonderful collection even if the performers were based in Utica, N. Y. Highly Recommended." Peter Cooper, The Tennessean>   [Read More]

Dan Blegen
Clutter & Space

Native Minnesotan Dan Blegen is one of the most unique artists to come along in quite a while. Dan’s music is a wide open melange of musical styles from old school pop to lounge jazz to blends of reggae and rock, all filtered through a bizarre lyric sensibility that draws from beat poetry, comic book tragedy, and a supremely ironic “outsider” perspective. Clutter and Space was produced by one of Dave’s longtime collaborators, Russ Pahl, who plays various guitars and steel, and features Dave on various basses, monster multi-instrumentalist Jim Hoke on saxes, harmonica, autoharp, and keyboards, Paul Scholten and Tommy Harden on drums, percussion and various loopy sounds. Imagine R. Crumb as a singer/somhgwriter and you have some idea of the zany world of Dan Blegen.   [Read More]
