Chris Pierce - Chris is a often described as a soulful singer/songwriter. His music has been featured in many films and TV shows, including the Oscar winner for Best Picture "Crash". He's been performing live since he was a teenager and won rave reviews from Seal and Rosie O'Donnell. He's also a KCRW favorite. O'Donnell even recently interviewed him on her satellite radio show. Dubbed a rising star†by E! Entertainment, he never fails to deliver a heartfelt performance that will make you want to get up and dance. † † †


Lindsey Ray - The Maine native's music can be described in one word - Uplifting. Perhaps that's why Target chose her song "Brand New Day" as the song they featured in several of their commercials for the past couple of years. Her music has been featured on Ghost Whisperer, Castle and Mercy, as well as, on-air promos for the Style Network and E! Entertainment. † † †


The Quiet - The Quiet recently released their first full-length album to a packed house at the Hotel Cafe, where they nearly tore off the roof with a rousing rendition of Joe Crocker's hit, "With a Little Help From My Friends," currently found on YouTube. Self-described as Piano Pop Rock, the band draws comparisons to Ben Folds and Elton John. † † †


Amy Raasch - Amy had to learn a couple of basic guitar chords when cast as a folksinger in an indie film, and shocked everyone on set (including herself) by spontaneously writing her first song.††Encouraged by honors for her songwriting, including First Place in the† GINA Singer/Songwriter Contest, she recorded her debut album, "Love or Inertia," which made several Best of Year lists and caused Music Connection Magazine to name her "One of the Top Unsigned Artists in Los Angeles." Having recently enjoyed her first European tour, she is currently working on a new album comprised of songs handpicked from her "52 Songs in 52 Weeks" project. †


Vanessa Lengies - currently stars in the TNT hit drama "Hawthorne" along side Jada Pinkett-Smith. She's also starred in the popular films "Stick It" and "Waiting". The Canadian native became known to American audiences on the NBC hit drama "American Dreams". Her passions include, the environment, good friends and soccer.
