Amanda Abizaid
 You
know the voice, but you probably don't know the name: That is the Amanda Abizaid
story. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, singer/songwriter Abizaid has spent the last
couple of years as a vocalist-for-hire, contributing her singing to such TV
programs as The 4400 (the theme song, "A Place in Time"), Smallville, and
Charmed. Her new album, The Great Plan Vol. II, represents a singular vision,
one that is not bound by any stylistic handcuffs as Abizaid veers from acoustic
pop to modern rock and even slight touches of Americana. Abizaid's flute playing
provides some of these songs a sort of late '60s/early '70s vibe although none
of it is dated. There are countless vocalists who go through anonymous TV gigs
but Abizaid separates herself with a voice slices above the mainstream and an
adventurous spirit which makes her album unpredictable and mesmerizing.

Anne Mironchik
 Cool
Jazz meets Carole King and Burt Bacharach. Anne's songs are reminiscent of adult
contemporary hits of 70s & 80s with some added swing. She earned her
conservatory degree in jazz and skillfully combines that training with her roots
in rock, blues, R&B and country. Weaving in lyrics that are sensible, without
being sentimental, she never misses a toe-tapping beat as she explores the
struggles, loves, fears and joys of everyday heroes.

Minogue has been a singer, songwriter and musician
her entire life. Her father was a professional
musician and their household in New York City was
always filled with music and talent, giving her a
positive perspective of the industry as a wonderful
way to make a living. Her musical influences have
ranged from Patti Smith to Led Zeppelin and
everywhere in-between. The Annie Minogue Band (AMB)
has a driving and energizing sound, which combines
a gutsy rock attitude with great pop sensibility
and a hint of the blues, is reminiscent of some of
rock's greatest female icons like Heart, Stevie
Nicks and Pat Benatar while still exemplifying a
unique and contemporary edge. The lineup which
consists of Nunzio Signore (Guitar), Jeff Catania
(Guitar), Nick Saya (Drums), Peter Williamson
(Bass) and Minogue (Vocals) never fails to
stimulate and excite audiences. Annie's
breakthrough solo debut album "Home" was released
in 2000 on the Nippon Crown label in Japan, pulling
in nonstop great reviews and leading to another
release on Annie's own imprint Liberty Place
Records called "Love Parade." Minogue's craft for
songwriting along with her powerfully expressive
voice have given her firm roots within the music
world. Having garnered acclaim and praise from some
of today's top music supervisors and program
directors, Minogue's music has enjoyed some
substantial media time, being featured on film, TV
and radio. AMB just released their latest CD
"Tripping The Velvet," a true tour de force of
songwriting, production and musicality. Just one
listen and you will understand why so many people
keep falling in love with their music in the first
place.

Claire Wyndham
 Described
as a melodically gifted songstress with a big
future, Australian singer/songwriter Claire Wyndham
has been turning heads since her first public
performance in 2002. Within twelve months she had
played showcases at Australia's premier music
venue, 'The Basement', performed at the East Coast
Blues and Roots Festival, had a song included on
the soundtrack of Aussie surf film 'Liquid Bridge',
and professionally recorded five of her songs. Not
bad this is one young lady who doesn't muck around.
Since then, Claire has toured constantly, both in
her home country and through the US, building up a
solid fan base - she was the first Australian
artist ever to be booked on the world's greatest
floating music festival, "The Rock Boat," along
with Sister Hazel, Emerson Hart, Collective Soul
and Josh Kelley. She's also shared the stage with
the likes of Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin, Patty
Griffin, John Hiatt and many more. Now, with her
first official release under her belt, Claire has
come a long way...with an undeniable stage presence
and incredibly comfortable in front of any type of
audience, she's ready to do whatever it takes to
follow her passion. Claire doesn't stand out
because she's trying to be something she's not. She
stands out because she's
honest. She sings the truth and her listeners
relate to that. As Claire sings in her song 'Here
was Blue', There was hurt, there was pain, there
was pleasure, there was rain, there was you. At
times she's
heartbroken, at times she's
ecstatic. And aren't
we all?
