Sometimes an artist comes along and stops you in your tracks. That's what it was like the first time we heard Daphne. We've loved her--and her music--ever since. Songs like "I Will Be Waiting", "Weatherman" and "Do What You Want" keep us coming back for more. Critics call her latest CD "the defining work of a young artist who matters." Daphne is, no doubt, a young artist who matters. Her song "Sad" was recently featured on an episode of One Tree Hill on the CW Network. And in January, she performed at the prestigious 30A Songwriters Festival in FL where she performed a song with John Oats (Hall & Oats). One reviewer wrote she was his "favorite new artist" at the show. Early in her career, Willis was being compared to a young Rickie Lee Jones and a female Jack Johnson. Soon, other artists will be compared to Daphne Willis. We're honored that 12 Grapes is a stop on Daphne's national tour. Daph... we'll leave the light on. **Free Admission** Listen on youtube | ||

Brian Fitzpatrick back in October of 2001. He had traveled to CT in support of a friend and fellow musician I’d come quite a distance to see myself. I had heard of Brian months before, via a fan so convinced of his musical excellence he actually gave me (a complete stranger, mind you) both Fitzpatrick albums that had been released to date…discs that clearly evidenced an ability for songwriting. But it wasn’t until this much later opportunity to hear him live that I fully began to grasp the depth of Brian’s talents. Songs like “I Can’t Be Your Savior” from his 1998 debut album, Other Side and “Caroline” from its 2000 follow-up When I Bleed, took on a whole new life when witnessed in their purest communicative form – merely voice, guitar and the spirit behind the compositions permitted to touch audience .

Although a blur to some, the nineties will always be known as the decade the world became a smaller place. Cell phones, e-mail, and .com address were just a few of the things that changed the way we all live today. Along with this new “digital age” came a sincere, heart felt form of music from Seattle known as Grunge. Unlike their predecessors of the late 80’s, bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, & Soundgarden began writing darker/ heavier music filled with angst and pain, an influence that can still be heard in many modern rock bands today. At the top of the list is Alice In Chains. Known for their patented harmony vocals, big guitars, and haunting melodies there is no band more qualified to represent this decade of lost souls. | ||
