Johnny Lloyd Rollins
Johnny Lloyd Rollins is stepping onto 21st
century music stages with an aura many of us have not seen since
the days of black and
white television. His style has quickly gained notoriety: simultaneously
evocative of Elvis’ charisma and rockabilly roots; of McCartney’s
boyish charm, melodic sensibility and Beatles harmonies; and the
honest storytelling of Cash. While these classic nuances exist,
Rollins’ vocal vulnerability and songwriting are distinctively
original and refreshingly modern. As industry insiders from music
writers to A&R reps have quickly discovered, Rollins is poised
to bring back to music what matters most: a simple song.
This young pop singer/songwriter has had the music world buzzing
in the Lone Star State of Texas. Rollins recently has been
featured in D Magazine, Dallas Observer,
The Dallas Morning News, Modern Luxury Dallas and
was named the number 1 highlight of the IPO Liverpool festival by BBC
RADIO in England.
In January 2008 Johnny was invited to play at the Sundance Film
Festival ASCAP showcase, where he played two sold out shows at
the Music Café and Club Celsius, and was featured on 101.9fm “The
End”.

Arthur Godfrey
Arthur Godfrey may not sound like your typical
singer-songwriter, but one listen to his gritty songs about life
and surviving reveals the soul of a poet (Performing Songwriter
magazine, July/August 2005). In 2001 Godfrey released his critically
acclaimed CD East Side of Town,
catching the attention of actor/director Sean Penn, and the two
began an enduring friendship. Godfrey performed in summer 2005
in New York City for Al Pacino, Sean Lennon and others, bringing
validation to his art and keeping him, as he puts it, “fighting
in the ring.” The world is discovering Godfrey’s talent:
He’s won the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest
twice and been featured on the Americana Music Association’s
2004 compilation CD with such artists as Willie Nelson, Lucinda
Williams and the late Johnny Cash. Godfrey’s current CD Amen broke
the Americana charts top 40 this past September 2005. Godfrey now
performs for such causes as the Southern Center for Human Rights,
whose lawyers fight 24/7 against the death penalty. Having achieved
recognition among music-industry peers, he’s now focusing
on his musical play, If
I Only Knew Your Name, which
he cowrote with Edward Pittman. The play is based on 13 of his
original songs and tells the story of two people facing abusive
pasts and real-life hardships — ultimately finding self-realization
and love. He is currently performing select shows and benefits
nationwide. As Godfrey would say: To be continued.

Eddie Elliott
Eddie Elliott is a magnetic stage performer
who's had an ability to connect with people since he learned to speak:
At age two, Elliott had befriended most of his neighbors, who said
hello to him by name, much to his mother's suprise. Through choirs
and clarinets and guitar playing and songwriting his love of music
has never wavered. After earning a B.A. in English Literature, Elliott
headed to Los Angeles where he recorded his first full-length CD, Just
Flows, in a friend’s garage. He
was soon playing opening act slots at Los Angeles clubs and attracting
devoted audience. In February 2000 he recorded his second CD, Moving,
and released This Time,
his most recent recording to date, in 2003. A steady stream of live
television and radio appearances followed. In the wake of successful
shows in New York, Arizona, Colorado and Texas, Elliott prepares for
a second Nashville appearance on “Americana Tonight!” which
is recorded for syndicated radio broadcast. Elliott has shared the
stage with such seasoned performers as Junior Brown, Shawn Mullins,
John Gorka and Richie Havens. Elliott records his fourth album this
summer, which is scheduled for release later this year.
Elliott’s songs are straightforward and timeless. He writes about love,
the lure of the road, spirituality and anything else that comes his way.
He’s the consummate storyteller, his songs inspire and amaze and his
voice is strong and certain. When Elliott sings you know you’re hearing
the truth.
