In a field traditionally dominated by women, jazz vocalist Andy Bey has made a name for himself as a unique song interpreter as well as a skilled pianist, his deep, resonant voice the polar opposite of the usual feminine take on the jazz legacy. While Bey's source materials have ranged far and wide over the course of his long career, AMERICAN SONG finds him sticking strictly to the tried-and-true Great American Songbook. Amazingly, Bey finds something new in old war-horses like "Lush Life," "Satin Doll," and "Speak Low."
Artfully idiosyncratic production by Herb Jordan and angular, modernistic horn arrangements from co-pianist Geri Allen don't hurt, but it is Bey's luxurious voice that truly carries things. The combination of emotional immediacy and hushed intimacy he brings to the opener, "Never Let Me Go," is a textbook example of how a great singer can inhabit a song and reveal its hidden aspects from within. Neither as conventional as Kevin Mahogany nor as envelope-pushing as Kurt Elling, Bey is very much his own man, constantly in the process of creating his own unique paradigm amid the highly flexible borders and boundaries of modern jazz.

TYDYL WAVE UNLEASHES RAW EMOTION GEARED TO BREAK DOWN THE WALLSMemphis Band's Powerful First Single "Lay Down" Picking Up Steam at AC, Top 40 and Rock StationsTrue to the spirit of Memphis' rock and roll legacy, Dave Chenault, founder, chief songwriter and lead singer of TYDYL WAVE is characteristically excited and optimistic about going the independent route in releasing his band‚s debut CD. A true survivor of the competitive Memphis music scene, which has most recently spawned Siliva, Dust for Life, and Skillet, Chenault realizing his lifelong dream of making a positive impact on people through music--believes the time is now for everyone to experience Tydyl Wave's emotionally charged Break Down The Walls. In many ways, he's been preparing for this great challenge his whole musical life. While paying his dues in cover bands, Chenault found intense strength through adversity that characterizes both his lyrics and a raw, unbridled vocal power that turns every audience member into a true believer. The Tydyl Wave ("Tydyl" draws from the names of his two sons, Tyler and Dylan) is catching fire, as the band prepares to tour in support of its newly released CD, spurred on by radio‚s phenomenal multi-format reaction to the first single "Lay Down." Thus far, stations from Florida to California, ranging from adult contemporary to Top 40 to rock, have jumped on board, with many more anticipated in the coming weeks.Although Chenault did'‚t set out to tell a complete tale of struggle and redemption via his song titles, "Lay Down" reflects the peace Chenault has found after numerous wild nights out on "Deception Road" searching for "Pieces of Gold" which might help him get "Past the Past." Both in his musical pursuits and personal relationships, Tydyl Wave's lead singer and acoustic guitarist is a survivor, finding therapeutic emotional release in every note he sings. When Chenault vows on "Lay Down," With clear resolve, I'll reach the highest summit of my dreams, he is inviting the world to take the risk, journey through the darkness to light on ...

Some say Brother Moon is genreless. Whether it be the Latin stylings of "Shadow of My Low", the Blues sound of "Bumble Bee", the Johnny Cash influenced "Whiskey", or the Motown beat of "First Time in a While", Brother Moon knows no limits or boundaries when it comes to exploring musical genres; yet underlying this exploration are pure rock undertones that provide a consistently rhythmic sound throughout all of their work. Combining acoustic rhythm guitar and electric lead guitar, the music has the folk influence of the acoustic but the edgier rock sound of the electric lead solos. Fans have consistently stated that the deep lyrical content and stylings mixed with the soaring electric guitar tone of the lead solos are the consistency throughout this multi-genre exploration that makes the Brother Moon sound familiar and nostalgic to anyone that has heard them. Mixing the percussive style of acoustic rhythm guitar from Lead Singer/Songwriter Jim Outlaw with the soaring electric solos of Lead Guitarist Ryan Heenan, the guitars provide the back bone of the music and a familiar consistency to fans, despite delving in many forms of musical style. The improvisational style of lead guitarist Ryan Heenan is heavily influenced by Trey Anastasio of Phish and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Whether a simple Blues lead, a structured rock riff, or complex Jazz solo, the tone and feel of Heenan's play always reflects a journey through his soul. The lyrical content and style of Jim Outlaw's writing can be deep and soul searching, uplifting, and sometimes humorous; but is always clever, well-articulated, and paints a clear picture in the listener's head while telling a simple story that strikes ...
