Eli Cook

Born: April 24, 1986

Eli Hudnall Cook was born in Nelson County, Virginia on April 24, 1986. He grew up in a world of "old cars, chain-saws, and guitars" in a Blue Ridge Mountain hollow where radio still reigned, and telephones and television failed. Eli began playing Gospel at revivals when he was 15, and still never forgets to "take you to church" at some moment in his performance today. Eli describes his music as "blue, blue, Blues." Phil Reser, of BluesWax describes Eli as "a young gun with an old soul who storms through slide guitar romps, tackling the Blues, and sounding like his generation's Son House or Elmore James

Jacob Allen Deaton

Born: March 4, 1982

When Atlanta jazz guitarist Jacob Deaton plays, his guitar is transformed into a mode of transportation, chartered by improvisation, he takes listeners on a musical journey through jazz and blues canons, piercing melodies and modern conceptualization. Jacob’s music could be described as traditional swing mixed with modern harmonic concepts but this would only scratch the surface. From the first note, the music that Jacob creates has always had a strong melodic root that is adventurous as well as engaging to the listener’s ears. Constantly searching for a new idea with every chorus that passes by, he reaches within for visual references from the past to serve as a catalyst for artistic exploration. Recent performance credits include a featured performance at the 2010 Atlanta Jazz Festival and his latest record entitled "Tribulation" is set to release in late Summer of 2011.

MOOD I mean the music inseparable from the sound...and the sound expressing emotions, visions, states of consciousness...by this I simply say that with all the good intentions, and despite my efforts, I can't understand that kind of musicians who sacrifice music on behalf of the technique...although I believe that this art is so wide as to give a some space for us all...I don't want to judge but only talk about what fascinates me...simplicity is not necessarily trivial, just beyond the mind to go directly to the soul, regardless of the fashion of the moment...in zen philosophy the virtuosity is carefully avoided, as the musician and the listener away from their essence and then...it all depends on what you look...and by the look...

Mike Delledera

BROOKLYN, NY 2014 Singer, songwriter, and ace guitarist Mike Delledera’s debut full-length album, WakeUpSideDowntown (Ivy Productions, Inc.), released May 13th, brims with epiphanic genre-bending, virtuoso musicianship, expansive expressiveness, and topnotch songwriting. On it, the Brooklyn-based artist is backed with longtime friends, bandmates and a roster of New York City’s finest young session cats. It’s a masterful debut from an artist on the verge. “I’m really excited for everyone to hear this record; the songs were burning a hole in my heart and mind,” says Delledera. And after a successful Kickstarter campaign, Delledera was able to create the album he artistically envisioned. The nine-song record showcases an imaginative musical mind capable of fusing bluegrass, swampy funk, stained-glass gospel, and brawny rock with clever song structures, thought-provoking lyrics, pop-rock hooks, and exploratory musicianship
