Daniel Schroeder
Born:
I've been playing guitar since the age of 12, and have played almost every style and genre imaginable since then. Since I've entered college my main focus has been on jazz and classical music, and more recently primarily jazz. I have been working with some great musicians and will hopefully have the chance to record an album of some of my originals soon. I generally play in the Hattiesburg area and recently I've been making my way down to New Orleans for a jam session every now and then.

Jim Halsall
Born:
I live in Clitheroe Lancashire where I was born.I have done most of my guitar playing in the south of England but have now had the good sense to leave the wicked south and return to the beautiful landscape and warm bosom of the Ribble Valley. I have been a professional guitarist for 15 years performing various styles working in bands and as a solo artist playing live music, everything from Pink Floyd and Dire Straits ( a particular favourite of mine) to jazz standards.I also give guitar lessons. Over the last couple of years I have developed this new repertoire which is orientated towards occasions where an easy listening yet stylish and musical accompaniment is required.Such as restaurant background music,wedding ceremony music,dinner party,corporate entertainment, private parties,or any special function. If you refer to my repertoire this will give you a good idea of my style and versatility.Entertainment agents often refer to musicians like myself as a 'wedding jazz singer' but firstly I am a musician and my songs cover a wider range than just jazz standards. I often do play for wedding receptions and I would be pleased to discuss with your wedding planner your requirements. I often work as a solo artist which means I can provide music for you at a modest rate compared to a band.I can also add other musicians like double bass,as a duo, and drums as a trio. Over the years I have been lucky enough to have played as support artiste with some great musicians like Al Stewart, Barbara Thompson, George Melly, Stephan Grappelli,Jake Thackray, Ronnie Scott and many more.

David Minnick
The Sursiks, the masters of musical reverse-engineering, have taken 16 phone messages from the answering machines of family members and friends and set them to music, largely unaltered. The messages are not simply slapped on top of pre-existing music for the sake of novelty, but they ARE the melodic material from which the rest of the music is born. The result is a truly brilliant, hilarious and mind-altering concept album that will change the way that you listen to the human voice out in the real world.
Because the lyrics were all improvised when the messages were recorded, they contain a type of honesty and life that pre-meditated singing often lacks
