The Mumbles
The Mumbles are a Brooklyn, NY based Avant Soul Duo - a tiny band with a mighty sound. Using two keyboards and a drum kit, they combine soul music with avant and old time jazz to create "pop songs in the key of partying down" (Time Out New York). Keysman Keith Burnstein and drummer Ethan Shorter met in the rhythm section of a 14 piece hip hop orchestra, soon striking out on their own in late 2006 to write tunes that would become Mumbles mainstays. As a duo, the boys distilled songs to their essence, delighting in a dynamic that "...marries the bedroom intimacy of a singer-songwriter, with the expansive musical prowess of a psych jazz outfit" (Seven Days Vermont). After the completion of their first record, "Once Eponymous", in 2008, The Mumbles have been touring the country on the heels of a national AAA radio campaign, with fine stations nation wide playing the disc in heavy rotation.
Channing & Quinn
This is the story of Channing and Quinn. It will be short because it's just begun, and they are anxiously waiting to see what happens next. It begins in the small town of Boone, perched precariously amidst the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Channing, scribbling lyrics and humming odd little melodies to herself, and Quinn, hungrily learning to speak through any instrument he could find. Inevitably, the two collided and as their music met, it sprang to life like it had just been waiting for it's missing counterpart. Channing and Quinn tested the waters in small venues first in Boone, and then Charlotte, searching for a home for their quirky soulful sound. Their search lead them to Nashville, TN and its deep musical roots ground them as they continue to travel and share the music that they've drawn simply from themselves and the colorful world around them. .
