TWO EMPTY CHAIRS

Two Empty Chairs entered the studio to record their forthcoming national debut album 'Brighter Day'. Utilizing the masterful production skills of Barry Blair (formerly of Audio Adrenaline) alongside the mixing talents of Skid Mills (Third Day, Jennifer Knapp, Sister Hazel), Two Empty Chairs manages to deliver a very memorable rock album with hook-driven pop sensibilities and intelligent lyrics. Drawing from influences like David Crowder, U2, Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, and Sister Hazel; Two Empty Chairs crafts a dynamic musicality that is uniquely their own.

RIVER

River has a wonderful three-part harmony blend reminiscent of Phillips, Craig & Dean with a little more oomph.

River was a successful independent group back when “indy” wasn’t cool.  After nearly two decades together as a group, Kurt Linn, Paul Marino and Phil Reesnes have performed over 1300 concerts, garnered no less than seven top 5 Inspirational Radio singles and three top 10 hits, performed a movie theme song, and released ten full-length projects.  All without a record label.

“River was one of the first ‘independent’ artists to be accepted on the national radio charts.  They had success back in the day when it was almost impossible for unsigned artists to have top 10, let alone, top 5 songs. 

Now, more than three years after their last recording, River will release CAUGHT UP IN YOU: Songs of Worship.  Featuring ten songs written by Paul (who serves as a writer for Lifeway Worship Music Group), Greg Nelson and Jeremy Johnson, CAUGHT UP IN YOU: Songs of Worship continues to showcase the tight vocal harmonies of the trio, lending their signature sound to dynamic new worship tunes that are already finding their way into church music programs.

STORYSIDE B

The new StorySide B CD, “We Are Not Alone,”  is more than simply an album title. It is a confession that pulses with a white-hot intensity through every song of St. Augustine, Florida-based rock band StorySide:B’s latest project; and courses through the lifeblood of each of its members.

Lead vocalist/guitarist Lu Rubino and drummer Jordan Mohilowski banded together in 2003 to win the band division of the Exalting Him talent competition. It didn’t take long for their unique sound and intense work ethic to entice Detroit native Ron McClelland to join the band on bass and keys. The irrepressible Texan, Preston Pohl soon added his stellar guitar chops to the mix. Since then StorySide:B has patiently honed their diverse backgrounds and musical proclivities into a unique and unified sound which has inspired a mad following of fans who have - in turn - propelled the band into the forefront of the Christian music scene.
