Daniel Lawrence Walker

More than just a man and his guitar, Walker writes songs of love and life - with compelling themes and stories wrapped around sophisticated progressions. Weaving intelligent lyrics through seamless rhythms comes naturally for this singer/songwriter who pens songs with depth, emotion, and honest feelings with which many different audiences can connect.

It doesn’t stop there for the Texas native. With every step along his path, he has picked up a new flavor for his music. While attending college in New Orleans, he picked up the funk and zest for life that inevitably seeps into the souls of those who live there. He pulls a slice of Americana from his childhood and playing his first live shows in Fort Worth, Texas. With a move to Denver in 2004, one can hear a new expansive sound work in its way into Walker’s songwriting.

The Autumn Film

The Autumn Film formed in August 2006. Although a young band, they are a group of seasoned musicians. Their release Safe & Sound (January 2007), produced by Robbie Seay (EMI) “is an emotive and mature work by an artist exploring the challenges, heartaches, and successes of life. Full of reflections on vulnerability, loss, recovery, and survival, one gets the sense that the composer has experienced real human growth and is now ready to emerge. Leading her very capable band on keyboards, Tifah Al-Attas is accompanied by guitarist Reid Phillips, drummer Dann Stockton, bassist Juli Royster, and violinist Aubrea Alford” (J. Jacoby, ColoradoMusicBuzz).

Drew Brightbill is a songwriter living in Boulder, Colorado who describes his music as eclectic, acoustic, indie-folk. It draws on a broad range of styles and influences, while being grounded in the tradition of story-telling folk style bards, yet embracing an iconoclastic and unique musical approach shared by many independent artists. Using common themes such as life and death, dreams, lost love, coming of age, and faith, he attempts to recall tales of his own life while making subtle social commentaries. Drew looks to literature and poetry as a guide in his lyrical approach, placing the importance on the content of the words and their sonic quality, as opposed to filling rhythmic space with lines that rhyme.

Following his appearance on Kaberet, Drew will begin performing shows in Denver and Boulder with his back-up band of upright bass and drum-kit, and is in the process of recording his second CD or digital collection of 10 songs.

American Relay

Born out of a love for American roots music, punk rock ethos, a serendipidous rencontre, and a mutual disdain for the state of popular music, two young men from the mountains of Colorado set out to revive the soul of American rock and roll. Through the channels of blues, distortion and sweat, these two gents have found something that trancends the genres of today to produce soulful, honest music that not only reminds us of the best and underappreciated of years past, but can also get that ass a shakin'!
