“I Can’t Go Back There” - I think its just a great
album, its quite reflective, one of my picks of the evening - Marie
Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
About: Tammy Jones Robinette
Genre: Bluegrass / Gospel Location: USA: Ohio (OH)
Influences: Connie Smith,
Loretta Lynn, Ricky Skaggs, The Whites
Tammy started singing when
she was only eight years old. Her Mom and Dad were regulars at area revivals
and church services across Ohio and Kentucky. Tammy and her three siblings would sing
together as The Jones Family for twelve years.
It was during these
recordings that Tammy penned several songs for The Jones Family that caught the
attention of several nationally known groups in the industry.
When the group disbanded in
the late nineties, Tammy and her husband Jim (aka Rob) still felt the call of
the Lord on her life to share her singing ministry.
With a self penned song
entitled "Who I Am" Tammy launched her solo
ministry to radio. It has now been twenty years since that decision and
Tammy and Jim continue to travel across the country sharing the good news in
song.
Tammy recorded four albums
as a soloist with Zion Music Group and producer
Kevin McManus.
Jim and Tammy love southern
gospel and bluegrass music and host a radio program called "The Southern
Celebration" on WLRD 96.9.
They enlisted an A-list team
of pickers and singers in support of Let It Shine. Playing bass and producing
is Mark Fain, with Ron Block on guitar and banjo, Aubrey Haynie on fiddle, Andy
Leftwich on mandolin, and Rob Ickes on reso-guitar. Assisting with harmony
vocals are Jamie Dailey, Jeff Parker, Dale Ann Bradley, Steve Gulley, Cheryl
White, Sharon Skaggs, and Jeff Pedersen.
Exciting to see what is in
store for 2014, Tammy put together live dates with these great pickers Mark Fain,
Troy Engle, Sierra Hull, Cody Kilby, and Justin Moses.

About: Peter Mulvey:
Over the past 20 years,
Mulvey has pursued a restless, eclectic path as a writer and musician –
immersing himself in Tin PanAlley jazz, modern acoustic, poetry, narrative, and
Americana stylings. Relentlessly touring as a headliner – his attitude is,
“When you love what you do, you can work all the time,” – he has also shared
the stage with luminaries such as Emmylou Harris, Richard Thompson, Ani
diFranco, Indigo Girls, and Greg Brown, and has attracted an audience that
stretches from Anchorage to Amsterdam.
For the past several years
Peter has done an annual Fall tour entirely by bicycle, partly for
environmental reasons and partly for the sheer fun of continuing his creative,
unorthodox approach to a long and fruitful career as an artist.
In every aspect of his
career, Mulvey draws on an extremely broad swath of influence; he is always
reading, listening, and eager to hear new poetry, modern minimalist composers,
old-time fiddle tunes, Argentinean trip-hop, or top-shelf bar bands.
“Peter Mulvey is consistently the most
original and dynamic of the US singer-songwriters to tour these shores. A
phenomenal performer with huge energy, a quick fire, quirky take on life, and
an extraordinary guitar style. A joy to see.” - The Irish Times
Immersed in language, art,
and music, Mulvey's playing ranges from tender acoustic picking to rootsy blues
& jazz.
"His voice feels like
fine old leather, and his guitar sounds like it's on steroids... a superb
technician..." - Boston Globe
In 2014 he launched a
successful crowd funded Kickstarter campaign for his new record,
SILVER LADDER (982
Backers pledged $62,247 of a
$23,000 goal). It was released April 1, 2014 on Signature Sounds. It was
produced by Chuck Prophet and made in Los Angeles.
Peter recently completed a UK tour finishing up at The Old Queen’s
Head in London supporting Kimmie Rhodes.

Emma Stevens
“Once”
I like it, very catchy, nice
singer-songwriter, nice easy listening music - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
About: Emma Stevens
Haunting folk/pop with a
twist and lots of sparkle. I play guitar, piano, ukulele, cello, banjo and
mandolin
Genre: Singer-Songwriter/folk/country/pop
Emma began her musical
journey when she was bought her first guitar at the age of 3, after being
enchanted by her Mum’s playing. She began taking lessons in cello and piano,
became a member of the Surrey Youth Orchestra and involved herself with
numerous music clubs in and out of school.
Emma enrolled at the Academy
of Contemporary music, where she studied Guitar and Performance – this not only
improved Emma’s confidence as a performer, but taught her valuable lessons as a
songwriter.
When she was discovered by
music manager, Bob James – Emma’s song writing career took off. She found
herself working with established artists and songwriters all over the world,
frequently making trips to LA, Nashville and Europe. Korean boy band “SHINee”
released one of Emma’s songs on their album and it sold
100,000 copies in its first week of release, hitting the number 1 spot.
With a passion for
performing, and longing to release her own music, Emma decided to concentrate
on her career as a singer-songwriter. Her music is catchy and filmic, and has
been used on TV, clients including BBC and ITV. She has also worked with
artists such as Kate Nash, Passenger and Jenn Bostic, who she supported on her
recent UK tour. When Emma lost her Mum to cancer in
2012, she dealt with it in the only way she knew – through her music and
song-writing. Emma planned a series of 4 EPs, each one with a unique and beautiful artwork designed by her Mum. Emma’s Mum
made the designs as a gift to Emma, and completed them just two weeks before
she died. When all 4 are collected they will fit together like a puzzle to make
a larger beautiful painting.
On March 31, 2013 she
released a 4 Track EP titled “Dreaming Trees”
available on iTunes
Her 14 track album “Enchanted”
(Rising Tide Music/Emma Stevens Music) was released on 13 October 2013
