"Oh, Wyatt. Wyatt is cool. Wyatt is like this guy who has magical powers, but is totally comfortable with it. And also he is a good dresser, and dances amazingly well."

So says a newly indoctrinated fan. WYATT is (also) the new project of celebrated NYC singer/songwriter Maddy Wyatt. What began as the solo effort of Miss Wyatt has morphed into a collaborative adventure with brothers Paul and Alex Wyatt, bassist Zach Lane, and keyboardist Dana Haynes. Since the release of their debut EP last summer, WYATT has toured all over the Southwest, played festivals from SXSW to CMJ, and earned kudos from the likes of NYC's The Deli Magazine, The L.A. Examiner, and TimeOutNewYork, who says "their lack of pretension and simple melodies are reminiscent of Mirah." WYATT aims to make you move your bod and sing along. The songs on this EP are the closest yet they've come. Vive la WYATT!


With a name as big as her sound, Audra Isadora makes soulful glam pop all her own and is ready to unleash her booming voice and vivacious vibrato that echo Kate Bush's eccentricity and Annie Lennox's sensational solo efforts. Armed with a full instrumental band on her self-titled EP, the NYC-based sultry powerhouse is sure to make a splash with five wildly colorful tracks that showcase her apt ability to create a delectable journey of tunes for your earbuds to feast themselves on.

Audra was always attracted to the unique and unconventional, realizing at age 10 that her true instrument, aside from her voice, was the oboe. Topping her strikingly quirky personality off with a BFA in musical theatre, and you've got the explosive recipe of Audra Isadora in full David Bowie performance mode: "To be able to create a character, and make theatrical musical choices based on that…and to be able to wear a costume (and if i'm lucky, some crazy wig)…I continue to do that in my own music now." For Audra, her spectacular singing performance is dramatically influenced by musical theatre and as a natural born musical artist, she has a knack for creating outlandish characters and performing on stage a la Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Audra's instrumental act features a varied cast of talent on her EP, with Matt Katz on keys, Jason Rabinowitz on guitar, Kenneth Salters on drums, Brendan O'Grady on bass, Dos Allen on sax, Bruce Harris on trumpet, Adriel Williams on violin, and last but not least — the oboe played by Audra Isadora, herself.

Audra Isadora's EP takes you on a musical journey, with heavy influences ranging from jazz, blues, 90's anti-folk, to neo soul and even drawing cues from the likes of David Bowie to Tori Amos. "Creature of Desire" is a rainbow of sound, starting off on a slow dizzying tripped out beat and building up to a crescendoing, echoing chorus that builds throughout the song and highlights Audra's wide vocal range. The EP also contains a bonus remix by Bright Light Bright Light which is a seductive synth rendition of the shimmery electronica track.

While "Creature of Desire" was an evocative burst of light-hearted lyrics and catchy pop grooves, "Sparrow Song" slows down the tempo, being one of the more intimate tracks on the EP. Audra reveals, "It is about the hospital experience — as a patient, and as the loved one of a patient. I am a cancer survivor, and my mother passed away from cancer." As much as the EP is a musical journey for the listener, Audra Isadora's music also serves as an emotional one as well.

Audra picks you right back up again after "Sparrow Song" with her playful rendition of Kate Bush's classic, "Babooshka," and pays homage to one of her heroes by dressing up the number with vibrant trumpets and livening it up with her trademark vocals. The EP ends appropriately with the song "Green," based on a cross-country road trip from DC to LA and represents both Audra's soothing croons and powerful wails.

"The song is about the journey — both literally, and emotionally, as I dealt with loss and appreciating the vast and incredible power and beauty of nature." As Audra Isadora embarks on this incredible new solo journey with her music there's no telling what this songstress is capable of.


For the past 4 years Cunio has toured the world as 1/4 of PBS "sensation" Under The Streetlamp, with whom he released 3 albums, starred in 2 televised PBS concert specials and headlined venues including The Greek Theater, Wolftrap and The Chataquah Music Institute. Deemed the "electrifying wailer" he drew attention for his "gloriously gritty" take on Etta James' "At Last" and his "startlingly soulful" turn on James Brown's "Its a Man's world".

Prior to Streetlamp, Cunio starred on Broadway and in National tours of Hairspray (Corny Collins) and Jersey Boys (Tommy DeVito) while also regularly playing NY institutions such as Don Hill's, the Knitting Factory and the Bitter End as lead singer of Reckless Place.

Johnny Lewis melds the north-country sound of acoustic guitars with progressive Americana, unique lyrics and electronic ambiance, replanting the poetic verse into a timeless songwriting style for a new generation of listeners. He releases his self-titled debut album on Sept 23, 2014.

Johnny Lewis' musical background is not that of the ordinary Folk Artist. Stemming from Minneapolis, MN, Johnny moved to Colorado in 2008 to pursue electronic production for a number of touring acts including The Larva Ink, Lizzo, Bokonon and many more. Accepted into the festival community, Lewis opened extensively for national acts such as The Flaming Lips and EOTO, but after tirelessly working in the electronic world, Lewis came to terms with his obsession for acoustic music. This in turn, drove him away from production and into his passion - writing songs.

Johnny grew up listening to music from a world he didn't belong to. His uncles would listen to the crackling records of Charley Patton, Chet Baker, Johnny Hartman and Bob Dylan, which drew Johnny to the acoustic guitar at the age of twelve and played songs by legends all the way through high school.

After his stints in Colorado and Minneapolis, Johnny began slowly moving away from the electronically oriented acts he had formed and the scene he had engrained himself in and moved to New York City to start his music career over. He wrote dozens of songs in a short amount of time and decided it was time to release his first solo record.

Johnny Lewis' self titled debut is a is a gorgeous fusion of dream-folk, Americana and meticulously layered production, combining all spectrums of Lewis' passions. Lewis now resides in New York City.
