After more than 200 concerts as a solo artist in Copenhagen, Berlin, London, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Bruxelles, Bremen, Malmö, Providence and Austin the debutalbum has now been brought to life, in collaboration with producer Noah Rosanes.

The Album was released on iTunes in US, Canada, Australia and Mexico on the 3rd of October 2011 and will be gradually released in 35 countries over the next 6 months. Now an EP with interpretations of the Punk/Rock band "The Freudian Slip" is in the making. Release date is set to January 16th 2012

The two releases has been promoted with both a European and a US tour. In December Echo Me will tour, Germany, Netherlands, France and Spain.

Jesper Madsen is the Danish songwriter behind Echo Me. He's been writing songs since the age of 10, starting of "borrowing" lyrics from artists found in his parents' collection.

The name Echo Me stands for that similarity, there is between Jesper and his music. The songs are echoes of his personality and his thoughts. His sound is an echo of his own taste and his own ideals.

The genre is Nu-Folk and Echo Me has often been compared to artists such as Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley.

The Shake are four, young NYC-based musicians who play Rock n Roll. While the majority of the New York scene has proven intent upon integrating gadgets, triggers and pedals to curate something original, the shake rely on the simple strength of their joint creativity and their shared faith that songwriting is - and always will be - a band's most essential instrument.

They have been called "the American Arctic Monkeys, with a little bit of Muse thrown in for good measure;" (Hollie Jones, Secret Sound Shop) were named one of the 28 Best Bands of CMJ 2010 by BlackBook Magazine and; were the headlining band of the publication's CMJ Showcase this year. The Shake are proof that forward-thinking Rock n Roll is alive and well, even in the nucleus of the revivalist-centric scene that is New York City in 2011.

Family is everything... It can define who you are. It can reveal and support strengths and passions. It can create intuitive bonds through shared experiences. It can drive you crazy, but it always brings you home. And it's at the absolute core of THE DOYLE BROTHERS.

Having been lovingly described as "young guys doing old songs in a new way", the duo of Todd Doyle (Box, Vox) and Ryan Jacob Doyle (Vox, Axe) stem from a rich musical heritage (older brothers David and Brad Doyle are also musicians, while their parents, music teacher Tom and artist Cindy Doyle, married shortly after performing together in a 70's folk group) that was inescapeable. During their formative years, the boys' household was constantly filled with audio influences, whether coming from indivdual's record or tape collections, pop radio stations, live rehearsals, or just fooling around singing. The vocalizing may have come naturally, but it wasn't until the lads were in their mid to late teens that their efforts to play in a group came to fruition with the band More Than Me.

Their 10-plus year tenure in that outfit has recently brought them the opportunity to share the main stage of the Hard Rock Calling Festival with Sir Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Crosby Stills & Nash, Crowded House, Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam, Ben Harper & Relentless 7, Jamiroquai, The Hives, James Morrison, Corinne Bailey Rae, The Gaslight Anthem, Joshua Radin, Mary Mary, Robert Francis, They've also opened for Brett Michaels, The Black Eyed Peas, De La Soul, The Gin Blossoms and Boys Like Girls.

As the duo, along with playing steady gigs around NYC and their hometown of Buffalo, NY, Todd and Ryan have been proud to have hosted several charity events, including "Songs and Sundaes" with Anderson's Frozen Custard and Children's Hospital, a summer concert series where all proceeds from Doyle Brothers' CD's and "Have A Heart" sundaes sold at all local locations went directly to the hospital.

As evident on their recent cover EP "Two Bros, One Box", the guys' sound is appealing to all age groups due to the timeless nature of their song selections. Their live shows have seen the youngest toddlers dancing around with the most seasoned elders grooving along to tunes that are as familiar as they are timely. Along with the uncommon and tight arrangements, the experience is enhanced by the good natured report that the siblings share both on and off stage. It's a connection that has been developed and nutured their entire lives.

It's the kind of thing that can only come from being family.

Modern Vintage Recordings artists and NPR darlings, Sisters 3, have released their sophomore album, Coruscate at the Meadow Gate. An eclectic mix of folk, three part harmonies, and avant garde songwriting, the album has been received extremely well earning them spots performing with CBS Recording Artist Sharon Little at Madison Square Garden and The Mann Center and appearing on Good Day New York and several times live on XPN radio. They've been featured on the NBC show "Tens" twice and have been featured in the pages of Singer Songwriter Magazine, Relix and CMJ. They have performed at NXNE, CMJ, Philadelphia Folk Fest, International Folk Alliance, and Mountain Stage.

Sisters Cassandra, Anna Christie and Beatrice Sadler have performed together in various incarnations since childhood and officially formed Sisters 3 in August 2005. Three years later, the trio released their acclaimed debut album Star Spangled. Having been brought up in an colorful household of eight sisters, all home schooled, the girls nurtured their creative side and matured in a whimsical and magical fantasy land of their creation. The flavor of the album reflects exactly that- three women connected to each other in a very childlike fashion- laughing during a harmonic version of Miss Mary Mack, a hidden gem on the album.

"It's been a very interesting and cool evolution for the three of us, going from childhood to writing songs together and learning how to respect each other's talents and gifts in music," said Anna Christie. "I think we're continuing to discover how to highlight each of us and our strengths in the group."

Coruscate at the Meadow Gate highlights the Sadler sisters' eclectic style, ranging from American folk to electronic to alternative rock. With influences ranging from (French composer and pianist) Erik Satie and Chopin to The Ramones and Jeff Buckley to Patsy Cline, The Shirelles, The Ravens and Leadbelly, their music has a 50s doo-wop, vocal based majestic folk pop sound.

Members of Sisters 3 have opened up for Robert Plant, Alison Krauss and T-Bone Burnett at venues including The Red Rocks Amphitheater, The Greek Theater in LA, The Hollywood Bowl, The Mann Center (Philadelphia) and Madison Square Garden. They have worked with acclaimed producers Mark Howard (Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris), Don Was (The Rolling Stones, Ringo Starr) and Glenn Marshall (Feist, Broken Social Scene, Peter Yarrow).

The sisters are available for interviews and live performance opportunities.
