Bryon
Russell hails from Alabama, but when not
playing clubs all over the southeast, is a frequent visitor to Nashville. Bryon has a rootsy, Americana style that mixes country, folk and a little rock. His natural, down-home vocal style is a perfect match for his top-notch original songs. |

James
Bizzieri is a powerfully emotional singer,
and
his songs provide just the right vehicle for his moving and very expressive voice. James's material is country- flavored, but this Chicago-based artist's sound will appeal to a wide range of listeners. |
|
Adrianna
Larkin is an
eclectic artist whose songs show
a multitude of influences: folk, Celtic, a touch of blues, a bit of jazz, even a hint of bluegrass. Her lilting voice and distinctive material are a very welcome addition to the "Signs Of The Times" CD. |

Singer/songwriter
Glenn
Frenchlives in Connecticut.
He serves up thoughtful, melodic songs, and delivers them in an understated yet very affective way. Glenn describes his style as folk-based, but you'll also hear pop and soft-rock elements in his excellent material. |

Ford
Turrell is a
talented young singer/songwriter from Grand Rapids, Michigan. With
his excellent voice and a knack for
writing roots-based fine songs that are both haunting and down-to-earth,
Ford
is an artist to watch.
(And to hear, of course !) Influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Steve Earle, Turrell has crafted an original sound, and is a strong addition to our series. |

Zachary
Oberzan is a
native of Maine, but he currently
lives in New York City. An actor as well as a fine singer/ songwriter, Zachary lists Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake among his favorite artists. His style is hard to categorize; one enthusiastic reviewer coined the term "Zachedelic" to describe Oberzan's unique brand of folk-rock, with its dramatic flair and occasionally abstract lyrics. |

Born
on a farm in western Massachusetts, Peter
Adzima
has recently moved to Nashville. His songs are marked by strong, poetic lyrics and smooth, soothing melodies. Adzima's influences include James Taylor, Paul Simon, and Gordon Lightfoot... but like the other artists in our new series, Peter has developed his own personal style. |
|
From
out of Ontario in Canada comes Garry Jackson,
who says, "my music is -- if nothing else -- honest, and written with a
certain amount of intelligence and imagination...
it's neither country nor folk... but it is what I do". Garry has a pure, soaring voice, and like the other artists in the new Singer/Songwriter Series, has something to say and a thoroughly original way of saying it. |
