Grayson Capps

Singer Grayson Capps is still learning how to survive in the Dirty South. It is the main theme of his fourth album, Rott 'N' Roll.

Grayson Capps: Rott 'N' Roll

Grayson and his band The Stumpknockers, featuring Tommy MacLuckie on lead guitar, Josh Kerin on bass and John Milham on drums, set up shop at his farmhouse, rehearsing during the afternoons and spending evenings around a bonfire in the backyard. Expect stories from the road, delivered in his signature voice.

Rott 'N' Roll will be released on Hyena Records. Release date: September 9th.

Catherine MacLellan has been slowly building her reputation as a folk singer. Her self-released 2007 album Church Bell Blues gets a well deserved second change through a re-release by a "real" record label. She an introspective soft spoken singer, but she has s a sharp look out on live. She has been compared with Joni Mitchell, but she is more down to earth. Her lyrics aim for your heart and your guts. Comes with cool mandolin picking by James Philips.
