Brynn Andre

Brynn Andre is a singer songwriter from Williston, ND and now based in Minneapolis, MN. She has released 2 great records : "Snowboots" & "Brynn Andre". 

“Andre’s voice is solid, with stylings akin to Missy Higgins and Vanessa Carlton, but her greatest strength is in the songwriting. Andre knows who she’s singing to and nails the target head-on, and while her confessional pop sound is far from feel-good and sugary, her lyrics line up nicely with a well-executed percussive piano melody. Andre’s songs are all heart-on-my-sleeve, and her voice is tuned perfectly for dynamic keying.— Natalie Gallagher” Natalie Gallagher - Gimme Noise, City Pages

JP Cooper

JP Cooper is a singer-songwriter from Manchester, UK. I've discovered him tonight thanks to Charlotte Gomes, once again (check her out to listen to great artists).

"His soulfully expressive unique vocal style, the kind that cuts through a room to hush a chattering crowd in seconds, is utterly bewitching. His unexpected vocal flights hardly prepare you for the intimacy and empathy to follow, couple this with a clutch of sensational songs and you would find it almost impossible to believe that he has only been writing seriously for 2 years and performing solo for barely 1."

JP Cooper 's debut EP is now available on his website : http://www.jpcooper.co.uk/
