Jamie Thorne is a young country artist from Orangeville, Ontario, Canada with a passion and a hunger for the stage. He loves to perform and brings down the house every time.

His voice has that deep country Nashville growl that pulls on the heartstrings and gets the feet moving. Jamie has just completed his debut album “Anywhere To Go”, produced by Jim Hopson of Wellcraft Music in his nationally renowned studio in Brechin, Ontario.

“Working with Jim was great, we took our time and crafted the album very carefully so that it sounded the way we wanted it to, I’m extremely happy with the results” says Jamie.

His first single “Anywhere To Go” written by Gerald Smith/Larry Williams/Bruce Bouton, has just been released nationally to country radio in Canada and Jamie has also just inked a deal with Prism/Fontana/Universal Music for distribution in Canada. Jamie’s new album “Anywhere to Go” ships nationally on September 23rd to retail.

Overcoming his shyness was the biggest issue for Jamie. He always knew that he could sing and thought that probably everyone could. It wasn’t until he was in his teens when he got up to a karaoke mike with some friends after a few tall ones and he blew everyone away. His pals said “Wow, you can really sing.” That moment was the beginning for Jamie’s quest to find his way into country music. Now when he thinks about performing live he reflectively states, “ I still get nervous but it’s the good nervous, the kind when you know you are ready.”

“My biggest U.S. influences are Brooks & Dunn, George Strait and Tim McGraw, says Jamie, because I really do tend to be drawn to more traditional country.”

“I like everything that Jason McCoy has ever done and I would just love to meet Julian Austin and sit and have a beer with him, he was a big influence for me creatively.”

A true entertainer and winner of the 2005 Nashville North Superstar Competition also inspired Jamie to get into the saddle and record this new debut album. A short while ago Jamie also garnered 3rd spot at the KX96 Radio contest “Cradle to Rave”

Jamie is looking forward to being in Nashville to launch his new album “Anywhere To Go” at The Rutledge on Tuesday, October 28th.

There is a bright future in country music for Jamie and he is aiming for the stars…his own star.

Soren Anders to Release New Solo Tracks in December, 2008

New York, NY - November 23, 2008 - Alternative/Indie artist Soren Anders, best known as the frontman of the poly-genre band Shimmerplanet, will be releasing new solo tracks, including "The Thorn In The Side Of A Boy", "I Want Nothing", and "The Last Leaf of Autumn" on iTunes in December, 2008.

Hailing from New York, Soren is a composer, singer, producer, and instrumentalist. Drawing from influences such as Regina Spektor, Björk, Radiohead, and even classical composers like Maurice Ravel, Soren has created a clever sound that ranges from dark reflection on “I Know A Hundred Ways To Die,” which has quickly become a fan favorite because of its haunting setting of Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poem, to quirky radio-friendly singles like “Proof Conjecture,” both of which can be purchased on iTunes along with “Late For You Tango.” His solo album is set to release in the near future on Shark Meat Records, the same label who released Shimmerplanet’s critically-acclaimed album “For the One Who Kills Tomorrow.”

Part Two DecadeZ "Go Girl" - By youngdecadez

Guitars N Bandanaz - Big K Smashes his guitar on stage @ Music Festival!! (Mike Street raps)

After two years in the studio, Anti-M have released their new album, DAMAGE (2008). The female fronted goth rock influenced album has a mix of hard rock tracks (Damage), pop rock cuts (Little Things, Let U In), fluid and melodic ballads (Deep), gothic rock epics (Rage, Damage In The Dream) and a smattering of instrumentals (Dreaming in Metaphor, Incineration, The Sixth Extinction, NO KILL I).

Primarily a studio band in the past, Anti-M hopes to take Damage on the road in the near future.

Anti-M is available at CDBABY.COM, iTunes, Amazon.com

Anti-M is a mix of melodic electronic pop rock and Euro female fronted goth rock. Kind of like Evanescence crossed with Depeche Mode.

If you could imagine a breed of T.I.'s Attitude, Kanye West's Cockyness,Lil Wayne's Swagger,Fabolous's Punchlines,and Ludacris's Delivery then you would easily be able to imagine how his album The Heatrock 2 sounds like. For Artist,Producer,Singer,Songwriter,& Audio Engineer DecadeZ...It's been a long road...

Starting out dancing and singing at the tender age of only 5 Year's old... It seemed as if music was always in this young man's blood... So many tragedies has happened to this individual in his youth that his overall mindset and focus is much more ahead of its time then alot of individuals that are his age. Having a general knowledge of playing the piano and the guitar also doesn't harm him in the several fields which he excels in.... To date he has many accomplishments that wouldn't fit on this small spot. Growing up in a household where it was only him and his single mother taught DecadeZ responsiblity and to always try to perfect whatever it is that he did. Alot of people call him one of the most hard-working musician period. He has a uncanny ability to always focus on a goal and work continuously in order to achieve it. As a boy, he was always very intelligent and complex... but now as a man, he's heightened to a new awareness. Platinum Songwriter Osei Jenkin's(Of Trilogy Productions) describe his sound as "Electro R&B" in the vein of a sound that's ahead of his time.... Purchase CD NOW @ www.cdbaby.com/decadez

If you could imagine a breed of T.I.'s Attitude, Kanye West's Swagger, Ludacris' Delivery,and Lil Waynes Punchlines ..then You can imagine DecadeZ.

Mike Street is the best new Hip Hop artist coming out of New York in 2008. He is a distinctive, handsome gutsy trend-setter, with a thug appeal. Just Listen to his new album "The Man and The Dream" and its easy to see why this 22 yr old powerhouse.

I’ve been wanting to tell you...

For those of you who have not taken the opportunity or had the chance to head out to see Sexy Ester and the Pretty Mama Sisters, you're truly missing out on a band I now absolutely LOVE!!

My Spouse and I spent a weekend night with them at Hixters in Warren and they are truly awesome. Lyndsay Evans is an amazing singer, and a night with her singing songs you can belt along to along with others they've written is quite an experience. the rest of the band, IMO, is icing on the cake.

"Get Your Love On" Reviewed by RadioIndy.com! POSTED BY: momof5pacs POSTED ON: 23 Nov 2008 03:06 PM “Get Your Love On” by Sexy Ester and the Pretty Mama Sisters is a collection full of original, melodic pop/rock music. Lead vocals are strong and powerful, which lends a distinctive element to this group’s sound. Get a rock groove on when you listen to “The Tambourine Song” as it showcases solid power chords on the guitar and rolling drum beats. “The Love Song” exhibits how tight these musicians are with their perfect timing, shown throughout the song. The addition of a grooving bass solo really makes the song rock. Taking a change up to a Latin rhythm, “The Simple Life” and “841” shows diversity within the band and includes the use of Latin percussion instruments. Fans of The Cranberries, Melissa Etheridge, or melodic pop/rock should definitely pick up “Get Your Love On.” -Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
