Donny Brewer
Just a Texas boy living on the road. He’s not Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, or even Kenny Chesney, nor does he want to be. Those famous guys make wonderful music, but the difference is, they probably won’t have a drink with you or throw you into to their lyrics at your friend’s backyard show. And they certainly won’t invite you on their bus to sing on an album or share a catamaran with you and maybe write some songs. But Donny will. Why? Because while he may win awards and tour the world, he’s just a super fan like you. Check out his site >

Erica Sunshine Lee
Nashville prolific singer songwriter Erica Sunshine Lee just released her 10th original album “Same Ship Different Day,” featuring her recent TRMA Music Video of the year and Radio Trop Rock song of the year “Single for the Summer.”
Known in the industry as the “Hardest working woman in country music” this gritty, edgy, raw and unfiltered, genuine southern songstress will leave you singing her catchy and infectious medlodies and hooks, hanging onto every thoughtful lyric from stories about love, revenge, remedies and redemption.

John Frinzi
John Frinzi blends folk, pop and country, delivering a sunny, laid-back beach vibe. A gifted singer and songwriter, Frinzi has built an audience through craft and originality. An early demo caught the ear of legendary pedal steel guitarist Doyle Grisham, a longtime member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, and their working relationship led to John’s first album, “Into The Dawn.” His second release, “Shoreline,” showcases Frinzi’s versatility as a songwriter and vocalist with many of the songs co-written by Tom Corcoran, co-writer of the Buffett classics,“Fins,” and “Cuban Crime of Passion”.

Dave McKenney
Welcome back to New England Dave!
A singer/songwriter originally from the New England area, now based out of Virginia, Dave has always had a love of music. After spending time in his early years exploring different instruments it wasn’t until his mid thirties that he finally decided to learn to play guitar. He quickly mastered some of the basic chords and learned several of his favorite Jimmy Buffett songs, and from there he was off and running. He would spend every spare minute he had practicing and learning new skills, and admits that performing live and writing his own music was what he wanted to do. Check out Dave’s site >
