Rob Hotchkiss
-from San Francisco, CA


-Rob Hotchkiss is best known as the founding member of San Francisco band, Train. Rob won a Grammy Award (Best Rock Song) for “Drops of Jupiter”, and was the musical force behind hits such as “Meet Virginia”, “Free”, “I Am”, and “Get to Me”.  After leaving Train, Rob recorded and produced the solo album Midnight Ghost which received tremendous critical acclaim.  Rob’s classic sound, with meaningful lyrics, beautiful melodies, and lush harmonies, has been likened to The Beatles, Neil Young, and more current artists like Ed Sheeran. Rob has returned to the Bay Area to launch his solo career.



Mickelson
Scott Mickelson
-from San Francisco, CA-

-“Mickelson sings with aching urgency, cloaked in a dark fog that keeps his melodies balancing on the edge of unresolved, underscoring his take that life is never an all-easy road. His work is smart, moving and never overdone.” -MusicNewsNashville." Through a career that spanned five full-length releases with his band Fat Opie, a struggle with a long-term illness and a career as a fine artist, Scott Mickelson has persevered. Now, with his debut solo release Mickelson Flickering, he delivers his most critically acclaimed work. Mickelson is singing the stories of those living their lives in contemporary America, as fragmented as it is. Flickering is on the 2015 Grammy Ballot in two categories, “Best Folk Album” and “Best Roots Music Performance”.  Appearances include NPR Radio, Jimmy Lloyd Show (NBC), Huffington Post, CBS Morning Show, Glide Magazine, PopMatters, TheBayBridged, MusicNewsNashville and a Folk Alliance Showcase. Other accolades include winning a national band search sponsored by MTV/7-Up with a prize of $15,000 and a song in the feature film Along The Way. When not touring, Mickelson produces artists from his Bay Area studio.


The Wearies
Erik Vocals & Guitar Mark Drums Robbie Lead Guitar GD Bass
-from the Bay Area, CA

-"I have to tell you about this great new band from San Francisco, The Wearies. They remind me of a modern day improved version of the Yardbirds fronted by Elvis Costello. You have the feel good energy flowing and you just can’t sit back and listen; you have to MOVE! You can definitely call them a fun rock band with just the right amount of pop blended in for good measure."
-Marisol Richardson- Music Junkie Press

"Helmed by Erik Mullin, The Wearies are true DIY artists, persevering, recording, and playing their fuzzy, upbeat guitar rock without the help of a label.
Mullin’s band has survived breakups and crew changes since its formation, but the sly,’60s-rock-by-way-of-’90s-pop always comes out on top."
