The Andy Poxon Band
Andy Poxon is a very talented young man with a remarkable level of professional poise for one so young. Only 16 when he recorded these tracks, he not only wrote all of the songs but produced the session as well, big job for anyone at any age. Andy's mixture of American Roots music incorporates heavy doses of the blues as well as rockabilly, soul and jazz guitar flourishes.

Live Tonite
Julius Pittman & The Revival
The new CD features this smokin' 8-piece band in a setting that suits them best, 'Live'. Live recordings of such high quality are no easy task. The band has to really lay it down. They can't go back back and 'fix it' like in a studio. With fan favorites and killer original tunes, this album is a horn driven, southern soul party!
"One great high energy soul and blues track after another pushed me back in my seat."
- The Ripple Effect, Sep 2011
"Pittman has a voice made for singing R&B and soul.
It has a deep rooted quality that reaches out and grabs you.."
