LIzh

Singer/songwriter Lizh and her band have a unique approach to music: "If it feels good and sounds good, who cares what you call it?" With Lizh's power house vocals, distinctive songwriting and the band's uncanny ability to capture a "melting pot" sound, they make genre-hopping feel completely natural. With the heart of Soul and a singer/songwriter taste for story telling, Lizh and band blur the lines between the genres with occasional stanzas of Spoken Word, a Reggaeton rhythm here and there.

Garland Mason Band

Over the past 5 years, Garland Mason has been writing songs about the world around him. As an astute observer, his songs touch on social issues, love, loss, joy, and pain. After spending his youth searching for his voice, he finally found it in the American music forms of Blues, Soul, Motown and R&B. Growing up in a small town called Fuquay-Varina, NC, set a fire in his heart to travel and learn from life through experience; which is where the inspiration to write blooms. His sound is as if Marvin Gaye sat down and wrote a few tunes with Muddy Waters and Stevie Wonder.

Garland recorded his first set of songs in late December of 2009 in a Raleigh studio with his original 3-piece band. In January of 2010, Garland Mason took his songs to Nashville in a showcase for music executives at the historic 3rd and Linsley. After receiving deafening amounts of positive feedback, he decided to form a new, concrete band to give the backbone to his songwriting. Once this group began piecing itself together, the Raleigh music scene quickly began falling for the fresh sound of this new group. Soon there after, Garland headed to the 96 Rock studio to record his songs for the masses on the radio waves. With an interview and 3 songs recorded acoustically in studio, the greater Raleigh/Durham area got it's first true taste of the passion Garland emblazons in his heart for music.

Dave has grown as a musician drawing influence from a wide variety of genres. Sleep Control have built themselves quite a fan base from playing all around the region and look forward to expanding and growing as much as possible.

Labeling Deloris is a hybrid of rock and pop that is rarely heard in conventional pop music today. With smart songwriting and a fierce live show overflowing with electricity, this Nashville act is poised to take over the Southeast music scene. “What is impressive about this band is not only their music or their accomplishments, but their approach toward the hidden things that make a band successful…they have dedicated their lives in the pursuit of their dreams.” (Jeff Reid, The Beat Magazine)
