Lynn Knight - 

Mathieu Raney - became a full-time musician and singer/songwriter at the age of 18! Getting my start in Silverton, Oregon, I first started learning guitar and writing songs at 14 years old. Over the next few years of high school, I started performing at breweries and festivals from time to time, but didn't seriously consider a career in music for a couple more years. Around the age of 17 is when I became obsessed with music and specifically the process of songwriting. The way a simple combination of words and music can deeply affect people was so intriguing and exciting to me. I began recording, continued writing, and kept improving my vocal and guitar skills until realizing there's nothing else I want to dedicate my time to. I'm very grateful for the opportunities and skills that have come my way to make this dream job possible. 

Charlene and her Champagne Bruts - ". Charlene’s voice has been described as a beckoning invitation.  Rich and sultry, this is a voice that is not naïve in ways of love, but certainly not jaded.  There is an earnestness and a welcoming quality to Charlene’s approach, bringing a longing for sweetness of companionship.  Marty’s approach to the upright bass allows for a focus on the heart and core of each song, with rich warm tones that complement the vocals.."

John Crain - "...entered the Portland Blues scene playing lead guitar with local Blues vocalist J.C. Rico in a band which included some of Portland’s finest blues players, Claire Luce on Keys, Dave Kohl on bass, Paul Jones on drums, he also gigged with the late great Paulette Davis, before hooking up with the Kita Montgomery Band for a 4 year Stint. Next he formed Mumbo Gumbo with the fabulous soul singer Ural Thomas where the focus was 2nd line, Zydeco and New Orleans Blues. John also hired on to do a cross country tour with Etoufee who had lost their lead guitarist, John Foal to Dr. John. Other bands of note, Jaywalkers, Arousing Spirit, Public Eye, Pound for Pound."

Katalysst - a progressive folk rock group that smoothly fuses both simplicity and complexity through thoughtful chord progressions and dynamic bass lines. Combining cheeky lyrics with classical vocal finesse, their music interweaves memorable melodies with compelling motifs. Fueled and inspired by the tumultuous times, Katalysst provides listeners with an unflinching and at times lighthearted interpretation of modern life.
