Michael Carlos

Not your usual singer-songwriter act, Michael Carlos writes music that ranges from full-throttle rock, to Latin-influenced music, to acoustic ballads with strings.

The Michael Carlos Band is energetic enough to be at home on large outdoor festival stages, but balances thought-provoking folk-rock with acoustic material fitting a coffeehouse. In between, you’ll find music that defies any attempt to limit it to one genre.

Expect something different! See Michael Carlos on line.

Not All There

Not All There (NAT) was formed in 1998 by two friend’s right after high school. The line-up eventually was Matthew singing (kind of) Joey on drums, and Jason playing bass.  By early 1999 NAT had finished recording its first CD title "Not Fit For Parents."  The band continued to record and in 2000 it unleashed "The Communist Party" on the world.  In 2001, with Pete from The Losers on guitar, NAT released "Toilet Humor."  In 2008, NAT started playing again, this time adding Dumpster Dave on guitar.  The band scored Dan for a bass player and released "You Suck" in 2009.  NAT's latest release in January of 2010 is "These Are Not The Songs You're Looking For."

Poor Folks, Live Well

    Formed in the town of Wenatchee, Washingotn, in 2008, the 3-piece rock band Poor Folks, Live Well has quickly begun to make waves in the PAcific Northwest.  Poor Folks, Live Well is Brian Bailey (guitar, vocals), Shawn Sanders (bass), and Carsin Boyle (drums).  All three members grew up in Cashmere, Washngton playing in bands of different diverse styles, from bluegrass to jazz to punk.  Poor Folks, Live Well came together drawing from that diversity to create a unique style of raw pop/rock.

Poor Folks, Live Well values  a variety of genres, with melodies and lyrics that stick. Each song is written with the unique potential of the individual song in mind, rather than squeezing and forcing the song to “fit” a particular style or set of songs. Through that attitude, there are soaring melodies that create tension and stay interesting yet familiar. These dynamics are well displayed throughout the debut LP entitled “Our Sore Nerves” released August 2010.

Since forming, Poor Fols, Live Well  has performed at The Vogue (Chelan), Caffe Mela (Wenatchee), Der Hinterhof (Leavenworth), Tildio Winery (Manson), The Chelan County Fair (Cashmere), and the CWU SURC Ballroom (Ellensburg), among many other festivals and venues.  And they’ve shared the stage with some great bands, including The Lonely Forest, Ghost Power, Red Means Go, Small Town Nation, Dylan Morrison, and A Hope Not Forgotten.

You can learn more about Poor Folks, Live Well by checking in at their website and at ReverbNation.

Troy Lindsey

Troy Lindsey started playing guitar when he was 14 years old, taking three lessons in the back of a church from a preacher in rural Wyoming, and has had a guitar in his hands ever since.  While growing up his greatest influences were Waylon Jennings and AC/DC, which blended together to give his music its outlaw flavor. 

In 1991, Troy joined the Marine Corps and was stationed in Hawaii working in helicopter aviation.  After leaving the Marines in 1997, he continued with helicopter aviation which he does to this day. Troy has traveled the world, met many musicians and seen lots of life, which attribute to the worldly sound in his music.  During his travels he always packs a guitar or adds to his collection from local luthiers he discovers. 

In the summer of 2009, Troy released his first album “Out of Time For People Without Time” and currently is working on his next project that will include more vocals from his daughter Kristen McCamey.  A brief description of his music would be “Mindful poetry, acoustically blended with modern sounds, laden with thoughts and emotion.”

You can email Troy or learn more at his website.
