Emily White, Tyler Lyle, Kathryn Brawley

EMILY WHITE (Chicago, IL). Emily, though a Memphis, Tennessee native, got her first taste of live acoustic performance in Chicago when she was attending DePaul University. She began playing bars, coffeeshops, open mics, and events on campuses around Chicago, and fell in love with the craft of telling stories through song. She moved to Boston in 2002 to pursue a degree in music and in the fall of her final year there began recording "Every Pulse" which was released in 2005.

It was "Every Pulse" that gained White an Honorable Mention in the Billboard Song Contest and earned her a spot on the compilation CD Womenfolk: Volume One.

Emily White's sophomore release "12 Ways to Live," delves into new territory for the Chicago singer/songwriter. She's still playing her signature guitar lines and singing the disarmingly honest lyrics that have made her popular with fans throughout the country, but the choices in production showcase the songs in an entirely different light than her 2005 EP.

TYLER LYLE (Atlanta, GA). Born in the sin black, Hell hot, Holy Ghost South, Tyler never completely frees himself from the red Georgia clay in his veins, blending rootsy americana with the gypsy folk and African rhythms he was exposed to while living in Europe. His songs include characters like Charlie Chaplain and Oedipus, lovable alcoholics, blind painters, revolutionaries, dreamers, drifters, pesky preachers and those who are human to the utmost.

In a very honest and challenging presentation, Lyle fights his ghosts in the open, on stage, revealing his doubts and shortcomings, disarming the listener and preparing them a place in the caravan into the dark. This is what separates Lyle from his peers, he wants to take us on a journey, he says "I'm not happy unless there has been some sort of transformation between point A and point B. By the end of the song, I want the listener to be in a different place altogether than where she first entered"

That's what Lyle's upcoming release "Notes From the Parade" is concerned with: "It's about the weight of motion and how it interacts with us as humans- how in your favorite story, you can know the whole journey, the tragedy, the joy, how it all ends, but if you re-read it, the weight of it all doesn't go away when the characters are meeting each other for the first time.
