Melody Alex. Patrick




Patrick is a multi-talented French artist. With a background in cinematography and a Master's degree from the University of Montreal (Canada) and the University of Paris III, Sorbonne-Nouvelle, her first passion has always been music, but she escaped into photographic art, writing and cinema. 

The years 2018 and 2019 marked a major turning point in her artistic life: with director and producer Nicole Baron, she signed two film soundtracks (Le Choc and Derrière les oreilles) and played the lead role in the latter, that of a young autistic girl. Still in 2019, a song, "Redemption I'm Crying," earned her a place on the SACEM's list of sociétaires, and she, who has always struggled to combat a pervasive stage fright, rediscovered the freedom to express herself through song. Like all artists, she stopped her activities during the pandemic and became the leader of a company. Her vision of dematerialized education to serve the neuro-divergent is noticed. 

In 2022, she was received at the Elysée Palace for her project, and that same year also became LGBT+ Role Model in the "Leaders" category. In 2023, she ceased all activity to devote herself to music and its production. She has 20 years' worth of hidden songs, mostly in English, which will gradually see the light of day from September 2024.

The Boxcar Sessions by Mary Simon


Introducing "The Boxcar Sessions", the latest sultry bluesy rock EP from the incomparable Mary Simon. Crafted amidst the solitude of the pandemic, Simon's raw talent shines through as she collaborates with a select group of musician friends, resulting in a collection of tracks that resonate with authenticity and emotion.

From the infectious energy of "Heart Sing" to the empowering anthem of "You're Not Worthy", each song on this EP tells a story of love, resilience, and self-discovery. "Number One" delves into the depths of personal strength, while "Play Me" captures the bittersweet essence of unrequited love. Closing with the poignant "If You Wanna", Simon's powerful vocals and evocative lyrics leave a lasting impression.

Sluka


The second single from the forthcoming album "Cautionary Yell". The song is a reflection of the polarization in the USA and all over the world. We used to just ignore people who would rant and scream nonsense. But now they can become leaders of their countries. We've seen this repeat on and on and on... throughout history. But hey... let's have fun anyway!

Brian Keith Mooney




"True Stories of Rock and Roll" is a fun song paying homage to local musicians everywhere, to the people that deal with everything from shady agents to last minute cancellations while driving to the gig, yet they take it in stride because the thing that makes it all good is when you are on stage playing and the magic happens and it all just feels so right 'you would not trade one second of it all, not for a million dollars'.

Tison Duni



Tison Duni is the Swedish guitarist with the sweet melodies, mostly known for the single "The Quiet Courage of Those Left at Home" (2021) and the album "Poets & Adventurers" (2022). The releases generated both thousands of streams and hundreds of fans, radio airplay and great reviews; such as in Rock Hard nr 424: 'it shows a fine hand for melodies and will be appreciated by friends of early Joe Satriani'.


Now he's back with the first song ever released featuring vocals, "Raft Survivors". It's a bitter sweet dueling story and a melodic sensation, based on true events about a ship accident in 1983 in the Gulf of Mexico. It is musically inspired by Mark Knopfler and Pink Floyd. Tison Duni tells a deep and inspiring story in a beautiful way.
