Pulling from an array of influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix and Peter Green to Hans Zimmer and Rachmonnivnov, Mike creates music for film, sync licensing, live blues and rock n roll.  Beginning on piano at age 7, and then adding guitar at age 16, Mike has been playing music live and composing for 20+ years.  He studied under Dr. Robert Miller at East Stroudsburg University where he performed a number of solo compositions for piano.  After college he cut his teeth living and playing music in New York City for over a decade.  He toured the US with his rock band, Mother, bi-coastal hard rock band, Vagus Nerve, Militia Vox, and his psych blues outfit GSM Trio. Recently relocated to Nashville, Mike has started a new musical journey as a lead singer/guitarist/songwriter/composer.  Steeped in American blues and rock with atmospheric elements reminiscent of Pink Floyd, Mike channels the soulful blues vocals of Gregg Allman, Otis Rush, and Paul Rodgers; intertwined with heavy guitar influence from Peter Green, David Gilmour, and Jimi Hendrix.  The sound is familiar yet fresh and all his own.

Patrick Sweany lives for the Grooves. 

Whether it's the ones he records on his albums, the ones he lays down with his band on the stage, or the ones that define his days writing songs and living life in his E. Nashville neighborhood, the Grooves are what have propelled Sweany through 20+ years of performing and recording across 8 studio albums and dozens of countries around the world. Being in the Groove is Sweany's recipe for success. To say 2020 has disrupted these Grooves, is a severe understatement. The cancellation of live music in the U.S. for the past several months initially ground Sweany's Groove to a halt. However, it hasn't all been bad. The time away from the road and away from the studio has forced some introspection and reflection. Serendipitously, Sweany had begun a new experiment in 2019 teaming up with Andrew Trube and Anthony Farrell (the Austin duo known as Greyhounds) to rework and re-record some of his oldest compositions. Taking songs from his first two records, Sweany headed into Bud's Recording Services, Greyhounds' studio while on tour in Texas. Together with his touring band, Sweany reworked about a dozen older songs and even tracked a cover and a never-released tune. The experience was rewarding and fun, but with tour dates pending, the rough tracks sat on the shelf for several more months. Once back in Nashville, Sweany began working with local producer Dexter Green at 3 Sirens Studio. Dex began meticulously shaping and mixing them and Get That Feeling was born. Nine Mile Records is releasing two batches of these recordings (volumes I & II) in 2020 and 2021 while Sweany writes and records another full-length album of new compositions. The songs represent both a look back over Sweany's long career and new collaborations that showcase some sides of Patrick's songs you might find surprising.

​It's never too late to find a new Groove.

I have been playing the pedal steel professionally since 2014, first recording and touring extensively with Kelsey Waldon. I've also been a member of Kacey Musgraves' touring band since 2017 and have been very fortunate to travel the world playing amazing venues, as well as doing lots of TV and even a Christmas special.
For the last couple of years, I have been tracking pedal steel at home for various artists worldwide. I am adept at a full range of effects, from classic honky tonk to more ambient layers.

I’m a musician and an artist.  I love music and have been writing songs for years, so now I want to share them with the world.  Music is a pleasure, for sure, but it is also essential. A wise man once said, ‘Music is God’s voice.'  Music is a supernatural language that we can all understand and feel, it is universal.  I'm a storyteller more than anything, I tell stories through my music.

Hunter Loken Parcel is a proud, unapologetic, singer-songwriter from the great state of North Dakota. The phrase, “salt of the earth,” comes to mind when thinking of a way to describe Parcel.

His lyrical rhetoric paints vivid images of the snowy prairies of home, and the profound passion that has carried him away to Nashville, Tennessee. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Kerouac and Ginsberg, Parcel has molded his own identity as a storyteller who continues to find inspiration in the landscapes that reared him. Hunter Parcel mentioned that he wants to create music that connects to people on a human level.
