Casey Stark - A California native, but newcomer to the singer-songwriter scene, Casey’s brand of music has been described as ‘California country’ and ‘Americana.’ Descending from a long line of musicians, singers and songwriters, Casey marked her debut in 2002 and has received airplay in both the U.S. and Australia.

Melissa Reese – This young, talented singer, pianist, writer, and producer has been a musical prodigy since the age of 4. Classically trained in both piano and voice, Melissa has expanded her musical influences to include hip-hop, R&B and pop. Having discovered Pro-Tools, she has now written, performed and produced over 30 songs on her demo, all from her home studio.

Sara Melson – Hailing from Indiana and now in L.A., Sara grew up memorizing albums by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Band, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, and early Bowie. Her hooky folk-pop songs are filtered through a moody, psychedelic dreamscape and have been described by Steve Mirkin of Daily Variety as, “Like Laura Nyro hooking up with Beggars’ Banquet-era Rolling Stones… something special.”

Dean O’Leary – An Australian native visiting Los Angeles, Dean has been writing songs since the early age of fourteen when he first picked up the guitar. His own brand of music has a wide range of influences and genres, with a combination of folk, rock and blues and at times a hint of jazz in the chord progressions. A favorite on the local singer-songwriter scene in his native Sydney, be sure not to miss this L.A. performance. Go to www.deanoleary.com for more.
