About Guy Dilly and the Twin Powers
In any given setting, a striking performance can expected from singer-songwriter Jordan Harris who's on his way to achieving a reputation as a first class musician. Showing strong self-motivation to effectively build his name, Harris, or otherwise known as Guy Dilly, breezed into Portland as a breath of fresh air freed from his small town youth. His dedication to the pop-rock sound began at age ten with the drums when the guitar and his voice soon followed and have continued to push him forward. Since first writing and recording his own songs in his late teens, he's embarked on a journey that's certain to present a wide range of opportunities.
As a charismatic performer he's gathered a noble following both on his own and as lead singer for The Gentleman's Club, one of Portland's premier cover bands. Harris has received nominations as "Best Male Artist" of the Portland Music Awards, "Best Emerging Artist" of Deli Music Magazine and was selected for televised performances on ABC's "AM Northwest" and "America's Got Talent" filmed before a sold-out Paramount Theater in Seattle. Currently in production with award winning songwriter Josh Schroeder is Harris' debut EP, Young, chalked for a September 2011 release with a sixteen city west coast tour.
About Redwood Son
Redwood Son, a fresh new solo effort by Portland based singer/songwriter Josh Malm (formerly J*Malem) is gearing up to release its debut album at the start of 2011. With two albums under his previous moniker, Beginnings*End & Live @ Mississippi Studios, Malm truly believes this current effort is the culmination of five years of hard work and evolution as an artist. Although the original band was torn apart by the tragic death of drummer Kipp Crawford, in November of 2009, Malm has not given up on the vision they shared. The group was searching for the perfect sound that could represent Malm's childhood in the California Redwoods, with an obvious affinity for the Great NW, when they were cut unexpectedly short. "The sound has been found!" Malm says proudly.
"This music should speak to your soul, and hopefully my stories can help you find some peace within the confines of this human condition we all share in common," says Malm. Coined as "West Coast Americana," you can expect to hear a heavy dose of alt.country, blues, rock, and soul. Whatever the sound, the lyrics stand out in a big way. "Call it folk, call it storytelling. I don't concern myself with labels, as long as the message is clear and the listener feels something deeper, on an emotional level," he says.
Be on the lookout for this rising Son of the Redwoods, boasting an exciting new album!
