Andy Berkhout

Milwaukee-based singer/songwriter Andy Berkhout never planned for his solo music to see the light of day. After living in South Africa for nearly half a year, he began writing songs as a way to transition back to life in the United States. ”The pace of everything felt very fast, so writing music became my practice of taking some time out of the day to slow down and reflect,” recalls Berkhout. ”The songs were very personal and almost like a diary to me.”

George Christiansen
It is hard to narrow George Christiansen's music down to just one particular category. It defies easy labeling while at the same time having a familiar quality to it. A soulful voice mixes with intricate guitar

playing and interesting word play to create a song catalog that is varied without being schizophrenic. His songs reveal an original perspective while at the same time making you feel like you can relate.
