MIKE McHugh- Solid New York songwriter and poet Mike McHugh, on the scene from the days of The SpeakEasy in the West Village and the folk-anti-folk movement, contributes topical songs to the evening such as "Money to Burn". He wrote "Two Lovers Can Draw Down the Moon" covered beautifully by songstress Erin Hill and HEATSEEKERS CHART topper in 2004. New Century Productions.com
AGENTS of KARMA- James Cavanaugh on bass guitar heads the New York based politically and socially conscious rock trio AOK. "A phaser-soaked bass guitar thrusts the melody out into the audience; pounded out with all the fury and flash of a prom date scorned. Indeed, as the bassist cues off the sharp clap of snare and hi-hat; lets the warm and full drone of the guitar's first set of chords soak in; and cuts to the lead vocal of the opening song, "One Man's Trash", he looks like he should be wearing a tattered tuxedo." - PaperTaxi Agent of Karma.
