While attending art school in Baltimore, MD Dan Blakeslee, a Maine native discovered that he had an equal and deeply rooted connection to music. He would sneak into the galleries to play his guitar through the late hours of the evening surrounded by easels and oil paintings. After four years in "Charm City" he returned to his childhood home in the Tatnic Woods of South Berwick, ME. That summer he played street corners in New Hampshire and Maine while working at a lobster restaurant. His employer urged him to sever ties to manual labor for one of a more musical nature. A phone call from a friend offering him a room in Somerville, MA began his journey south in 1995. While settling into this artful community he began to practice his craft in the smoke laden subways of Boston. He now has been making music and art in the New England region ever since, leading him to tour the U.S. and abroad. He has performed with The Low Anthem, David Wax Museum, Dawes, The Lumineers, Deer Tick, Liam Finn, Brown Bird, Josh Ritter, Old 97's, Will Dailey, Death Vessel and Kimya Dawson to name a few. His album "Owed To The Tanglin' Wind" featuring The Low Anthem was released in 2014. In 2015 his dream of playing Newport Folk Festival became a reality, where Bob Dylan went electric 50 years earlier. And after a pause between full band records his long awaited album "The Alley Walker" featuring his band The Calabash Club came out in 2017 to much acclaim. After touring the US a couple times and much journeying it was time to get back in the studio. Blakeslee had been dreaming of making a full length Christmas album for over a decade inspired by his retro music collection. So on a cold winter night in 2019 Blakeslee stepped into the studio for the first session of "Christmasland Jubilee". This full-length album by Dan Blakeslee and the Calabash Club will be revealed on December 1, 2020 and is their third release together.

Cake on Cake is the band of Helena Gabrielsson with a little help of family and friends. 


Helena formed the band back in 2005 when she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Umeå. Small experimental pieces of sound, recorded in the art-studio, grew into popsongs.

After sending a demo by regular post to the small independent label Desolation Records, located in Richmond (Indiana), they released Cake on Cakes first album I See No Stars in 2005. Since then Cake on Cake has released three albums one EP and one remix-album. Helena has also been singing with other bands and has ocassionaly made songs for compilations. 

After 10 years of silence, the band is now recording music again.

The Joint Profits, a unique approach on hip-hop with backgrounds varying from 70's disco, classic rock, funk. Talents of several well known musicians, Marc McElroy, Cam Gunn, Tim Davio, Reggie and Jamal Cooley emulsified to create a brand new sound. Raw vocals, fluid poetry over live instrumentation. This record consists of everything except typical, commercialized sound. Organic and hand crafted, with emotion in each note played. Take a journey and wrap yourself up with the sweet sounds of The Joint Profits!

Professional session musician, producer, and artist. I record remote overdubs from my studio, Roughly Nowhere.
