Green Man is an American band based in southern California and formed in 1992 by core members April Theriault, Martin Morrisey and Ken Eros. Dark, beautiful, layered, hallucinogenic, smart -- think 1 Giant Leap, Portishead, and Massive Attack filtered through Celtic, Appalachian and Middle Eastern sensibilities.

The palette of sounds is large and varied, combining acoustic instruments (silver and wooden flutes, tin whistle, accordion, cittern, sitar) with Eastern percussion, electric bass, thunderous drums and guitars, all tied together with rich male and female vocals and lush harmonies.

Often blending world and trip-hop beats, Celtic melodies and contemporary, pop and electronica elements, the band frequently blurs the lines between genres -- whether it be an original composition or an unexpected arrangement of a traditional song. The result is a dynamic and cinematic soundscape that is unique, exciting and fresh.

Green Man's music and collaborations have been placed in True Blood, Saving Grace, The Mindy Project, Intervention, A Novel Romance, Inconceivable and licensed by HBO, E!, Fox, Alliance Films, A&E, INY Film, TNT, and USA Network -- among others.


Circle of Dominion belong to self-prescribed genre "haunting dream rock". The group's sound is characterized by its surreal lyrics, lush vocals, edgy post-punk, psychedelic and progressive influences and use of sonic experimentation.

Craig plays drums, bass, guitar and keyboards. Clara plays guitar, sings and also plays keyboards. They both contribute to writing ethereal melodies and poetic lyrics which give the music its unique foundation and soundscape.

Sounds of Sputnik is Roma Kalitkin, whose signature sound mixes post-rock, shoegaze and dream pop with a slight kickback to noise pop. Originally from Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia, he draws inspiration from My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, Sonic Youth, Happy Mondays, and Slowdive. The musical semblance of this project is closer to the style of Mogwai, Air Formation, Hammock, Airiel, Jesu, Highspire, The Twilight Sad. 

Dubbing himself a "white crow", the music he makes has always gone against trends within Russia, both now as a solo artist and for the 20-odd years he played in various post-punk and shoegaze bands prior to that.

Look forward to Sounds of Sputnik's debut LP 'New Born', to be released by Ear to Ear Records on August 25, 2014, featuring Ummagma, Graham Bonnar (Swervedriver/ Brian Jonestown Massacre), Malcolm Holmes (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark), psych rock producer Fran Ashcroft (Damon Albarn), Russian producers Morozov and Oleg Mezherovsky, and Brazil’s Mind Movies. British producer Marc Joy (Mike Peters, Golden Fable, Primal Scream, Oasis, Bernard Butler) has provided mastering support.

Some artists transcend the need for award, but are nonetheless deserving of decades of accolade.

Burning Spear is such an artist.

A music-maker, community icon, educator, spiritual uplifter; Burning Spear's importance to culture existed before media spotlight, and has only grown since.

For nearly four decades and more than 25 albums, he has carried the torch of the gospel of political activist Marcus Garvey, promoting self-determination and self-reliance for African descendants through lyrics and rhythms that truly deliver the messages of peace and love to all.
