"HOME"

I've had enough, of all this stuff,			
That brings me down, I'm all but drowned.	
I don't need much, for my life's clutch.
I have no crutch as such, no loving touch.	

I'll call my bluff, and pretend to be oh so tough.
Pack a bag and take a drag, pacing in a restless zig zag.
Too many sunsets wasted on this scene.
Too many pockets emptied over burning kerosene.

I see the train passing every day from my front porch.
Burn down this house of pain with a blazing torch.

I'm leaving this town.  I'm leaving this frown.  I'm coming home. 

Sleeping with snakes and fakes, the venom, it's all high stakes.
Those razor blades of lies, hidden in freshly baked pies.
Stuck in the mud and always, swallowing blood.
No voice to talk or lamp to rub.  No path to walk, or heart to flash flood.

Gotta leave this place fast, I always knew it would never last.
I'm still alive, my time's not at all passed.
My hands are tied and my, love has lied,
To them, to you, and to me myself and I.

I hear the train's whistle calling my name to hike,
Beyond the prickly thistle, just itching to strike.

I'm leaving this town.  I'm leaving this frown.  I'm coming home. 
I've lost and I've found.  I won't turn around.  I'm coming home.

Life is like the gift that keeps on taking,
Not the gift that keeps on giving, or forgiving.

Life is like the gift that keeps on aching,
And the gift that you keep on making. 

I've packed my bags, and left behind my rags.
I've shaved face, and combed my hair, neatly in place.
I took a breath that's deep, behind the door that I used to weep,
Suitcase firmly in hand, flying away to land. 

Day after day the door's shadow shapes, a wedge upon the floor,
As I open slowly it gets bigger, from the sunset's roar.
I take my steps a new, into the sunset's orange hue.
Across the field the train, has on their list my last and first name

It's not so easy using decision's sharp knife.
Better to slowly breathe than risk cutting the cord to life.
I hear the train's whistle calling my nerves to strike,
Like a call to action for a suffocating pike.

I'm leaving this town.  I'm leaving this frown.  I'm coming home. 
I've lost and I've found.  I won't turn around.  I'm coming home.

I'm leaving this town.  I'm leaving this frown.  I'm coming home. 
I've lost and I've found.  I won't turn around.  I'm coming home.

I'm coming home.

"Carla’s music is vibrant, ethereal, sometimes haunting, and so often mesmerizing." - POPAXIOM

Thunderous, abstract and outrageously psychedelic best defines the multi-talented artist Pennan Brae. Not only does Pennan create classic rock-infused albums, they also serve as soundtracks for films he writes and co-produces.   

2025 sees the release of the new album, 'Paint' featuring Steve Ferrone on drums.  The release follows '50 Million Years Ago' & 'Portal' albums in 2024. 2023 sees the release of 2 new albums, the 1980s rock-inspired 'Arcade' release & the 12-track '2 Below 0' (Remastered) Soundtrack. In the Spring of 2022, Pennan kicked things off with lead singles 'Zulu', '5 Foot 2' & 'Super Storm' off the 'The Garden Series, Vol. 2: Picked' album.  The 10 tracks release serves as the second half of a double album with Vol. 1's 'Planted' released in Nov 2021.  

'Planted' kicked off with Pennan's upbeat country rock track, 'Mona' off the 'Planted' album.  During the summer, Pennan released his 9th album, 'Cinema' & the new track, 'Weed & Whisky Women'.  The album is mixed by Kirk Kelsey (The Smashing Pumpkins) & mastered by Adam Fulton of The Mix Medics.

2021 also welcomes Pennan’s new release ‘Lit’, a 10-song thrill ride oozing with the spirit of 1970s & 80s rock & roll. 

2020 saw the release of Pennan’s seventh album & accompanying album, ‘2 Below 0’.  Recorded at Blue Light Studio in Vancouver with producer Kaj Falch-Nielsen, the 12-song rock & roll masterpiece received airplay on 130 AAA & College Radio Stations in North America.  Pennan created music videos with Hip Video Promo & director Tim Cash for each single off the album. They have gone on to receive rotation 50 television stations across the United States. The film & soundtrack have also received accolades at 75 film festivals worldwide. 

In 2018, Pennan released ‘The Astronot’ album & film. Mixed by producer Kirk Kelsey (Smashing Pumpkins, Creed), the lead singles, ‘Walk With Me’ & ‘Crashland’ feature legendary drummer Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Eric Clapton) and bassist Garry Gary Beers (INXS). ‘Crashland’ was written with Grammy-nominee Eric Alexandrakis & the album mastered by Grammy-winner Sean Magee (The Beatles Remasters, Pink Floyd) at Abbey Road Studios.  

Few artists strive to create a truly unique world in which their fans can thrive quite like this. Pennan Brae is not just a singer, songwriter, guitarist, actor or producer, but a completely creative essence.

Wet Present is a record label, wholly owned by John Kline, for "The Music Therapy Experiment." and "John Kline.." 

John P. Kline, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and multi-instrumentalist whose music spans classical, rock, jazz, and New Age. A lifelong admirer of classical composers and performers, Kline brings that sensibility into a catalogue that moves easily between heavy guitar work, improvisational passages, and ambient soundscapes.

He composes, performs, engineers, mixes, and masters his own recordings, shaping music that is eclectic yet deeply personal. His solo releases sit alongside his work under the name The Music Therapy Experiment (TMTE), a project built on collaborations with guest musicians while always centered on Kline’s compositions and recordings. A handful of tracks feature him alone, while others highlight the voices of collaborators, including Mark Christianson. The project’s name came from Kline’s own candid description of himself during a difficult time: “a music therapy experiment.”

Across all of his work, the common thread is curiosity. Whether listeners connect with reflective textures, jazz-inflected improvisation, or the drive of rock guitar, Kline’s music treats sound as an open-ended experiment — sometimes calm, sometimes restless, always human.

Stanley Grill is a classical composer whose passion for medieval and Renaissance music has greatly influenced his writing. Two main themes permeate many of his works – music composed in an attempt to translate something about the nature of the physical world, and music composed to inspire and promote world peace.

Hippie Tendencies (H.T.) is comprised of four prestigious Italian musicians with serious skills (Marco Cremaschini - keys, piano, Cesare Valbusa - drums, Massimo Saviola - electric bass and Christian Codenotti -acoustic guitar and vocals) and their American co-composer/singer/songwriter Lisa Marie Simmons. As the Cantine dell'Arena says "...the magical unexpected mix that makes up Hippie Tendencies, is a completely original product, full of commercial potentiality...” H.T. mixes pop with jazz, throws in some folk and heats it all up with a hearty dose of funk.&#13;
