With two solo albums, one album with KAVUS and 2.25 albums with Classical Blast, David Kav is no stranger to the music world.  He has been playing acoustic guitar and singing for nearly two decades.  David has collaborated with other artists and is featured as a guest musician on other recordings as well to include Dawn Xiana Moon, Ian Narcisi.  David has been featured on WGN Channel 9 Morning News as well as featured on Pretty Late with Patti Vasquez on WGN Radio Chicago.  David has opened for many national acts with his last band Classical Blast to include Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Michael McDonald, Eric Burdon & the Animals, Don Felder of the Eagles, Burton Cummings of the Guess Who, The Orchestra (former members of ELO & ELO II.) As a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan (and David would like to point out that he has always been a Cubs fan - EVEN when they were the "butt-end of MANY a joke,")David had the utmost pleasure and privilege to play the National Anthem at Wrigley Field three times with his aforementioned former band.  David's next step is new music to (HOPEFULLY) be released in (early) 2017.  David's musical path may have changed.  However, it is just beginning with the next chapter that will unfold in the coming year.  David is thankful for the friends, family and tribal members that have tirelessly supported him - both quietly and with gusto.
With eternal gratitude and many thanks,
David Kav

River Rising is the collaboration of Chicago singer-songwriters Megan Deiger and Tim Hazen. The duo's first EP When I Find You is available for download on Bandcamp  and iTunes.

"Megan Deiger is a true singer-songwriter with the unique ability to express a broad range of emotion with a consistent powerhouse intensity. Her songs are joyful and spiritual, gentle and contemplative, and often heartbreakingly beautiful. The underlying quality of Deiger’s music (and her performance of it) is an honest appreciation of the life experience—a characteristic that brings the listener into the story to immediately relate to it. In her live performance, Deiger is dynamic, engaging, and utterly charming."

"It’s rare to hear originality and honesty combined together these day in the business. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to find both qualities resounding through the music of Louisville’s Nick Peay. His uncomplicated, heartfelt songs could soon be heard all over..."
~Keith Chachkes, Hot Indie News


"Nothing feels contrived or forced; more raw and organic and I will go out on a limb and say, these songs are as they should be. The emotive songwriting and the simple, yet poignant musicality paired with tight production work make ["Feathers & Fables"] one damn good listen. 
~ Christopher West, Skope


"The music is clean, goes down smooth, and the messages are extremely thought provoking and passionate in  nature. It’s strong suit – the deeply rich production value, amazing songs and  strong vocal presence from Nick Peay possesses enough musical talent and songwriting prowess to be extremely dangerous."
~Cyrus Rhodes, The Muse's Muse 


“Nick Peay is obviously someone with a lot of talent. Musically the songs are well-formed and appealing. Feathers and Fables is an EP of good, crisp songs with a flavour which takes them away from the rigid formula of a lot of music. And that can only be a good thing.”
~Charles Martel, Music Emissions


“With each side of Feathers and Fables working on all cylinders, Nick is able to showcase the more esoteric and nuanced facets of his style during both Home and Mockingbird. Peay’s beauty here comes in the sheer adoptability of the track[s] to listeners’ lives.”

PleasureTown is a story-based podcast told in serial form that details the history of a little-known, failed Oklahoma utopian society.

The town’s history is crowdsourced, piece by piece, by the producers, collaborators and audience members. 

PleasureTown is created and produced by Keith Ecker and Erin Kahoa, along with the assistance of WBEZ in Chicago.

Urban Twangʼs quixotic songwriting team of Lead Vocalist Trish Clausen and guitarist Max Twang. Trish and Maxʼs first project was a pop ska band called The Eccentrics (it’s not you, no one has heard of them). Their next band was Price of Passion (no one has heard of either). 

Because of Max’s fascination with bolo ties they redefined themselves by adding an Americana vibe to their music and became Urban Twang. 

With a resumé that boasts opening for nationally touring acts, songs appearing in indie films, and numerous performances for radio and television, Urban Twang is still gathering new fans to enjoy their music.
