As a former hair-dresser, bungee-jumping teacher and martini shaking bartender, Tara Bliss has always loved one thing: pushing herself and other people to go beyond what they think is appropriate.

These days, as a coach, author and yoga teacher (with swagger), she’s still deeply passionate about guiding women to stretch beyond what is reasonable, or what feels possible.

Named a ‘self-help guru’ by ELLE magazine, her teachings have been featured in Cleo, The Sunday Mail, The Daily Love and Mind Body Green.

When she’s not jamming with her clients or immersed in writing projects, you’ll find her making shapes on her yoga mat, planning a snowboarding trip with her man, hanging by the sea (channeling her inner mermaid), or thinking about Mexican food.

Nikki O'Neill is an R&B/Americana songwriter, singer, guitar player & world citizen on Blackbird Record Label. 

Her third album, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, will be out on March 14, 2025.

It's me Beka! I am affectionately call Beka or B. I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida to two beautiful and loving parents. My mother a librarian and my father a reverent Baptist minster. I grew up singing in the church choir. Singing has always been my first passion throughout my Middle and High School years to present. I have competed in, and won various talent shows in those early days in my home town. I have always dreamed of getting on the big stage.




At age 18 I left home to pursue my dreams in the entertainment industry and immediately was scouted by modeling agencies which put my singing on hold but the music was always my first choice. I was compelled to move to Miami beach where I had the good fortune modeling for some big names in the fashion business such as Betsy Johnson, Lancôme makeup, John Paul Mitchell to name a few. It wasn't long after that I moved to NYC to model for fashion week I got with some major agencies. Modeling with for some big names such as Baby Phat, Tommy Hilfiger, swim wear, Victoria secret, and many others.




 I have done films including the great independent film, the final straw, off Broadway play, playing Eartha Kitt in “More Than A Dream.” Also appeared in top TV shows including, Law and Order and Unfaithful featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network. As a performer, I had major music performances on Stage NYC at Broadway Baby and also performed live at universal studios in LA. I have also traveled the world modeling, Including, LA, London, Paris, Mexico, and Germany to name a few. I have also featured in major magazines such as: Hype Hair, Marie Claire, Today's Women, fashion and photographer's books and modeling catalogs such as JCPenney's. I'm also member of Action against hunger and one.org.




I was chosen for various events by Playboy to model for charity events, and host some Playboy TV. It was so excited when I was chosen to by body painted for Hugh Hefner's   birthday party. It was an honor. It was so exciting and lovely hanging out at the Playboy Mansion with others.




 In late 2013, I met and teamed up with composer/writer and producer Neddy Smith. He took me under his tutelage and taught me how to effectively sing and use various vocal techniques without stressing my voice while vocalizing as a performer on stage or in the recording studio. I've also learned so much about caring and what goes into the life of a vocalist from Neddy my vocal coach during various lessons. He's truly the consummate professional, an awesome person, an educator, a musician and a guiding light for my music career today. 





I do love children and people from around the globe and want to make a difference in the world with my music. My desire is to travel the globe not only as a performer but also to share with others in various nations and diverse cultures the beauty we all share together as a people through music.


Millie Dolan sings and plays banjo in two bands: ; ' THE SAUVIETTES', with Sophie Crumb and Emily Schons, and 'MENAGE A TROIS', with Rob Fuke and Stephen Harrison

THE SAUVIETTES

Because we're from the village of Sauve in France. 3 women with a love of early 20th century American music and folk music: 3 voices, guitar and banjo.

MILLIE DOLAN arrived in Sauve in 1997, leaving gay Paris behind. She quickly became involved in Occitan folk music and is the vice-president of Gargamela Theatre, as well as performing with 'Menage A Trois' and 'Les Sauviettes'.

A partir de ses racines irlandaises, Millie Dolan a fait un voyage tout en chansons passant du Pays de Galles au Languedoc. Toujours accro a l’histoire culturelle caché derrieres les chansons folk, Millie en collectionne sur la route. Sa rencontre avec Annette Clément, comédienne occitane, lui a permis de rajouter à son répertoire des chansons occitanes, catalanes, italiennes et piémontaises, mais c’est dans la chanson Anglaise, moins connu que sa compatriote irlandaise, qu’elle s’eclate, ainsi que la musique folk des Etats Unis, dont l’ origine etait souvent des immigrees europeenes. 

Elle joue avec ‘Menage A Trois’, trio de country et folk, depuis un certaine temps.

Elle ne pouvait pas s’en passer de l’opportunité de creer ‘Les Sauviettes’ avec Emily Schons et Sophie Crumb, deux filles de son village adoptif de Sauve qui chantent comme des anges!



Sophie Crumb moved to the village of Sauve in France at around the age of nine. She went to the local school and has returned to the region to live. Sophie has an astonishing knowledge music; she knows so many songs.

Née en californie en 1981, grandie en marge avec parents dessinateurs de BD underground, Sophie est arrivée à Sauve en 1991. Elle joue du piano, guitare et basse depuis jeune, et bien sur, elle dessine. A 20 ans elle pars à Paris faire l’ecole de cirque. elle travaille en temps que professeur d’anglais, avant de repartir aux Etats-Unis en 2004 oÙ elle se forme en tatouage à New York. 

Sophie a sortie un livre et quelques BDs avant de rentrer en France en 2007 faire des tatouages, des expos, deux enfants et puis, en 2013, Les Sauviettes, avec Emily et Millie.

Emily Schons arrived in Sauve at the age of 2 from California. She has studied at Berkeley, played with Sophie in a band when they were both teenagers, and shares Sophie's love of the music of the early 20th century.


Née aux Etats-Unis d’une mère américaine et d’un père français, Emily a été élevée dans le sud de la France, à Sauve, où elle a suivi le cursus d’éducation classique jusqu’à ses 21 ans. 

Elle a alors arrêté ses études à la Fac de Montpellier pour partir vivre en Californie et suivre des études de chant à la Jazz School de Berkeley. Après 5 années passées à San Francisco, elle est revenue en France pour reprendre le restaurant de ses parents. 
Parallèlement, elle a fait des études d'œnologie et de sommellerie. 

Ré-acclimatée à la vie gardoise, elle s’est remise à chanter dans différents groupes lorsque Millie l’a branché pour un projet de groupe vocal à deux. Emily lui a alors suggéré d’inclure Sophie Crumb, amie d’enfance avec qui elle a toujours joué et partagé l’amour de cette "good old music". Ainsi sont nées Les Sauviettes.

MENAGE A TROIS

Their disc 'Rambleaway' is a mixture of traditional English language songs from different parts of the world.
Folk music, irrespective of its origins, expresses simply the themes found in great literature: love, revenge, humour, tragedy etc. while at the same time providing a social history in the voice of the common man. Some of the songs have evolved since their migration to other lands - 'Strike the bell' for example is a sea shanty, but has become a sheep-shearing song in Australia called 'Click go the shears'. 'New York girls' isn't American at all, but an Irish song, which tells of a sailor getting robbed by a New York prostitute.
The origins of American country music are an example of this musical diaspora. The American blues song 'The Dying Crapshooter's Blues' has very similar lyrics and the same wistful sentiments of a life nearly over as great English robber song 'Adieu, adieu' which dates from 18th century London. 'Bob Dylan's Dream' borrows the melody from 'Lord Franklin', a song about the Arctic expedition which left England in 1845, led by British national hero, Sir John Franklin. Franklin and his crew were never heard from again.
These songs have crossed frontiers and oceans, sometimes even evolving into songs in another language, but above all they trace the routes of social and economic migration throughout the last few centuries.

MILLIE DOLAN: voice, kazoo, banjo

Millie Dolan, of Cornish-Irish stock, grew up in Wales, where like almost everyone else she sang in choirs.
Leaving 'the land of song', she roamed around picking up songs, fascinated by the socio-cultural history hidden within them.
She picked up American folk and country on the way, as these songs were often brought to America by European immigrants.
Performing with the Occitan actress Annette Clément introduced her to traditional songs in Occitan, Catalan, Piedmontaise and Italian.
Her love of English folk music, less known than its Irish counterpart, led to her collaboration with Rob Fuke and Stephen Harrison in Ménage à Trois.

STEPHEN HARRISON: doublebass, banjo, voice

Born in the North of England, Stephen Harrison is one of the best double bass players in Europe.
During the course of his already long musical career he has formed and played with some of the best bands of recent years: The Sons of the Desert, l'Attirail, Jasmine Bande, Freebidou, to name a few, and has shared the stage with The Pogues, Emir Kusturica, Bill Wyman, Louise Attaque, Jacques Higelin, Pink Martini...
He has played on more records than most people have had hot dinners, and is equally at home with Bluegrass, Rockabilly, Old Time, Musette, Irish and Scottish tunes, as he is playing a double bass concerto with L'Orchestre EDF...

ROB FUKE: guitars, banjo, kazoo, voice

Rob Fuke, singer-guitarist of Anglo-Scottish origin has diverse musical influences.
He went to one of the best music schools going: the Paris Metro, and has played in various groups all over Europe.
A founder member of the Celtic Reelers with Ian McCamy and Roger Morand, he has also recorded with Robert Crumb.
A misspent youth hanging round in folk clubs shows in his knowledge of English folk tunes, and his happy collaboration with Stephen Harrison (amongst others) in The Metropolitan Cowboys gave him a taste for American country, folk and Bluegrass music.
He has performed folk and country music for the last few years with his wife, Millie Dolan.

Ixtab (Mayan pronunciation: [iʃˈtaɓ]) or Rope Woman was the Yucatec Mayan goddess of suicide according to Diego de Landa. In Yucatec society, under certain circumstances, suicide, especially suicide by hanging, was considered an honorable way to die. Ixtab would accompany such suicides to paradise (thus playing the role of a psychopomp). Here, joined by people who died as soldiers or as sacrificial victims, by women who died in childbirth and by members of the priesthood, they enjoyed a delectable existence rewarded with delicious food and drink and resting under the shade of a pleasant tree, Yaxche, free from all want.

THOUGHTS

Most of us spend much time wondering why nature is the way it is.
Why some get the fortune while the others get the women?
Why some get both while the others get nothing?

I say, we are all dying and every single moment of our mortal lives could be the last,
Then, can we really afford to spend so much precious time wondering why?

Men are haunted by the quest of love. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across our lifetime?
"Has she ever heard of me?" "Has she ever thought of me, wondering who could I be, how bravely I could fight, how fiercely I could love?"


This is a cruel world we live in and you know, sometimes I wish I could forget everything and sink into a dream, with her on my side.
She would turn towards me with a smile on her face, asking what would I want to do next, I would say:

" - I want to indefinitely stare at a warm sun, rising up from a cold ocean, on a perfect beach.
I want to get caught by a magnificient shooting star, spinning me off into infinite space, to feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me.
I want to be an angel, flying throughout the immensity of our planet, flirting with a powerful tornado, diving into the eye of a giant hurricane.
But above all, I want to lay down at your side, hug you tight, kiss you tenderly and love you dearly until my time comes.
And when it will happen, I won't be like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, weeping and praying for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Because mine is complete. I cherish the idea to breathe one's last like a hero starting a long journey, leaving his beloved safe and sound, hoping that one day they'd meet again.. "


Alas, Reality catches us up.
The truth is, I go about my daily life understanding almost nothing of the world.
I know I want to reach out with something else. I could experience much more, I could accomplish so much more..


If they ever tell you my story, let them say it was my destiny, let them say I wasn't good enough for you, let them say I wasn't falling for you.
Men rise and fall like the winter wheat but the Soul is immortal..

And mine is yours for Eternity..

Michael Anthony Hollowell,Jr A.K.A Da Ovacomer was born on September 9, 1988, to Sharon Jeaniest Green and Michael Anthony Hollowell Sr. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at St. Joseph's Hospital. I was chosen from my mother's womb to walk this walk with Christ. It wasn't as easy as people thought it was. My father abandoned me when I was only an infant, but no matter what, my mother was always there as a single parent. She raised me and my 2 siblings and trained us in church, but as years went on, we began to stray from the church like lost sheep. At the age of 10, my family and I moved to Mississippi where I was to be raised most of my life. While at the age of 14, I received a word from the Lord that I would be preaching at the age of 17.

It was never fulfilled because I wasn't doing the will of God. As time began to pass, that same word was spoken into my life 4 more times by different men and women of God (out of the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses every word is established). As I aged, I realized that God called me to preach the gospel. I began to struggle in school. In fact, at the age of 15, I dropped out of school and conformed to this world.

I began smoking and drinking, chasing women, selling drugs, and running with gangs. But when I turned 18, my life really began to sink. I then moved to Alabama, where I started hanging on street corners, hustling just to get another dollar, but God showed me that was not the life. In early 2009, I became a born again Christian, accepting the call of God to minister through His music and reach this nation and draw souls to Christ for the kingdom. I am only His servant—He has anointed me to preach the gospel and I will not stop until Jesus claims his throne.
