“A seriously gifted songwriter ...
A timeless brand-new Americana classic” - American Songwriter Magazine

It may be her haunting, husky voice that first grabs a listener, the way it glides over melodies like smoke, but it’s the songwriting that Spicer really wants you to hear. Her songs have a grit- even when they ache, yet still can exude a  playfulness when she’s on stage. Wanderlust spills from her songs, with topography that covers languid farmlands, quirky roadside stops, and an occasional turn down a dark alley with flickering neon.. Or, as she might say with a slight drawl: “Water, wine and whiskey”. 
No Depression exclaimed: “While it is only my opinion that Spicer is going to be the next member of the Nashville Royal family, it certainly helps my argument that I’m not the only critic saying as much”.
Named "Best Americana Artist" twice by the LA Music Awards, Spicer has performed at venues and festivals all over the country, including the Kerrville Folk Festival, WoodyFest, 30A, Americanafest, and the Kennedy Center. 
Also a filmmaker, producer, and photographer, her songs have been featured on NPR’s “Now Hear This”, and videos lauded by AXS: ““Mesmerizing.., a testament to the notion that DIY methods can produce some extraordinary results." 
Her most recent album, Wow and Flutter, has made many critics’ best-of lists, and was lauded as one of the best albums, any genre, in the last decade by Popdose Magazine.

Some vocalists sing the sweet melodies of folk in haunting melodic tones. Some singers belt the blues with gravel and rage, and some cascade fountains of smooth jazz onto their audience. Susana Silva comes under an entirely different set of performers, in that her style is totally indefinable. Why? Because when she raises the microphone stand and opens her mouth, everybody is too distracted by the sheer scale of her talent to really notice what “box” she fits into. I can think of only one catergory, which can be described as “that goose-bump, hair-standing-one-end type of singer”.

Naturally she has influences; if you listen hard you will certainly hear powerful blues, with accents of jazz and soul beats, along with the odd delightful funk lick. She is keen on Etta James, Alanis Morisette and Stevie Wonder (to name but a few), which would not surprise the listener. However, the impact of her live performance really does leave little in the mind of listener, because she communicates instead with the heart. This can only come from the fact that she exceeds the role of an entertainer – she is rather the embodiment of an astounding story. 

Susana arrived into London under tough circumstances. She had nothing but a bridge for a roof. Miraculously, the gift of a two string guitar, along with her extraordinary talent, saved her life. She began to perform on the South bank, which quickly built her a fan base and provided her with the funds to invest in better and better equipment (as well as a six string guitar). She has now found her home in this city, and is rapidly becoming a recognised name in the music scene. So what do we fundamentally get from her performance?

We get the first-hand experience of a survivor that fought against the odds. We get a woman who sings from a place of authenticity and love, rather than ego. We get an abundance of breath-taking talent, with an equal measure of modesty. Most of all, beneath the love that she purposefully spreads through music, we feel inspired to follow our own dreams with the same gratitude and compassion.

BASS ADJUSTMENT is an international musical collaborative initiated in 2006 by songwriter/producer Rahá Poostchi. His talent pool is drawn from an array of unique artists from all over the world who come together to merge various musical styles from House to Pop, Worldbeat, Funk, RnB, Dance and Smooth Jazz with influences from Oriental, Latin and African music - always expressing the fundamental principle of Unity in Diversity. 
 
BASS ADJUSTMENT released their first album, 'The Style Is To Be Changed', in 2013. By 2014, the collaborative had released its single 'Strive', their latest Funky House track 'Feel As One' and the EP 'Feel As One (Remixes)' - with many more exciting tracks now in the making.

While the members of BASS ADJUSTMENT are fluid with each new project, they all have one thing in common: a sense of profound identity as citizens of the world. It comes as no surprise, then, that on their debut album musical contributions were drawn from every continent in the world. Nonetheless, highlighting some of their core members relays a sense of their profound diversity. In their 20s and mostly 30s, these include:

Rahá – Founder and creative director of BASS ADJUSTMENT. Most tracks are composed by Rahá and develop under his creative direction. As part of his process, he often hands an entire aspect of a track over to another member to develop with creative autonomy. A business consultant when he’s not in the studio, Rahá derives a lot of inspiration from his Persian background. His influences include: Michael Jackson, Kool & the Gang, Earth Wind & Fire, Soul, Funk, House, Ethnic & World music, 70s and 80s

Tobi Akinbiyi aka Tobeatz – Born in Austria and Nigerian of decent, this Producer by profession splits his time between rapping in Europe and producing in Africa, where he owns and runs one of Nigeria’s most successful studios. Tobeatz’s musical influences include: all kinds of music from the 70s & 80s, 80s & 90s HipHop and RnB, Nirvana, The RZA (Wu Tang), Timbaland, Max Martin and Jermaine Dupri.

Karim Bousbia aka Ice – As its youngest member, co-producer and sound-engineer, Karim, brings a youthful energy and vision to BASS ADJUSTMENT. The entrepreneur with Algerian roots is responsible for the technical mixing and mastering of sound. His musical preferences are found in: Hip-Hop, House, Pop, Dr. Dre and Red One.

Chris Ramones T. aka C-Rock – Model, DJ and videographer Chris was responsible for the production of BASS ADJUSTMENT’s first music video to their single ‘Strive’. The talented visual artist with a Filipino background grew up with the musical influences of: pop music from the 80s and 90s; specifically Michael Jackson, R&B, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, reagga, dancehall and NEW Jack Swing.

The collaborations of BASS ADJUSTMENT extend well beyond its specific formation. They socialize as friends, they make musical CDs for kids (with an educational twist) and they share a common vision for community building on a local and global level:

“Most of us got together when we played basketball/streetball every day in 1995. That’s when our bonds were forged. But it wasn’t until years later, almost 20, that we got back together and discovered and pursued our shared passion: promoting and living out unity in diversity through music…” says Rahá Poostchi, Founder of BASS ADJUSTMENT.

Nova Scotia's powerhouse Còig has cemented its status as one of today’s most exciting North American Celtic groups. With a fiery Celtic style as its musical core, Còig offers a fresh and exhilarating mix of traditional tunes, driving instrumentals and contemporary songs performed on over a dozen instruments (vocals, fiddles, piano, guitar, banjo, mandolin, viola, bouzouki, whistles, and more) in a lot of non-traditional ways.

Còig's like no other, thanks to the unique mix of four superb talents. Featuring the fiddling and step-dancing duo of Chrissy Crowley and Rachel Davis, the playful piano of Jason Roach, and the musical musings of multi-instrumentalist Darren McMullen, the quartet’s musical chemistry is unstoppable as they captivate audiences across Canada, the US, Austria and Europe. 

Còig have garnered rave reviews from audiences and media around the world.  Their recording” Rove” was awarded the 2018 East Coast Music Award for Roots Traditional Recording of the Year, alongside a 2018 JUNO Award, Canadian Folk Music Award, Music Nova Scotia Award nomination. Còig are set to release their fourth studio album "Ashlar" in the spring 2019. The best in trad music, in a non-traditional way. That's Còig.

REVIEWS
"...every number is convincing and compellingly delivered. This group's ability to back songs on piano, fiddles, cello, guitars and more gives them enormous scope, and keeps the surprises coming throughout Rove. Slow reels and strathspeys, smooth fiddle and staccato banjo, plenty of their own material as well as the best of three centuries of tradition: there seems to be no end to Còig's talents, and I'm sure their story will continue well beyond this outstanding recording." - Alex Monaghan, FolkWorld 

"—this is a walloping good set from these young lions of East Coast trad. There are five songs and seven instrumental tunes on Rove, all wonderfully engineered and mixed by Dave Gunning. I’m really happy to hear them increase the singing this time around. Rachel Davis and Darren McMullen both have fine voices, and McMullen’s take on Peter Gabriel’s Solsbury Hill was a very pleasant surprise. The purity of Davis’s vocals shines on Down the Road. Instrumentally, few can match these folks. Jason Roach, who is at his thunderous best on the fast and furious numbers, gives fine accompaniment to the superb fiddling of Davis and Chrissie Crowley. McMullen plays guitar, cello, bouzouki, mandolin, mandola, banjo, whistle, and flute—his choices of instrument perfectly complementing the rest of the band on every track. There are plenty of reels, jigs, and strathspeys as you’d expect, as well as a surprise addition of a Dave Brubeck tune. That’s Three To Get Ready played by four, in a band called five in Gaelic. What’s not to like? - Tim Readman, Penguin Eggs 

"Cape Breton Celtic ubergroup Còig realize their sonic potential with their third full-length release Rove, a twelve track treasure trove that will wash over you like the sea upon Nova Scotia shores. Featuring the fiery fiddling duo of Chrissy Crowley and Rachel Davis, the playful piano of Jason Roach, and the musical musings of multi-instrumentalist Darren McMullen, Rove takes listeners back to simpler, gentler times, when Saturday night ceilidhs brought communities together to sing, dance, drink and celebrate their rustic roots. Jigs, reels, ballads – and a brilliant cover of Peter Gabriel’s Solisbury Hill – showcase both the quartet’s strong chemistry, and the region’s rich musical history. Còig are the real deal, folks, and they just might inspire you to set sail for Atlantic Canada." - Celtic Life International

An Argentine proposal of strong rock with the depth of classic music and argentine roots that show between their metal cracks. A band that risks. A new and powerful sound. A band that always surprise, that amuses, that inconveniences. They are heavy, they are deep, rare, sometimes smooth and sweet like Fughu's poison...
