 There are only two kinds of musician. Those who want to play music and those who have to play. Music is a friend that comforts without judgement. Music is a challenge that rewards investment.  Music is a companion on long nights spent alone. Music holds memories in defiance of time. Music weaves its way into the very fabric of the day and makes any atmosphere better for it's presence. Music is the soundtrack of our lives. An expression of the soul. A connection to something higher. Music is therapy. Music is hope. To see the beauty of music one only has to imagine life without it. To feel the power of music is to open up. Music is a place to be honest. It's the saddest, funniest, most serious, silliest thing you've ever heard. Music is a savior. A guiding light through the darkest times. Music is necessary. Music is the universal language . Music breaks down barriers and builds self esteem. Through trial and fire, music will separate the do from the don'ts, the cans from the cant's, and the wills from wont's. 
Because when all is said and done, there are only two kinds of musicians.
Real words and real life experience that resonates with wisdom. The skinny long legged one weaving webbed tales to ensnare to curious. These songs invite you in and then your stuck them. They work their way into the cracks of your subconscious. They revisit as a line or phrase drops back into the routine of the day and you find yourself singing it under your breath on the way to burn away your ten minute break on the back of a red dog.  
It's the undeniable feeling of hearing something intensely intimate and personal while being able to relate to each and every line.  Feeling every word as if you yourself had lived it.
It is the work of a person dedicated to observation and illumination.
This is a songwriter. 
This is a storyteller.
This is honesty.
This is Shawn Tracy.
Listen.




Trinity 7,led by bassist/singer Ras Meishak hailing from the hills of Jamaica, delivers authentic, roots reggae.Their original music carries on the message that reggae was founded on: a message of inspiration,revolution,transformation,hope,unity & peace. As music runs through his veins, he is joined by his family who bring the rest of the music to life. Trinity 7 has shared the stage with many well known artists such as the Wailers,Culture & Stephen Marley. Their music has continuously proven to capture the attention of audiences worldwide.


Trinity 7's 2010 release of their album Wild Fire, made an imprint upon the music scene, starting an ever growing fan base all over the globe. The songwriting talents of singers Ras Meishak & Arata concoct a healthy dose of observation. On Stop Him, Ras fortells that "our actions shape our destiny"  & he is echoed by Arata's questioning frustration on Guns. Love is a Light chants on like a mantra, taking you on a journey until hope is renewed on Visions of Happiness. This kindling makes up  Wild Fire.

2013's release, Resurrection Morning , continues the vision with the addition of acoustic elements that bring a feeling of intimate presence into the origin of Ras Meishak & Arata's writing. All music is now playing on many internet radio stations like Pandora, Last FM & Radio Airplay etc..


Trinity 7's unique sound ignites a new generation of reggae.

Fluke Artist is the debut album for Melbourne band Labrador Land.

 Labrador Land has replaced Autumnal a long-time collaboration between singer songwriter Richard Besley and producer Wez Prictor (Mick Harvey, Tobias Cummings). Autumnal released three acclaimed new folk albums (Your Elfin Foot 2007, Hemisphere  2012, Confess the Fire 2013).

“[Richard Besley's] songs resemble poems of painful reflection and are delivered as though he were a mate calmly pouring out his heart ….. atmospheric arrangements add to the emotion and mood, while breezy acoustic instrumentals serve to break up the intensity.....there is a great deal of beauty in his suffering.” The Sydney Morning Herald

Besley and Prictor have been joined by young jazz musicians Danny Finkelstein and Tim Chambers to form Labrador Land.

Fluke Artist continues the Autumnal tradition of fine melodic songwriting but traverses a broader musical palette of alt-country rock, funk and even a moment of reggae. Painful reflection has been replaced by quizzical observation of the challenges of staying true to yourself in a tough world.

                          BIOGRAPHY
Jabarr Franklin AKA Barz Damu  is an aspiring artist who enjoys his craft in every facet, takes his work very seriously, and embraces the culture of Hip Hop. Born November 24, 1987 in the Bronx along with his brother Omarr Franklin AKA Frank'o Shack moved down to the College Park suburb south of Atlanta with their northern groomed parents at the age of two who had special talents in the arts. Their father Charles Franklin was a bus driver for twenty years for the New York Transit Authority who loved to paint pictures and loved Latin music which got the twins akin to rhythm. Their mother Annette "CoCo" Franklin was a magnificent jewelry designer, clothes designer, and home decorator. The twins were influenced by their art work and they have the ability to put words together the way their parents put colors together. They grew up being well respected but outcasts to their peers because of the way they viewed the world. Their view of life put them in a peculiar position, feeling alone within their own stance and beliefs. As for Barz, it disrupted his self-esteem and wondered why the world was the way it was. In the search for answers, both brothers were able to put words together in poetic form and let out all frustrations over Hip Hop instrumentals as an outlet. Thanks to the trials and tribulations throughout the years, especially getting kicked out of college, the twins discovered that the calling the had been searching for all of these years were right under their nose....Hip Hop. They realized that their ability, charisma, content, lyricism, bluntness, originality and relevance is what the game needed. Their work consists of everyday human emotions of pain, struggle and joy.  They recite most their lyrics in a direct   hardcore manner expressing their findings from introspect, retrospect, observation, desire and contemplation from personal and universal views. They cover all subject matter including politics, racism, history, miseducation, sex, materialism, GOD, black struggle, drugs, generation Y, happiness, dreams, EVERTHING. They value coming from the soul like Tupac, Ace Hood and DMX along with many others.  They formed Mind Over Matter Muzik which started off with just the two of them and is expanding as a movement involving their nephew Shanari Scurlock AKA Caii Dream, childhood friend Kevin Woghiren AKA Oldskewl Kool, and Long beach native super producer/rapper Kopano Clay AKA  Knock Out. Barz' Influences are Tupac, Bone Thugs, Bob Marley, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, Earth Wind and fire, TrailBlazzor, T.I., Wale, Kendrick Lamar, Nipsey Hussle, J.Cole, DMX, Kool G Rap, Teddy Pendergrass, Maya Angelou, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Jay Z, Nas, Eminem, Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott, Marvin Gaye, Lil Wayne and Lil Boosie.

'Tis Pentacost!!!  Some said it was just a myth.  Others remained hopeful that the rumor was true.  Once the largest holiday in the Catholic church, marking the start of yet another 50 days, these of feasting and leisure, Pentacost was a huge deal in the early Church until the Romans outlawed it's observation.  Of all the early church documents saved by the faithful in those troubling times, none was so protected as the sheet music of 'TIS PENTACOST.   At last the Vatican opens it's archives and releases the hymn that was previously thought lost.  Enjoy, Oh Ye Faithful, Celebrate the Good Word of Pentacost. 
LYRICS:
FOR 10 LONG NIGHTS WE WERE WITHOUT OUR LORD
FOR 10 HOT DAYS WE SAT INSIDE, BORED
BUT NOW HE HATH CAME
SO DON'T LET HIM SMACK
INTO THE WINDOW PANE

'TIS PENTACOST!
'TIS PENTACOST!
COME HOLY SPIRIT, COME
'TIS PENTACOST!
'TIS PENTACOST!
DON OUR HEADS WITH FIERY TONGUE
AND SPREAD THE WORD. . .
THE GOOD WORD

I ROSE ON THE 10TH MORNING
PEERED OUT TO GREET THE DAWN
MY HEAD FELT ON FIRE
WHAT WAS GOING ON?
ON WINGS HE ARRIVES
LIKE THE CHRIST RODE AN ASS'TIS PENTACOST!
DON'T LET HIM SMACK THE GLASS

'TIS PENTACOST!
'TIS PENTACOST!


MERRY HELL is a band founded on the ever evolving Folk tradition – music made by the people and shared by the people. Though our hearts and souls are tuned to the songs which came before us, we bring you new words and music forged from our own experiences, from the lows and the loves of our lives. Our art is energy and our hope is unity. Our pleasure is to please: let the audience be the acid test and let the music speak for itself...

You’ll feel as though you’ve heard Merry Hell before. 
Perhaps not physically, on their joyous debut album Blink … And You Miss It, or at one of their bouncing live shows, but you’ve heard them somewhere in your soul, the core of your being, where the most visceral, secret feelings lay. 
You’ve heard them in that moment when simple pleasures become the most valuable; in the emotions stirred by family; when love is joyously requited; when someone you care about finds happiness. 
And within their second album, Head Full Of Magic, Shoes Full Of Rain, the band has surpassed the wildest expectations. Smoke has been bottled, magic dust channelled, the electrical cables of the studio fizzing and sparking as they convey this glorious sound. 
Unencumbered by pretence, Merry Hell chronicle the everyday, the minutiae of life which goes unnoticed by most. But far from being humdrum, these microscopic moments of humanity and social observation are coaxed into glorious bloom by the songwriting pen. 
And Merry Hell are certainly blessed with writing ability, whether it be in the kitchen-sink vignettes of Virginia Kettle (surely one of the most important English songwriters of this generation); the romance and bombast of John Kettle’s tours de force; the ethereal majesty of Bob Kettle’s flights of lyrical fancy or the catchy, homespun wisdom of keyboard player Lee Goulding’s contributions. 
“As a band, we’re undoubtedly blessed with quality songwriters,” says John Kettle. “And during 2012 we spent a lot of time at festivals, both playing as a band and because we really enjoy the whole experience, and we really immersed ourselves in the sounds and the stories, which is where a lot of this album has come from.” 
Add to all this the band’s nailed-down, rock steady rhythm section, supplied by bass player Andrew Dawson and drummer Andy Jones, and somehow, incredibly, Merry Hell manage to conjure up something which surpasses even the formidable sum of its parts. 
Theirs is the sound of a glorious coming-together of passion and fire, where each repeated listen strips away another layer. What you are listening to is the sound of seven bared souls, without guile, thoroughly honest. And what a sound it is. 
Capable simultaneously of writing songs that will have friends round a campfire singing along, and the sort of pop that deserves to dominate radio, Head Full Of Magic, Shoes Full Of Rain sees Merry Hell bringing in new instruments beyond the guitars and mandolin of their debut. Banjo, spinet and shuttle pipes are woven in, along with a stellar contribution from Dave Swarbrick, folk violin legend and long-time hero of the band. 
Geographically, Merry Hell hail from England’s working class north-west. Raised on the belief that an honest day’s work deserves an honest day’s pay, that you stand strong in unity with those around you, that those who fall are picked up, these souls flowered in communities where big society was a way of life ever before it became a political slogan. 
But Merry Hell can’t be placed on any map, because their music comes from among all of us, the places we live, whether they be green or grey, the ways we pass the day, the endless human interactions which shape our being. The sound of Merry Hell is in the crystal streams sparkling down the hillsides where, years ago, men traded their personal freedom to make the land open to us all. It is in the toil and sacrifice of the factory floor, the thrum of the traffic queue, the hush of the festival field at morning twilight … in all of the places where we allow dreams to take flight. 
Adds Virginia Kettle: “Hearing people’s stories is what inspires, and we’re taking those stories and giving them to other people. I think what we’ve done with this album is very life-affirming, very positive.” 
‘Let The Music Speak For Itself’, they write, in a stirring rallying cry which has delighted crowds of all sizes and ages and now forms part of this album. And speak it does, in a language that means something to us all.


Hasta el siglo XVIII en Europa sólo se pensaba que un cisne podía ser blanco, pero la llegada desde Australia de los cisnes negros cambió esa percepción. Se dice que millones de personas pueden creer ciegamente en algo y estar absolutamente equivocadas a la vez. “De la observación de un sinnúmero de cisnes blancos no se podrá inferir que todos los cisnes son blancos, sin embargo, ver un solo cisne negro será suficiente para refutar semejante conclusión.” David Hume (1711-1776), filósofo inglés. A partir de este concepto es que nace la teoría del cisne negro, del profesor Nassim Nicholas Taleb, que viene a decir que el cisne negro es un acontecimiento inesperado, imprevisible y de consecuencias monumentales. ¿Cómo reaccionar ante el cisne negro? ¿Cómo enfrentarlo? ¿Es posible conocerlo a fondo? Tal vez si supiéramos más sobre su anatomía...  4 individuos se reunen por coincidencia en Barcelona: Nacho Pop (Guitarra) - Simon Fire (Bajo) - Mostro (Bateria) - Jon K. (Voz)  Fusión sin duda es la palabra clave de este conjunto; desde Venezuela, pasando por Bolivia, Francia y (Catalunya) España, se integran estilos y sonidos muy distintos, entre ellos: el nu metal, el funk, el grunge, ritmos latinos de mano a mano con sonidos agresivos, amplificadores y distorsión... Una interesante mezcla de culturas e ideas que coinciden y se matizan en sonido, un sonido llamado "Black Swan Anatomy". Esto es simplemente el comienzo...



Until the eighteenth century in Europe it was believed that a swan could only be white, but the arrival of the black swan from Australia changed that perception. Millions of people can blindly believe in something and be absolutely wrong at once. "From the observation of a number of white swans one cannot infer that all swans are infact white, however, the sight of a single black swan is sufficient to refute such a conclusion." David Hume (1711-1776), English philosopher. From this concept "The Black Swan" theory is born by the hand of Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb, who stated that the black swan is an unexpected event, so unpredictable and with monumental consequences.
How do we react to the black swan? How can one cope with it? Is it possible to know it in depth? Maybe if we knew more about it´s anatomy ... 4 guys meet by chance in Barcelona: Nacho Pop (Guitar) - Simon (Bass) - Mostro (drums) - Jon K. (Voice) 
Fusion is undoubtedly the key word in this set, from Venezuela, Bolivia, and France, makes for a mix of different styles and sounds, including: nu metal, funk, grunge, and latin rhythms that go hand in hand with aggressive sounds, amplifiers and distortion ... An interesting mixture of cultures and ideas that overlap and shade into one sound, a sound called "Black Swan Anatomy". This is just the beginning ...
