Details

Fueled by a volatile blend of emotion, experience, imagination and intuition, Nico Rivers has been haunting stages across the USA since his youth. His unique, one-man band performances are filled with a raw passion that captivates audiences of all sorts. Nico's sound blurs the lines between the singer/songwriter, indie rock and folk genres.

Ryan Fitzsimmons has steadily built a reputation as one of the Northeast's most compelling songwriters.

Over the past 10 years Ryan has woven his way throughout New England, creating a strong presence in a number of the local music scenes. While living in Providence RI, the Providence Phoenix awarded him the title of Best Male Vocalist. Ryan was also the founder of the AS220 Sunday Songwriters Series which continues to this day. Upon relocating to the Boston area Ryan has become a fixture in the Americana scene with regular appearances at venerable Cambridge venues such as Club Passim, the Lizard Lounge and Toad. This all has proved to be fertile ground for his latest release "Cold Sky", produced by David "Goody" Goodrich (Chris Smither, Peter Mulvey). He is now poised to let the rest of the country in on a secret his loyal New England following has know for quite sometime; that Ryan Fitzsimmons shows are a powerhouse event, compelling, and genre defying as his songwriting.

Carlin Tripp is an American songwriter drawing from a life spent roaming this great country, seeking out rare experiences and making new friends along the way. His songs reflect on love lost, love found and the trials and joys we all face in our day to day existence. We are all searching for an answer in our own unique way and it seems Carlin's music longs to provide us with a brief insight to the inner workings of the human spirit.

Ryan and his band entered the Signature Sounds studio for a series of sessions, yielding fantastic results. With an outpouring of support from his fan base via a kickstarter campaign, "Cold Sky" has just been released. Showcasing all sides of his talent, from the catchy bluegrass tinged hook of "I Don't Want to Wait", to the dark electrically-bent melancholy of "Cigarettes", this album is a journey. It takes us through dark shadows of grief and regret, to the simple resolve that there is nothing better than creating music in a room with your friends. This record is a documentation, recorded mostly live, of what Ryan's been doing on stage for years; pouring every ounce of his being into each note. The listener can't help but to buckle in and enjoy the ride!
