Anywheresville : A Profile Of The Artists

IK BEN - Nashville, TN. Originally from San Diego, California. Their eclectic blend of Neil Young folk,

Big Star pop, and Glimmer Twins rocking swagger is evident on the new album Ocean Wayfare.

The best kept secret in rock and roll.

KATIE KETCHUM - Santa Rosa, CA. Katie has been playing, writing, recording and teaching music

for over the past 25 years. "Let's Party" is pure Katie Ketchum. In the spirit of Jerry Lee Lewis, this song

illuminates her early rock and roll influences.

DYLAN'S DHARMA - Chico, CA. Dylan Seid has been a fixture in the indie rock scene of Chico for

many years now. Formerly a solo artist, Dylan has combined efforts with the best talent in town to

form Dylan's Dharma. The band utilizes a rock/pop backdrop but are also proficient in writing reggae

tunes like "Eyes of Love" as well.

TIM ELLISON - San Diego, CA. Tim fronted the legendary San Diego garage band The Nephews for

nearly two decades. Tim has gifted us with a pop song for the new season titled "Every Green Knoll".

RIC - Windsor, CA. He is known as the keyboard man in a rocking-style band(not just one). Ric has

been writing his keyboard-based rock/pop songs for over 20 years, with over 15 solo albums to date.

He has played with a number of bands including Resin, Freeloaders, The Nephews and Hot L Willy.

TONY ACQUARELLI - Pacifica, CA. Tony is the co-leader and guitarist of Barefoot Hockey Goalie,

the San Diego-based rock opera band. Tony penned "I Don't Want To Grow Up" especially for the

compilation. He plays all the instuments himself on the punky anthem.

ANTHONY DAVIS - Colorado Springs, CO. Born and raised in Colorado, Anthony Davis has been

writing, playing and performing his rock/pop/blues mix for many years. Recently, he found a niche

in the local experimental music scene; playing guitar in noise/punk groups Acetone,

Conflict Of Interest and Exacta Box. "Beautiful Love" indicates a more introspective side of the artist.

RED SHIRT FRESHMAN - San Francisco, CA. This was one of the many projects crafted by Kevin

Chanel(Sugartwin Reverb, Fern Trio,The Front, Lemon-Limes). "Hooks Are Required" is one

of the two instrumental works on the compilation and features a Pell Mell-esque explorational jam.

PAPA LEGBO - Cookeville, TN. Originally from Poway, California. They were a fixture in the

blues/jam community of North County in San Diego. "Sugar Coated Mango" was recorded by the

band years ago, yet still sounds alive. Looking forward to new works in the future.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST - Colorado Springs, CO. Formed in late 2010, this punk/noise/groove trio

is currently working on their debut recording for Anonymous Collective. Features former members of

Acetone, Davy Jones Locker and Emergency Pull-Out. "Pyramid Scheme" just happened one day.

BE KIND REWIND - Colorado Springs, CO. The youth spokesman for this compilation is Tim Deemie.

Tim has written a unique psychedelic-tinged tune in "Robotoman". He also plays bass in COI.

EL ARCHER - Los Angeles, CA. Joel Arquillos also plays under the name Jorrell and has released 5 solo

albums to date on various labels. After fronting the punk spaz group Patch, he got bummed out

at a cafe and started writing acoustic-based songs influenced by his Jersey roots, Nick Drake,

and booze. "Closer" does not disappoint in this realm.

GRENO - Colorado Springs, CO. This multi-instrumentalist is the catalyst behind the entire project.

He owns and operates his own studio where he produces acts like Lemon-Limes, Longshot Willy,

8 Songs : 30 Minutes, Anthony Davis, Junebug and others. "Mr Black And White" is a tribute

to 2 of his heros, Jack and Jack.

SKINNY MULLIGAN EXPERIENCE - Orlando, OK; Seattle, WA; San Diego, CA; .

This regionally challenged super-group recorded their first session in  November 2010.

It produced "Stairstep To Abandon", which is a cover of Poway's own Outrage.

The band continues to rock basement style and thrives on playing interesting cover songs.
