ARTIST INFO
Captain SIB are a modern rock band with a psychedelic twist.
Together for ten years, the SIB have worked hard on their production and musical writings, always keeping their sound fresh with the SIB’s unique blend of many genres. With a vast collection of original music from the last ten years, the SIB never stop recording new material.

In what direction will we see the SIB take next?
“2010 hopes to be the year we can put down the tea for long enough to get this stuff moving”

Captain SIB have been featured on local radio and many internet radio shows, most recently on AIIRADIO.

“With Captain SIB, its not always about the music. There’s always something new happening on the wall, be it with our SIBtv projects, or with our original artwork, we try and give the fans a little more than studio updates.”

So there you have it, a brief insight into Captain SIB, though, there is only one way of gaining a true insight into the magical tea-pot that is Captain SIB.

BAND INFO
Formed in Seattle in 2004, Central Services is comprised of Kevin Emerson on vocals and (stand up) drums, Jeff Blancato on lead guitar and Eric Goetz on keyboards. After releasing an EP and LP in 2005-2006, the band created their kids’ music alter ego, The Board of Education, releasing an LP in late 2008. They are joined by guitarist Jon Goff, and internationally-touring singer-songwriter Andrea Wittgens.

Central Services has received acclaim around Seattle for their “boundary breaking” sound (Three Imaginary Girls AstroPop, Sept ’06). The band has been praised for their acoustic singer-songwriter side, their indie-pop influence, and their retro rock sound. While alternative rock radio station 107.7 The End consistently played the band’s edgier songs, stations like 103.7 The Mountain in Seattle, or Music For Listeners in San Antonio, emphasized the band’s acoustic side. CMJ’s station of the year, KEXP 90.3, in Seattle, championed the band’s melodic indie-pop songs, while also giving airplay to 7 of the 10 tracks on their 2006 release. The LP charted nationally on the CMJ charts for two months, was featured on NPR’s Open Mic at All Songs Considered, and led to the band’s first invitation to Bumbershoot in 2007.

In 2007, Emerson, a former elementary school science teacher turned children’s novelist, toyed around with a few songs written for kids and showed them to the band. With song topics like a lonely tomato, the dangers of commas and the wonders of tin foil, it was immediately obvious how fun it would be to make a unique kids record that harkened back to childhood favorites like Schoolhouse Rock. 2008′s *Central Services Presents… The Board of Education* has received critical acclaim in every major Seattle press outlet, on kids’ music blogs around the country, appeared in a segment with Melissa Block on All Things Considered, and earned the band a second appearance at Bumbershoot in 2009. The band is currently gearing up for a second Central Services record, while working to bring the Board of Education to a national audience.

HOMETOWN
Philadelphia

ARTIST INFO
Philly Cuzz currently has one of the top requested doo wop songs on radio. His original “One Summer Night” written in 2004 (not a remake of the same name oldie) is played in rotation on Sirius XM’s Cool Bobby B Show – (read comments via Philly Cuzz/ You Tube.) His self produced beach albums have been a staple at the South Jersey shore since 2000, often featured on gift shops counters, as well as, regional Borders and Barnes and Noble stores. His On The Way To Cape May with Philly Cuzz and The Shoobies CD actually made the front page story of the Philadelphia Sunday Inquirer.

Cuzz writes “for three generations cruising to the shore in a family car,” and as a result has a following that is uniquely multigenerational. Featured at the Las Vegas Doo Wop Convention, one fan remarked, “Philly Cuzz makes music that doo wop grandparents and the grandkids can bond with.” The Pentagon’s radio station actually featured in rotation his 9/11 song “We Are Americans”. And when you think of Philadelphia, you might think of cheese steaks. Cuzz wrote the jingle for the top cheese steak joint is South Philly – Geno’s Steaks. He also played keyboards for the vintage doo wop group The Tymes and was the last piano player to peform at Atlantic City’s legendary 500 Club. His piano was lost in the club’s fire.

Presently, the composer-singer is finishing a radio play musical titled Philly Cuzz and The Pirates of Doo Wop Lagoon – A Tale Of The Jersey Devil. The project includes original film music for drama and narration along with original songs and a few cover tunes. Some Doo Wop online magazines are calling a new song from the show – “Then They Wonder Why” – the most exciting doo wop song since The Capri’s “Morse Code Of Love.”
