Cecilia Lauren and
the Ocoee River Band
Atkins and Davidson
Jess Atkins and Billy Davidson met 5 years ago in the
Keys; Jess coming down from Boseman, Montana was
looking for new gigs and Billy, already established in
the Keys, helped him out and they became immediate
friends and fans of each other’s music. This past year
they formed the Atkins and Davidson Band, performing mostly original material from their solo albums
every Sunday at sunset at Sundowners. The line-up for
the Atkins and Davidson Band is: Jess Atkins: guitar,
vocals, keyboards, dobro; Billy Davidson: guitar, vocals,
keyboards, mandolin; Cliff Stutts: bass, Rob Smith:
drums, vocals.
In late 2008, The Ocoee
River Band joined forces
with Award Winning Vocalist
Cecilia Lauren determined to
find a sound all their own. The combination of musical
styles and backgrounds produced a sound that has been
described as everything from country and country rock
to the band’s favorite moniker – “Redneck Rock.” Cecilia
and the boys have shared the stage with top Nashville
talent such as Lady Antebellum, Bucky Covington,
Whitney Duncan, David Nail, Kate and Kasey, Eli Young
Band, Steve Holy and Dean Brody. Cecilia, along with
members of the band, are busy promoting their CD,
“Livin’ Paycheck To Paycheck.” A music video based on
their single, “Country Girls Do It Better” has garnered
almost 500,000 hits on YouTube.

Songwriter David Feder hasbeen captivating audiences
worldwide with his playfully
intricate music for over 30
years. For the last 34 years Feder has lived in the Florida
Keys, a Mecca for artists of all mediums. The diversity
of culture in the islands is embraced in all of Feder’s
recordings. David’s first album, “Waiting for Sara,” is soft,
romantic Latin Jazz while “The Reason Why” is pure funk
and blues. “Black Emerald” is exciting Hillbilly Flamenco
and “Saranade” overflows with sensual, all original,
instrumental songs. In 1995, Feder signed a distribution
deal with Lyra Recordings, boosting performances in the
USA and abroad. His music is currently heard on radio, TV
and in films worldwide.
Pain, suffering, and loss…
three elements baked deeply
into the fabric of love, or rather,
a true love lost. These are the
things of which the greatest
artists of all time have feasted in through their uniquely
experienced and engineered pores, and out to the world
après time served within the walls of the artist’s hearts
and minds. Such are the autobiographical, painstaking roads traveled by Davin McCoy’s eloquently crafted,
individually wrapped, soulful pieces of art, his songs, tied
together so ever tightly by a grief stricken fueled common
thread, by cigarette stained fingers, avec a not-yetfinished quarter left high ball. A personal compilation of
emotions wrapped with and by a heart-wrenching bow
known as McCoy’s sophomore effort “Whiskey Sexy.”

in any musical category; she
has created her own blend
and genre of crisp instrumentation and spot-on lyrics
that leaves nothing for your imagination. If you have
ever been a woman scorned or a child mistreated, this

drone throughout Melody’s singing with a nice mixture
of rockin’ angst. But that angst is shared with a childlike
susceptibility to forgiveness and gratitude of experience
gained through a road of hardships. Melody Guy is on a
fast track to success and her music shines like a light in
a dark room.

me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity
for me - like food or water.
Ray Charles
For me, singing sad songs often has a way of
healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open,
into the light, out of the darkness.
Reba McEntire
If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
William Shakespeare
Music can change the world
because it can change people.
Bono
Without music to decorate it, time is just
a bunch of boring production deadlines
or dates by which bills must be paid.
Frank Zappa
Without music, life would be a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Music should strike fire from the heart of man,
and bring tears from the eyes of woman.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Where words fail, music speaks.
Hans Christian Anderson

Music expresses that which cannot be said
and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
