Nathan Angelo

With a shuffling, polished, highly-melodic, groove-based, modern pop/rock sound, Atlanta-based singer/songwriter Nathan Angelo is quickly making his mark on the regional music scene. The shaggy-haired pianist and vocalist makes his way to Charleston for a set in the music room at Johnson's Pub behind his new 13-song collection Through Playing Me (Na Records). With so many piano-led tunes, much of the album falls in well alongside the sophisticated tunefulness of Ben Folds, The Fray, peppier Randy Newman stuff, and even U2's slower-rolling material with The Edge on keys.

Brenn

Nashville, Tennessee band Brenn makes music that is described as ultra-lush melodic rock, and after listening to their tracks it’s apparent that their tunes fit the bill. They were once a five member band, but slimmed it down to four and the synergy they have as a group is nothing short of amazing. Their resulting sound is ambient and dreamy (thanks to some great work on the synth), yet still has the right amount of energy and drive to keep you from falling asleep. Brenn has a short album on the way that will certainly catapult them further into the public consciousness and take the band to the next level. Stay tuned.

PW Gopal

P.W. Gopal produces Christian rock melodies. They have an inspirational jet stream flowing through the emotive vocal currents and a pop/rock ambience in the music compositions. P.W.’s rich vocal timbres have warmth in their caresses with a likeness to Edwin McCain and Dean Taylor, drizzled by specks of country tones in the lap steel and rootsy bluegrass shakers and rattles trailing beside rock rhythms of the acoustic guitar strums and swigs of drum swells. The songs have a sage-like quality, conveying tales about everyday struggles tooling an uplifting spring in the vocal deliverance. P.W.’s voice projects pain and suffering and a spirit that rises above the torment.
