Native Californian Brian Ray's exceptional career began with a transistor radio, an ice cream bucket and a vivid imagination. Co-writer of Smokey Robinson's "One Heartbeat" and admired for his energetic stage presence and unparalleled guitar playing as a key member of Paul McCartney's current band, Brian is irrefutably ranked among today's top musicians. His latest project, his first solo album entitled "Mondo Magneto" is here. He will release it through his own label Whooray Records. This record underscores his talents as an award-winning songwriter, singer, producer and renowned guitarist. Brian's first performances were in front of his peers - at show and tell - setting his own lyrics to the tune of old folk songs. By age 9, he retired his makeshift ice cream bucket drum kit and picked up a guitar. He channeled the influences of legends such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and all the other greats and by age 13, was a serious songwriter. Before Brian graduated high school his music career was well under way. Underscoring his talent, Brian cemented his position as one of the top contemporary guitarists in the world today when he began touring with Paul McCartney in 2002. Hailed as "Paul's best band since the Beatles" playing with McCartney is literally a dream come true for Brian. He has appeared on several DVD's and TV Specials including two Super Bowl appearances, and participated in such meaningful collaborations as the Nelson Mandela's 46664 project.

Michael Charles is rock / blues / jam band from the United States of America. Born In Tatura, Victoria, Australia, Michael Charles was the second oft wo children and the only son born to Mary and Salvatore "Sam". Michael's father, Sam, was born and raised in Sicily, Italy. Being the oldest child, he took charge and cared for his younger siblings as the war tore his family apart. At the end of the war he immigrated to Australia, met and wedded Mary, and made his living as a fruit wholesaler. Sam's childhood experiences lent to some invaluable lessons in life. Putting this together with his keen sense for business, and his son Michael would become a recipient of his Father's vast array of knowledge and common sense. Some of this business sense Michael would pick up while laboring in the tomato fields and some of it would be absorbed while he sat diligently across from his Dad's desk watching and listening to what money goes into what stack and why. Michael later put this good advice and teaching into practice when he opened his own mechanic shop and developed his record label and distribution company.

Ivo Robic ostavio je neizbrisiv trag u hrvatskoj zabavnoj glazbi i pop-kulturi druge polovine 20. stoljeca, ostvario nenadmasen diskografski opus i senzacionalnu medjunarodnu karijeru. Moze se mirne duse reci kako je povijest Ive Robica starija od povijesti hrvatske zabavne glazbe, a seze u davnu 1943. godinu, kada nastupa u zagrebackom baru Grill Room i pocinje "uzivo" pjevati na radiju. Robic je veteran svih nasih festivala, od prvog Zagrebackog festivala 1953. godine, pa sve do Krapinskog festivala 1998. godine, te priznati skladatelj i danas popularnih pjesama, koje predstavljaju antologijske stranice hrvatske zabavnoglazbene pjesmarice ("Samo jednom se ljubi", "Srce laku noc", "Muzikasi", "Moje plavo more" i dr.). Iako je njegov pjevacki fah ponajprije slagerski, upravo je Robic snimio prvu rock'n'roll plocu na ovim prostorima (1956.). Prva nasa samostalna, pjevana long-play ploca takodjer pripada Robicu (1956.).

Anders Bodin comes from Gothenburg, Sweden. He has been rocking on since he was a little child. He grew up in the middle of Sweden and started to write his own songs at the age of ten. He's been playing in different bands during the years and been playing as a street-musician for six, seven years. He has always been writing songs and whenever he finds out a new guitar-riff or a nice songmelodi he starts to work on it. With his back-catalogue of songs he had a lot of tracks to choose from when it was time to go into the studio to record his first studio album. In fact it was his older brother Magnus Bodin, who released his first soloalbum "Street level friends" last year, that inspired Anders to make his own solo album. The name of the album is "Hall of flames" and the titletrack is about the firemen that is working on the firestation "Hall of flames" in Gothenburg. The lyrics are a little bit ironic. The "Hall of flames" is also an ambulance-station and Anders is working there as a nurse / paramedic. Therefore he is singing and making fun of his mates at the station. Influences: Status Quo, Neil Young, Atomic Swing, Whitesnake, Rod Stewart, Faces, Belle and Sebastian, Soundtrack Of Our Lives and many more. For more info visit: www.andersbodin.net . (...JG 155).
