Matt Stansberry
Over the past few years Matt has been ambitiously touring and getting his music in front of eager ears. In 2008, Matt and his band toured Japan for sold out crowds in Tokyo, Hitachi and Kyoto. Prior to the Japan tour, Matt's been playing across the U.S. in a wide variety of venues including the King King Hollywood (Hollywood, CA), the legendary South by Southwest Music Festival (Austin, TX), DFest - Oklahoma's premier music festival (Tulsa, OK), Hard Rock Cafe (Dallas, TX) and numerous concerts and showcases across the Midwest, which includes Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri.
 
After an interesting ride through the music industry Matt signed with Authentik Arists to bring his visions as a solo artist to life. With the release of Matt's first solo CD, a six song EP entitled Self Portrait (October 2009 release), Matt brings you a whole new dimension of his song-writing and musicianship.

Prior to hitting the studio Matt sat down for pre-production with his friend and national recording artist, Graham Colton, to work through song selection and arrangements. Graham became executive producer and co-wrote two songs with Matt ("You Could Have It All" and "Pull Yourself Together"). Self Portrait EP was produced by Jarod Evans (Jami Smith, Ty England, The Umbrellas) at Blackwatch Studios in Norman, OK and includes performances by Will Hunt (Ryan Cabrera, Nick Lachey and Amy Lee of Evanescence) on drums along with some of the finest musicians in Oklahoma, including Dan Walker on Hammond B3 organ, Brine Webb on bass and Grant Stevens on trumpet. The EP was mixed by Shane Wilson (Switchfoot, Third Day, Mercy Me) and mastered by Mike Fossenkemper (Multiple Platinum, Gold and Grammy nominations).

Self Portrait represents a matured body of work that is reflective, intimate and transparent. The songs are organically driven by well-written, acoustic-based songs with pop sensibility and catchy lyrics. Matt feels right at home with these new songs and has gone back to his roots with an acoustic guitar and a good song. See Matt on tour and purchase the new EP to see why this unique artist is turning heads. Visit Matt's website to purchase the new EP and more: www.mattstansberry.com

Brantley Cowan
Music has never been a stranger to Oklahoma native Brantley Cowan. As a son of a long time radio disc jockey and music producer, Cowan was immersed in music from a very young age. Coming from the roots of Southern Oklahoma, in a time where his grandfather would sing old hymns and spend late nights watching Austin City Limits, Cowan had almost no choice but a life of song. He is versed not only vocally but on numerous instruments from Saxophone and Concert Bassoon to Guitar.

As lead vocalist and guitar player for Midwestern success ‘Modern Rock Diaries’, he has rapidly become known as one of Oklahoma’s best new upcoming acts. Recently, he has been featured at the legendary SXSW in Austin, Texas as well as played many of the top venues throughout central USA. His wide range of influence comes from the sounds of many Euro / Brit Rock acts as well as many piano driven indie rock acts. He has found an innate way to combine this with his diverse local roots. His unique style and ability to so much passion into his singer / songwriter ambient style has made him so successful and has made people relate so well to his music. This success only looks brighter in 2009 and beyond with his release of his new EP and upcoming tour stops.
