Katie Garibaldi:
With seven albums released to date and an endorsement with Breedlove Stringed Instruments, who worked with her to build a custom Master Class guitar, Katie Garibaldi has proven to be an artist with staying power. Based in the golden city of San Francisco, this determined and enthusiastic singer/songwriter/guitarist is an avid national touring performer who has acquired a devoted fan base, due in large part to her engaging live shows, and personal connection to her listeners through her music. Katie has a characteristic musical style wherein her country-tinged folk-rock gives her a distinct and soulful sound—Americana with sparkling memorable melodies. Her latest album, Follow Your Heart, includes a notable appearance of performances by the Magik*Magik Orchestra.
Katie Garibaldi was named Emerging Artist Of The Year from the Indie Music Channel in 2015. Guitar Player magazine called her “a gifted songwriter with a gorgeous voice.” Katie's forthcoming EP, Rooted Clarity, a return to her folk-driven roots, which she recorded in a Nashville studio that's seen the likes of country greats like Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, and George Jones, and features a mix of classical and country string players, is due out Spring 2016.

Rob Hotchkiss:
Rob won a Grammy Award (Best Rock Song) for “Drops of Jupiter”, and was the musical force behind hits such as “Meet Virginia”, “Free”, “I Am”, and “Get to Me”. Rob founded the band Train, and his songwriting helped to create their multi-platinum success, but, due to musical differences, he left after their third album. After leaving Train, Rob recorded and produced his solo album, Midnight Ghost, which received tremendous critical acclaim. Rob’s classic sound, with meaningful lyrics, beautiful melodies, and lush harmonies, has been likened to The Beatles, Neil Young, and more current artists like Ed Sheeran.
After several years of retirement from music, Rob moved back to the Bay Area to work with Tom Luce (of LUCE) and Charlie Colin (former member of Train) on a project they called Painbirds. This culminated with an eponymous EP released in June of 2015. Rob began a solo career in late 2015. He is writing songs and performing to discerning audiences throughout the West Coast.
