The HUTCHISON EFFECT - Heart-pounding grooves and soulful attacks facilitate a truly entertaining experience that's intense and crazed, yet melodic and smooth at the same time. Dedicated to the continuing creation of new, original music worthy of production, as well as the downfall of dubstep, The Hutchison Effect implores you to listen to them, so that they will feel good about themselves. http://www.facebook.com/thehutcheffect

MATTHEW MEI & YOU BRIGHT MINDS - Drawing from childhood exposure to folk, gospel and church music along with later preferences for blues, alternative and jazz, Matthew Mei brandishes a charismatic blend of blues, rock, folk and hip hop. Having traveled the world as the son of a preacher man, his initial introduction to the world of music was his dad's old records, but it was his struggles in life and his soulful growth that fueled his desire to write emotional and heartfelt songs that channel the highs and lows of human experience. http://www.matthewmei.com

JOYCE ISLAND - Lisa Joyce's stripped down approach has its roots in her love of beat poetry, mod music & fashion, old school country crooners, kick-ass rhythm & blues, psychedelic rock, and all things East Van! Mixed with her love of vintage guitars, red wine, kitty cats, Morocco, India & pretty dresses, her style approaches an emotionally charged, uniquely-vibed style that she can call her own. http://www.joyceisland.ca

CHAMPAGNE REPUBLIC transcends genres, combining influences from R&B, soul, rock, pop, funk and reggae to create a unique sound that captures audiences of all musical tastes. With high energy out-of-your-seat grooves that are electric, funky, melodic and non-stop, Champagne Republic is set to make dance floors groove in the Vancouver area and beyond! http://www.reverbnation.com/champagnerepublic
