July 17: Tim Brantley

Tim Brantley grew up in Georgia playing the piano and (later) guitar and taking in the lyrics of David Gray, Elton John, Hall & Oates, Wilco, Fleetwood Mac, and Dolly Parton (and Carole King if his mom was around). He didn't take music seriously until his early 20's when he started playing in coffee shops & bars every chance he could. His popularity grew in Atlanta, and after winning the city's Battle of the Bands competition, he signed with Blackledge Records (Ben Folds Five, Fuel). He's now on tour promoting his first album, Goldtop Heights. The songs have a modern feel while still harkening back to the 70's music that is "embedded in his musical DNA."
 
August 14: Courtney Jaye

Courtney Jaye listened to the Beatles from her high chair, went to see Springsteen’s Born in the USA tour at age six, and covered Bob Dylan and Neil Young as a teenager. She followed the Grateful Dead across the USA, picked up bluegrass in Flagstaff, AZ, found her love of “tiki” music in Hawaii, and bounced between America’s most notorious music cities (Athens, L.A., Austin, and Nashville), all in search of honing her musical skills and finding a sound of her own. The result, Queen of Sabotage, is a completely unique fusion of country, jazz, and western swing with an exotic mix of Tropicalia sounds. Listen for her sweet voice and ingratiating melodies to fill the playlist.
