Farmer Jason: When internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Jason Ringenberg (of Jason and the Scorchers) created his children’s music character FARMER JASON in 2003, he had no idea he was launching what would prove to be the most commercially successful creation of his storied career.  Farmer Jason has a new DVD, It’s a . . . Farmer Jason! and is currently touring in support of it.  www.farmerjason.com

 

Chris Schutz and the Tourists: Philly based rock band with blues influences hitting the road for a weeklong tour in August.  Schutz’s songs are about everyday people and the trials and tribulations of his own collection of strange days, and The Tourists vary from just Chris to a six-piece band. www.chrisschutz.com

 

Greg Foresman: Kodiak.  On his latest album, Kodiak, Greg Foresman has delivered songs about searching, getting close to, and sometimes finding the answers to life’s toughest questions.  And in his hometown of Nashville, Foresman is known as a guitar virtuoso.  His current gig is as Martina McBride’s touring guitarist, and he is also a session ace that is very much in demand in a city littered with players www.gregforesman.com

 

The Iveys: s/t Growing up in West Texas, The Iveys were surrounded by two things—family and music.  Along with a melodic pop style and just a bit of twang to show their Texas roots, the band’s self-titled debut album is a solid collection of songs with heartfelt lyrics that transcend the trio’s youth—and their lush harmonies will remind you of other sibling acts like Hanson and The Lovell Sisters.  The Iveys will also be Fuse TV’s unsigned artist of the month in July and Fuse will be featuring the video on its on-demand programming.  www.theiveysmusic.com

 

Ian McGlynn: Summer of Ian. Ian McGlynn’s The Summer of Ian digital single campaign continues today with the release of the song, “I Took an Oath.”  The single is a brief and bouncy soundtrack to the wide-eyed, innocent love of 9-year-old kids meeting—and falling in (something resembling) love—where their backyards touch.  www.ianmcglynn.com

 

Buskin & Batteau: Red Shoes and Golden Hearts.  With the release of their long-awaited new album, David Buskin and Robin Batteau demonstrate that despite their thirteen-year hiatus, they have not lost the ability to mine what the Washington Post calls their "irresistible amalgam of melodic, sensual pop, folkie grit and killer wit." for fresh musical gems.  www.buskinandbatteau.com

 

Jon Robert: Meant To BeBoston-based singer/songwriter has been delivering his own brand of infectious pop/rock with timeless melodies, emotive vocals and sincere passion from Maine to California over the last few years.   www.myspace.com/jonroberttour
