We have another exciting week planned with some newly added artists.
7pm: We have the amazingly talented singer/songwriter Peter Roessler. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Peter honed his musicianship performing along the West Coast with various bands and artists. In addition to performing, he produced radio commercials for 95.5 KLOS in Los Angeles and wrote music for television.
In the summer of 2008 Peter relocated to New York City. He collaborated with Singer/Songwriter Dion Roy and together they wrote and produced “The Nearest Light EP” which debuted at #8 on the ITunes singer/songwriter charts. Since then, their music has appeared on MTV, VH-1, Comedy Central and other television channels. They are continuously touring and performing around the country. Peter also finds time to write, produce and perform with other musicians and artists in the New York and Los Angeles area.

8pm will bring the first reggae group to Sessions Wednesdays with a group called The Essentials. Singer/songwriters Michel Aubertin and Phil Grajko formed The Essentials to create innovative yet classically sounding reggae music. With conscious lyrics and unforgettable melodies, The Essentials are making a name for themselves in the contemporary reggae, blues and pop scene.
At 9pm,
While most suburban high school students were spending their weekends playing video games or attending the occasional dull house party, southern Connecticut resident Matt Talmage was busy touring the northeast with his band in a 1989 Ford conversion van. Three years, two records and roughly two hundred shows later, the closely knit group decided to go their separate ways and pursue other endeavors. Undeterred, Talmage saw the split as an opportunity to explore a more intimate sonic direction – something he had always wished to accomplish, but had avoided due to stylistic differences among the rest of his band mates. After close to a year of writing and creating, Talmage was ready to make a record.
Destinations is a delicate mix of pop, acoustic rock, and folk blended together to create a set of songs that is both beautifully melodic and expressively raw. Recine consciously avoided over-producing the record, using mostly first-take vocals and often unpolished instrumental tones. This created an album full of songs that sound as though Talmage is playing right in the living room of the listener. For those who enjoy dynamic, emotional pop music or stripped-down folksy acoustic tunes Destinations is a perfect addition to any iTunes library.
10pm We are pumped to have national touring singer/songwriter Carley Tanchon. "Anyone listening to Carley Tanchon's debut CD Peridot for the first time could be forgiven for thinking it's the work of a much older, more seasoned musician. Her sophisticated songwriting has a strong sense of structure but it's full of off-center touches that make the songs distinctive. And there's an expansiveness and reflective depth to her vocals on tunes like the torchy, experienced "Don't Chill This Flame" or the intricate jazz-blues strut of "Waiting" that belies her 22 years. She moves easily from country-tinged rocker "Image of a Man," which features the sort of complex, ambivalent lyrics you rarely find in such tunes to pensive, acoustic-flavored songs like "Fool's Gold" and the folksy "Derailing Home"." -Cleveland Scene Magazine
11pm brings us New York rocker and Mr. Potato Head enthusiast, Jaims Mullaly with his group J.Aims and The Fever. With guitarist, Dave Tucker on lead and Paul Amorese backing on cajon, Jaims and the Fever will take you through a journey of the rock genre in the style of Radiohead meets Arcade Fire.
