Wild-Wood formed in the summer of 2005, the daydream realized of singer-songwriter Tony Lechner. The Northampton, MA band owes its sultry sound to Lechner’s talented songwriting and the belief of its members in the pure and simple beauty of the human voice accompanied by acoustic wooden instruments. With foundations in folk, bluegrass, and old-fashioned rock and roll, the group melds sweet vocal harmonies with the sounds of fiddle, upright bass, mandolin, drums, guitar, and piano to create a sound that appeals to people of all ages and musical tastes.

The Vagabond Soles, an American band offering a pure hybrid of Rock and Blues, formed out of Nashville, TN in November, 2007 when Wes Edmonds introduced long time friend Domenic Monaco to Brandon Harvey while at Sound Stage Studios.
This initial meeting was meant to revolve around unrelated session work but the chemistry between these three men was quickly evident and during a friendly jam out after work, the trio recorded that very day, their first two songs: " One Horse, One Burrow " and " Last Chance" - A month later they gathered together to pick a name for their new band and with the help of Blackbird Studio Engineer John Netti, recorded their debut EP "Vagabond Soles".
Regretfully, Wes Edmonds parted with the band soon after and with the help of Tracey Korby, Brandon Harvey and Domenic Monaco were introduced to new bassist Chris Lohr.
This new trio carried on to catch the attention of On-Air radio personalities " Ron & Fez " and "Billy Block" granting them live appearances on both "Sirius/XM Satellite Radio" and " The Billy Block Show" of 103WKDF, playing at venues such as "Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge " and " The Tin Roof " in Nashville.
Newest member Eric Safka, a long time friend of Domenic Monaco brings new talent to the bands keys and most recently The Vagabond Soles were invited by "Ron and Fez " to New York City to play in the famous " Fishbowl" of Sirius/Xm Studios where they recorded their latest album soon to be released.

Writing and performing jazz with Grammy Nominee Hui Cox in Manhattan; studying classical operatics, classical Indian, and improvisational jazz vocals; dropping everything to live at a silent meditation retreat center: these are experiences that have formed Heather Maloney; her voice, her sound, her song.
With the fall release of her debut album Cozy Razor's Edge, she is quickly becoming known for her powerhouse performances, her highly original songwriting, her memorable melodies, her expressive vocals and evocative lyricism. Cozy Razor's Edge is a compellingly diverse collection of songs, each one alive, inspired and individual.
From the poppy playfulness of Cozy Razor's Edge, to the poetic intricacy of Night-Weaver, this album will take you through the depths of the human experience. Maloney describes this record as her "heartfelt effort to integrate music and awareness, creativity and presence; the intention to dance along the line between sound and silence." It's that Cozy Razor's Edge!
