AT/DT

Originally initiated as a side project, AT/DT has existed since 2001 when brothers Andrew Thomas (guitar) and David Thomas (drums) recruited Ben Jones (vocals) and Erik Pedersen (bass) to help form a proposed "mock rock" group. The band recorded an EP, Rock 4 The People, released in 2002, and that same year shot an appearance in the Siege Perilous Films independent feature-length movie revisions.
Following a year-long hiatus, the band reformed in 2004 and began to write and record new material. Shortly thereafter, however, Pedersen left AT/DT to attend violin-making school (seriously). The three remaining members continued working and in 2005 extended an invitation to an old friend, DJ Sandau, to join up as bassist. From there AT/DT began playing shows regularly throughout the Twin Cities area.

Ricky Lynn Gregg

The release of Ricky Lynn Gregg’s third solo country album,
“Careful What You Wish For” (RMG Records, 2001), solidifies Gregg as a mainstay artist in country music. As well known for 
his edgy brand of country as for his scores of devoted fans, 
Gregg refines his talent on this 10-song disc, and says he is 
more proud of this project than any of his previous albums.

Musically diverse, “Careful What You Wish For” is a clear reflection of a man known for his traditional country roots, his rockin country music, and his rangy vocals. This album truly offers something for every-one.

Uncle Kracker

Without apparently intending to do so, Uncle Kracker has made a habit out of breaking stereotypes. He served as deejay in Kid Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker band, an unlikely place for a mellow, low-key family man. Kid Rock helped him break out into his own solo music career, out of which he charted a new course with a country and Motown-influenced pop-style debut album that earned double-platinum sales. Uncle Kracker was born Matthew Shafer in Mount Clemens, Michigan, on the outskirts of Detroit. His father, Sunny, owned a local Amoco gas station in which Shafer worked off and on until he was 21 years old. As he was growing up, his father listened to country and Motown music, and although Shafer hated it at the time, their influence showed up later in his own music.
