ACT OF CONGRESS hails from Birmingham, Alabama. The band’s organic sound (think Nickel Creek meets the Beatles) is rapidly gathering attention throughout the country. The band just released their debut CD Declaration last year. In two short years, the band has been recognized by the likes of Paste Online, SXSW, Disney, and Billboard (chosen from over 2000 submissions to compete and ultimately win the 2008 Disc Makers IMWS Award.) Check out their high octane version of the Beatles’ “Paperback Writer” on their MySpace page.

ASHLEIGH FLYNN has been praised by NYC's Village Voice. This Oregon-by-way-of-Kentucky songwriter grew up foot stomping along the Ohio River as the steamboats and barges made their way to the muddy Mississippi. She has released three critically acclaimed independent CDs and her latest, American Dream, is her finest to date. Last year she was invited to play the giant Tennessee festival Bonnaroo.
