Skyline Music welcomes to our exclusive roster:

Kreutzmann, Burbridge & Murawski

Bill Kreutzmann (Grateful Dead), Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers Band) and Scott Murawski (Max Creek)have joined together to form a POWER trio sure to capture the interest of the "scene". The musical chemistry Bill & Scott enjoyed at a meeting in Costa Rica facilitated by PHISH bassist Mike Gordon was limitlessly compelling, and when Oteil joined the band shortly there after it was an obvious decision to pursue further musical adventurism. Currently working on a debut release slated for Fall 2008, The band is hitting the road this summer where fans can capture the MAGIC of this electrifying combination at transcending LIVE shows.

Peter recently worked on music for a younger generation of music lovers as Peter appeared on the recent Rod Stewart CD, As Time Goes By…The Great American Songbook, Volume II. Best known for his fireworks on the piano, Nero is often called the most technically proficient jazz and pops pianist of his generation.

Ray Charles famously said:

"Art Tatum could play anything he wanted to...Oscar [Peterson] is my man...and Peter Nero plays his buns off"

Gram Rabbit favorites of Nic Harcourt and friends at KCRW and veterans of Coachella Music Festival, Gram Rabbit was Founded in 2004 by Jesika von Rabbit and Todd Rutherford in the desert landscape of Joshua Tree, California. They quickly gained attention for their offbeat styles as well as their decidedly bent take on modern music. Using beats, twangy guitars, programmed samples, a healthy dose of mind-altering lyrical illusion and super-charged sexual energy, they won "Best New Band" at the 2005 LA Weekly Music Awards.
