- Bridging the worlds of indie rock, alt-country, and folk, singer/songwriter Dawn Landes has played with a similarly diverse range of artists, including Fred Eaglesmith, Amy Rigby, John Gorka, and Rainer Maria. A Louisville, KY, native, Landes moved to New York to attend N.Y.U. and play music; she obtained a weekly spot at the Jack Hardy song exchange and also plays frequent shows in New York as well as on the campuses of Yale, Sarah Lawrence, Barnard, Columbia, Brown, and, of course, her own school. In May 2001, Landes recorded her debut album, The Musician, with her band in Nashville, TN.

Peasant

- Although he's been on the road a lot lately, this Peasant has a home. And home for Damien DeRose is the small town of Doylestown, PA; a quaint and charming place outside of Philadelphia where the birth of Peasant's time-honoring (yet unique) sound makes a lot of sense.
Having drawn comparisons to acts like Elliott Smith and Simon and Garfunkle, Peasant creates his own style by channeling his analytical personality through a guitar and soothing, yet troubled lyrics.
Maintaining a humble and engaging personality, Peasant almost contradicts himself with his emotion-evoking songs and composed nature on stage. He has continued to display an ability to quiet nearly any audience with a simple acoustic guitar, an awe-inspiring vocal style, and a personality of timid confidence.
DeRose's lyrical honesty and almost sepia-toned sound inspire both feeling and mental imagery. And it is these lyrics, coupled with the lucid sound of his guitar, that justify the popularity of his first release, Fear Not, Distant Lover.
This spring, Peasant gained new ground, with his sophomore release "On the Ground" (Paper Garden Records debut).... once again leaving fans begging for more.
Quiet Life

- "Quiet Life could conceivably have the next “What’s The Story (Morning Glory)”."
- Neufutur
"Pleasant chord progressions, soft harmonies, and enough of a Southern wail to double check the band's Connecticut address."
