Current AAA Artists

Kevin Beadles (Ripple Music) from Berkeley, CA. Award-winning Americana rock influenced by Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, Ryan Adams, and Neil Young.  Kevin Beadles' music unites classic rock with the back porch drawl of gospel, blues and alt. country.  What you get is roots music with plenty of branches. After deciding to do a double major at UCLA (medical school and music), 25 years later Kevin wins a songwriting competition (OK, he took second) was asked to play live on the radio and picked up a label deal along the way. All proceeds from album You Can't Argue With Water benefit Hospital Auxiliary at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center where he works. The auxiliary volunteers do terrific work supporting his mission to care for the underserved in his community. Not only will the purchase price go to supporting this effort, but a corporate grant will double the contribution. In short, Kevin Beadles is the real deal: an amazing talent with an amazing heart and soul to match. Lead single, "Shine" goes for ADDS August 2-3. You can learn more here.

Camomile (Astraea Records), from NYC. Many days of the week Camomile is trying to catch the melodies floating around in her head, a little like catching butterflies in a net. When she least expects it, the net contains something shimmering and full of life. Camomile's debut EP and new full-length, Black Horses, explore loss, joy, alienation and the longing to know the Divine. An environmentalist, visual artist and multi-instrumentalist, Camomile was raised with two musician parents, and she travelled along, hippie-style. During that time she saw the joy and power of music and became enraptured by watching the people in the audience experience something they needed and loved. Lead single, "Summer Turned to Winter" goes for ADDS June 28-29. You can learn more here.

Rig the Jig (Toucan Cove), from Ireland. It was an otherwise ordinary night when a group of musicians found themselves together at a pub session back in 1996. They didn’t know it at the time, but that informal meeting ignited a spark that grew into one of the brightest and warmest lights of today’s Irish folk music scene. Some of the faces may have changed over the years, but Rig the Jig has proven itself as a byword for wonderfully organic, talented and energetic performances of music and song. It is truly a rare breed. Not many bands have transcended the sum of their parts to become an entity with a life force of its own. Of course, the finest folk group can only exist with the finest ingredients. And in Rig the Jig, Irish and American folk songs find the captivating, story-telling voice of some of the best in the business. Lead single, "High and Dry", which was originally done by Radiohead, goes for ADDS August 2-3. You can get more info here.
