Bibis Ellison - The Sound of Spirit The invisibility of music has always invited a likeness to spirit. Listening to Bibis Ellison, and learning of her influences and character, you can hear the connection between sound and spirit. Both are invisible, yet each is a force whose effect on us is always incalculable. Ellison possesses a voice--and spirit--that inhabits a place many singers can’t go without faltering. She sings her songs as she has lived her life--full of emotion and raw, yet controlled, expression, all sounding effortless to the listener. Now in Wilmington, and doing what she started out to do eight years ago, she is back on track, and it seems her life is obliging her once again.

L Shape Lot - Prime Property
For most bands, musical style is often a statement of backgrounds. Like the late Gram Parsons, who was among the first to combine country music with the energy of rock, L Shape Lot’s music is a synthesis of folk, country and rock n’ roll. And like many artists today, they face the challenge to be commercially acceptable without sacrificing artistic vision. Miller and Lanier constantly pepper their songs with references to their life experiences; outlaws and heroes, loves lost and won, and make good music in the process and that, is no less stylish and intelligent for being straightforward – which, to most of us, is the purest and best musical style of all.
