Roscoe & Etta:
With ornery tuning keys and rattling fret boards, Roscoe and Etta are a pair of aged arch top guitars possessing wills of their own. Maia Sharp and Anna Schulze are two singer-songwriter-producers who play these instruments and claim title to their names as Roscoe & Etta, on their eponymous debut.

Across the span of songs, the language of Roscoe & Etta is knowingly descriptive and slyly conversational. Anna and Maia know how to place the proverbial furniture in the room with a lyric; when to focus on fine emotional intricacies or to pull back for a wide-angle view. Not limited to structure, both know the rules of songwriting and gleefully break them. At the heart of Roscoe & Etta, Anna explains, “Is a place of intuition and authenticity. We showed up with no expectations and have been surprised by the process and ourselves.” Concludes Maia, “The inspiration in the room is at a whole other level. Hopefully that will come through for the listener.”

Jeremy David Baker:
Jeremy David Baker is an American folk rock artist, originally from Florida. He signed with Green Shoe Records in 2015. Jeremy’s music tells of hope, loss, and revival. His strong voice is full of texture and emotion. His first album with Green Shoe Records is in its final stages and will be released in early 2016.

Jeremy grew up in a very musical family. It has always been a Baker tradition to pass the guitar around at family events. His musical upbringing was an exceptionally eclectic search, carrying Jeremy from one genre to the next. He was raised on early rock n’ roll by the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. As a young teen, he discovered punk rock and spent a few years playing angsty fast-paced anthems before falling in love with old, classic, country folk music.

“If you dig through my record collection you’ll find blues, jazz, punk, metal, country, even a little hip hop. No jam bands though…never jam bands.”

Now, as a solo artist, he reveals the culmination of years spent refining a melting-pot sound which is both inventive and enchanting.
