Melissa FerrickBoston singer-songwriter Melissa Ferrick has the kind of relationship with her audience that few artists are blessed with. Her live performance is fierce and funny, outspoken and vulnerable, passionate and real. The emotional honesty of Ferrick’s first-person lyrics, the force of her vocal delivery and the disciplined fury of her musicianship connects her to her audience with confidence and grace. She’s been gaining fans since her first release at age 22 on Atlantic Records. Her next three recordings were released by indie label What Are Records. In 2000, Melissa launched her own label: Right On Records. Her 2006 release In the Eyes of Strangers marked the label’s sixth release. As if in acknowledgment of the passing years, even though her formidable energy be undiminished, Melissa's new album due out in September is entitled Goodbye Youth.

Joan As Police WomanSinger, songwriter, pianist and violinist Joan Wasser spent the 1990s and early '00s in alternative rock groups, including The Dambuilders and Those Bastard Souls. Her skill on the violin made her an in-demand supporting player, tapped to collaborate with acts such as Lou Reed, Antony and the Johnsons, Sheryl Crow, and Rufus Wainwright. But a few years ago, she set out on her own under the name Joan as Police Woman, inspired by the character portrayed by Angie Dickinson. She earned raves for her emotional, punk-informed take on American soul music on her debut album Real Life. In June 2008, she released her second album To Survive, a homage to her mother who had died recently of cancer, and filled with stark, unusual imagery, with song titles such as To Be Loved, To Be Lonely, and To America (with vocals by Rufus). A highly distinctive, compellingly strong new female voice!
