Ian Axel is a singer/songwriter in the classic Ben Folds tradition. He has a great voice and a EP full of melodic songs that reflect his outlook on life’s experiences. Other reviewers have mentioned that Ian’s voice is “so clean and unaffected that it adds to his authentic feel, striking straight at the heart.” Ian Axel’s song “We Are” has placed in the top 12 of the NY Songwriters Circle songwriting competition. He has an introduction video on YouTube that pretty much says it all. Check it out. Get his tracks on itunes – he is a star in the making.

Shawn Fogel is a versatile one-man band who, like Donnie and Marie, is a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. His latest EP is “One Day in the Desert” and it plays like a version of The Jayhawks with a little Beach Boys thrown in. In fact, his DIY approach reminds me of Milkshake Jones a little bit. Go to the My Space site and listen to “ADD” which is a sure fire power pop hit. I can’t wait for the full length album.

Steven LeBeau is an unsigned musician from from Palo Alto, California. He is currently working on his demo album and has a real Todd Rundgren influenced sound. Since he is still interning at a recording studio and learning Pro Tools, I expect he is doing everything from the singing, playing, mixing, etc. (Just like Todd!) Listen to his single “Rebound Girl” – and encourage young talent!

I’m just wondering if you bought a physical copy of Ian Axel’s EP ‘i’m on to you’. I’m such a big fan of him and I can’t find this EP online anymore. Can I buy your copy of his CD? =)
