If there is any justice in this world then John Garrison will gain a larger audience from this album, which is full of songs that soar and shimmer in their emotional intensity.

Returns, Reinvigorated, With Come On Kid'I know I've still got a lot to prove, but I'm ready,' the 'American Idol' castoff says of his debut, due September 14.Josiah Leming knows you've probably forgotten about him. After all, there was a time not that long ago when he had forgotten about himself too. "Absolutely, people have forgotten me, and rightfully so. I haven't given them too much to think about," he laughed. "I basically disappeared for a while. I had let the momentum drop. I hadn't been writing. I was stubborn, and I was not prepared to fully dedicate myself to this. I had completely lost touch. And then, three little words popped into my head." Those words were "Come On Kid," a mantra he kept repeating to himself as he fought to rediscover the spark that had made him a standout on "American Idol" back in 2008 (despite not even making the top 24 ) and earned him an unheard-of contract with Warner Bros. Records soon after. Eventually, the phrase drove him to ditch his two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles, disconnect from all the distractions — both external and internal — that had kept him from finishing his Warner full-length, and, as he puts it, "re-center himself." And for all of those reasons, there was really nothing else Leming could call his debut, which will finally see the light of day September 14. It's an album that showcases not only his skills as a singer/songwriter (which were pretty apparent early on ), but his newfound sense of maturity too. And that, really, was the key all along. "A lot of people that get off 'Idol' and jump into a contract don't think there's any more development to be done, since there's a fanbase now. And I was definitely like that," he said. "I was a little cocky, I wanted it all right away, and [Warner] realized they needed to develop me. They told me that I needed to keep writing, that I needed to be ready mentally, and that there was really no choice but to wait until I was ready. "But I kept writing songs that I liked, and the label liked them, too, but they just didn't feel like there was a single for radio, so they didn't want to put an album out," he continued. "And I was getting more and more frustrated, because, really, I wasn't ready to do the work. Like I've always done, I wanted to run. When I was young, I ran away from home. After 'Idol' didn't work out, I ran from that. And I wanted to run from this. But, luckily, I didn't." Leming said he had an awakening last summer, after his mother died following a lengthy battle with cancer . He realized he had no other options, that making music was his dream, and he was about to blow a tremendous opportunity. Inspired, he parted ways with his previous management team, got back to writing and told the label that he was finally ready to work. "I just realized that I was meant to do this, there was no other plan," he said. "So I sat down and figured out how I was going to make this work." And the end result is, finally, Come On Kid. While its release should be triumph enough, the newly invigorated Leming is hitting the road hard to promote it, playing new songs and still aiming for the stars, despite the fact that most folks have forgotten his name. His new mission, he said, is to change that. "I like being the man down, and I know I've still got a lot to prove, but I'm ready," he said. "The dream is still there, and I've still got the same lofty and unrealistic goals. Why wouldn't I? I'm a 21-year-old kid." ALSO a unique blend of funk, rock, freestyle, acoustic hip-hop with a soul deeply rooted in authenticity and optimism and fire-breathing!!!!

We have a few special guest tonight! Chicago Rock 'n Roll with a new Spin!
"Harnessing a love of gritty classic rock and 70s punk, this "power trio" delivers driving rock and roll at its purest. Their self-titled EP is catchy, straightforward and fit for rocking out, and their imminent follow-up is sure to follow suit." - Frank Krolicki, Chicago Rock Music Examiner Sad-Bastard Balladeer & Neo-Folk-Rock Troubadour
“Ullman loosely modulates his voice from pin-drop softness to soul-tearing intensity. [His] music takes the listener to a place inside that’s so distinct, it’s almost a geographic location.” –Theresa Wolfe, LUNA NEGRA MAGAZINE “David’s got a good, earthy, organic quality. His songwriting is very honest [with] a good sense of humor and very sing-able lines and melodies. “Déjà vu” would stand head to head with any Howie Day or Matt Nathanson tune.” –Jana Pochop, Indie-Music.com
Tosca Abigail, has been writing and composing music for as long as she can remember.
The Clergymen are a rock band originally formed in Orlando, Florida in 2005. The group relocated to Chicago, Illinois in 2009 and has since consisted of Neil Candelora (bass, vocals), Bobby Ferrera (rhythm guitar, vocals), Brendan Lazar (drums), and David Paige (lead guitar/vocals). Influenced by the greats of early rock and roll, the band has been building up a local buzz in Chicago, recording their first official EP, and preparing for their first tour in July 2010. With strong concentration on songwriting, vocal arrangements, and live performance, the Clergymen incorporate the retro sounds of the British invasion in their fast-paced, danceable songs. Since their relocation, the Clergymen have been featured in several independent films and even in an advertisement for the 2010 Manifest, Columbia College's end-of-the-year festival. At Columbia College, Candelora, Ferrera, Lazar, and Paige have studied under Gary Yerkins of the Insiders and Nicholas Tremulis. Candelora and Paige were also featured in performances with Ivan Neville and Joan Osborne. Candelora, the youngest member of the band, is a very picky eater. Ferrera, the oldest member, loses his cell phone often. Lazar purchased a drumset from Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick, and Paige has a dog named Max and a bunny named Coco. AND
Soul-Searching Indie/Acoustic Music that has been described as "Undeniably Catchy and Thought-Provoking..." While blending ambient guitars with crisp catchy vocals, Otis has been compared to the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, Bob Dylan, Bloc Party, and Bright Eyes. Lyrically speaking, Otis deals with such themes as the nature of morality, religion, existentialism, and philosophy. Otis gets listeners to break free from the constraints of everyday existence, while questioning if they are happy with who they are at this very moment.

"There are some people on this earth with soul of a poet. Even if they don't dabble in verse, you recognize them immediately-by a sparkle in the eye, the gentleness of tone, the way they can look at the ordinary and see something extraordinary. Matthew Perryman Jones has such a soul. Following in the footsteps of Leonard Cohen and John Lennon, Jones brings his poetry to life with a rock sensibility and gritty vocals. The entire album is superb..." Plus Special Guest NPR Says=Warm, Soulful, Smokey, Exuberant!
Kim Taylor's music combines emotional songwriting (a la Fiona Apple) with soulful jazz influences (a la Billie Holiday), and the result sounds mellow and evocative, with simple arrangements that don't distract from her smoky, exuberant vocals. Taylor has been playing piano and singing at church since she was a girl, so writing and performing her own songs represented a natural step. She lived in Florida until she moved to Cincinnati to complete her (still-unfinished) English degree, and resumed performing once she arrived. But when the songs didn't seem as honest as she wanted, she stopped writing until inspiration struck again. Her new album is the warm, lovely Little Miracle
