October 2009
Ryan Veldhuis Named as Indie Artists Alliance
Rookie Artist of the Year

What began as free styles at parties just became more of a passion for Ryan.

His friends would always make him freestyle, and the crowd would enjoy what Ryan had to say. As time went on Ryan would freestyle in chat rooms which is where he began to write. He decided that he wanted to do music from scratch; making beats and writing his own lyrics,

Ryan formed something not only for himself but for those around him. As his passion grew he began to record other artists forming a group that was know as Phunkthouse. Phunkthouse included Stump, St. Jerome and Ryan (Coach).

Ryan has also been inducted into the Indie Artists Alliance Hall of Fame

July 2008 - Indie Picks!

One Day by Mark Bowers

 

Every song is the essence of an emotion translated through music. There are no words, but they don't need words. Garage Band says "Inside your own head, it's big and sound takes on a deep sparkling quality that diffuses all sense of space and time. Ricocheting in flawless geometry are the memorial echoes of decades beat behind. It rushes to the surface in a simmering emotional intensity that knocks you back for an ill defined moment, then you realize with great release that all is perfect and the divine. (last section of track) Relax and sink into the matrix of the cosmos."
Mark's music your very soul, because it came from the depths of his.
This debut CD, One Day, encompasses moods, thoughts and events from a day--early morning, the sun rising, an afternoon thunderstorm, and the fading light of the setting sun.
Twelve tracks of peaceful relaxing music. Seventy minutes to escape the chaos of life. Like a breath of fresh air.  Music that truly stirs the soul...

Dogspeed Michael Gaither

Michael Gaither is clearly one of my favorite artists. You'd never know that he was a local (Santa Cruz) Indie musician when you listen to his latest album This CD is professionally produced by Jimmy Jackson, sound levels are spot on, harmonies are perfect and he is a stellar guitarist, singer-songwriter.

He calls his CD, another collection of mostly true Americana tales, ranging from concert memories, to the perils of modern technology, to a 4-legged hero of 9-11 (Roselle). It's a great CD talking about everyday life, memories, musings and a poke at those jerks who talk on their cell phones while driving (Hang it Up). There is something that everyone can relate to on this CD. His cover of Van Morrisons' Tupelo Honey is my favorite on the album. I wish it went a little longer as my memory of this song wants to keep singing along after the song ends. It may be because it's better than the original, it may be because of Breanna Eddy who does harmonies on this song. Breanna Eddy also does harmonies on the first track of the album, I Miss My Town. A great song to start off this CD getting you in the mood for what follows. It would be easy to compare Michael to the likes of Pete Seeger, Woodie Guthrie, Bob Dylan, John Prine, but he really is one-of-a-kind.
--Phil Peretz, Indie Artists Alliance
