Joseph Arthur
Joseph Arthur usually goes it alone. On stage, he used to perform looping to fill out his sound onstage; you could think of him as more of a one-man band than a solo singer-songwriter. But this tour, he's changed everything. (10/06/2006)
Hailing from the same city as the likes of the Black Keys, Akron, Ohio-based singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur joined Mary Lucia in the Current studios to perform songs from his latest release, "Come to Where I'm From." (03/29/2005)
Local group The Ashtray Hearts joined Bill DeVille in the Current studios to perform their Americana-tinged songs. (05/06/2005)
Asobi Seksu
Asobi Seksu could possibly come across like the most recent Japanese pop/indie import to hit the states, except for the fact that their sound is all Brooklyn, NY (09/23/2006)
Nicole Atkins live at SXSW
Born and raised in Neptune City, NJ, singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins lived up and down the east coast before settling in New York to write her debut album about her hometown.

Singer/Songwriter Nicole Atkins

Slug (Sean Daley), Nate Collis, and Mankwe Ndosi
Rapper Slug from Atmosphere thinks that he might be becoming better at promoting records than making records. The new full-length album, "When Life Gives You Lemons..." comes out April 22, 2008 after a plethora of EPs and an internet-only album have released within the past year. (04/21/2008)
Slug of Atmosphere joined Mary Lucia in the Current studios to perform songs from his latest album, You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having, that is once again putting Atmosphere and local hip hop label Rhymesayers at the forefront of the hip hop scene. (10/03/2005)

Erika Foster and Annie Hart came together as the result of a long train ride home to NYC when they found they shared the same passion to start an all-keyboard band. (05/16/2007)
Dan Auerbach wants to make records like RZA of the Wu Tang Clan. Like RZA, Auerbach takes his influences and feeds them into music except he takes it into another direction to make his gritty, soulful blues on his new solo album "Keep it Hid." (03/10/2009)
Augie March
The group chose the name "Augie March" in reference to the book The Adventures of Augie March by Saul Bellow, attributing the choice to the way in which Bellow's descriptive and poetic language reflected singer/songwriter/guitarist Glenn Richards own song writing style. (09/27/2007)
