**** ROSIN COVEN: the World's Premiere Pagan Lounge Ensemble; nine musicians blend voices, cellos, contrabass, violin, guitar, trombone, trumpet, vibraphone, drums, and percussion to create their own style of chamber cabaret. Edith Piaf does the cha-cha with Charles Mingus, Eric Satie tangos with Sun-Ra, and Kurt Weil broods over Doris Day. Creators of San Francisco's infamous Edwardian Ball, Rosin Coven presents an irreverent yet elegant balance between musicianship, poise, theatricality, and humor. Darkened dirges, fiery tangos, sultry lounge, and cinematic dreams. www.rosincoven.com / myspace.com/rosincoven

**** GEORGE COLE has just returned from playing sold out shows at Carnegie Hall in New York and The Freight & Salvage in Berkeley. He dazzled audiences at The Grammy's Showcase last recently. Cole's superbly crafted and melodically sophisticated original music reminds us of the best of George Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, and Cole Porter. He is considered by many of his peers to be one of the top "acoustic shred masters". His highly stylized approach sounds like a cross between Django Reinhardt and vintage Les Paul. George's crooning vocals evoke the sound of early Frank Sinatra and Harry Connick Jr.His songs have a Jazz Age, Swing Era, and Gypsy Jazz rhythm that will make you want to move your feet and get up and dance. www.georgecole.net

**** KIM "VERMILLION" BOEKBINDER has spent the last five years writing, recording, and touring with the internationally acclaimed band, Vermillion Lies. Having performed hundreds of shows across the world - headlining such venues as the Gogol Club in Moscow, Teatro Circo de Braga in Portugal and San Francisco's Great American Music Hall - Kim is currently working on her first solo release and congruent tour. Kim's solo music is cut from a constantly evolving swath of experiences, sounds, and layered stories; A sound that she calls "retro-electric-snap-crackle-pop". With an arsenal of songs, a hollow body electric guitar, a looping pedal, and a voice of stunning clarity, Kim's shows are all carefully crafted and completely unique. www.myspace.com/kimvermillion
