Rev. Truman Goines performs the original accoustic folk-roots music depicting life in the New Jersey piedmont region called the Sourland Mountain. Wonderfully entertaining and deeply moving, Rev. Goines brings us back to straight forward and fun music mixing rural and urban idioms in a way only New Jersey can.Winner 2005 New Jersey Folk Festival Songwriters Contest & 2006 Independent Music Awards - Americana

Mysterious Chords join Headline Management Portfolio

"This Dublin band's formula for success: enchanting melodies, pitch perfect harmonies and beautiful acoustic guitars"
The Metro. Dublin Ireland, January 2007.


The Mysterious Chords release the single ‘Drink The Water’ this Summer and Headline Management are delighted to announce that this talented trio of folk musicians have joined their portfolio of outstanding artists.

Formed in 2002 by Pat Fagan. 2006 saw the cementing of the The Mysterious Chords lineup. Pat now feels that The Mysterious Chords are stronger, tighter and have a greater energy about them than at any time in the past.

Although The Mysterious Chords have not yet released their first album, tracks from the album have found their way onto local radio stations and the response has been exciting and positive.

There are 13 songs on the album written by Pat and he has written enough material for a second album. Pat is also a teacher and director at the Dublin School Of Guitar and studied classical guitar for many years with Ireland's leading classical guitarist John Feeley.

The influence of this style of guitar playing is obvious in the arrangement of the acoustic guitar playing in the songs.

Their songs are melodic and the vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar playing have helped to establish The Mysterious Chords as exciting live performers on the Dublin scene.The group's influences are, among others, Lennon and McCartney, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, Neil Young and David Bowie to J.S. Bach and Julian Bream.

Pippa Drysdale to tour UK in 2008

"With an angelic voice and an obvious knack for deeper lyrical meaning, Drysdale proved to be a sweeter slice of Fiona's Apple." Drum Media, April, 2007




Pippa Drysdale is an Australian folk-pop artist who writes the kind of songs that reach into your chest and flick your soul.

Her music has been described by Groove magazine as "entrancing" and by Drum Media as "a sweeter slice of Fiona's Apple".

Artists she has been likened to range from Natalie Merchant, Beth Orton and Jewel to the likes of Suzanne Vega. She has toured Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth and appeared on numerous radio stations live including RTR fm, Curtin Fm, Joy Fm, and Radio Fremantle.

She has been touring Sydney recently playing the main stage at Peats Ridge Music Festival.

Her first two self-made CD's have sold throughout Europe (Holland, France, Scotland, Ireland, England, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland), the States (New York, California, Philadelphia, Oregon, Indiana), Africa, Canada and Australia.

In late November 2007, she spent four days at Love Hz studios in Sydney recording 5 new songs with the very talented Michael Carpenter and Matt Fell - the other 6 for the new album will be done early in 2008.

In June 2008 she will embark on a tour of Europe to promote her new CD. "Calamine Lotion Boy", a track on her first CD received extensive airplay, was voted number one on the Triple J Unearthed Roots Chart in January 2007 and was chosen for the WAM compilation CD.

Her song "Hope Wish Pray", from her second album "helium", was a finalist in the WAM Music Awards in late 2006. "Trick of Destiny" a song to be included on her third album, was short listed for the Australian Songwriter's Association's Song of the Year competition in July 2007.

"Helium" was RTR's feature album of the week in February 2006.
