  • Buddy Mondlock writes songs. He does it so well that some great songwriters have recorded his songs on their own albums. Guy Clark, Nanci Griffith, and Janis Ian, to name just a few. You might've heard his song "The Kid" (recorded by David Wilcox, Peter, Paul and Mary and Cry, Cry, Cry) and maybe even sung it yourself around a campfire. He draws you into his world - where a single snowflake follows the trajectory of a relationship, where you get your pocket picked by a Roman cat, where you might swim over the edge of the world if you're not careful and where dreams that don't come true still count. When Buddy's not on the road you can find him in Nashville but he grew up in Park Forest, Il, a suburb of Chicago. He didn't have a troubled childhood... his parents were nice to him. They paid for guitar lessons when he was ten and they never said, "when are you going to get a real job?" After so many years of success, there is no doubt... songwriting IS his real job!
  • Kevin So is a Chinese American musician who has earned the respect of fellow musicians, won over members of press, and radio, and has built a loyal fan base around the world. He joined the music world in the late 80s, and continues to this day to bring his songs to the people.
