PATRICE PIKE and THE PATRICE PIKE BAND

http://www.patricepike.com/

Patrice Pike has persevered in the music industry where there is no science to success. There is science, however, in sending one’s DNA to space. There is science in the technology behind video games. There is science to music theory.

But there is no true scientific formula to knowing melody, rhythm, song-writing as if it were a part of your own genetic make-up. And there is no science to philanthropy.

There is only Pike’s raw talent and drive that still goes unmatched today. Patrice Pike has been privy to numerous successes in her career. With major label deals, international television appearances, global radio play, and countless concerts spanning the continents, Pike knows the ins-and-outs of life in music.

Pike recently received the great honor of being the youngest person ever inducted into the Texas Music Hall of Fame. She has also received numerous awards, including Musician of the Year in Austin, Texas. She has released 5 CD’s and is soon to release a new creation which ventures into a new sound for Pike, mixing organic and electronic instruments, showcasing her strengths in rock and soul music.

Traditional methods to success are only a small part of Pike’s vision. She has found herself now with the greatest intentions of reaching beyond the scope of her own fantastic history and is now turning her focus on other great achievements.

Pike is also a true believer in community and philanthropy. Patrice co-founded The Grace Foundation of Texas, which raises health, wellness and education training for young adult survivors of childhood homelessness.

In it's third year, the Grace Foundation of Texas has given scholarships and support to 5 young individuals who suffered the streets and who, like Pike herself, have persevered in a difficult world through one’s own will and the dream to become something greater than what was laid before them.

Patrice is a true warrior on earth who is a visionary, an activist, a true power packed into a feisty body full of talent, energy, and soul. She sings the world into her music. Her melodies translate human troubles into love and peace. Her presence on stage represents a life full of adventure and fearlessness.

Her lyrics tell us a story of courage and humanity. Her drive reminds us that we can take nothing less than the best of our hopes and desires.

Inner Frequency

http://www.reverbnation.com/innerfrequency

Members: Cara Young - Vocals; Luke Carnevale - Acoustic Guitar; Barry Dyer - Electric Guitar; Brad Brock - bass; Jon Mosig - drums

Cara and Luke connected through a musician website in 2005 and discovered a strong song-writing chemistry. Both were writing songs alone, but needed a partner to complete the picture. Some songs in the Inner Frequency catalog were written by Cara (Big Talker, Satellite, I Like You Better), others by Luke (Sometimes, Preacher Man, Luv Drug), and some were collaborative efforts (Inner Frequency, Yeah Yeah, Fairy Tale You, Exposed). “Luke and I balance each other out really well. Though we rarely sit and write a song together in the same room, our ideas always seem to complement each other,” says Cara.

Cara’s strong, sultry voice has reminded listeners of Annie Lennox, Grace Slick, and Johnette Napolitano (Concrete Blonde). She grew up singing in church, musical theater, and pageants (yes, that makes her cringe). She sang all the way through college, but then took a few years off until she found Luke to work with.

Today, Inner Frequency includes Brad Brock on bass and Jon Mosig on drums, and Barry Dyer - Electric Guitar. Highlights from last year included opening  for Eddie Money, headlining the Deep Ellum Arts Festival, and participating in the GoGirls Musicfest.

Inner Frequency recorded their debut EP The Lemmontree Project with Dustin Mason at Lemmontree Studios in 2005.The band plans to return to the studio this summer to finish their full-length album with Will Hunt. The tunes on Surge will be on the release, along with at least seven more tracks from their accumulating set list of originals.

CSTS North Texas would like to thank all the guests that performed at our May 24th Womens Music Showcase:

Can't Stop The Music: Women's Showcase

Marian Call is a nerd extraordinaire living in Anchorage, Alaska, and touring the country as a singer-songwriter.  She writes songs that appeal to all audiences, but nearly always encodes a deeper, encrypted layer of meaning for fannish friends who know what to listen for.  Though new on the scene, she now plays for Browncoat and BSG events around the country.  Her new album "Got to Fly" was commissioned by Quantum Mechanix, Inc., and consists entirely of songs about Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, and a life of fandom.  Find Marian online anytime at http://www.mariancall.com or http://twitter.com/mariancall.

Kristina Morland

http://cdbaby.com/cd/kristinamorland

Kristina Morland's new album, Pidgin Music, is a delightful collection of snapshot songs, seemingly plucked from a prized but recently rediscovered shoe box filled with poetry and journals.

Instrumentation in Morland's are constant reblendings of gypsy, folk and pop music elements, with one overriding exception: Morland's vocals, which contrast soulfully, purposely against the backdrop in a classical jazz, slightly Billie Holiday sort of way.

In a town filled beyond capacity with great talent, Kristina has an especially powerful gift, more than just rivaling her more-famous contemporaries. Her voice performances have already fetched comparisons with the likes of Feist and Joanna Newsome (who Morland admits she had to stop listening to while penning songs for Pidgin Music, in fear of sounding too much like one of her own favorite artists).
