ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Tippy Canoe
http://www.tippycanoe.net/
Originally from Baltimore and now based in sunny Oakland, songbird and solo uke-slinger/guitarist, Tippy Canoe is on a mission to bring sincere uplift in a severely down-slanted era by spreading her hook-laden pop-meets-roots music. On her 2008 debut album, Parasols & Pekingese, Tippy and her backing band The Paddlemen shows off their enchanting mixture of 60’s girl group and classic country sound Her songwriting highlights a variety of influences ranging from 20’s and
30’s acts like The Boswell Sisters and Jack Teagarden, to 50’s and 60’s performers like Brenda Lee and The Chiffons, and catchy post-punk bands like Squeeze and Blondie.

AntonetteG

A vocalist and storyteller since the age of 5, AntonetteG has delved into various musical styles including opera, musicals, rock, classical, country, folk and blues. Though she has been compared to other contemporary indie folk artists such as Neko Case, Penelope Houston and Mazzy Star, Antonette draws from this broad base of influences for a sound both pleasingly familiar yet at once all her own.
