Dirk Schwenk
Artist: Dirk Schwenk
Title: Along The Road
Genre: Country / Americana
Label: Indie
Along the Road had its origins in 2012 as I sat and cried watching the documentary “Marley.” I was overwhelmed that a songwriting talent like Bob could be lost to the world so young, with so many songs not yet put down. And there were so many others, too ... Cat Stevens had walked away; Stevie Ray gone by accident; Otis Reading to a gunshot; and too many to overdose. It made me broke my heart that the world would never hear the songs that they should have finished. And it made me sad that I too had failed to get my songs out for anyone to hear.
Along the Road from grew from that moment and a serendipitous meeting with Matt “All Day” Ascione, of the United States Air Force band Max Impact, who produced this project. His otherworldly playing, ear for harmony and knowledge of the industry was a godsend. Without him I just did not know how to move the songs from what I heard in my mind to finished works. The record was engineered and recorded at Bias Studio in Virginia with the great Bob Dawson, producer of Mary Chapin Carpenter’s triple platinum album “Come On Come On” as well as Dave Matthews “Recently” and “Remember Two Things.”
Full Release July 15, 2018

Kinnie Starr
Artist: Kinnie Starr
Title: I'm Ready
Genre: Pop / Rock
Label: Aporia Records
Empowered, reflective pop - a track that channels the hope and power that comes from making difficult decisions that allow you to move forward.
The lyrical hook is as simple and effective as the production that drives the song into a toe-tapping summer jam. "...I'm ready to walk away, I'm ready, yeah it's a good day..."
Kinnie's airy vocal flow is augmented by the addition of a gritty verse from Canadian rapper Spek.
Artist statement:
This song is my own anthem about BOUNDARIES!! Being injured from a taxi cab accident in 2015 clarified for me who has my back – both figuratively and literally. This song is about celebrating the act of letting go of those who do not support me.
Spek’s verse tips his hat to his own personal journey with letting go. I hope this song uplifts the listener to feel confident in their own abilities to move forward, and away from those who do not support their journey!
Kinnie Starr is a Juno Award-winning songwriter/recording artist/producer who has drawn praise from Billboard, The New Yorker, The Globe and Mail, and more. She is releasing her 8th studio album, "Feed The Fire" this fall, through Toronto's Aporia Records.
