Powered by the strikingly soulful vocals of Xandra Corpora, San Francisco’s Con Brio (“with vigor” or “spirit”) blends old-school grit with new-school sophistication for a sound that’s wholly their own. The instrumentation is timeless: saxophone and trumpet roll over thick organ grooves while guitar, bass and drums keep heads nodding and the dance floor moving. A lesser singer could be forgiven for getting lost in the mix, but Corpora stands out. Her rich and powerful voice is the first thing to grab you, but it is the raw honesty and sincerity of the lyrics that stay with you long after the club goes dark or the record stops spinning.

“Xandra Corpora’s vocals are stunning….The band, tight as a bungee cord…. What’s more, they kill it live.”

The Lovebirds ::

One has perfect pitch. One has perfect dimples. Together, they make the perfect pair. Sounding very much not like The Indigo Girls (although they’ll take the compliment), The Lovebirds are a folk/pop duo featuring award-winning San Diego songwriters Lindsay White and Veronica May. Thanks to the power of love and music, The Lovebirds can take a beating and keep on tweeting.

"With a guitar (and an occasional harmonica or keyboard) and lots of gorgeous vocals, the songs are all sugary-sweet and endearing, providing an almost surreal tranquility. Their lyrics would be corny (“I’ve got such a good love / That is why I have such a good life”) if they didn’t sound so sincere."
— Aaron Carnes : San Diego City Beat

Nicole Torres is best described as a smooth, rich blend of acoustic aromas, lingering lyrics, and body-moving beats. Sip slowly, as you may burn your tongue and won’t be able to taste the complex body. Up front you’ll feel the thump of thick, crisp acoustic guitar housing flavors of Jazz, Reggae, Hip Hop and Salsa. On the exhale you’ll note a distinct presence of “matter of fact” that will lift from your tongue just before it becomes smug. Eat a bit of lemon sorbet to cleanse your palate of nostalgia.

“A musical Chameleon of sorts her latest work has incorporated an electronic touch, but whatever she’s feeling on a particular night comes off pretty effortlessly.”
