December 7, 2009 - Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada - Trisagon Music and Entertainment

Canadian R&B, Juno nominee, and multi-ECMA award winner, Jamie Sparks, officially launched Christmas on iTunes, November 17th, 2009, with his first holiday track, "It’s Christmas Time." The singer/songwriter will help spread some Christmas cheer across Canada with his national release and promotional tour in support of the new single.

"I've been trying to get a Christmas song together for quite some time, but nothing I was doing seemed to click until two writing partners/friends of mine, Chris Iannetti and Randy Powell, helped me put this track together. Everything worked...it just felt right."

Jamie’s single, "All I Need Remix," was recently nominated for a 2010 R&B/Soul Single Track Recording of the Year East Coat Music Award. His unreleased single, "Fabulous Clothes," featuring musicians, Jacques Tynes and Nadasi, is currently nominated for an R&B Independent Music Award.

It doesn’t stop there! Much to the delight of his fans, Jamie Sparks will be releasing a brand new CD in the start of 2010. His upcoming release continues to have an R&B soul root, fused with some old school and hip hop with Jamie’s scintillating delivery, stirring rhythms, and smooth beats.

The multi-instrumentalist, producer, vocalist, and songwriter continues to forge an artistic path that caters to and captures the hearts of adoring fans. His music is filled with stories of human experiences; lust, pain, sorrow, joy, desire, and lots of love.

He has put in years worth of song writing, hours of studio time, and has endured intense labour to make this record a spectacular creative collaboration and his best work to date. "There were a lot of days, weeks, months, even years of work that got me to this point, but when you're doing something you love the time really just seems to fly by."

Jamie has also been fortunate to perform vocals on several projects this past year, including the new track, "Tomorrow," by Marc Mysterio featuring UK Artist and former pin up, Samantha Fox. Currently the single is charting in the European market and is set to be released in Europe on Dec 14th by SONY.

Eppard Brothers

2009-11-22T02:07:55Z

Um... holy shit. That set was too fucking good for words! The Eppards are so in sync... I can't wait for the weekend of December 3rd, 4th & 5th! Best "Paint By Number" I've ever heard. Stories of how they grew up around the corner from the venue brought me back to the first time I saw Joey solo, 4 1/2 years ago at that very spot - when it was the Forum.

I really wish someone could've recorded it. Could be the best Eppard Brothers performance - but I can't let myself say that it was. Each one holds a special nostalgic place in my heart. Can't be objective... however, I couldn't peel myself away to take any video or photos. They sounded too damn good!

No Eppard Brothers show ceases to be magical! And The Ricochet and Cosmonaut were fuckin' wicked too. I look forward to hearing and seeing more from them both.

Thurs. Dec. 3rd - Keegan Ales - Kingston, NY | Joey Eppard (solo)
Fri. Dec. 4th - Bearsville Theater - Woodstock, NY | Weerd Science & 3 (sharing a stage for the FIRST time!)
3’s “Revisions” release party!

Tree Records Canadian Artist Istvan Awarded Platinum By Uplaya

2009-10-09T20:43:04Z

Email: beatzone@clear.net.nz
Url: http://www.treelabel.com/istvan.html

Tree Records' Canadian artist Istvan, who released his first Album in late April, 2009, has been awarded two Platinum
Awards by Uplaya, an On-Line service that analyse the structures of the submitted recordings to establish the materials
like "hit" potential. The System studies rifts, phrases and format and compares it's 'sgnatue' with past hit songs and issues
an Award accordingly if the songs make the mark.

Istvan's Album "Clowns" has been awarded two Platinum Awards for the songs "More" and "Your Beauities In The Way". So far,
digital sales of this Album's material tends to agree with the Uplaya conclusion with every track on the Album generating
solid digital sales.

The hard copy of the Album has been issued in Canada on Istvan's own Publik Records Label and can be purchased On-Line at Tree Records'
CD Baby Site as well as directly from the Publik Records website.

Istvan is currently performing 'live' in Quebec, Canada several Weekends a month and working on new material for his next Album.

rock / funk / metal / hip-hop / contemporary / folk / prog / ...

2009-10-06T17:49:50Z

for all the news on Sick Kids scope out http://sickkids.tumblr.com

Weerd Science - http://myspace.com/weerdscience
Weerd Science is the heart and soul of Joshua Eric Eppard. Often mislabeled as, "Nerd Rap," Weerd Science is difficult to categorize. Josh crafts his own beats with Wavis (and sometimes CJB or Dirty Ern). The first album is a compilation of older tracks. The second album, Sick Kids, will be released this winter and features live instruments, many of which were performed by Josh himself, Wavis and CJB. Joey Eppard, stand up bassist Matt Goldpaugh (Matty The Knife), Clip Payne (P-Funk), Adam Wirnoff (Lenny Kravitz, Stoney Clove Lane, Mechanical Bull, Mercury Rev), Majestic, Anni Krueger, Gangstroph The Baptist are featured on SiKi.

3 - http://myspace.com/officialbandthree
3 was originally formed in 1992/3 as Joey Eppard on guitar, Chris (CJB) Bittner on bass and Josh Eppard on drums. Josh picked up the drums specifically for this band and stayed with them until about 1999. In 1997 they were signed to Universal Records, but then subsequently dropped due to the Universal/Polygram merger. Josh did some studio work and eventually joined Shabutie in 2001. Shabutie became Coheed and Cambria, where he stayed until 2006. Josh now puts all his effort into his heart: Weerd Science. CJB remained with 3 until 2001 and became a producer at the infamous Applehead Studio in Woodstock, NY (Coheed and Cambria, Anadivine, Codeseven, The Sleeping, John Mayer, Tony Levin, Bad Brains are among the endless albums with CJB's imprint). Joey Eppard is still with 3. Their music incorporates many genres and cannot be explained verbally. You've gotta hear it for yourself to understand.

Joey Eppard - http://myspace.com/joeyeppard
Joey Eppard is a very diverse musician with a distinctive vocal and guitar sound. His style of playing has been referred to as a hybrid of flamenco and slap fingerpicking, but Joey's just Joey. His band is and always has been 3 and he involves himself in many other projects- including several with P-Funk members (DRUGS, 420 Funk Mob, Cacophonic FM). He's soulful, funky, and metal.

Mours - http://myspace.com/themours
Mours is Josh Eppard's developing rock band. It's core members are Josh, Dave "Wavis" Parker and Ant "Session 606" Masington. Together they are Mours. They have an album in the works, but currently have shared only two rough tracks.

Session 606 - http://myspace.com/session606
Session 606 is a full band project consisting of one young man, Anthony Masington (Mours). The album is a work in progress, however, he has shared several demos and occasionally opens for Weerd Science, solo acoustic. Ant Masington also plays guitar in Weerd Science's live shows.
