Cori Yarckin is excited about what the future holds in store as she prepares to share her music with an ever-growing fan base.
About Alyson
Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, dancer and actress Alyson has suddenly invaded our radio airwaves, spun DJs' turn-tables and infiltrated our Ipods with her debut album Take A Good Look. Beyond the breakthrough status, this young performer achieved what is nearly impossible for an independent artist - she scored three consecutive Top 10 Billboard Hits and a Top 15 Billboard Hit all from her debut album over the past year. What is even more remarkable is that Alyson released the album herself on her own label, "PM Media". This chart success led Billboard Magazine to name Alyson a "Billboard Top 20 Artist of 2005".
About Sparta
Sparta's newest album Threes displays a level of cohesion that comes only from musicians who are seasoned and confident. The great magic of Sparta is how the band uses the occasional minor chord but contrasts it with major scales to create anathematic songs of beauty and passion. Layering effect and emotional contrasts are techniques used on songs like "Taking Back Control" and "Crawl," and they ultimately make the music cathartic. The El Paso work ethic that gets someone up to work at a furniture factory at dawn, gets the Kinko's employee to find joy, or that inspires a band to work for months on an album, looms over Threes.
