Since the release of his debut album, Hilton has ventured into acting, guest starring on The CW's television show “One Tree Hill” as the talented but somewhat pompous Chris Keller, and playing the role of Elvis Presley in the Johnny Cash biopic “Walk the Line.” He also appeared in Taylor Swift's music video "Teardrops on My Guitar." Teddy Geiger was always gifted with music, learning piano from his grandparents at an early age and guitar by the time he was 8.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • The Best Songs, Records, and Bands Transport You Back to the First Moment You Heard Them Each and Every Time They Play
    The best songs, records, and bands transport you back to the first moment you heard them each and every time they play. Whether you caught a house party gig after Better Than Ezra formed in 1988 at Louisiana State University, heard “Good” on the radio once it hit #1 during 1995, became a fan following Taylor Swift’s famous cover of “Breathless” in 2010, or saw them headlining sheds in 2018, you most likely never forgot that initial introduction to the New Orleans quartet founded by Kevin Griffin [lead vocals, guitar, piano] and Tom Drummond [bass, backing vocals]. Those hummable melodies, unshakable guitar riffs, and confessional lyrics quietly cemented the group as an enduring force in rock music. How many acts can boast being the inspiration of a classic Saturday Night Live skit? Very few. Speaking of incredible accomplishments, they occupy rarified air with spots on Billboard’s “100 Greatest Alternative Songs of All Time” and “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” as of 2018. Additionally, 2018 also marked 25 years since the arrival of the breakthrough album Deluxe. Maintaining a steady pace forward, the new single “GRATEFUL” garnered acclaim from Billboard who praised its “highly commercial, anthemic sheen that certainly pairs nicely with the approach of Deluxe.” The story of Better Than Ezra began before the nineties explosion they remain so often associated with ever even happened. Griffin and Drummond comprised the core of the band at its onset as they hit the road and won over one fan at a time beginning in 1989. This fan base would go on to be known as “Ezralites” by the time the first pressing of Deluxe landed independently in 1993.

  • Carbon Leaf Closes out 2010 with New Album, Christmas Child, and Announces December Home for the Holidays Tour
    CARBON LEAF CLOSES OUT 2010 WITH NEW ALBUM, CHRISTMAS CHILD, AND ANNOUNCES DECEMBER HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS TOUR. After winding up a string of September dates with Big Head Todd, Carbon Leaf has returned home to their studio in Richmond VA, where the band has just completed their new album, CHRISTMAS CHILD. At the same time, the band has announced that they will finish off the year with an East Coast December tour called HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. CHRISTMAS CHILD is a nine-song, Holiday and Winter-themed album, which features all new original songs. Singer and lyricist Barry Privett describes the album's genesis: "We had four major snowstorms in Virginia last winter, two of which happened just before Christmas--ironically postponing a big holiday show we had planned. We took advantage of the circumstances and surroundings to write some seasonal songs that would eventually become our first holiday album, CHRISTMAS CHILD." As for the album's material. Privett notes, "There are three snow-oriented tunes, while other songs focus on the holidays in general, encom- passing both the joy and melancholy of the season." Privett: "Ultimately, CHRISTMAS CHILD is our effort to write some original music that our fans would look forward to unpacking every December along with their decorations, and then putting it away shortly thereafter." CHRISTMAS CHILD marks the third release from the band this year, following 2010 Spring's CURIOUS GEORGE 2: FOLLOW THAT MONKEY Soundtrack for Universal Studios and the Summer's HOW THE WEST WAS ONE, the first in an ongoing series of independently released albums.
