Just-Bus — From their web site: “If you're looking for one heavy, tight fisted son of a blues band, then you're looking for Just Bus. This young gang of blues miscreants hails from the sticks of Des Moines. With blues influences ranging from Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton to Buddy Guy & Bernard Allison, Just Bus will keep the beer tastin' just as sweet during every tune. Lead man Gabe Van Nordstrand shows his versatility with his "fret-board manipulation" on the fast ones, and his "my woman done left me" howl on the slow burners. Accentuating his lunacy is keys man Mike Fust, described by "Blues Wax" as, "one of the premier organ and piano players in Iowa." Another member of the "controlled chaos" is drummer Levi Baber, with a bad reputation of bustin' heads...literally. I believe the bumper sticker on his car says it best with "Don't feed the drummer." Putting the harness on this four man blues beast is bass man Ben Fust. Whether you're looking for the grueling Texas blues, an edgy Just Bus original, or a mean southern shuffle, Just-Bus will take you where you want to go.” View the complete site at http://www.just-bus.com/.

Christa Couture — From Christa’s web site: Christa's music is neo-folk pop. Described in reviews as "the new Ani" and "Tori Amos with a guitar," she's a formidable young woman armed with a haunting voice and a quick-witted, poignant turn-of-phrase. Her live performances are energetic and moving and it is in this context that Christa's work is at its spontaneous best — fueling her attentive audience with candor, wit and passion. Christa recently recorded her first full-length album, entitled "Fell Out of Oz," which should be released in April. You can find much more information at her web site, http://www.christacouture.com.
