Jim
Bizer
and
Dev Singh
Jim
Bizer’s songs are a unique blend of humor, catchy melodies, and his
own personal view of the essential craziness of being human - served
up with monster guitar playing and vocals.
His songs have quickly earned accolades: three times he has
been selected as a finalist in Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk
competition and he was recently awarded the Grand Prize in the Great
American Song contest. Most recently, he was among the very first to
be invited to participate in the song competition at the 2004 Mountain
Stage NewSong Festival in Charlestown, West Virginia.
The
spring of 2004 brings the brand-new release, "Connected",
showcasing another dozen of Jim's remarkable songs: a collection of
original and inspired performances, graced by his wry and
compassionate lyrics that express the beauty, the terror and the
wonder of being alive. The CD features songs about faith, rivers, baseball and
combustible waterfowl.
Dev
Singh is an American singer/ interpreter/ songwriter with roots in the
1960's folk revival. He has performed his distinctive brand of music
at clubs, festivals and on concert stages in the Midwest and the West.
Dev presents a varied and entertaining program of blues, ballads,
traditional, contemporary and original songs with guitar, autoharp,
mouth-bow, dulcimer and piano accompaniment. The broad appeal of his
entertaining presentation has brought him radio, TV, concert,
club and festival exposure throughout the USA.
The
son of an American mother and an East Indian father, Dev was born in
the Valley of the Moon - Sonoma, California. His first musical
influence was the family's record collection of classical, Broadway
show tunes and Punjabi music. His
most recent CD, “Balboa,” was released in 2003.
