Bio – Oak and Gorski
Ken Oak and Ed Gorski have been making music together since the fall of 2004. Their last musical vehicle was the "Ken Oak Band", which would have been more accurately defined as a duo since there were only two of them. Now these crafty lads have renamed themselves "Oak and Gorski" and then recorded a new album with a full band. Brilliant!
All naming issues aside, Oak and Gorski are back with a vengeance. For their latest release the pair have teamed up with production duo Will Golden and Al Sgro (Meiko, Eric Hutchinson, Gary Jules) to create an album that achieves the potential their previous work hinted at. Good Advice, Bad Advice represents a sonic departure from the duo's earlier material while staying true to the organic string based sound that the band has become known for. Golden and Sgro provide the rhythm section on the new record along with Fil Krohnengold on piano and organ.
Oak and Gorski's music has been featured in the Dreamworks film She's the Man and CSI: New York. They have been written up by Billboard Magazine, self booked 5 national tours, and sold over 25,000 records independently.

Bio – Vishnu’s Secret
Some call it baroque-pop, others call it narcoleptic punk; at once ecstatic and operatic, but darkly reflective and full of melancholy; Vishnu's Secret defies all attempts at description. Vocalist Aimee Page and guitarist and cellist Bob Burns have been creating music together since 1992.
