Pete & J December 2, 2006

Pete Harper and Jason Blynn together form the songwriting duo Pete and J based in New York City. The two met and began playing together in college and now play regularly in New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, across the U.S. and in the UK. Emily Easterly grew up in Richmond, Virginia. She began playing guitar at the age of 10 and her fascination with the Beatles led her to singing and writing songs. While in high school, she and best friend Mary Andrews formed the group "Jinx's Folly" and made their rounds performing around the Richmond area. Emily now attends the University of Miami as a classical guitar major. She is constantly writing songs about anything and everything. Her influences include Liz Phair, Poe, Sheryl Crow and the Beatles. More recent influences include the Flaming Lips, Sparklehorse and Radiohead. Mara Levi's music has evolved into a catchy blend of her folk music roots, her jazz compositional training and her indie-pop upbringing. Wielding her acoustic guitar, Mara sounds like a mix of Liz Phair, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette and Aimee Mann -- an explosive combination.
