John Butler Trio, G. Love & Special Sauce, Tristan Prettyman

G. Love & Special Sauce
G. Love & Special Sauce are a Philadelphia-based trio whose laid-back, sloppy blues sound is quite unique, as it encompasses the sound/production of classic R&B and recent rap artists (the Beastie Boys, in particular).

Tristan Prettyman
A former model for Quicksilver's Roxy label, singer/songwriter Tristan Prettyman grew up in the San Diego area. Her beachside town allowed for many surfing excursions, and Prettyman practiced the sport often as a teenager.

John Butler Trio
The John Butler Trio is primarily eclectic roots/jam band from Australia led by guitarist and vocalist John Butler. Two of the band's albums — Three (2001) and Living 2001-2002 (2003) — have gone platinum in Australia and reached the top ten of the Australian album charts in those years.
