Skinny Bitches


Robyn Craig and Ricardo Temporao are Toronto musicians and friends who decided to start jamming in early 2011 with him on guitar and her on drums.

When they started trying harmonies and re-arranging songs (reflecting influences from Belle and Sebastian to Death From Above) that would see them singing with and against each other they figured they might be on to something a little different. Skinny Bitches was born.

The focus became material that could reflect their love of rock'n'roll while and writing melodies that allowed each voice compliment the other. (Their track "Kiss So Pretty" has been described as The Strokes meets Metric in a seedy motel.) After recording some demos they got on playing a few shows in Toronto and Montreal. Most recently, they released their EP "Debut"as well as a video "Gunsmoke" which demonstrates how this may be pound for pound one of the loudest rock bands going... but then again they're just a couple of Skinny Bitches.

Maria Jacobs - Free As A Dove

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, this former traffic reporter and disc jockey lived in Los Angeles for eleven years and sang The Langham Huntington, (formerly the Ritz Carlton,) The Four Seasons in Westlake Village, Chaya of Beverly Hills, and The Torrance Civic Center to name a few. Maria also opened for jazz trumpeter Chuck Mangione at The Coach House and in Columbus, Ohio she was featured with the opening act for Bob Dorough.

Maria recorded with Alphonso Johnson and Ndugu Chancler for an album entitled “Chasing Dreams.” The EP received a wonderful review in Singer Magazine. But Maria is most excited about the original pop and R&B album which will feature guitarist and arranger J Curtis, who wrote Where Is The Love? by the Blackeyed Peas. The album is called Free As A Dove, and for it Maria wrote eight out of nine songs. Also as a songwriter, she wrote “So This Is Love,” a theme song for a sitcom of the same name on the web. 

Maria has always been surrounded by diversity in music that reached far beyond what could be found in record stores. She began singing in the Melkite Catholic Church at a very early age, and soon began sharing the bandstand with her father Mike Jacobs, a drummer in the Cleveland area. Maria has always wanted to sing and began so by doing her rendition of favorite standards, a few of which are heard on her first album entitled “No Frills,” available on iTunes. 

In the fourth grade Maria began fifteen years of classical flute study and some piano,gaining a new appreciation for European melody and harmony through much practice and listening. All of these rich, early experiences lead to superior ratings in flute competitions throughout high school, a music scholarship at The Ohio State University and singing jobs in area night clubs. 

Upon graduating from college, Maria started working with several radio stations as a disc jockey,but it was in Cleveland that she met up with friend and mentor Bobby Jackson, three-time Gavin radio "Person of the Year.” The musical director of then 24-hour jazz station WCPN hired her as his research assistant. It was there that she realized she would forever be enmeshed in music, absorbing all she could from her various surroundings.

In Los Angeles Maria studied with some of the finest vocalists in the business, Including Kevyn Lettau, Marni Nixon, Roland Wyatt, and workshops with Mark Murphy, Shelia Jordan, Rhiannon and Betty Carter.

Maria still performs in Los Angeles, as well as Milwaukee, Indiana, Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio. She is featured singing in the film "Made Up," directed by Tony Shalhoub, and starring Brooke Adams and Gary Sinise. Her music can also be heard on WCPN, WRMR, WCLV, KPFK and KJAZ to name a few. Maria Jacobs belongs to ASCAP. For more information on Maria please go to www.mariajacobs.com

Ted Wulfers - What Would Santa Do?

Ted Wulfers is giving the world a gift of rock 'n roll this year with his newest release What Would Santa Do? What Would Santa Do? is NOT your typical boring holiday CD chalk full of boring old holiday standards. Instead, Wulfers has filled this package full of fun, joyous and super catchy original songs such as "Xmas In A Bar," "What Would Santa Do?" "The Hanukkah Blues," "Mistletoes," "Ukulele Xmas" and more. With killer guitar playing and musicianship to boot, this CD is destined to be a classic. If you're looking for THE holiday CD to add to your collection, What Would Santa Do? has everything you're looking for.

Ted Wulfers is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist/producer as well as the lead singer of the Ted Wulfers Band based out of Chicago, IL. As a rootsy rocker, his combination of heartland rock, Stonesy swagger, California cool and Texas twang has earned him the reputation as one of the best Rock/Americana/Alt.

Country artists around. His ability as a performer to connect with listeners sets him far apart from many contemporaries.

With 4 CD's to his name, a decade on the road and a million stories to tell, it's no wonder that this former philosophy major has shared the stage, the bill, the studio and company of Cracker, Hayes Carll, The Doobie Brothers, Keith Urban, Shooter Jennings, Ted Russell Kamp, Lowan & Navarro, Lucinda Williams, Jim Lauderdale, Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Wallflowers, The Ditty Bops, Shurman, Stonehoney, The Radiators, Chicago, Freddy Jones Band, Miranda Lambert, Camper Van Beethoven, John Corbett, Hamell on Trial, The Samples, Elmore James Jr., Darryl Worley, The Sin City All Stars, Gaucho Gil, Chico Banks, L.P., The Disco Biscuits and Superdrag.

In 2008, Wulfers had two singles from his acoustic themed double CD, Drivin' Barefoot top the radio charts at #1 and #4. Ted is also the Chicago musician who sang "Go Cubs Go" at a performance at Miller Park in Milwaukee and wound up losing a gig for it. The whirlwind publicity that followed thrust him into the center of an international baseball media blitz that included coverage by CNN, CNN Europe, ESPN The Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, The LA Times, The NY Times and hundreds of radio/tv/media outlets as well as several radio and television appearances just as the Chicago Cubs entered their 2008 playoff run.

2009 has been a busy year in the studio for Wulfers where he is recording his next CD. Special guests on the recordings include world famous artists and musicians such as Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty), Doug Pettibone (Lucinda Williams, Ray Lamontagne, Mark Knopfler), Rami Jaffee (The Wallflowers, Foo Fighters), Johnny Hickman (Cracker), Gary Morse (Brooks & Dunn), Dave Raven (Mike Ness, Keith Richards), Chris Lawrence (Mike Ness), Taras Prodaniuk (Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, Richard Thompson), Ted Russell Kamp (Shooter Jennings), Carl Byron (Warren Zevon, Michelle Shocked),Aaron Weistrop, Stonehoney, Claire Holley, Diana Rein and more...
