Jace Everett

We'll tell you a little bit about Jace Everett: former Sony star, songwriter of hits, flaming-haired, smoky-voiced demon from Grapevine, Texas. You might recognize his song "Bad Things" from the hit HBO series TRUE BLOOD... His latest record is Mr. Good Times (2011). But it would probably be better to let the man speak for himself. Visit his web page here (http://www.jaceeverett.com), and for more, his MySpace page here (http://www.myspace.com/jaceeverett). Everett signed with us here at Weston Boys Publishing (BMI) in 2008, and immediately talked us into partnering with him on a new album project, Red Revelations (2009).

Swamp Rat

Swamp Rat's debut release, Swamp Rat (2008), features an eclectic mix of southern styles. It boasts a stunning line-up of guest musical talent, including Steve Wariner, Tracy Byrd, Johnny Neel, and Sam Bush. The three members of Swamp Rat all hail from Louisiana. Derek Mixon (drums) and James Cook (bass) met there back in the day (for years they formed the rhythm section of the band Howard Shaft). They met Dan Cohen (guitar, vocals) when they were hired to play behind Brad Martin; later all three played in Tracy Byrd’s touring band, and individually they’ve played behind the likes of Doug Stone, T. Graham Brown, SheDaisy, and Aaron Lines. All three are studio musicians much in demand in Nashville. Like most Nashville musicians supported by “the ...

Doug Powell

Doug Powell (ASCAP) is a long-time Nashville writer who's written big hits for bands like Montgomery Gentry. We're just as proud of his local favorites like "I Love Me Some Elvis." Doug joined Weston Boys from 2008 to 2009 as a writer for Panorama Shores Music. Check out his songs on MySpace (myspace.com/dougp) and iTunes and stay tuned for more.

The Levees

The Levees put on a live show not to be missed--it's the talk of Nashville. SRO wherever they go; dancing in the aisles and behind the bar; you name it. They sound like a badass cross between AC/DC and Creedence Clearwater Revival. ADAM JONES sings lead, JAMES COOK is on bass, DAN COHEN plays guitar, and DEREK MIXON is on drums and percussion. The band has signed a deal with Weston Boys Publishing, and we are more than proud to host their music. Get their debut record, The Levees (2007), on iTunes. Adam, James, Derek and Dan are native-born Louisianans; check out more of their tunes at myspace.com/theleveesmusic.

Dan Cohen

Dan Cohen is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, cat owner, door refinisher, and producer. Born in New Orleans and raised in western Kentucky, he went to college in Philadelphia. There's more work for guitarists and songwriters in Nashville, so back he came to the mid-south. And there's some damn fine songwriting in Austin, Texas, so that is where he is now. His latest release is Shhhh, a largely instrumental album from 2010. Dan currently tours with Jace Everett and with the rising Austin band Sons of Fathers. Check the Gigs section of this site for dates. Dan's first solo release with Weston Boys was Dan Cohen (2007). Two top-ten radio hits on the adult contemporary format came from that CD, and songs from it have been featured on ...

Denitia Odigie

Denitia Odigie is a powerful, rising voice in the music world. Hailing from Texas, a long-time resident of Nashville, and now based in New York City, Odigie joined Weston Boys as a writer from 2008-2010 (Panorama Shores Music, ASCAP). Her most recent release in collaboration with Weston Boys was the album Vitality, in 2010. Check out her latest work, and her touring schedule, at http://www.denitia.com/. Garnering praise from indie mags and musicians everywhere for her striking voice and her unforgettable songwriting, Odigie is poised to do great things. But why take our word for it? Listen to her stuff on MySpace and iTunes and buy her EP with Weston Boys, Brick by Brick.
